At the time of writing, the game has about 368 user reviews, and the average score is promising – 81%.
This is surprising, since reviewers from publications did not particularly favor the game. In 2023, Avatar: Frontiers of Panodra, with a score of 72% after 81 reviews, can be called mediocre.
But players seem to like the release. It is worth noting that user ratings for the game are higher than those of Ubisoft's main releases in recent years. For example, Assassin's Creed Mirage has a user rating of 7.4/10.
Far Cry 6, The Crew Motorfest and Assassin's Creed Valhalla, all recent Ubisoft games, are lagging behind Massive Entertainment's Avatar adaptation. This discrepancy between critic and user scores is interesting, to say the least.
While Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora sticks to the Far Cry formula, the open world alone gives the game a lot of personality. Brought to life with ray-traced lighting, reactive flora and fauna, and a fun parkour system, Massive Entertainment's work doesn't go unnoticed. The choice of first-person perspective was initially controversial, but it ended up being successful in adding immersion.
