Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora - From the Ashes

No matter whether it’s a book, movie or video game, there’s a special, deep-seated satisfaction to returning to a world that you know and love. Pandora is such a world. Home to the Na’vi, and bursting with neon flora and fauna, incredible creatures and the iconic floating islands, James Cameron’s fictional planet remains amongst the most vibrantly-realised sci-fi settings of the modern era.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora - From the Ashes is a solid, good-looking, well-paced standalone story that's well worth playing through for fans of the main game.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora From the Ashes is an excellent return to the world of Pandora, and addresses many of the original game’s minor faults. The new third-person mode makes the game feel brand new. Better pacing, more streamlined progression, and a darker narrative combine with effective combat and exploration.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora – From the Ashes tries to tell a poignant story of loss from a Na’vi perspective, but lingering gameplay flaws mean only the most patient fans are likely to stick with it to the end.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora – From The Ashes is like looking into a universe where the Avatar franchise was a venerable 80s/90s action staple.
