Now, though nobody believes that Avatar's world of Pandora actually exists for real - though we sure wish it did - Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is such an eye-wateringly beautiful visual feast that it's incredibly easy to be seduced by the illusion.

Though Frontiers of Pandora adheres to many of the open-world Ubisoft tropes we've all grown tired of over the years, this is mitigated by the immersive qualities of said world.

To call the game a looker is quite the understatement indeed - every square inch of Pandora depicted in the game has clearly been tirelessly laboured over, ensuring that even the most insignificant piece of flora or fauna feels like a tactile, living thing.

In a gaming generation that's felt relatively underwhelming so far in terms of technological advancement, Frontiers of Pandora offers up a true next-gen visual experience, courtesy of Ubisoft's killer Snowdrop engine.

For the game to come within spitting distance of the lifelike qualities of James Cameron's Avatar movies is no small feat, ensuring that while the story and gameplay are relatively familiar, you'll want to spend hours in this lush game world regardless.
