Love this avatar game. The quality is amazing. Buy this especially if you see this on sale.

I really love the game, just a bit upset that the case came damaged in shipping, so I knocked it down a star.

A little frustrating at first doent really guide you on what to do. You pretty much have to figure it out on your own

The game is honestly so beautiful. That first step out into the forest of Pandora is one of those "Wow..." moments, like they gave you in Elden Ring. I do wish you could choose to play in 3rd person, though. That's one of my primary gripes. I feel more immersed when I can see my character interacting with the world, not just a pair of floating arms. It's the same reason I was turned off from Cyberpunk 2077. Alas, it is first-person only. I wont let it prevent me from playing Avatar, in this case, however, because the rest of the game is interesting enough that I can get past the dumb forced 1st-person camera, no matter how much I despise it. That said, the world is definitely huge. Huuuuge. It can feel overwhelming at times. However, they apparently knew it could feel this way, so your character actually unlocks access to transportation quite early on in the story, about the same time you start to feel like you need it, if not even a little before then. It's not a pointlessly huge world, either. There are plenty camps and activities to find spread across the map, with different biomes that provide different materials and ingredients. The large map also feels almost required considering the story focus. I suppose they could have made it work in a more linear way, instead of open world, but it may have taken away from the feeling of restoring a planet and its peoples. Anyway, it's a decent game. It can start to feel repetitive at times, especially if you spend a whole lot of time doing side activities. I recommend breaking up the side stuff with the story, as the story does a decent job of trying to introduce new things into the mix, to keep it from growing too stagnant. Taking a break from the game for a week can also help, after spending a couple dozen hours in it. The same could be said for many games, though, that an intentional break can help prevent burnout. I do notice occasional dips in frame rate, primarily when the game is trying to load a whole area quickly, like when entering a large interior area with many NPCs, but it doesn't happen so frequently that I feel it interferes with the combat or gameplay. If I could give half stars, this rating would probably be a 3.5, but I rounded up instead of down, because I genuinely think it deserves better than a 3. I enjoy the game!

My favorite games to play are Open World games. Avatar is so far enjoyable and the graphics are awesome. It’s taking a bit of time to figure out how to play, but with the help of YouTube I’m finally getting there. I have a lot of game left to play and looking forward playing. The open world is huge, so it will take awhile for me to finish. As an older guy that plays occasionally, I definitely recommend this game.
