    Many reviewers are giving this game 3/10 or 4/10. But these scores are not deserved. They compare this game to Bayonetta 2 or the Batman games and, of course in comparison this game can not hold up against them. But you also have to look at the price and production costs. While the others are sold for 60$, Korra only costs 15$. You should not expect a game like Bayonetta. But theMany reviewers are giving this game 3/10 or 4/10. But these scores are not deserved.

While the others are sold for 60$, Korra only costs 15$. You should not expect a game like Bayonetta. But the trademarks of platinum games are still there: great fighting system, fair difficulty even if some reviewers said it is unfair. I played it on normal and extrem and it is always fair and challenging. The story could be better but I did not expect a great story for a 15$ game. The graphics are solid and for some parts very good. But here you can also see the missing budget, mostly in the environment, which looks for some parts bad even though it is very linear. The story can be completed in about 5 hours on normal. And even a few hours more on extreme, depending on how good you are. In these five hours you experience a good sense of progress. You unlock all four elements over time and you can level up each element by themselves. Through this you unlock new combos which male the fights even more interesting. In them you can change the elements at any time. Each element has other functions: earth for slow and strong attacks, fire is very quick, water is for longer ranges and air is more for bigger groups of enemies. Every element is useful and fun to play. The game also has running sequences with Naga which are basically an endless runner( a fun one though). After completing the game for the first time you unlock pro-bending. It is not more than a fun and challenging mini game, but I return to it over and over again. All aspects of game make fun but you can feel that the game could have been much better with more budget for platinum games. But it DOES NOT DESERVE THESE BAD REVIEWS. Maybe the game does not deserve a 10/10 but looking at all these negative reviews that make no sense I had to give it that score. It is more a 8/10 for fans of the show and a 7/10 for non show viewers. I hope that enough people buy this game, so Activision sees that there is a demand for games of this franchise and that they will give platinum more money freedom and time to produce a AAA-game for 60$. So please if you like fighting games: GO OUT THERE AND BUY THIS GAME: Expand

    I think a lot of reviews on this game are a bit undeserving to a degree. The game costs about $15, and is definitely *not* a AAA-type title, nor really intended to be. It's a fairly quick game, but there's enough depth/repetition available to make it interesting.

    If you're a fan of the series, I think you'll like the game. If you don't know much about Korra, then you may have a very different outlook of this game. I will say that the game is really a challenge, overall. The nice thing about the challenge is that being able to try again isn't really hard as the checkpoints come quite quickly, and the levels aren't very big. You can get through this game, in one playthrough, in a few hours or so max. Just be prepared to be frustrated at times.

    The naga racing bit is one of my more enjoyable parts of this game. It very much reminds me of the battle toads race. While incredibly difficult at times, it's very rewarding to go through. Unlike battle toads, you don't die immediately hitting stuff but there is an achievement for not hitting an obstacle.

    I think this'll be the first game I actually get to 100% on in terms of trophies. I'm enjoying the game that much.

    Solid beat-em-up from Platinum, you can definitely feel their footprint on this. I'm having a great time, but don't expect this to have the same level of writing as the series.

    That isn't good game, but not bad either. Story is pretty linear, game is short, but fights are challenging and fun. Bending could use more combo's. Some "Naga-running" sequences are way too hard.

    I've seen a couple of reviews from critics bagging on this game, but so far I'm really enjoying it. I saw one review ask who this game is for? Well it's for me. I'm the perfect demographic for this. I mean it’s not the longest game, but it's not a full AAA action game. It's a minor release from a smaller studio who make pretty fun action games and this definitely fits the bill.I've seen a couple of reviews from critics bagging on this game, but so far I'm really enjoying it.

It's a minor release from a smaller studio who make pretty fun action games and this definitely fits the bill.

    Gameplay: The bending is awesome and makes me feel powerful which is exactly what I wanted from an Avatar game. The combos are simple, but the complexity comes from mixing the different styles of bending which each have their own effects and feel, not from a million button combos.

    Story & Presentation: The story is okay, not amazing but it's serviceable and has a lot of nods to fans of the series. Plus the animated cut scenes help set the mood. The graphics are good, the levels themselves are a little bland, but the cell-shaded style fit the world perfectly. Now the bending animations themselves are gorgeous, and all the different bending styles have subtle visual cues. Also the music is great and matches the series.

    Overall: This game isn't breaking any new ground, but if you're a fan of the animated series you'll likely have a good time feeling like a bending master.

    El juego es bastante bueno y divertido, pero carece de historia y desarrollo de personaje, además de ser algo corto, alrededor de 4 horas en la dificultad normal. La dificultad es bastante buena, si no haces las cosas bien entonces la tendrás difícil.
    Es un 8 bien merecido, el único fallo que le encuentro es el guión, pero por el precio y la diversión es fácil ignorar ese detalle.

    The games new so I need to give it some more time before being certain about my opinions here but first impression is that its a pretty flawed game, but still probably a good time to lok fans. The controllers feel a bit wonky from time to time and there's odd camera screw ups I've run into There's still certainly some fun to be had here though.

It can be quite fun to button mash your way through waves of identical enemies with Korra's powers. However irritating segments rear their ugly heads far too often, and the real fun only begins on your second playthrough after you've unlocked all of your powers. As a result PlatinumGames Korra can be pretty entertaining, but ultimately lackluster.

    Fans hoping for a great original story are going to be disappointed as the game doesn't really have one at all. Those gorgeous cutscenes made to look exactly like the show don't really have much going on in them. They basically just tell you that Korra has her bending powers stolen by some guy and that she has to get them back. That's a set up, not a real plot. Unfortunately that's really all the game has in this department. At least the voice actors from the show are present.

    The in-game graphics are just as gorgeous as the animated cutscenes. It really is a pretty game to look at. The soundtrack is also pretty great, with melodies being pulled straight from the show. As far as fanservice in the presentation goes, it all looks and sounds really good. There just isn't much substance backing it up.

    The gameplay fares a bit better. This is PlatinumGames after all, so the combat system is quite solid. They also did a good job of making each power feel worthwhile in any given situation. However they couldn't quite nail the combat encounters. Fights can range from entertaining, but dull to straight up frustrating. The game's attempts at boss battles are pretty poor in a lackluster sort of way.

    Platinum threw in some infinite-runner like sections to mix things up. They are brief and turned out better than one might expect. However they aren't going to be everyone's cup of tea. Especially in one poorly thought out segment where they tried to include combat. It stands out as one of the game's more tedious moments.

    Replaying the game again with all of your powers unlocked and having them fairly leveled up is much more entertaining. You have more variety in your approach and more power backing yourself up. It still doesn't overcome the occasionally poorly designed encounters, but it at least allows you to see all the game has to offer and unlock everything. After you finish the pretty brief campaign there is the Pro-Bending mode that unlocks. It's just like it is on the show and is pretty entertaining as well. However it's about on the same level as the main game.

    PlatinumGames has delivered another solid combat system. However this time it's screaming out to be put in a better game. It's a hollow bit of fanservice for followers of the show and an uneven action game. As a result it's a decent, but unsatisfying action game that feels a tad overpriced. It still provides moments of fun, but it's not hard to wish you were playing bigger, better action games over the course of it's eight level run. It certainly doesn't live up to Platinum's more legendary and celebrated titles and falls short in just about every category. There are plenty of worse options out there and fans of the show might still get a kick out of playing as Korra. Just don't expect to be completely satisfied or entirely entertained with Platinum's surprisingly uneven game.

    I played this on casual since I don’t play many action games. It wasn’t easy: I had to replay boss battles two or three times, and one section near the end of the game took me nine tries to complete-but I was compelled to keep playing, because although combat isn’t very deep-though it becomes significantly more complex when you unlock all 4 elements-it’s a lot of fun.

I plan on replaying the story on normal and extreme mode, so I’m anticipating this game will give me roughly 14 hours, which is well worth the price of admission.

    The story isn’t great, but if you’re willing to play Destiny you shouldn’t let a mediocre story stop you from enjoying a fun time. The cutscenes aren’t identical to the show’s style, but they look quite nice and serve as good transitions from one area to the next. Each element has a different flavor-earth is slow and powerful, fire is quick and close, air is best for crowd control, and water is best for distance. Each of the elements’ animations are very well done and stringing together combos involving all four elements is both rewarding and fun to watch. There isn’t a lot of enemy variety, but I don’t consider this such a bad thing-with the exception of mechas, it’s more about timing than strategy, which is fine in a game like this. The running levels with Naga are a good injection of variety.

    This game isn’t without flaws, however. As mentioned previously, the story isn’t very good: a one-note villain who mostly pays people to fight for him; the game eventually leads to a disappointing showdown. Levels are generally not very detailed, with the exception of the South Pole, where the snow effects look great. I didn’t find pro-bending entertaining. There are not any sound options or the option to add subtitles to cutscenes. Graphics, while not ugly, are not impressive. Compared to Infamous: First Light (also $15) which boasts story mode, PvE, and free roam in a large world, there isn’t much to do in this game.

    This game has its flaws. However, what it does it does well. While it’s not Bayonetta and doesn’t have a lot of content, it does well capturing the feel of bending, and provides a lot of fun. It doesn’t have the storytelling characteristic of the Avatar universe, but it’s a good, fun game with some replayability, and is definitely worth the cost.

    the game has its good points, being the bending looks cool and it somewhat kinda follows the story, or makes an attempt to nod at it. but god damn is it hard. it's too hard, even in casual, to beat some fights without retrying 100 times. it's ok but.. i wish they had put more time and obviously money into it.

    Legend of Korra is, in many ways, the barest bones of what Platinum is able to use their game mechanics and engines to create, and I feel that truly says a larger amount about the company's skills than people give this game credit for. Is it as long or grand or giant as any of their 60 dollar titles?

Is it as long or grand or giant as any of their 60 dollar titles? You miss the point of this being a digital only released 15 dollar game if you find yourself asking that question, or expecting there to be an answer.

    Story wise this takes place in the gap between Seasons 2 and 3 of Legend of Korra, and follows a string of conflicts that pits her against remains of chi-blockers, the Triad bender gangs, giant robot suits, and angry dark spirits. All while re-unlocking, in rather video gamey ways, her various bending skills as the story progresses, with spiritual guidance from one of the few other people who seem aware that anything is happening. All this is appears to be tied, directly, to the portals to the spirit world having remained open after the events of Book 2. And it all ends, with a knock out, drag out boss fight against a rather bizarre looking creature that makes use double check what we had seen earlier in the game.

    Gameplay wise, while it's the basics as one would expect from a Platinum game, high combos, importance of dodging, and a system build on punishing the enemies when you read their attacks right, and multiple styles of combat to choose from. And you'd think, 'oh well bending's been blocked so, until one of them is unlocked what I have to run?' Nope, despite not being able to bend, she is still a martial artist. That I feel is one of my favorite aspects of this game, that even without the bending, you still have combat options for those styles. Even when it's simple combat, stemming from traditional martial arts, the styles are diverse and different enough to each feel needed. And when the actual bending is added to the fighting literal range added to each style, both cause of the combo tree expanding and because from that point a lot of moves end up with projectiles added to the moves.

    While the importance of the combat, even to this base level, I feel helps to show how well Platinum Star's game engine could work in a heap of other titles, that's not to say everything in the game feels great... The Naga run sections, while they help to better pace the game, just feel like they could just as easily not been in the game. Despite effecting your time and grabbing some extra points, there is no punishment or reward for playing it better or well. You get through it, don't mess up too often, and poof you're at the end good for you. One alternative to this is a moment of combat during a Naga run segment, which makes us of the tricks you learned during the normal parts against enemies, however the fight itself felt flat and uninspired.

    Then of course there's the 'feeling' of the game world. Personally, I have to give this game a lot of extra points for having a character who comments on what you're actually doing. From the expected 'nope can't break that wall till I get X bending back' to story progression 'I still have my fists' lines, to really unexpected but cute 'Oh man, that pot looked expensive >

The enemies and bosses are all recycled, the camera is worthless, and the amount of difficulty spikes makes this seem rushed. The game has a lot of potential, the combat looks cool and I really liked the naga racing, but the terrible design choices make this game mediocre.

    Sure, Platinum has made flawed games before, but nothing nearly so bland or as uninspiring as this. [Christmas 2014, p.120]
