A highly ambitious action RPG, Forspoken will have players will step into the shoes of a young woman named Frey Holland who is transported to a fantasy world where she has to use her newly gained magical powers to surv

Players will assume control of a character who was a child of two worlds, born Na'vi but raised and trained by the RDA after being abducted as a child by one of the RDA's leaders - and presumably the game's main antagonist - John Mercer. This brutal yet unique upbringing has provided her experience with the RDA's futuristic military tech, but upon reintegrating with the Na'vi after 15 years in RDA captivity, she begins to become accustomed to using the tribes' traditional longbow weapons as well, making her quite a formidable adversary to the RDA as she's able to use their tactics against t

Besides how visually pleasing the game is, Aloy and the task at hand to save the planet from its own destruction make for a great story that many players will enjoy experiencing between eventful side que

When trying to track down an objective, instead of a map marker you are given a handful of generic descriptors that are meant to encourage natural exploration of the world, but in most cases I would simply follow the quest icon and walk around awkwardly until I stumbled upon what I was searching for. Pandora is a fairly homogenous mixture of bright colours and alien fauna, meaning it was difficult to pinpoint proper landmarks or feel like I was making a mark on a place I would come to fondly memorise. It felt like an extra hurdle, and one that doesn’t do enough to differentiate itself from its contemporaries. Sprinting can feel weirdly slow too, making on-foot traversal of Pandora a bit of an afterthought once you have access to a flying mount who can be summoned from literally anywhere. When I could fast travel or soar into the sky, walking around on my lanky blue legs didn’t feel worth the trouble without knowing exactly what side missions would await me on the ground.

Besides the beauty of many of the locations being similar to the already revealed teaser trailer of Avatar as well as the screenshots given, players can expect to explore a beautiful planet that rivals the realms of God of W

On the other side of the scale, players may wish to focus on one alien planet which is mostly covered in water. Like how Jake and his family had to learn to adapt in Avatar: The Way of Water , news the player must learn how to survive in the dangerous ocean of Subnautica where there is no land to be s

Being developed by the studio behind Tom Clancy's The Division and published by Ubisoft, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will be an open-world first-person shooter and tell a standalone story within the universe established by the film and has the potential to become a licensed game that is actually go

As expected while exploring space players will find aliens to communicate with but most importantly beautiful planets players must explore in hopes to find a solution to the time loop they find themselves trapped

According to Ubisoft, a major part of the game will involve the player bonding with an Ikran of their own. This presumably means the game will portray the bonding ritual, though whether it will be playable, shown through cutscenes, or some combination thereof remains to be seen. What matters is the player will get one as a companion and riding it is a big part of gameplay. The official gameplay overview shows Ikran gameplay to include lots of cool stunt work that would definitely make some epic virtual photography, as well as opportunities to use the Ikran to gain an advantage against the R

Teasers released, so far, boast of some impressive visuals that will undoubtedly take advantage of the full power of the PS5, the only platform it is releasing on besides PC. A big part of the gameplay will focus on fluid and quick world transversal, which is important for any open-world game and is one of the most exciting aspects of the PS5 ga

A great open-world action-adventure for players to experience before the release of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is definitely Horizon Forbidden West . Set in a post-apocalyptic version of the US players get to explore further west in the second title of Horizon where they meet even more challenging robotic animal foes to defeat as well as all new environments to expl

Flying feels incredible, though, and goes a long way in conveying the sheer vastness of this world. Your Ikran isn’t limited to the clouds, but can soar far above them until it flirts with the precipice of space, all before flying back down in a process that not only takes minutes, but teases parts of the map I wasn’t allowed to explore yet, and couldn’t wait to uncover. It’s hard to ignore what Frontiers of Pandora is going for in its design philosophy, and how much of it fails to offer up anything new. But if it manages to flesh out the world of Avatar and its many ideas just enough, those shortcomings could be forgiven. There is a unique appeal to being dropped in a licensed game that goes beyond being a tie-in, and wants to push the universe further with its own spin on things, although it’s hard to tell how compelling its ideas can really be when the gameplay it relies on is made up of things we’ve seen so many times before, and also done better elsewhere.
