Why You Should Check Out Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora

It's Incredibly Fun To Blow Things Up As A Na'vi

While many have criticzed Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora as being a reskinned version of Far Cry, the game itself is remarkably different in several key aspects. There is some shared DNA under the hood: Players will spend a great deal of time liberating RDA outposts with a combination of stealth and explosive firefights, similar to the process that's become synonymous with Far Cry. However when it comes to the gameplay is both different and refreshingly paced.

Frontiers of Pandora's story is also rather compelling when it manages to break away from the general goal of repelling the RDA's invasion of Pandora. Players take on the role of a Na'vi that's been raised and brought up by humans with the express purpose of removing any sense of their personal culture or heritage. It's a heavy concept, one that does shine in a few moments and certainly has more meat on its bones than most Far Cry games; it helps that the game runs for around 20 hours, never outstaying its welcome.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora may have closed out Ubisoft's 2023 with a bang but the company hasn't been resting on its laurels. It kicked off 2024 with the excellent Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and followed that up with this disappointing Skull and Bones. Later on in the year, open-world fans can look forward to Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin's Creed: Shadows, the next installment in the long-running series.
