    Have been waiting this game since I saw it on E3 years ago. The game runs smooth and looks awesome. I have had no problems so I think that all this negative feedback is only because is EA and people are haters. Bioware do not deserve so many bad comments, they are an amazing company.
    If you're going to talk s**t about a game, at least do it with real reasons and not just hate!

    A solid "Looter Shooter" with a good story and fun game play. Story is enjoyable and the additional social interactions with NPC's add to the life of the city.

    The game is Beautiful. Flying around is great. The story, to me, was satisfactory. The game does have some issues that need to be addressed, though It's been keeping me busy since it released and will for quite a while longer. Overall I feel like the game is great and will only get better as the Devs are fast to reply to issues and fix bugs.

    Anthem is a looter shooter with a lot of potential. It is a decent game around the same quality as Destiny 2 on release. Really disappointing to see the way gullible people are getting swept away in the hate bandwagon, but that's the internet today, I guess.

    My experience with Anthem began with purchasing the EA prime for one month ($15). I figured that if I didn't like the game, I would just cancel and not buy it; but, if I did like the game, I could buy it 10% off.

    I was hooked by the first 10 hours. There are a few bugs and the loading times were rough, but I don't understand why people are calling this an "unfinished game."

    I was hooked by the first 10 hours. There are a few bugs and the loading times were rough, but I don't understand why people are calling this an "unfinished game."

    This is all just my opinion, but I think it has an original and epic story. Also, the dialogue between the characters is better than Fallout 4. With some NPCs, I found myself laughing at their hilarious banter and interactions; and, with other NPCs, I found myself deeply invested in their heart wrenching situations.

    The world is massive and there is so much to explore. Chests, resources, and other collectibles are there for the taking if you just look into that cave on the side of the cliff or in that lake by the waterfall. While you explore, you will activate World Events giving you an opportunity to score some loot and feats. EVERY EXPERIENCE in this open world is different. The chests and resources spawn in different places, and the World Events activate randomly.

    The game play is... WOW. Flying around this massive world is addicting, and fighting with so much maneuverability is both challenging and fun.

    The loot system reminds me of Boderlands2. Awesome.

    The day 1 patch has reduced the loading times by about 50% (just a guestament). This has reaffirmed my decision to play this game. With more patches and content on the way, I look forward to what Anthem will become.    … Expand

Someone criticizes micro transactions, which in principle are not in the game, someone scolds a bad story, while it is obvious that several hours after the start of sales, it is impossible to complete the game and find out its plot. At the same time, lore games from the first minutes seem deep and thoughtful. The graphics and animations are just great. But the overwhelming majority of comments indicate either the minuses in these particular areas of the game, or the fact that EA and BioWare are just going down. "Fantastic constructive comments." Obviously, the game is hating "just like that." There are no weighty reasons for this. Sometimes, you can even see negative reviews, about the cause of minor bugs, from the series “found an invisible wall”, “not enough content” ... God, as if these people had completely studied all the content that is at the start. Or bugs haunt from every step. In general, if someone saw my comment and realized that I wrote (… Expand

    Great game with big ambitions! Yes, this is a game service, and it has some problems at the start! No project of this type came out complete and fully playable. From large-scale projects of this type, I can single out 3! They came out altogether zero! I am impressed with Anthem! I have not been so immersed in the game universe for a long time, though not for long

    The game had some network issues on launch that are blown out of proportion (but they need to get this stuff working flawlessly), the gameplay is FUN and that is what its all about.
    The Developers are active and transparent on social media (reddit). It has no Lootboxes. That is a better starting point in my eyes than Destiny or Division had.

    The Developers are active and transparent on social media (reddit). It has no Lootboxes. That is a better starting point in my eyes than Destiny or Division had.

    Story and Atmosphere is awesome, this is finally a different type of game than the tired old BioWare RPG formula that i played over and over from KOTOR to Andromeda.
    It will need a lot more content added to keep me playing post launch and paying for microtransactions but i think this is a solid foundation for a new Franchise.

    I am not burned out on looter shooters as i didn't play Desitny or Division so maybe that is why i still enjoy this.
    The Loot and progression is a bit linear, but that is fine, i'm not here for the grind but for the gameplay and atmosphere, if i get bored and move on after 50 hours that is fine as well, i do not look for long term relationships with my videogames, EA want's to turn everything into a "live service" so you keep paying for microtransactions, i as the customer do not care about that stuff, if i get a good amount of hours of fun for my 60€ then i'm happy with that.

    I'm sure in a few patches most of the technical complaints won't be issues anymore.
    If the content is for you or not is subjective, i got FUN and that is all i care about.

    The EA BAD circlejerkers are out in force to destroy this one which is sad, maybe EA deserves this, BioWare sure doesn't.

    But if anybody wants to tell me that they worked 6 years on this, no, just no. This has at best 2 years of active development in it and it clearly feels rushed, a year more development would have helped a lot, maybe they were doing concept art and world building 6 years ago but the current version of the Frostbite Engine isn't even old enough for that statement to make any sense.    … Expand

    Review Anthem, not EA.... I see so many complaints from people who have hardly played the game. I'm about 90hrs+ in and truly love this game. This is a loot grinder game, it's going to be repetitive and getting to the true end game will take more than a day. Luckily I haven't had any technical issues with my desktop. Sit around 65-85fps on Ultra 2k. Let's review the game and stop reviewingReview Anthem, not EA.... I see so many complaints from people who have hardly played the game.

Luckily I haven't had any technical issues with my desktop. Sit around 65-85fps on Ultra 2k. Let's review the game and stop reviewing EA, a good chuck of these reviews don't say anything about the game and just cry about EA which makes me wonder the validity or lack of purchase before reviewing.

    Pros:
    1. Combat feels and plays great
    2. Teaming up with other players and working out gear combos makes this game have endless combos
    3. This isn't a quick to the top game, very few players can even finish content on GM2
    4. An active Dev team with open communication, this is very rare
    5. No one is holding your hand or showing you how to build your Loadout, you will need to test things
    6. GM2-3 are difficult, let's keep it that way
    7. Huge verity of stats and bonuses on gear, one good roll on an item can completely change your build, this give a good reason to re-roll (craft Masterwork) gear for new stats
    Improvements and Suggestions
    1. Add a Mini-map, it's easy to get turned around and blocking the screen with a map isn't helpful
    2. Add a Shooting Rang or Test Dummy area, allow for testing builds outside of joining groups or going through multiple loading screens to see if gear works
    3. Add more Strongholds
    4. Add the ability to view equipped gear outside the Forge
    5. Add a Character stats screen, showing totals of perks and bonus you get from your gear along with stat definitions
    6. Add in-game chat with the ability to link items for others to view

    Overall the game has been awesome, a few tweaks will really polish this game up. If you are looking for instant gear and no grind I would strongly avoid this game, if you are a fan of POE, D3 and other gear grinders I would bet you would really enjoy this game. With the current 90 day roadmap that was released by Bioware I feel this game will evolve quickly and many issues that are being seen now will be gone. Final note, the story is short but left open ended giving me the hopes of new content. Time will tell, for now I am sold and will continue to play.    … Expand

    I really can't understand such low scores. The game probably has some bugs (I have only issues with connection), but it's just launched and some number of bugs is reasonable. I even think that it's pretty good start. The gameplay is fun and the story is brilliant. I guess you should at least try this game, it really worth it.

    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.
