Inside The Frontiers Of Pandora
Upon its release,Avatar: Frontiers of Pandorahad mixed reactions. It sits at a solid 72% on MetaCritic, but one thing that was pretty universally lauded was the title’s incredibly detailed world. Adrian Morales’Frontiers of Pandora reviewfor GameRant stated the same,praising Massive Entertainment’s effort in bringing a Pandora to life that rivals the movie series itself.
In the game, you take on the role of a customizable Na’vi character that was kidnapped by the RDA to serve as an ambassador between the humans and Na’vi. Sixteen years following the events of the 2009 film, your character (referred to as the Sarentu) is awakened from a cryogenic chamber to escape an attempted assassination.
The Xbox Series X|S version of the game is currently only available for in-store pickup or via delivery through Walmart+. The PlayStation 5 version is only available through standard shipping.
The first-person action adventure plays a lot like aFar Crytitle, which isn’t shocking given that both are published by Ubisoft. In the game, you’ll learn to utilize weapons of both human and Na’vi origin. On the human/RDA side, you have assault rifles, shotguns, explosives, and more at your disposal. But while embracing your Na’vi heritage, you’ll take out enemies with bows, spears, and more natural weapon types.
As you explore the previously unseen continent of the Western Front,you’ll also have the opportunity to bond with an ikran of your very own and take to the skies. This allows for travel to be much more streamlined across the vast landscape. You’ll have the opportunity to experience aerial combat while riding the creatures, too.
You don’t have to go out on this adventure alone, though.Avatar: Frontiers of Pandoraallows for the majority of the story campaign to be enjoyed cooperatively. So, if you have a friend online you’d like to explore this vibrant world with, you’re able to do so after checking off the first few prologue missions of the game.
Crossplay is also supported for friends who would look to play together on different consoles.
