Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora review round-up – is it worth playing?

radiotimes.com:

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is just one day away, but critics are already releasing their thoughts and scores.

Taking place in the beautiful Pandora, players take control of a Na'vi as they explore new regions of the planet, join with other tribes, and fight against the evil RDA. We've been excited about it since the trailer first dropped, but is it worth the high price tag?

If you're thinking of purchasing Frontiers of Pandora – on console or PC – but you want to get a sense of what others think first, then read on. We'll share snippets and scores from across the internet.

At the time of writing, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has a 74 score on Metacritic, which isn't bad going at all. However, while most of the reviews are fairly positive there are a few stinkers.

Let's start with a good one. Steven Mills at Destructoid gave it a brilliant score of 90, and had the following to say: «Massive Entertainment has created a truly immersive and polished Pandora, that quite frankly far exceeded my expectations. Massive managed to create the same feeling of awe that I experienced when the Avatar movie was released almost 14 years ago.»

Ravi Sinha at Gamingbolt also liked the game, despite going in with skepticism, saying: «Massive’s attention and love to the material and how they portray it, from details in the world to the characters and story, gives the game its charm» – awarding the game 8 out of 10.

Antony Terence at Videogamer also gave Frontiers of Pandora 8 out of 10, saying: «Look past Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora’s dull story and you’ll find spectacle and freedom lurking in its Na’vi customs and breathtaking ecosystems.»
