Push Square has published a mini review of Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game for PS5, calling it the first genuinely promising video game adaptation of the Avatar: The Last Airbender franchise. Designed by Mike Zaimont, known for Skullgirls, the hand-animated one-on-one fighter offers a surprisingly technical Street Fighter-style gameplay system built around character-specific "Flow" abilities, giving it real long-term potential. However, the reviewer found the experience held back by weak tutorials, a lack of difficulty settings and no ranked online mode, making it hard to recommend fully in its current state.

The game includes 12 characters, each with distinct movement-based Flow abilities, and uses a DDR-style minigame in character trials to teach button inputs, though this system doesn't cover the basics well. Visually, the reviewer praised the outstanding animation and detailed backgrounds, and noted the game's low price of $29.99/£24.99 helps offset its rough edges. Developer Paramount Games has promised ongoing support, with the reviewer calling for difficulty modes, a ranked mode and better tutorials before the game can appeal beyond its most dedicated fans.
