A slight step down for me compared to Skybreaker and the base game but I'm leaving a positive review because once all the kinks are worked out this should be excellent. Please don't make me regret leaving a positive review on this Ubisoft. At time of writing this patch broke some quests in the basegame, and the weirdness with the gear is pushed to near breaking point here. You can equip weapons that do much higher damage and the game thinks this is a downgrade to your overall power level for some reason.

Other than that it's a smaller zone than Skybreaker but I actually think that's more because this entire level is based around flying. We get additional weapons, systems, skill trees, and the world design actually addresses some issues that come up when you're on your Ikran all day (Dapophet Pods can now be restored while flying with a new environmental pickup). If the flying is your favorite part of this game then you'll like it. Story feels a bit lighter here too but I'm hoping for more. None of these gripes make it bad and this game is still overall like an 8.5/10 with all the content.

Note: Bug where you cannot play base game without DLC has been fixed. Got this in and the season pass in December and finished it all out in January with no major bugs

Genuinely outstanding. The first few hours of this were completely magical. It's the Na'vi Elephant Olympics! I'm sure nothing bad will happen in the DLC called "Sky Breaker". The new zone is huge and the story is really strong here. My boi Teylan gets some real good development.

Same issues as the base game though, gear is kinda weird, general low impact bugs here and there, Exploration mode falls apart a bit more here than in base game. Visually it's the strongest this game gets and that is really saying something. I have never cared about Photo Mode in a game but I was pausing to take screenshots every 5 minutes in this one.

*Edit*: okay these negative reviews about performance are insane, why are you installing a game like this on an HDD? It's a big fancy game for your expensive gaming PC. You know what this is and if you can run it. You obviously CANNOT run it on a mechanical hard drive. Read the requirements and don't leave a negative review because you didn't bother to check. Skxawng.

I did not think I would be leaving a positive review of a Ubisoft game in 2025 but here we are. This game has issues and frankly you already know what they are. It's a big budget AAAA licensed title published by Ubisoft. It has some technical issues, requires a pretty beefy rig to run smoothly without being on Ultra Performance (and you don't want to crunch the graphics in this game), there was this texture loading bug that I would get pretty regularly and would have to restart or the game would crash in under 10 minutes. For some reason menu keybinds just don't really work so I pressed J for everything. With the launch of the DLC some quests were bugged and got locked out of, but I was able to play through the main story without any issues. NPCs are pretty stiff and often times repeat dialog back to back. Gearing is weird and sometimes weapons that are clearly doing more damage will result in an overall decrease in your power level. So with all these issues why am I giving this a positive review?

Because it's amazing. Straight up outstanding.

Not only did this game pull me out of a cynical malaise but it also turned me into an Avatar radical and now I'm hoping for more DLCs and sequels and movies and I'm even playing the terrible 09 Avatar game and even tried the DS one. What this game does well is perfectly capture the magic and awe that we all felt when seeing the original movie in 3D in 2009. Pandora is absolutely exquisite and the scope of this game is absolutely massive. The game does an outstanding job of regularly reinventing itself in surprising ways and puts twists on the core mechanics that kept me wanting to see what was going to happen next. Yes, the skeleton of this game LOOKS like the Far Cry crap we've been playing for over a decade now but all the details are different. Everything has been given thought and care to how it will service the narrative and the result is that you, as the player, actually learn the flora and fauna of Pandora; what it does, how it works, and how to use it. There are mechanics in this game that are one system away from being completely annoying but instead it all just works.

The world map here is actually extremely well designed and feels completely hand crafted. Given the size of this thing, that is actually insane. For this purpose I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND using the Exploration mode instead of Guided. You can just outright turn off all the typical Modern Ubisoft quest marker crap in service of actual map exploration. No seriously, instead of being told where to go, you're told diagetic things like "It is on an island North of the Weeping River below the floating mountains". This system does sometimes not convey so well but it worked for me about 90% of the time. In fact I was shocked at how well the map navigation flowed with completely ingame signposting. The absolute best moment of this was probably on the Upper Plains, and I actually don't want to spoil a single thing about it. Sound design is also excellently utilized as hearing RDA gunfire is an immediate cue that something worth checking out is nearby. Honestly this game felt like playing Skyrim for the first time, you just effortlessly stumble across something interesting every 90 seconds.

Also want to shoutout the movement tech in this game, which had me just running around Pandora for hours on end not doing anything in particular but parkouring off trees, freeclimbing mountains, bouncing off leaves, sliding down hills into plants that give off spores that make you run faster, avoiding exploding pods, etc. Moving in this game feels completely amazing and at all times the forest around you feels like a skatepark.

Look, I know I'm gushing. But I haven't even talked about my favorite part yet: the story. No I'm serious. The people saying the story in this game sucks are smoking crack. The thematic consistency with this game is nearly unparalleled. This is a game about real life historical events and moving past that trauma. This game is, not allegorically, but literally, about having grown up in a Residential School. If you don't know what that is, look it up. In America they were open til at least 2007 and were used to terrorize and kill Native American children. It is completely horrific and tragic and the game does not shy away from the emotional trauma caused by these real life events. There were parts of the narrative here that had me nearly sobbing. The way the gameplay directly ties into the theme of rediscovering the culture that colonists tried to beat out of you is completely incredible. Every flap of my Ikran's wings felt like a defiant statement of intent, a declaration of freedom.

Now I need to point out that the WAY this narrative is presented is nothing special. It's the usual cutscenes, voiceovers from datapads, and radio calls. The presentation is frankly very boring and does the story a disservice, but the strength of of the story is in how thoroughly it dives into its topics. How can someone move past such an abusive past? Can you possibly make a life out of the ashes of such evil? Can colonists ever be redeemed? This game gives no easy answers for any of it's characters. Their pain and struggle to process their past kept reminding me of Disco Elysium. It's not nearly as well written, but the ambition here is of a way higher caliber than I'm used to seeing in a game like this. The game is worth playing and focusing on main story quests for this reason alone.

There are definitely NPCs in this game with Borderlands syndrome, Priya Chen in particular is completely obnoxious and has way too much of the dialog, but my Na'vi bros? Are you kidding? Teylan is my bro and I would die for him. So'lek is a total pimp. The story actually starts off incredibly strong and is handled with surprising care throughout the base game and the DLC. Ultimately, this is a game that is at least twice the sum of its parts. Don't let some of the unfortunate Ubisoft elements drag this beautiful piece down. It's one of the biggest surprises in modern gaming for me and I could not be happier that I took a chance on this one.

idk how he did it but Elden Ring is now GOTY in both 2022 and 2024

this dlc honestly completely changed my mind on this one, it is a tighter, more thoughtful version of the base game with better zones, better bosses, and it's probably the most visually gorgeous game ever released. It is a more concentrated form of the base game and it turns out that makes all the difference. miyazaki simply does not miss.

also on people complaining about the bosses being too hard: if you've played fromsoft dlc before you know what to expect, and frankly this is much easier than most dlc we usually get from them, the last boss is of course crazy but you would be disappointed if it wasnt

Well, there was this doom clone, more aptly described as a visual novel with shooting, and I see, well, I was swinging down the level on my way to a terminal and this guy, yeah. He was about six foot eight and huge. He was holding this pfhor staff, only to me, I would describe it as a lightsaber, something from Return of the Jedi. Before he can even open his three eyes, he collapses. Meanwhile, I can barely lift a finger to put the shotgun to his glossy head because I'm shaking so much.

He was vomiting and I knew that he was alive because he kept saying something like 'when is marathon getting ported to PS5' between convulsions. What happened next was really bizarre. Both ends of the ship flood with black-suited men, just like in Mararthon 4.

Genuinely one of the best FPS series ever made. Dripping with atmosphere and a *hard* sci-fi style with phenomenal writing and concepts. Both Halo and Destiny directly reference and expand upon many concepts that all start here.

But since it's old, you might be a bit put off at first. Try this: use Basic HUD (found in graphics settings), and set your Advanced Mouse settings to Modern/Raw Input/.097 for both sliders (doesn't need to be exact). The actual gameplay of Marathon is actually quite modern imo, the flow is excellent and there's lots of bold ideas that work surprisingly well for 1994.

Anyway, it's free so why not try it. If you're a big Bungie fan or just a fan of boomer shooters and atmospheric sci-fi, this game is certainly worth playing. Oh and don't get too excited about multiplayer, proper multiplayer is in Marathon 3 so just wait for that.

im not joking in the slightest when I say this is one of the best shooters ever made

nearly as good as dark souls 1 and absolutely the best bosses in the souls series and its not even close, sully and dancer are immaculate, abyss watchers are an absolute blast, irythill is the most gorgeous zone from has ever made and the gameplay is snappy and flashy. got banned because I used a boss rush mod but it was totally worth it

its cool

i really dont understand how to play this one yet but its definitely a game where you zoom around and blow ♥♥♥♥ up

I will say this one didnt grab me the way previous from games did but this game is structured totally differently, its more short chunks of gameplay rather than a 100 hour adventure

the best, if youre worried its too hard then ask a friend for tips. once in a lifetime experience kinda game
