The game imitates the movie in more ways than one; it looks beautiful but the story is threadbare.

There's no doubt about it, Pandora's recreation is stunning here and it is fun to traverse on foot and on flight [haven't unlocked the horse mount yet].

The story is as you would expect, humans bad, Na'vi good. The map seems huge, and is full of locations and collectibles [albeit simple and repetitive in nature]. The enemies are extremely repetitive so far [13hrs in].

But there's no denying there's a simple charm this game has, not just in its story/gameplay but in its encounters. I constantly meet fellow Na'vi out hunting, fishing or just playing music down by the river. The cry of my character as dives off a cliff and lands on the back of his Ikran. I feel like a Na'vi.

If you're a fan of the Avatar franchise, you'll like this game. If you're a fan of the Ubisoft formula/games, you'll like this game. It's not a deep RPG, there's no choices in dialogue or consequences to be lived with. There's no romance. The nearest comparison I can make is to say its like Hogwarts Legacy; it's a good not a great game, it's not deep, but it made me feel like a wizard and Avatar: FoP does the same. That alone makes it worth a buy on sale.

Oel ngati kameie!

My first Frogwares game, but certainly not my last! Probably not worth the full price, but on sale it's absolutely worth it.

The game is awesome and immersive; they capture the feel of H.P. Lovecraft's books. The game mechanics are good and easy to use. I recommend this to whoever likes H.P. Lovecraft's stories and/or RPG/detective games.

Nostalgia aside, this is a great and active MMO even at the end of 2024 [recommend NA server though]

It is not F2P, however the devs often offer a 12 day membership to players every couple of months that you can take advantage of! However, the biggest downfall is the pay-to-access system for the other lands. You start off free with a very limited access to Wizard City and everything else you either buy permanent access with paid currency or utilize their subscription membership to access all areas while active. That's usually the best way to go if you're planning to play for a bit.

Lots of variety among the various magic schools, devs are upgrading graphics on the original worlds. Story arcs and world arcs are interesting enough. Can be grindy, especially later on. Very friendly community and the battle-system is unlike most MMOs nowadays. Check it out during a free membership period!

It's a fun fast paced game, if you liked Quidditch World Cup, you'll enjoy this!
Steady road-map for content release and no micro-transactions. Never have problems getting a game.
It'll get even wilder with 6v6.

Fun short puzzle game, not too challenging but requires you to use your brain. 8 endings, some with minimal differences but definitely worth playing 2 or 3 times for the one's with most variety. Solid gameplay loop. If you like plants, puzzles, and saving the world [or destroying it] with the help of an elderitch horror, this game is right up your street!

An good improvement over 22 but not much different to 23. Unless you really want My Team. I'd wait another year maybe.

The days of searching for "Ghost of Tsushima PC" a million times are finally over.

Runs well, looks beautiful, a very well done PC-port!

A great study tool, it's got charm and some nice customisables that'll be expanded in future!

You should consider buying it if you want a game that:

‣ Allows you to listen to Lofi or any custom music you like
‣ Lets you organize your thoughts and ideas
‣ Helps you study and create a study routine
‣ Enables you to organize special dates and events
‣ Includes many cute pets
‣ Features a custom character system
‣ Offers custom room decoration options
‣ Provides environmental sounds such as rain, wind, thunder, white noise, etc.

This is a great remake of the classic Harvest Moon game. While it doesn't have the style and panache of modern farming sims, what it lacks in features it makes up for in charm. It's a slow farming/life sim with a story to follow. The town will change over the years [chapters], friends will come and go, and the world evolves with or without you. This adds an element of realism not seen in many modern day alternatives as well as making each interaction/scene with characters special because [at least in your first run] you don't know who's going to be where by the end of the year. So many die, move on, change locations and new characters will be introduced. It's emphasis on community, family and relationships is top notch!

While it's got a lot of heart, don't expect to be strategising too much or min-maxing skills/methods to raise money. There's variety here sure, but the scope is limited compared to modern titles. If you find recent games a bit too stressful and overwhelming with too many options on how to farm, this is the game for you!

This is without a doubt one of the finest, if not the finest visual novel I've ever played. Each of its characters, including side, are fleshed out and feel real. The voice acting is solid and the game is incredibly story focused rather than sex first story last. It's main character is easy to fall in love with and his journey, accompanied by beautiful music and art, really makes this a top tier visual novel.

It is an awesome adventure romance game!
