And finished 26 hours later.
Well this is Ubisoft at its most Ubisoft.
The game is not far cry, it's closer to watch dogs legion for action or lack there of. You get 3 bows, short, long and heavy, a spear thrower which is a slower stronger bow again, a grenade chucker thing and two human weapons, a assault rifle and a shotgun.
As the game goes on you find better versions with a higher damage number which all adds to your character number which like destiny and some of the later Assassin Creed games means if you go somewhere of a higher level, you die in one hit. Yay for progress and fun
The game tries to capture the magic of avatar.... But if you ask people what there favourite bits of the movie are... No one will say, the famous fruit picking scene, the terminal hacking scene, the craft an arrow scene, the stealthy sneaking around the base scene, the run away when an alarm goes off and hide like a nervous bastard Smurf scene!
Avatar was about the action, the spectacle the alien wildlife and the living planet....
This has no big battles, the only time you fight alongside anyone (outside of Co op) is in a cut scenes. No dire horse charge, no epic sky battle, no man vs nature, instead it's a lot of sneaking and shooting a very weak bow at very annoying enemies.
The story is very basic and leads to a final battle which is a cut scene.
The world map is a sea of things to do, go and find a bulb, it increases your health, go explore a base, it gives you a marginally higher rating bow, collect some moss at midnight and hope it's pristine moss and you make use it to make a slightly better pare of pants.
The game decided to make you choose to either make better arrows and grenades or use the same currency to buy better weapons.
Imagine far cry, but post credits, no bases left, no enemy patrols and just random stuff to collect, this is that. Very limited action and a game that punished you for fun. If you go back into a base and get seen even once, alarm goes off and then your rewards and drastically reduced. So instead it's sneaky bow time, which is as fun as it sounds.
A pure far cry game/dlc but with an avatar skin would have been better than this.
Ubisoft need to drastically change what they are doing with open world games as Elden Ring,BOTW and TOTK have shown how exciting it can be to find exciting new things in an open world. This is a copy and paste experience and shockingly they have two bits of DLC planned at £32 for a season pass. I can only imagine what horror that will bring, another type of bow, more enemy alarms, another flying bird that controls like a wet paper airplane thrown by a turtle which has given up on life.
