As our Avatar: The Last Airbender - Quest for Balance review explains, the game becomes aggressively fine as expectations are lowered.
Avatar: The Last Airbender has not had much luck in the realm of video game adaptations despite being such a great fit for it. The best-known game, 2007’s Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Burning Earth, is only really known for being incredibly easy to get 1,000 Achievement points.
What helps the game is its format — essentially a retelling of the key parts of The Last Airbender’s story. Stages aren’t too long — you solve a few puzzles, see a few familiar faces, and then generally face off against a boss fight. It’s quick, it’s snappy, and it delivers blasts of nostalgia. While the gameplay isn’t anything great, getting to see some of your favorite storylines play out in quick succession is still enjoyable.
Combat gets better as the game goes on, as you can unlock additional skills for each of the game’s nine characters. However, it never gets particularly fulfilling. Nothing about the combat is fluid, and locking onto foes feels a bit clunkier than it should. Boss fights fare a bit better, as they usually incorporate some light puzzle solving, but there still isn’t much to write home about.
The puzzles found throughout the game’s 18 chapters are definitely the highlight. There are some genuinely solid puzzles throughout that force players to maneuver multiple characters — or work together with a friend in the game’s local co-op play — and interact with objects using multiple bending techniques. These can actually get tricky, which might frustrate the younger players the game is seemingly targeting, but make it a solid enough game for a kid and parent to play together.
