What players are saying
Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 284 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Mostly Positive (12,658 of 16,205 positive).
Players praise the stunning world of Pandora and immersive exploration. [1][2] Many find the story mediocre and the gameplay derivative of Far Cry. [1][3][4] Some reviewers criticize broken co-op progression and forced Ubisoft Connect. [5][6][7]

Bought this on Steam expecting to launch the game and play. Instead it silently installed Ubisoft Connect and refused to start unless I created a separate Ubisoft account and logged in. I should not have to make a third-party account for a single-player game I already paid for. If I purchase a game on Steam, it should run through Steam. Period. Forced launchers, extra DRM, and account requirements are anti-consumer …

Frontiers of Pandora is basically: Far Cry… but you’re 10 feet tall, blue, and morally obligated to hug trees while blowing up corporations. What It Nails: Pandora is gorgeous. Like “stop moving and just look around” gorgeous. Exploration feels rewarding. The world actually encourages you to slow down and pay attention. Flying with your Ikran is pure joy. No notes. Just vibes. Combat feels good once you stop playing …

as someone who's been obsessed with the avatar universe since I was nine and watched the first movie over 100 times and the second one well over 30 times now, this game has given me everything, it has been a perfect escape from a rough year, and a breathtaking experience exploring the world of pandora. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. i will say, if you're looking for an incredible story, this game falls a bit short in that …

6.5 / 10 - Beautiful. Derivitive and Clearly Ubisoft Do you enjou Far Cry? Great, you'll probably enjoy this. The graphics are amazing, probably some of the best. Performance is ok, needed Frame Gen / DLSS to get above 60fps on max settings in 5Kx2K res with a 4090. I could def see it struggling on lower end PCs. The world is incredibly dense... But still feels empty? Everything looks amazing and it truly feels like …

Good game, bad co-op. If you're interested in a fleshed-out single player experience, this game would be a solid 7/10. The co-op on the other hand, is about as bad as a Far Cry game. A majority (all?) of the collectibles, you can't collect unless you're the host. It disincentivizes the co-op player from exploring, and more or less puts the host on a linear path because your partner doesn't want to make you watch …

60 of 691 · most liked firstBought the original ultimate Edition for $90 when it came out because it was supposed to include all future DLC. Now they are releasing a new expansion and want me to pay another $25 and of course released a new complete edition that includes everything from before and the new expansion for $40 less than what I originally paid. Screw you Ubisoft

We then found out, that the second player in a Co-op setting isnt able to collect thhe bellsprins and the tarsyu sapplings at all. they changed that back in Mai 2025. Its Dezember 2025 now. This breaks the whole Co-op thing for us and theres no reason to go explore together. Pls do something about it asap. I definitly wont buy any product from ubisoft until this is fixed. Like…

I have a lot of hours in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora because I genuinely love this game. That is exactly why this review is negative. The world, atmosphere, movement, exploration, Na’vi culture, and overall feeling of Pandora are incredible. To me, this game feels more personal than Far Cry, while still having a lot of the open-world gameplay I enjoy from those…

If you want a beautiful world with decent combat to explore and you also enjoy checklists then you'll probably like it. -Edit (on weed) It's an amazing game in every aspect. Conlusion: Play it when stoned.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bottom line up front: the game is good in general and great if you're a fan of the IP. But the cancerous inclusion of Ubisoft Connect and in-game microtransactions taint the experience. Good game overall. Great for those who want to "live" in Pandora and be a Na'vi. Essentially, this is an Avatar-skinned Far Cry game. It has some solid integration of the open world activities into the lore and themes of the universe, such as centering much of it around taking care of the environment and…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The COOP tag at this game is a SCAM, Only thing what you can do is main story. Host can collect skill points, permanent health incrase etc... player 2 cant do anything, so he will always stay at lowest level, or he must switch to singleplayer and collect those stuff for himself. Cant even refund, because you have to play for atleast 3 hours before you unlock coop mode.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just finished the main game, have not done all the side quests nor the DLCs. Here's my thoughts: Good: - The world and the visuals. The environment and creatures of Pandora look great (which is what I enjoyed the most in the movies). The sound design and music are also good - Character customization. Not the best I've seen, but you can unlock a lot of options for your Na'vi and ikran without using the in-game store - Gameplay. Nothing amazing, but it works and sniping RDA and making things…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am always seeking a game that allows a true, co-op story, which allows both players to progress through the story at the same time in such a way that both players feel like the 'main character'. That was this game on launch. Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend this game as they have broken co-op progression. Originally on launch, you could easily play the game with another person, and progress your character's stories together. Cheesy as it may be, my partner and I made the "devils of…

The main story is mehh, maybe decent enough to get through... I guess? Everything around it gets repetitive real fast. Clearing camps turns into a chore, and the co-op is a huge disappointment. A lot of permanent progression (Clan Favors, Tarsyu Saplings, Bellsprigs, etc.) only counts for the host, which completely killed our motivation to explore. We ended up skipping upgrades…

Not perfect but not bad or boring either - yet I feel like there could be more work added into the cutscenes. I personally thought that the end-fight was a bit too easy for the fact that it was the end. I must admit, I had some moments within the story in which I had goosebumps or surprise expressions from some plot-twists. 𝒲𝑜𝓇𝓁𝒹 ➢ In what this game truly shines is the setting of the world.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A typical Ubisoft experience. After two hours of gameplay and reviewing additional footage, it’s clear this is essentially Far Cry with a few 'unique' skins layered on top. While the world-building and visual fidelity are breathtaking, aesthetics alone don't justify the price tag. I expected more depth; unfortunately, it’s a classic case of style over substance.

Otherwise, I would only have recommended it on sale.
