    Yes there are a lot of reviews out there that have given this game a not so stellar review but as a consumer we have to become more critical of those reviewers which most of us have grown to love and that is to see if perhaps this game may not be for them or had to high of expectations.

    The core aspect of the game is without a doubt entirely a fun ride all together though you have to ask yourself what you are looking for from Anthem. If you do not mind grinding endlessly with more of a focus on the abilities for loot then perhaps this game may be for you. People express that the grind is to much for less than stellar rewards well got a news article for you for pretty much every game like WoW, Destiny 2, Division to name a few all have grinding aspects to their game which at times to some people may not be as stellar as the next person.

    Connection problems are a bane for most online games at their inception and some companies tend to have better luck in regards to expecting it. The whole aspect is that with a release there are multiple variations of computer equipment as well as programs running that may interfere with the service you are getting though last time I heard they are continuously releasing patches as well as addressing them with their best solution they can make. I at times get the sound bug but that does not halt my enjoyment of the game though yes it is a bit of a nuisance to me to have to restart but it is usually quick for me to get back into the swing of things. Sometimes when I go do something in particular I drop like in a mission but the good thing is that when I relaunch and as long as that mission is in progress I can rejoin or perhaps it is ended so I just have to launch another mission and all the loot I acquired is still there saved.

    All in all I am having fun and I do recommend this game for to me I have gotten my money's worth out of the game and the good news is that if I need to take a break due to a new game coming out that I want to play I can always return and be able to be right next to my friends for the future DLCs are all free as they say but time will tell.    … Expand

    However, it's been a ton of fun to play. The actual gameplay mechanics are very well done and the world is bloody beautiful. Combat is pretty fun if a little simplistic. I think there's a solid foundation for a really fun game, provided EA keeps their promise of an evolving world & future content, Bioware works to improve the experience a bit, and we're a little patient.

    In general I think we're so spoiled by mature games that have had years to iron things out that we forget that the launches are normally rocky and it takes time to get everything in shape. If the idea of a squad based shooter appeals to you, I'd say give it a try. If you come in with an open mind, you'll find it to be a fun experience.    … Expand

    Anthem is just the only video game that made me feel so thrilled with a gameplay that is really sublime, clearly if you are a fan of Iron Man and SF this game is for you.

    The game puts us in control of a combat armor on vitamins in a hostile region your goal and reduce to crumbs threats that hover over your city "Fort Tarsis"
    on the border of your civilization.

    The universe is rich, you could discover it by are written in many codices or through various discussions with NPCs.
    These discussions may be interesting but it tends to slow down the pace of your adventures to see if you want to know the last gossip of Fort Tarsis.

    CONS:
    - The game lacks optimization on the use of your PC's resources
    - Currently in exploration / Libre mode the content is somewhat boring but it should be improved through the different updates scheduled in ROAD MAP 2019
    - An improvement of the menu and various functionality of the multiplayer is necessary to make the game more fluid
    - A poor in-game store
    - More End game content through the dungeons (after I do not want to throw the stone on them because a majority comes to this contented with a destiny ...)

    PROS:
    - A huge graphic customization of the armor
    - A gameplay in the action phase very well thinking and really thrilling notice to the WARFRAME fan
    - An open world that holds the road (ff15 and warframe if you hear me)
    - A lore really very push and interesting to discover through anecdote and other history that make us discover a dangerous world
    - A roadmap that starts a week after the release of the game here looks really good, and it ensures content until the end of the year

    The reviews are also negative I think because the bioware fan expects a massfect while bioware to announce a warframe in the open world.

    It really meets the expectations of players who want a good action game sf.

    It's rare that I'm happy with a day one game, but I was able to play all the armor and they all have their charm that allows you to have a really colorful fight.

    I hope that my criticism will enlighten you on a game that deserves to be discovered.

    Sincerely,

    Wolf Hunt's

    P.S: I wanted to put 10 but we can always improve and even if I fell in love with the game I'm not blind so far.    … Expand

    Let me start of by saying, this is not your typical BioWare game. The story is short and the characters (not main plot ones) are lackluster and the dialogue choices not that consequential. But it does have some redeeming qualities that makes this a good game. I want to point out that I went into this game to give it a chance with every expectation of absolutely hating it.

    The facial animations are excellent and the gameplay is AWESOME! The customization of the javelins are excellent and I had a lot of fun with this game. The story leaves some to be desired and the missions are repetitive, but since they already have future updates planned (already late march) I don't worry about this. There are some bugs, but nothing out of the ordinary with a game like this within the first week of launch. We can all claim it shouldn't have any issues, but we need to be realistic about this.

    This game is honestly worth a try and if BioWare is given useful feedback Anthem has the potential of being a great game!    … Expand

    Anthem is so much more than a Loot grabbing Shooter but not quite a full fledged RPG. But that's Ok.

Bugs aside, this game is really fun and engrossing if You as a gamer dont making a very fundamental mistake of comparing it to either a traditional online shooter or an Epic Bioware RPG masterpiece like Mass effect. Why? Because it is in a sub genre of its own. Being from Bioware, Everyone expects it to have a really deep and enriching story with branching dialogue and character decision Consequences that affect each and every aspect of the game. But doing that would not be sustainable or realistically possible for an online multiplayer co-op shooter as the game would have to track each and every branching decision You make and try to matchmake with people who have made the exact decisions or at-least decisions that, for the moment at-least, are aligned with your story line. And if You keep in mind that traditional branching story lines have thousands of possibilities and combinations, It would only add more load on the server, more work for the Ai, more load times(Yes, I know the current load times are also just a bit long). Not to mention the game size would also increase, there would have to be more updates to accommodate the continuing branching story if You are looking at it from an RPG perspective.
    If You look at it unbiased, as what it is, An Online shooter with basic level rpg elements to give the story a sense of direction and continuity, You will have fun and really appreciate the game.
    The Story, while not an Epic like Mass effect, is just interesting enough to keep You going. It makes more sense if You pay attention to and read up on the Lore, the tit bits of information You get from NPC's and the world itself.
    The gameplay is fun, People have compared it to flying around like Iron man and It is. The shooter mechanics are also fun and really well made. Some people have called it repetitive but guess what all shooters are. Infact every game You take, whether shooter or Hack and slash, Especially an MMO, at the end of the day, You are running around either shooting or hacking and collecting loot. There's no different way to shoot but with Anthem Atleast, You can hover in the air and shoot, Play as storm and unleash Awesome Lightning strikes and do so much more.
    Visually, this is stunning and plays so smooth. You need to experience this first hand to know how visually exciting the game world is.
    Another Good thing is that Bioware have not been greedy like other devs who try to charge for everything. Note I have Not mentioned EA here as EA traditionally try to squeeze every penny from players. IN ANthem, surprisingly EA have acted a bit Civilized . In Anthem, All guns and essential items can be unlocked through progression. The only micro-transactions are focused on cosmetics like buy exotic paints or skins for your javelin. And buying exotic crafting materials.
    Now coming to the Issues, Bugs, This is something that Bioware need to address. The HDR on pc looks dull and washed out. Switching HDR off really makes the game look beautiful. So if Bioware fix the HDR, just imagine how much better the game would look.
    Reduced Load screens, Voice chat and server stability are other things that need to be addressed. The game however is just launched and future patches should address this.
    If You decide to give this a try, go into the game free from anybody's opinions and specially free from your own bias, then You will have fun. Remember, this is not an RPG but it is definitely better than an MMO    … Expand

    If you're coming in to Anthem for a fully complete, comprehensive story, then you'll be disappointed. There are threads of a story here, and it's very much like the first episode or two of a television series. You get just enough to make you curious, but not enough to satisfy.

    If you're coming into Anthem for a third-person shooter with some pretty decent mechanics, then you'll have fun. In this case it's like Destiny, where you could blast through the story, then not have much to do until the next set of content came out. You would still run through the EDZ, or the old Cosmodrome, gathering materials to make yourself stronger. End game Anthem is much the same way.    … Expand

    I Honestly think that this game is getting a bad rap for the sake of it, while critique is important, equally as important is balance. it seems to be a common theme that reviewers zone in one one or two weak points on launch day and shoot to kill, without taking in to account any of the positives. any of the potential or giving the developer a chance to correct any issues. Many reviewsI Honestly think that this game is getting a bad rap for the sake of it, while critique is important, equally as important is balance. it seems to be a common theme that reviewers zone in one one or two weak points on launch day and shoot to kill, without taking in to account any of the positives. any of the potential or giving the developer a chance to correct any issues. Many reviews that i have read on this title mention the beautiful environment, but dont give it much more credit than that.

    See Bioware have gone out in a completely different direction with this game way out of their comfort zone and have and gone for a loot shooter with a twist. this is not their usual format and i think that should count for something. Sure the game has a few issues (none of which i would consider to be deal breakers) such as the loot requiring tweaks (now patched), one or two balance issues, and widening the mission variety a little more.

    After around 20 hours play, i have found the following.

    Characters are well designed and movement is fluid, battle mechanics are done well with no awkward judder or restrictive movement. however weapons sometimes feel a little under powered compared to the enemies that i am facing,
    Flight mechanics work well and are responsive, and the customization options add a nice touch to your character.

    The main story in the game is interesting and provides the immersion that i am used to receiving from Bioware titles, and plenty of spin off story arcs as well as in game lore exist which is another staple of Bioware Games.

    from a performance perspective this game appears to be well optimized, i obtain 70-80fps consistently on ultra quality at 4k which given the levels of detail in the game is outstanding.

    Finishing up, i see real promise in this title, if you have not yet played the game due to launch day reviews, i urge you to give it a try, it really is not as bad as the launch day reviews would have you believe, it does have a few niggles, but certainly no more than any other AAA game that releases these days and i would add that the niggles are far fewer than most titles that have launched in the last 12 months.

    if you try it and like it, come back here and leave your own thoughts for others to read, and lets make sure that BioWare are given the credit that they deserve so that they can continue to make great games for years to come.    … Expand

They have been banned and then scammed the game and produced "feel-sorry-for-me" videos. Take the punishment and shut the *** up b***s!!
    I've met no other problems what so ever and just had fun man.

    + Graphic is excellent but you have to have a potent PC
    + The sound really good and add to the story
    + The Music is OK
    + The story line is a little bit confusing first but give it some time just like The Elder Scroll
    + The combat system is very good
    + Easy to handle the gear
    + Very easy to "get started"
    + The environment - how cool isn't the environment
    + Choose between missions and free-play
    + Go by your self or with others which are more rewarding

    The gameplay is FUN, it is easy, the learning curve is not long and hard. And the element of flying and hovering during the action is just very well done.
    The story is weak I have to admit, missions are repetitive (I still enjoy it after 20 hours in game), the dialogues are somewhat weird, the plot is not really there. But I wouldn't say it is such a bad thing, it's just a minor - for me because in this game gameplay is more important to me. It's not a witcher or MassEffect storywise.
    Loading screens are reasonable now after the patches I think, it's not too long although I'm using a fast SSD (which everyone should in 2019).
    I've encountered almost no bugs at all so it seems to be better as well in this department.
    To wrap it up, I think it is a great game for the price you can have it right now, not for the original price. It isn't perfect but it definitely is FUN and gorgeous to look at!    … Expand

    The game is another great looter shooter that I really enjoyed. It has a story that kept me interested in between gameplay sections. The gameplay is great just like destiny and borderlands so it kept hooked all the way through. The game runs good on my pc though the game sometimes hitch at times but it was fine for the most part.

    This has come to game pass now so there's probably a lot of people playing it, without buying it. It's an enjoyable, accessible game with a decent plot and fabulous graphics. I do understand that it could really do with some more development and it's a bit jarring that you need to explore it in single-player mode, but the combat is much better played with others so it's an odd combination.This has come to game pass now so there's probably a lot of people playing it, without buying it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I heard the story EA & Bioware Exposed By Kotaku On Anthem, my heart goes out to the common employees who worked on Anthem, the stress that upper management of Bioware and Ea caused!

    I would have rated this a lower score, but flying around covers a lot more area than if you are just walking or running on a map. The game-play of Anthem is sort of based on Iron Man flight power. If you are looking single-player game where you join action random people while playing the game this would be a good game to get especially since you can buy this game for $5.00. This is not co-op friendly game; gameplay is co-op but the other part is you have to go to Fort Tarsis to get a mission and advance your character abilities and that is only in a single player. I did try to play it co-op with my friends but when we were playing Finding Old Friends mission it would crash each time. After I did some investigating, my friends didn’t talk to the right people in Fort Tarsis because of that, their game character abilities didn’t advance correctly. This was the last straw for them, even though they thought this is the best EA co-op adventure game they still thought it pathetic because other gaming companies get their co-op adventure games correct. That being said, Ea should have delayed the game 3 years to get all the bugs worked out of the game.

    The Pros. The graphics in Anthem is amazing. Games coming out now the graphics look better, but back in 2019, I thought graphics is the best I have seen in a game like this. They nailed the feeling of flying a Javelin and each one feels very unique. The game is stable as long you play it alone or playing with a random player in the game. Playing in co-op mode with friends doesn’t work because of the single-player-only mode in Fort Tarsis.

    Negatives about the game. To start with, the game is in the third person, I wish it had a first-person option. In Fort Tarsis town you can explore it by yourself only, every other co-op game except for a few you can be in the same town as your friends. The jungle gameplay experience is cool, but almost every mission is jungle the gameplay gets boring really quick, it does have some cave missions but it's part of the jungle mission. It would have been cool to have missions on different themes like one in caves, volcano, structures in the middle of a lake, a large alien city floating in the middle of the ocean, swamp, desert, winter area, mountain area, Mission lasting too short in-game some only lasting 12 minutes, it should be more like 50 minutes. It has no cross-play. Once you played a mission you should have the option to select that campaign mission and chapter in that mission. Strongholds are cool, there are 4 Strongholds each of them does look unique in the game but they only last 25 minutes each. No real need for Strongholds because mission replay should be enough.

    Final thought. Even though I don’t play it that often anymore when I do, I still see random people joining my game most of the time. if you are looking at the E3 2017 video of Anthem then you will be disappointed, because the game doesn’t look like this. I do think their way too much hate out there for this game, constructive criticism is way more helpful. If you want a single-player game with some multiplayer then that is what Mass Effect is for. After Anthem was out only a short time after release, I heard it made over 100 million dollars and it was the second-best-selling game for Bioware. It was on Xbox Gameplay Chart for some time, which told me that a lot of people liked the game. I think what killed the reboot was all hate out there and they did that to satisfy them. Congratulation because of that, I heard that the new Dragon Age game will no longer have co-op in it.    … Expand

    It is not a single player game. While you can do many missions solo it doesn't mean you will get the same amount of fun as with friends or just random co-op and it is co-op with friends when game really shines.
    Also, it has a pretty descent story for a shooter. I uninstalled Destiny 2 already and no longer plan to buy any additional content for it.

    What I really like:
    - World is AMAZING. I must admit I spent a lot of time in free play searching for secrets and sightseeing opportunities
    - Lore and atmosphere is done great. Especially if you are not skipping dialogues in order to rush the game in 10 hours (sarcasm)
    - Graphics is great and smooth assuming your rig can deliver (yes, game is hardware demanding)
    - Music and sound
    - Looting-shooting-flying-ability spamming
    - Verticality is a great thing! And contrary to popular belief you can (and should) utilize it to your advantage everywhere.
    - This is the first game when flanking and sniping actually matters. I can't play destiny 2 again.
    - No loot boxes, cosmetics can be directly bought with in-game currency, premium currency is for cosmetics only. Looks like BF2 lesson was learned by EA.
    - Free post-launch content. Quality and quantity is unknown, and here is the biggest IF for this game. 8 score is done assuming we will get something descent. 9 or maybe even 10 if we get Forsaken level of quality/quantity and 7 if it will be on Curse of Osiris level.

    I have mixed feelings about:
    - No romance. But after Andromeda and Inquisition maybe it is a good thing
    - Loading screen in Forge, not a big deal but its completely unnecessary
    - There is no item description upon pickup. Instead, rarity shows.
    - Content quantity. But there is not such thing as enough content in a good game :) What I really like like to see is how post-launch support would be done.

    What I didn't like:
    - Nothing

    Some random thoughts:
    It is true that forge and few locations on the world map could be done without loading screens, but saying its everywhere and its a game breaker is way too much.

    As for the tomb quest and multi-kills I am just speechless. Every javelin in the game can do multi-kill easily with their ultimate in certain locations. Reading how people struggle to achieve them is absolutely hilarious.

    I personally like the story and characters. It is totally subjective but I like it way more than Inquisition which is considered to be a great game in terms of story telling. People comparing to KOTOR story probably remember how good it was at launch but forget how flat it is by modern standards (and buggy it was at launch). I completed it recently out of nostalgia and let's say I was sad about how story aged.

    Repetitive... It is a co-op looter shooter, what do you expect? Again, compared to Destiny 2 (or even worse - Warframe) its way less grindy and repetitive. If you think otherwise please return to your forges and gambit, because I am done with them.    … Expand

Playing alone is just that lonely, and when you get randoms that don't have microphones, it can throw you out, but if you stick to playing with your friends, the coop experience is wonderful ! and it gives you a sense of teamwork.

    Where i am excited is what is to come, more content, more missions, more javalins and weapons. There is so much potential to this game, i definitly hope to see the universe expanded and what BioWare can do. I think it might not be for everyone out there, but for the fans who actually like it, they will have a following.

    Its WarFrame and Diablo had a baby, destinys baby brother... Grinding, get better loot, rinse, repeat, with hopfully some amazing story content to follow up. Its not that the current content wasn't good, it can just get a tad bit boring at times, and i found myself hitting escape/skip lots.

    I think the decision to keep the story portion of the game to one little town is what gets me thrown off, if they had a progressive movement on the story and it took you to different parts of the world or even multiple towns to travel between, might have been a better approach. either way ... i give it a solid 8/10

Flight in the javelins is a lot of fun. The flight and hover mechanics are solid and the controls are VERY well done.

    I waited until I could get it on sale and at half-price or less the game is well worth the purchase as it currently is. I just hope they don't walk away like they did with Andromeda and break their promises to continue creating for Anthem. If they do, it will likely be the last EA game I ever buy until years after release so I know what I am getting and not counting on them actually following through on any promises they may otherwise make. They've shown several times already their promises are flimsy at best. Should they prove their promises to in fact be lies, no player should ever trust their word again. They'll destroy what little credibility they may have left and that nobody should buy any games from them based upon future promised features.

    P.S. I do have to question the number of reviews here by people who say they've played for 40, 50 or even up to 200+ hours but then give a score of 0 to 4 or 5. WTH?

    I have only played one of the classes yet (colossus) what is a tanky type "frame" and I am not interested the rest yet because Its so much fun. Rushing through dozens of enemies killing them with bare physics running over them and knocking them down like a real tank than launch a huge fire combo on them is a blast.

    There is six difficulty level easy,normal,hard, than you can unlock other three at lvl30 master I,II,III.
    I don't like easy games but I have to play it on normal because it was already enough a chalange I just imagine how hard it Will be to play the master levels.

    Flying around feels very good and World looks absolutely beautiful and very detailed the sci-fi vibe is strong. The artist who worked on the World did a pretty good job I think. Birds flying around you
    and other wildlife roaming on the ground while the trees and flowers bend by the forces of the strorm or breeze while you flying through canyons and ruins of the ancient civilization.

    Although its not a real old style bioware single player game I found the story and the lore interesting and there are also a lot of conversation with a few choice to direct the outcome of the story of some of the character at your home town (its the single player hub of the game) and this time they it feels they really put a lot of time in these to make its quality as good as possible so it can't be criticized as much Andromeda. The town also changing through your gameplay in an "immersive way".

    The performance is great with my GTX980 4GB and Ryzen 2600x 16GB. I put everything ultra except textures High and lighting High but with HBAO+ Full. and its rarely drops below 50. It mostly feels a stable 60-70fps and I think thats pretty good from this hardware.

    I can understad some of the low scores here but I have seen a lot of non deserved negative critic also. Like the lowest score "professional reviewer" mentioned there are not enough cosmetic option and most locked behind a paywall. I thought ... What??? After about 15hour gameplay I had enough currency to unlock the ecic skin set and about four rare set but I did not because I found the color customusation more than enough for now. There are at least 7 layer and about 30 different textures and colors to customize these layers there are vinyls etc. the general customoization is actually pretty good and you can unlock new ones every day by buying it from ingame currency from the ingame store (rare color 3k, epic vinyl 20k) I have about 130k credit after43 hour but you can earn about 1-3k credit or more within an hour after 20lvl+. Btw why worry about Cosmetics and that its not easy to unlock when the combat is the fun part? Or maybe not. I guess you eaither like the gameplay and its challenges enough or not thats all.

    Also I have seen the complaint of repetitiveness. sure after about 40-50 hour when you have almost seen everything and finish the main story you can start to feel the repetitiveness but it was ever the same with many looting shooting game. Warframe for example ... I have played that game for about 1000 hour its combat and areas much more repetitive than Anthem still hundreds of thousands play it and enjoy it. Yes its "free" go figure. :D What about games like Diablo with its 3-4 act same repetitiveness . Millions loved it..... Why? Because its gameplay. Repetitiveness is not an issue unless the gamplay is fun and with Anthem I think its there and it Will be even better with its expansive World and new challenges and things to unlock in the future what is planned.

    Don't belive the hate and the low scores just by a "Premium Access" and try it out yoursefl like I did. Even If I would stop playing it now I got more than enough from my 15 bucks what I could get with any new game out there. 43hour fun for 15 is not a bad deal I think. I guess I Will buy the full game sooner or later in the future.    … Expand

    I've played Destiny (not the sequel) and the Division and honestly Anthem is what I wanted them to be. There's a lot of world building, your character is fully voiced (with options to choose from) and the game play is great with a lot of options for combat and customization. Additionally, the world you play in is large and well developed and they weren't lying when they emphasized verticality. It really adds to the game play and even just getting from point A to B is fun.

    I'm actually not the biggest fan of Shooter Looters, one of my gripes is that the enemies that are bullet sponges just don't make sense, but they do in Anthem. The foes that take a lot of damage to kill make sense. They're either heavily armored units or huge vehicles and titans, and I'm not questioning why they take so much damage. Additionally, there's actually variety to game play. Yes, most quests are excuses to get from point A to B to shoot a variety of enemies, but there's also puzzles and other quests. Something you don't see a lot in Shooter Looters.

    Also, yes there's micro-transactions and they charge more than they should, but anything you can buy with money you can buy using coin you earn in game. Also, just the beginning armor is awesome.

    If you have some principled distaste for Shooter Looters and Games as a Service then sure, stray away from this, but it's actually a good game and I don't want it to die an early death because of people preexisting prejudices.    … Expand

    Having a blast and it looks like they have a lot of plans to keep expanding the game, with new strongholds, missions, and stories. Just because its ea does not mean its always crap. Are there things i want done right now? Yes but name one game that is perfect on launch. Hope it get the chance with players it deserves.

    Once again there are so many people who were ready to jump onto BioWare's next game and rip it to shreds without actually having played it, or knowing much about it.

    I will start by saying yes there are issues like bugs, and for many people there are annoying loading times, especially those still using old computers, but BioWare already issued a day 1 patch that began to address many of    Once again there are so many people who were ready to jump onto BioWare's next game and rip it to shreds without actually having played it, or knowing much about it.

    I will start by saying yes there are issues like bugs, and for many people there are annoying loading times, especially those still using old computers, but BioWare already issued a day 1 patch that began to address many of these issues, and appear to be moving very quickly in response to criticism about the state of the game and any gamer knows these kinds of things are always present at the launch of new games, and are, in most cases, addressed pretty fast so my review will mostly be about the gameplay, story, and core game itself.

    First I will start with where Anthem shines,

    Combat: The combat is my favorite part of Anthem, it's fast paced, action combat that works fluidly with the flight mechanics, performing combos, dodging things flying at you in the air (or ground and leaping up like Ironman) is extremely fun and well designed. When I first tested the game i was nervous about these mechanics because they were a fair bit more awkward than they are now.

    Flight: This is what I was most nervous about with Anthem because when I tested the game earlier on I found the flight mechanics to be nothing short of a nightmare as they were clunky, awkward, and I was literally running into mountains and trees over and over. However, BioWare did an excellent job addressing the flight mechanics between then and launch, as I do not have that problem any longer and flying around the game has been a great deal of fun, again it works fluidly with combat, and has become a much more natural feeling mechanic.

    Story: The story is surprisingly good, I won't get too deep into this because I don't want to spoil anything, but I was not hyped for this game (as I really love story driven games, like other BioWare games like Dragon Age and Mass Effect, but also other narrative driven games like the Witcher series, etc) and I did not expect the story for this game to be as good as it turned out to be, in fact if you are a fan of story driven games I think Anthem is worth buying for that alone.

    Graphics: Stunning. Literally nothing else to say about them, this game is gorgeous.

    Fort Tarsis: This is your personal city in the game, and it changes as you progress through the game, I find the potential in this to be exciting as I love games where the world changes based on what I do in the game.

    Customization: This is extremely important to me in online games, and they do not disappoint in Anthem. Customization for your suit is extremely extensive, you can choose literally every piece (torso, hands, legs, helmet, etc) and they provide an extensive dye system where you can even create your own custom colors, as well as different designs (they call them vinyl's) that you can stick onto your suit, you can choose the type of materials you want your suit to be made from (plastic, leather, metal, cloth, with varying texture options as well as wear and tear, etc) I could go on, but it's a lot and I think you would have a great deal of fun with this.

    Shop: The cosmetics shop where you can buy emotes, skins, etc is really well done as there are literally NO pay to win options, and you can get everything in the shop for currency you earn in game, and that currency is not hard or grindy to come by so you don't need to spend any money here unless you don't feel like doing missions to get something you really want from there, if you don't have enough coin.

    The negative aspects of the game (not including bugs as I said before, because virtually every new game has them) are things like the UI.

    User Interface: The UI/User Experience for this game is a bit better than it was during testing, but still pretty bad. This is one of those issues that I hope gets addressed more extensively ASAP. It's not so bad that it doesn't function properly, but it's not very intuitive, there's not even a real proper character sheet unless you go to the Forge to alter/upgrade your suits, and the expedition/mission menu is awkward and clunky. This is my biggest complaint because it is honestly annoying at times, especially when you've spent the last 20 minutes having conversations with all the characters in Fort Tarsis and you want to just jump back into doing missions and playing the game. Having to run back to the forge to be sure you're ready can be kind of annoying.

    There are other things I may revisit this review for later but I have to stop procrastinating and get ready for work now. Overall, the game is very fun, well designed, and the things that aren't can and should be addressed so I'm not overly worried about them. I give the game an 8/10 because I genuinely have been enjoying it far much more than I thought I would (I was not hyped for this game much at all) and I have been pleasantly surprised with how good the game turned out to actually be.    … Expand

    Excellent game with a lot of potential. The combat is fun, the graphics are some of the best I've ever seen, and the narrative is remarkably well done for a looter shooter.

    However there are still quite a few bugs and some UI clunk that can be ironed out.

    I'll give Anthem an 8 for its potential.

Maybe developers decided to not to disappoint any minorities. Surely, game isn't about "it", but co-mon, that's BioWare!
    - Game isn't perfect in technical aspect but I think loading screens will be optimized and a lot of connection problems of demo has been already solved. But that demo was complete fail, I hope EA will never repeat that annoying crap

    So, game left more positive emotions than negative and I cannot understand such hateful comments here. Maybe it's all about whole BioWare reputation but I'm still waiting for Dragon Age 4, I'm sorry, I don't want to dig a cold grave for this studio.    … Expand

    The graphics are amazing. I only encountered some small bugs (the most prominent was when one character was no where to see when you had a dialog with said character).

    I wish that the gear system would be more fun. Its nice how it is now, you can add and swop loads of stuff, but it really feels like they dont make a great impact (lvl 22 atm). In other games, i can sit for ages and go over gear to find the best setup. I hope this feature gets more engaging later on.

You can be easily    This review is based off how much do I look forward to playing and how much fun do I have when I play. If you are having fun - what else matters more? These games are entertainment.

    I look forward to getting into a javelin each day. It is such a great experience in the freedom to fly in a well-armed Iron Man suit. The combat is fluid and enjoy my engagements. You can be easily overwhelmed if you are not always looking out for your flanks. This makes all combat challenging aka fun.

    The big points:
    * The scenery is beautiful. Sometimes I walk rather than fly to get more exposed to it. Witcher 3 upped a further notch.

    * The combat is usually a good time. Last night I was in my storm suit and fought another storm. I was equipped for a ice/lightning combo and had a hard time as I could not get the lightning (strikes ground) to strike the enemy storm. The trick is matching up the ground targeting with air positioning of the enemy storm. This can be easily fixed with a ground to sky target or maybe I just need to spend more time in the suit...

    * Strongholds are immersive and have solid loot. They have width and depth and very good design. Can take some getting used to but it sure does add and a nice dynamic. Definitely challenging. As usual, a squad with prior experience makes it easier but not simple.

    * The voice acting is top notch. No, there is no PC crap in it. I cannot stand that. No dialogue seems dumb or forced.

    * The campaign mission/story was well laid out. I looked forward to each step and not just because I wanted to power through it. It all made sense. I love the Freelancer history. They were dealt a very bad hand.

    * Random missions/events are nice surprises. I like flying/walking around and having events just pop up that you can deal with or even join others already there.

    The only boredom in this game is the kind you make.

    That said I do look forward to more content. I thought that was supposed to be day one. Didn't see any, so I took a point off for that.

    * There a handful of bugs that do need to be cleaned up asap that interrupt a mission, cut out audio, hard crash or a chest you cannot open. I took off a point for that.

    Answer to gripes:
    -If you die, you can't respawn, and you have wait until someone reviews you.
    When you are in a stronghold true (like in other dungeon games). Otherwise you can respawn/rez with no penalty.

    -lack of diversity of surroundings.
    We are in the initial area. More climates are coming is my understanding.

    -Awful fast endgame and poor difficulty changes
    One live stronghold is hardly all the "endgame." I are already said how immersive and challenging they are. And BTW - you can lower/raise the difficulty.

    -Poor loot system.
    There was a bug that was giving too much Masterpiece loot. That's been corrected. Now there is "poor" loot. Each time I go through a stronghold I gained better gear. Were they Masterpiece's? Nope. but my loot got better so my toons got stronger.    … Expand

    I don't understand the hate for this game. Perhaps I am still in the 'Honeymoon Phase' because I have really enjoyed this so far. The story is a little below expectations for a BioWare title, but given that it's a multiplayer game I think that offsets it some. There are some technical issues (multiplayer) which can be a major headache. I think the latest patch actually made that worse.I don't understand the hate for this game.

    The game play is great and the controls are responsive and precise. The different Javelins feel like completely different classes rather than "skins" which was a worry. There's a ton of customization available once you start leveling up.

    As long as BioWare stays up on the issues and keeps new content coming I think this will be a great game. Compared to a game like FO76 it's a masterpiece in every way. It's not without its flaws. I guess it's just fun to bash every new game that comes out now.    … Expand

    For 2019... the game has a lot of loading screens. I just hate it. Many additional tasks of the similar type (this is not surprising for games tied with the grind). NPS in the city do not speak, but simply gesticulate. It spoils the whole atmosphere of the game. I would like to know the history of the world from the dialogues, rather than reading game notes. I believe that the function of moving the player to the mission zone is superfluous(this function should be done in the game menu, in case there is an error and the movement is really required).
    In general, I experienced a positive gaming experience. Especially if you compare this game with competitors (but the price of the game is too high). Accurate score for the game 7 points. But I put 8 in the hope of further development of the game.    … Expand

Many systems have been improved upon since the "V.I.P. Beta", namely the flight mechanics. If any of these people were to follow the Anthem subreddit, they would see that they have allocated people to issues brought up by the community, due to one complaint alone. Bioware has taken massive strides to show that they care about this property and intend to make changes directly attributable to community feedback. Games like Destiny get away with far worse, and receive not near as much negative feedback. To me, Destiny's game play was just as "repetitive", yet does not get the negative score that Anthem has.

    Between the demo and early access I have put in over 50 hours into the game and never got tired of the combat. Flying is fun and intuitive, the classes feel unique and independently powerful, and the open world is gorgeous.

    While the game is not perfect (my biggest gripe are the long loading screens) Bioware has already shown their ability to fix issues quickly with the changes made from the super buggy demo to the full game release. I would also like to mention that during my time in early access and after playing for hours at full release last night, I encountered zero server issues, disconnects, etc. which is quite rare these days.

    This is not a game that is a full package right at launch. It is an evolving world that will be continually changing as it moves forward. Unlike other games in the genre, the new content isn't hidden behind paywall DLCs and other monetizing tactics. Usually I would be nervous about this approach but i'm willing to give Bioware a chance because of their transparency and how well they have already communicated these upcoming plans.

    It is also worth mentioning that this game doesn't use any disgusting money-grabbing tactics like so many other recent EA games. No loot boxes. No pay-to-win. Only cosmetics that you can buy with real money or money earned in game. The in-game currency is also generous enough that I was able to purchase a full armor set before I was level 15.

The loading times, as most actual reviewers stated are pretty bad. They've gotten a little better with the day 1 patch, but they're still pretty bad. To me that isn't a huge issue as I have no problem alt+tabbing and reading something for a minute or responding to a message I may have received. The loot can be pretty boring until you hit max level and start getting masterworks. I've seen a lot of people complain about how repetitive it is, and it is a bit repetitive but there is no looter shooter out there that isn't (I.E Warframe, Destiny, Borderlands all suffer from this).

    I've been playing the game since early access started and I must be playing a different game or all of a sudden I'm the luckiest person alive because I've experienced two bugs in over 30 hours of gameplay. The audio bug that cuts out randomly which I believe has been fixed and then the bug that shows you have your ult when you don't. That's it. So I'm not sure what people are doing or trying to do that causes their game to be a buggy mess.

    Touching on micro transactions as I've seen that talked about a few times. Games are more expensive than ever to produce and game prices haven't gone up in years. People don't want to pay for DLC but they want content to keep being created for a game. I'm not really sure what people expect the devs to do to keep pulling money in to make making new content profitable. It's a company, they have to be making money. Not to mention all the MtXs can be bought with in game currency that you get at a fairly good rate.

    Could the game be better, yeah. 100% could have been done better, they could have taken some fixes that Destiny made in the long run and put them in at the start. There are basic QoL updates that need to be done (which they've already stated are being worked on). It needs more end game content, but that's where the games as a service comes in. Those will be free updates in the future. But that's why the game doesn't get a 9 or a 10 from me. It's fun, but it could be better. I can't help but shake the feeling that, at least for some users, it's just automatically bad because it's an EA game and they have a HUGE recency bias towards EA.

    The devs have shown they're listening to user feedback and have talked about content that will be coming in the future as well as the QoL updates the games need. Honestly if you have EA Access it's worth playing, it really is fun in my opinion and I think that most of the hate is unwarranted. If you don't have EA Access I would wait until the first larger content update comes out some time in March and then see how people are feeling about the game as one major concern I have is end game content. Though they've stated they have plans for a few years of content for the game.

    Like I said at the start, the most important thing about the game is that it is fun. It's fun to fly around as Iron Man with friends and shoot aliens and bandits. If the game is checking 2 of the 3 boxes of (Gameplay, Graphics, Story) then I'm on board. The game is gorgeous, the gunplay and gameplay in general is fun and the story is just alright.    … Expand

The graphics, facial animations, voice acting, sound, and minute to minute gameplay (flying, dodging, shooting, using abilities, etc) is fantastic. You can customize your Javelin in a variety of ways. You can choose different materials for parts of the suit (which have different looks and take color in different ways) and you can change their look with any color imaginable (you don't have to buy colors like in Warframe). You can also equip different cosmetic armor pieces that can be bought thru the MTX store with real money (Shards) or with Coin that is earned by completing Challenges.

    Although somewhat short, the story is great in my opinion, with lots of lore collectibles to flesh out the world. The great thing about the story is that it has a lot of room to grow as time goes along and updates roll out. The game is grindy, but it's a looter shooter. You'll be doing the same things over and over on harder and harder difficulty to get those Masterwork items. Masterwork items, in turn, are VERY powerful and worth the grind. As an example, I main Storm (which hovers a lot more than the other Javelins) and my first Masterwork weapon does 200% more damage when hovering. It MELTS.

    The game does have some issues. There are some bugs (many of which were fixed with the first patch). However the devs have been VERY vocal about seeing & fixing things, more so than any I've seen before. Also, due to the game having dedicated servers, many bugs can be fixed on the fly without the need for a patch.

    A lot of YouTuber's have crapped on the game due to the bugs in the demos and during it's first week live (when the Origin Premier and EA Access members got to play a week before everyone else) and have told their audiences not to play the game because it's garbage. Again, the game has launched with bugs. Mission can, at times, feel repetitive. I personally haven't had an issue with that because i'm always having fun but I can see where people are coming from with that complaint.

    There are also reviews on YouTube that have been done by people that are a part of the EA Gamechanger's program. These are the polar opposite of the negative YouTubers and say nothing negative and insist that Anthem is game-of-the-year worthy. While I personally love the game, it has enough flaws in it's current state that people should be made aware of them.

    I would encourage anyone that is interested in the game to watch gameplay on Twitch instead of YouTube reviews that are only going to show either the overwhelming bad or the over-the-top good. If you want to play it for yourself and are on PC, you can spend $15 for a month of Origin Premier and play Anthem for a month to see if you like it. If not, you're out $15. If you enjoy it, you can buy the game and carry on where you left off. I believe that if you buy it while your Origin Premier access is active, you get a 10% discount. Don't quote me on that though.

    Hit me up on Twitter (@Skyhijinx) if you have any questions.

    more powerful keeps people hooked. The feeling of becoming Iron Man and become more and more stronger is the reason I love the game. The game is grindy but I dont think that is unexpected. The game is a looters shooter and thats how
    you loot, by grinding and grinding to get better loot. In conclusion, If you are thinking of playing Anthem to be amazed, and be stunned by a great experience of a single player campaign, dont buy the game becuase this is not for you.
    If you are someone who only cares about the end game and crushing the end game boss, well welcome. I'd be happy to play with you.    … Expand

    Personally, I played it solo (i just did not want to have other players "ruin" the story or get thrown near the end of a story mission) and I really enjoyed it, but the grind for XP feels overdone at least for a solo player.
    What I don't understand is what was the point of making you grind out a bunch of bs for a few hours, it just felt like a massive slog.

    if you enjoy an "alright" story and some "alright" combat/grind then this may be a game for you, IF you do not enjoy GRINDING gear/xp then I would personally not suggest it.    … Expand

    The game is enjoyable, with a lot of awesome mechanics, but unfortunately it has some problems like quite long loading screen and quite long time to render enemies (depend on the driver). I'm playing it on a r9 280 on low and my fps are around 50 quite stable...
    Too people complaining about low frame-rate but man, if u are trying to play such a game on a toaster...

    Не понимаю чё взъелся народ! Игра в принципе неплохая! Она поинтересней чем Warframe и поживее и красивее чем Destiny! Есть проблемы, баги, они сейчас есть везде! Человек паук и God Of War? Там тоже были баги! В Пауке так вообще их был вагон! Уже наиграл часов 50 и не намерен останавливаться!Не понимаю чё взъелся народ! Игра в принципе неплохая!

    After a while, suspicion sets in: perhaps EA doesn’t believe in BioWare anymore, and had them release not only unpolished, but basically unfinished product to cut losses and avoid another total rework. [Issue#237, p.44]

    If you want to see Anthem’s lush jungle and glistening Javelins, do it right away — this game is losing audience fast, and there’s almost nothing to do after the campaign ends. Or check it out on YouTube to save yourself some nerves and money.

    It's obvious that Anthem didn't have enough development time, but had some great potential. It's a real shame, that everything turned out this way. Even now, the game can bring out positive emotions. Hasty climbers have sudden falls. No matter how ironic this proverb may seem, it's incredibly relevant for Anthem.
