Playing this now, the game is not bad at all, it’s just… massively disappointing?
It is just a skin over a Far Cry, with a lot of mechanics weakened to make space for the skin.
That being said, on the flipside, fucking hell is it the prettiest skin anyone ever made for any video game to convert it into another IP. Pandora comes to live like even the second movie could not achieve it, and walking between NPCs and through the jungle is utterly magical.
I would argue that if you get this cheap and you like Far Cry and in particular Pandora as a world, go for it. It’s not bad at all. But do not expect anything but a watered down Far Cry (which, granted, is an achievement in itself 😂).
The game is really good, like the Pandora version of FarCry Primal (last FarCry I actually played) but with better graphics und new fun gameplay elements like flying and an awesome open world. But if you are an Avatar fan the game is fucking amazing and an absolute must have imho.
Also the graphics and optimization are really awesome, rocking 110+ fps on a 6900XT on 1440p with FSR 3 and frame generation with everything on high or ultra.
So definitely would give this an 7.5 or 8 for normis and a solid 9 for Avatar fans.
Every ad I’ve seen of this game makes the graphics look like absolute ass. As if it was cutting edge over a decade ago. How the hell are so many reviews calling it “absolutely gorgeous”?
The videos on the ps store are really high quality, I would definitely call them gorgeous. I have no interest in this game, but I’ll probably pick it up on sale to let my little brothers play in a year or two.
Don’t know what kind of videos or ads you have seen, but the graphics are really that amazing. Last time I saw such an amazing and dense rain forest was in Crysis.
Hmm, from the average and some reviews here and there, it’s sad the game is just mixed.
It’s the first to get out with fsr 3 frame gen working mostly well. Fsr upscalling working mostly well, which is very unexpected due to a lot of foliage.
Tho the ui protection to frame gen was implemented in a very shitty way (just a box without frame gen arrount it…).
I mean, isn’t the point of OpenCritic to get as wide an opinion base as possible? Of course you’ll have a bunch of weird ones in there, but you hypothetically get the best overall view of a game.
Tbf PD2 was the same way yet I had tons of fun with it. At some point the horde shooting is just about overall performance and resource management, not combat itself, while the main gameplay is doing the objective alongside it. I preferred going with stealth most of the times anyway.
That being said, if the objectives sucks and combat is unchanged then there's nothing to make it actually fun and yeah, that's an issue.
Never understood the appeal of a game purportedly about bank robberies being mostly about killing literally hundreds of cops, it’s not so much unrealistic as it is completely farcical. It would be like Al Qaeda flying a plane into the WTC and everybody in New York going about their business like normal the next day.
