For Avatar fans, its a guaranteed hit.
In that way, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is very similar to its source material.
Instead of killing the kids, their softhearted guardian places them in cryogenic suspension to keep them safe.
The saccharine dialogue theyre dealt does them no favours, however.
When you hunt an animal, you offer a little prayer to Eywa before taking their meat.
Ubisofts efforts to further immerse you in Pandora extend beyond a few simple hunting mechanics, however.
The path forward is often readable even if youre not looking at the map.
This works particularly well due to how utterly beautiful Pandora is in gameplay.
Wait… is this just Far Cry in space?
Combat can be really fun if the player chooses to make use of all their gadgets.
When bows and guns are combined with stealth and grenades, combat can be a lot of fun.
Its not as satisfying as Ubisofts other games, but it does the job.
What really brings the Navi experience home is player traversal.
