- The world of Avatar is so rich and interesting, which makes the thought that somewhere out there someone may try this game as an entry point into the series actually distressing. If you're reading this we just want you to know that this game does not represent what Avatar is, watch the first series of The Last Airbender, for the love of Aang. And to the rest of you: do not buy or play this.
Tamoor Hussain · Nov 12, 2014 Reviewed on PC, PS4, XB1, PS3, X360 - The Legend of Korra should have been great. A $15 title crafted by the team at Platinum with a solid art style, and built on a solid foundation. It is none of these things. In fact all I wanted to do while playing through it was go back to Bayonetta 2. There simply isn’t anything here to interest fans of the show, fans of good combat games, or even budget gamers looking for a solid downloadable title for their new consoles.
Ken McKown · Oct 31, 2014 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - The Legend of Korra is a game that lovers of the show series will appreciate, but not go crazy over. It leaves much to be desired, but does a good job being a button mashing game with high replay value for those that care to play it. This generation of gaming has seen much more well-rounded games for ones of this type, and this title can be skipped over with no big loss.
Dyani Wood · Oct 31, 2014 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - The Legend of Korra is a great TV series that is ripe for a strong video game adaptation, and Platinum has laid the groundwork for an interesting combat experience. However, missteps in balancing, combat timing, and level design add up quickly, and even Korra’s sassy quips can’t pull the game back from the brink. I’d love to be able to recommend Korra to fellow fans, but Platinum Games has missed the mark this time.
Matt Miller · Oct 29, 2014 Reviewed on PS4 - The Legend of Korra very much fits our traditional expectations of licensed games, or at least the expectations we had before games like Batman: Arkham Asylum showed what can be done with loving care. It has glimmers of smart ideas, and the developer could have been a perfect fit, but it just doesn't live up to its potential. It feels rushed and dull, and the show deserves better.
Steve Watts · Oct 29, 2014 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - While The Legend of Korra can be an entertaining game, camera issues and often frustrating difficulty spikes mean that the release never reaches the potential of its brilliant source material. For fans of the series, the four to six hour completion time coupled with good replay value will make the cheaper price tag worth a shot. For everyone else, though, this is a sometimes enjoyable but largely forgettable action romp.
Thomas Say · Oct 28, 2014 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - I wanted so badly to love Korra because I enjoy the series and the mythos behind it. I was hoping this would be the game to really make me feel like a powerful Avatar, but it just came off as a clumsy and lacking the heart of the show. It feels like such an empty experience because you don’t get to interact with the series’ wide cast of characters or really explore any of the beautiful locations in the show.
John Llewellyn Martin · Oct 28, 2014 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - The Legend of Korra cuts corners in pretty much every way possible. The basics for interesting combat are there, they just need to be polished and have more variety. The visuals are neat in some areas, but again, need the final touches (as well as more original content unique to the game). The music is great, but taken from preexisting assets. And the story, the story just rehashes much of what we have all seen in many different forms in the past, including The Legend of Korra television show.
Andrew Otton · Oct 26, 2014 Reviewed onRead full review - ...The Legend of Korra was a short but satisfying trip into a world I love hearing stories about, well worth the appealing $15/£12 price. However, if I weren’t already engaged in the story, the flat, repetitive levels and lackluster attempt to explain the game’s world would be much harder to overlook. All this, combined with its port being functional but extraordinarily limited, make the PC version of The Legend of Korra is an amusing but disappointing experience.
Tom Marks · Oct 24, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - They're ultimately not deal breakers, though. For all of those niggling issues, fighting as Korra is still exciting and satisfying, even when her air abilities become almost game-breakingly powerful in the final stages. ...Platinum Games may not have made a Legend of Korra game that plumbs the same well of soul that the source material does, but they've made something elementally entertaining all the same.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
The Legend of Korra is a single player, action-packed brawler, in which Korra’s mastery of martial arts and the four elements – fire, earth, air, and water – can be used on the fly to bolster her combos and counters against foes. Throughout the game, Korra’s polar bear-dog, Naga, will aid her in high-speed traversal segments. The game also brings to life the series’ competitive sport, Pro-Bending, in which teams of three use the elements to fight for territory in an arena.
Developer: Platinum Games
