The gameplay is meh, camera even worse and for some reason you get temple run mini games
Stopped playing and refunded when they got the name of the kyoshi village elder wrong.

The Avatar Franchise deserves a Better & Bigger Game

Imagine an open-world game with the whole vast world of Avatar free for you to explore,
progress through the story of Aang we all love with compelling combat, beautiful scenery, and many interesting side quests that will keep you craving more as you feel like you're glued to your seat and can't take your eyes off the screen.

instead, we got Quest for Balance, an overpriced 18-chapter game with trash combat, boring side quests, boring main quests, and to top it all off, a Narrator explains important key events in Aang's story (Omashu, Southern Air Temple), instead of showing you cutscenes, let alone letting you play through those key events.

• The voice acting is mediocre and most dialogue lines aren't even voiced
• The camera is very uncomfortable to work with
• Unoriginal puzzles that become boring quite fast
• Re-skinned Temple Run for no reason whatsoever

Everyone marked Quest for Balance as a failure before it even came out, and as a fan of the Avatar franchise and a gamer, I feel ashamed this is the progress that was made since the last Avatar game came out long ago,
and my only advice is: DON'T BUY!

Avatar: The Last Airbender- Quest for a Refund

I am not your beta tester

Remember when they said this game was going to be a large open world akin to Breath of the Wild but in the world of Avatar? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

this game is an insult to the franchise

Now look, I grew up with ATLA. I watched it as it originally aired. Love the series. Gotta say, though, some of your first narration starting with "As you know" after the movie is not a good look. The gameplay feels... off. I don't know how to describe it, but the movement feels unsatisfying. The restrictive, occasionally unpredictable camera means your attacks often times don't go where you intended them to. The voice acting is pretty mid.

To top it all off, immediately after the shipwreck they throw you into a temple run reskin.

If this game is on sale and you are buying it for a small child, I would recommend it. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with this one. Go join an online ATLA rp community or something if you want a better experience, at least those aren't just rehashing the plot of the show... most of the time.

Okay.. Where should I start? Maybe with the good points.
- The game looks nice. I'm a sucker for cell shading and Imho they integrated the cell shaded characters well into the (un)real environment. The models are detailed. The textures are high resoluted.

Done.

Now the bad points:
- The gameplay is lame. Every level is built the same. You have a small map with 2-3 main quests and 4-5 side quests. And all are like: "Go there, talk to them, success" or "go there, beat the bandits, success". And none are challenging. Rather repetitive.
- The "puzzles" which appear in some levels are way to easy or just frustrating because the camera is not showing everything you need. Especially in Co-Op.
- The (rarely used) voice lines are out of context and sound like they've hired the cheapest voice actors they could find. And then reduced their pay.
- The combat system is just "Here you have 2 abilities and the possibility to block and dodge." Of course you can use them. But you can also just stand in front of that person and beat the crap out of them. You can dodge but it's not necessary.
- There is no revive mechanic. If one character goes down the whole party failed and you have to start from the beginning of the level.
- The "co-op" (if you can find it. It's hidden in the avatar statues you use to save) is more like enhanced NPC. No advantages. They even get teleported back if they run too far from the main player.
- Some dialogs are just cheap and don't make any sense. Especially if suddenly the person you wanna talk to spawns next to you and disappears again afterwards.
- Way to often you're left on your own with how to proceed or go forward. No hint from the game and the quest description is also not helpful. Example: In the dojo of kyoshi you're supposed to "train" sokka's boomerang ability. But they don't tell how to do that or what to hit.
- The animations are too fast. The movement of the clothes is a part of the animation instead of using physics. (You use unreal FFS!) which makes e.g. katara look like she wants to kick her dress away when she's running.
- Several story mistakes which are "explained" as "yeah... the person telling the story just doesn't remember it correctly."
- Several names and translations are wrong. (e.g. in german the pai sho tiles are translated as "Fliese" which could give you the idea that you can decorate the bathroom walls with them)
- They skipped the most exciting parts of the story. You just play everything in between. Everything that could have been exciting (like traveling to Omashu and meeting Bumi and passing his trials) is handled in 3 sentences in a cut scene. I'm pretty sure that if I would go on to defeat Ozai, it would also just be a cut scene that I get after I played a 10 minute level of walking to the battlefield and clearing it from from bandits.

After watching the trailer and reading some texts I had high hopes for this game because I loved the old ones. This is not worthy 50 bucks.
Well. Back to PS2 emulation I guess.

Friday bought the game on steam and got it for the kid on switch. Saturday, refunded the game on steam and refunded the game on switch.

I don't know who the target audience is for this but it's certainly not TLAB fans. Was there any oversight by Avatar Studio at alll? No one said "hey maybe the kyoshi warriors shouldn't be in a generic water tribe. Hey, maybe the targeting in combat should actually work. Hey, maybe Prince Zuko could be some kind of formidable opponent instead of a stiff robot. Hey maybe we should improve the cameras because you can't see why you keep falling on this jump. Hey maybe temple run is a terrible idea. Hey maybe Aang should go into the avatar state on the fire ship instead of just fainting for no reason." I don't care about the graphics or the voice acting, if the game is a good game it overrides all of that. This game isn't just bad, it's way overpriced. This game could be free, and it would still be a bad game, so a $50 price tag is criminal.

Avatar: The Last Airbender - Quest for Balance feels like an incomplete port of a mobile game that was retextured. It definitely isn’t worth £39.99 and I wouldn’t recommend it even if it was free.
