Pros
+Combat is fun with all the Chi, bending, skills, counters, etc.
+Faithful to the cartoon series as far as what is shown in the game
+Multiple difficulty modes
+Can revisit levels to travel to paths that you could not before unless you progress through the game
Cons
-Storyline lacks soul, very boring and pointless when compared to the cartoon's story
-More than half of the main characters do not make an appearance at all but are mentioned only
-Enemy characters are bland and there are multiples via different colors of the same enemy
-Boss battles are repetitive and can be more annoying than anything
-Naga levels feel like a chore and are a unnecessary addition to the game
-Main villains feel like they should be a one episode side story villain than anything major
-Battles at later in the game feel like they are endless and a chore
-If you use a item and then leave a stage without finishing it, despite the game telling you unsaved progress will not be saved, you still lose items and lose anything you gained in a level
-Game is very short - some levels are a few min however one or two stages are super long
-Costume variety for Korra is poor
