Theres a big tree in my backyard that has always looked quite alien to me.
As a big Avatar fan Ive always thought of it as my own little slice of Pandora.
Theres three main regions to explore.
it really feels like being in the Pandora of the films.
For plants, that means gathering them under the right weather conditions and harvesting them just right.
Each plant has a different angle it needs to be retrieved to gather it intact.
The more thoughtful you are about gathering, the better your crafting materials will be.
Hunting and gathering are only one path towards progress, which is something I really appreciated about Frontiers.
Doing just the things I wanted to do provided what I needed.
Speaking of combat, theres a lot of it.
Frontiers encourages a stick-and-move, guerilla tactics playstyle that feels fitting.
You never encounter RDA and Navi warriors in battle, and Navi never come to your aid.
This is a huge part of Avatar that feels conspicuously missing from the game.
Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora Is Constantly Stunning
Story and characters are Frontiers biggest weakness.
It also has a total lack of cinematic flourish, since youre locked in first-person, even in cutscenes.
The bad guys are forgettably two-dimensional.
Frontiers of Pandora captures Pandora with stunningly perfect accuracy, but it doesnt quite nail Avatar.
Its everything you love and hate about Ubisoft games, Avatar-style.
