As things stand today, this game is not worth investing any time in, and that's coming from someone who got it for free. EA knows this thing is a turd. They have to, there is no way they could not.

    *Update*

    I've updated my original review of this game from a 5 to a 0, due to the numerous game breaking bugs. As things stand today, this game is not worth investing any time in, and that's coming from someone who got it for free.

    EA knows this thing is a turd. They have to, there is no way they could not. Don't expect major fixes to be forthcoming, this will probably be the last game Bioware makes.

    --------------------------------------
    Currently, the average user score for Anthem on PC sits at 4.2 Chalk one up for crowdsourcing, because that's just about what it deserves. Anthem is not a disaster the way some are saying, nor is it a triumph. It's a thoroughly mediocre game; beautiful and fast, but also extremely shallow with terrible design decisions throughout.

    The lack of social space in the game is the real head scratcher. It makes the entire world feel dead, or at least more dead than it already would. Fort Tarsis has the look of an area that was lifted right out of a 90s adventure game. People are moving around, but if you watch them, they aren't going anywhere, just following a simple script to move back and forth between two points. NPCs tell you they are leaving, then continue standing right where they are.

    For some reason you can see other players in the Launch Bay, but not Tarsis. This is never explained, but even if it were it makes no difference, because you can't interact with the other players anyway.

    The open world is beautiful, and strange. And dead. It's as if Bioware spent all their dev resources on level designers and graphic artists, with no one left to design an actual game.

    Right now, this game is worse than Destiny 2, or even The Division. It's probably on par with where D2 started, and a little bit better than the disaster The Division was on launch. And that's the silver lining; if Bioware commits the resources, the bones are there to make a good game, just like both those games did, after countless patches and dev hours.

    Will EA give them the time to fix it, and do they know how? Guess we'll see.

    I really love the combat made for the game. The shooting, abilities and different javelins are really fun to mess around with. The story definitely CAN be improved, but I think that the story doesn't mean as much to me as the combat. there are some technical issues I've experienced and server issues, but not enough to say the game is bad. I see people saying that their game crashes and will disconnect them from servers, but in 20 hours, none of that has happened. Levels can be repetitive when you've done a lot of "stand here for 5 minutes" missions. My biggest problem is the strongholds. There aren't enough to keep going. I haven't reached that state yet, but only 3 of them will not be enough for bio ware to have enough time to make more of them.

    Final ruling: Anthem has negatives, but they don't outweigh the pros. If you like being a bad ass and killing everything in sight in the coolest way possible. GET IT NOW!

    The endgame in anthem, freeplay kill an ancient titan on gm2 get 2 blues, put all my consumables on and join a stronghold start at 2nd chest, legendary contracts collect shaper fragments (the same thing I done In the story a million times).

    The endgame will lose anthem much of it's playerbase it gets old very fast.

    Getting to endgame, I probably spent hours staring at a loading screen crashed multiple times, lost audio & connection to servers, with my friends CPU running at 100% burn in temps having to take breaks, I could go on and on man but the core gameplay is fun that's the only reason I kept going and why I'm not giving this a 0.

    This was was not ready for launch its in an unacceptable state missing many core features a game like this should have, the game has potential but paying full price for a half baked game is getting old and people are getting fed up with it.

    The story is satisfying, but the real draw comes from getting to know the characters in Fort Tarsis between missions. Many of them have their own missions to offer and most of them have rich stories to tell. The Fort actually changes in subtle ways as you progress through the game. Completing the main storyline opens up even more to do and there is more to come very soon.

Gameplay consists of loading screens, mech customization, loading screens, dialogue to get mission, loading screen, mission that lasts 4-7 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of tedium to get into the next bit of action. The game is okay, I can't understand the 0-2 ratings, but yeah, it doesn't seem to know whether it wants story or action so it just yanks you back and forth constantly. Expand

    BIOWARE took 6 years to make a game that most AAA Devs could **** out in a couple years with a proof of concept and be very close to the amount of content this piece of trash is. I have no idea why a game lacking so much content took 6 years with hundreds of employees. Its a new record I think. No amount of added content would fix this game.

    STAY FAR AWAY and go play Warframe which is 100 times better.

    If you can get over the fact that there isn't much story and that a lot of BioWares core strengths haven't been expressed that much, it's actually a good game.

    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!

    Anthem deserves more than its current score. Sure, it could have more content but games like Warframe and Destiny 2 have had years of development. So for an initial release this looks great, the mechanics are fantastic too. Such an enjoyable game with friends!

    Combat:
    For the genre it's part of, the combat is quite refreshing.
    Glad that there's a reason to use the skills you got equipped, what many games in this genre lack.
    My only gripe with it is the lack of "special" skills/weapons that could only obtained by completing something specific (Borderlands did this nicely).
    If it had such it would be complete.

    Javelins:
    Each having a role to play, though the melee one seems to be there just for those that like the playstyle of it.
    Ranger single target, colossus AOE/heavies, storm AOE/shieldies. They cover it all.
    Having enjoyed Ranger, Colossus is a lot more fun than it initially looked like. Mate's loving Storm, so I let him have that role.

    Exp:
    Happy that the exp gain is dependent on how well you and your party did, and doesn't punish you if you're a try hard (nuke builds in Warframe for example).
    It promotes going for combos, getting multi-kills etc, instead of just turning your brain off while grinding.
    Wish there was a use of exp once you hit max lvl. Have yet to reach it, but nobody talks about it, so I assume there's no exp gain afterwards anymore.

    Loot:
    The only reason to grind is to perfect your build, instead of getting everything and never be used.
    There being a reason to grind for such isn't there besides personal choice, but I can't recall any that really have. Everything can be done with sub-optimal gear.
    I do wish Anthem was the game that went that way, but then again I'm part of the small percentage that enjoys such (easily seen throughout other games).

    Quest-line/Story:
    Some nice NPC options - some conversations can go either direction
    Some annoying NPCs - conversations that lead nowhere, or shouldn't be had
    Traversing the town - slow, even with the sprint, this is my main gripe with the game. Just let me teleport around.
    Heard the ending to be bad, worse than ME3's ending, and I don't get it. It wasn't perfect, but it was fine, it made sense.

    Amount of content:
    Somewhat lacking for the genre it's part of. If they keep their promise and introduce more this will surely be another game I'll be coming back to once a while.

    Overall:
    A really nice game to be build upon, has really good potential to be one of the best in its genre, but that depends on the amount of content they'll bring in over time.

    Los haters se hacen con la bandera al parecer , ¿un 3 a este juego de veras? solo por los graficos ya se merece un 5 así que no me J... (Sigan leyendo y daré mis argumentos)

    Está claro que es un mata mata si no te gustan... ¿porque juegas? ¿esperabas otra cosa? ¿te han roto las expectativas y pones críticas negativas por ello?

    ¿Un juego que estas intensamente jugando 50 horas sin parar y lo ves falto de contenido cuando en la play vemos algunos que tienen unas 6 h?

    Pienso que debeis de preguntaros si con vuestras críticas al gremio del juego le hacéis bien o lo que hacéis es conseguir más Regueton en en vez de más grupos como Rollings stones, Queens o los Beatles.

    POSITIVO

    - Visualmente: Simplemente nada que añadir pues vuestros ojos la realidad es imposible que la nieguen solo faltaba que los heates dijeran pues a mi me gustaría que fuera menos realista y que se viera mas cartoon como el fornite.

    - Interfaz: Completamente moderna, muy distinta a lo que estamos acostumbrado a ver por tanto creo que es necesario mencionarlo.

    - DLC: Gratuitos, no como Destiny que el juego te salia a 200 euros el juego a la larga. (y yo soy de los que lo tienen y a jugado muchísimo a destiny)

    - Nivel de juego: Tiene para elegir el nivel de dificultad que quieras como en Diablo III lo cual me parece muy interesante todo el mundo no es un PRO ni juega 6 h diarias.

    - Puedes Volar y control del mismo: Es super realista realmente parece que has cogido uno de los robots de Avatar y estás luchando contra los indígenas del planeta.

    - Escenarios: Tienen distintas alturas, te disparan desde montañas francotiradores, tienes que deshacerse de ellos para que puedas matar a los enemigos del suelo, lo cual hace que sea interesantisimo la organización del equipo para conseguir los objetivos.

    - Combos: Para sacar el mayor partido a tu alabarda lo mejor es conseguir hacerlo

    - Historia: Todo el mundo se queja de que los juegos no tienen historia, de que el contenido del lore es vacío, este es prácticamente una película en la

    - Idioma: Salio en español de primeras y con un doblaje que no es el mejor pero si aceptable.

    - Cinemáticas: Espectaculares, la gesticulación de los personajes es brutal.

    - Precio: Posibilidad de pagar 15 euros y tenerlo 1 mes para probarlo... me parece genial los mejores 15 euros invertidos de mi vida ni en una peli me divierto tanto como pasandome la historia de este juego. Y el cine os recuerdo que vale 7 pavos por 1h y media de ocio (sin contar palomitas y cocacola)

    NEGATIVO

    - Loot: Es un poco random pero sinceramente en el Diablo III (hablo desde este juego porque me parece una mecánica parecida aunque totalmente distintos).

    - Repetitivo: En algunos momentos puede ser repetitivo porque va corto de valuartes. Pero.. nada mas lejos que de un juego que acaba de salir y va a meter parches al mes siguiente metiendo 1 nueva raza como han comentado ya.

    - No se puede jugar en cualquier pc: Cierto .... pero su calidad es por lo que se aposto y el listón de los gráficos no se podia bajar mas puesto que en la E3 ya lo pusieron muy alto y creo que de ahi vienen todas las críticas la gente pensaba que iba a jugar una cinemática.. y claramente los PC a la calidad de la E3 rebentarian.

    - La IA: ¿que IA? pienso que las quejas sobre esto son tonterías puesto que es un mata mata no tienen porque tenerla , pero bueno ... como todo si , podria ser una peguita y se puede mejorar claro está.

    - El focus de los bichos: Bueno el focus es un poco random y eso... creo que deberian de mirarlo.

    Me salen muchos más PROS que CONTRAS que le hacemos. Pero ustedes diran.

    For starters, Anthem has a p # $ the gameplay! That's what won most of its players. Fly like Iron Man, shootings, flying missiles, beautiful, noisy blasts that shake the screen of your television!
    But Anthem brings a story not much explored and does not captivate much, this for now since the game is being released in acts, 3 for now. But remembering that even being developed by Bioware, it is not a game focused on history as the Dragon Ages or Mass Effects.
    Another serious problem of Anthem are the loot, the weapons are practically identical, which is a serious fault for being a grind game, focused on farm. This makes the experience a bit annoying given that it is essential for a grind game, the player to repeat the missions several times in order to get better equipment.
    Compared with the trailer for E3, the game is different, but still the graphics are very beautiful with excellent light effects.
    I had no problems with servers but there are several reports of players complaining about instability.
    In my opinion, Anthem is a game that will be perfected over time, as well as the division and destiny. I think it was a little bit wronged at the beginning, mainly because of its connection with EA, but it still has time to redeem itself and be able to show all its undeniable potential

    Tradução em português:

    Inovador, gráficos lindos, jogabilidade surpreendente, porém... com certas falhas que acabaram prejudicando injustamente ou não o jogo.

    Para começar, Anthem tem uma p#$a jogabilidade! É o que conquistou a maioria dos seus jogadores. Voar como Iron Man, tiroteios, misseis voando, explosões lindas e barulhentas que tremem a tela da sua televisão!
    Porém Anthem trás uma história não muito explorada e que não cativa muito, isso por enquanto já que o jogo está sendo liberado em acts, 3 por enquanto. Mas lembrando que mesmo sendo desenvolvido pela Bioware, não se trata de um jogo focado na história como os Dragon Ages ou Mass Effects.
    Outro problema sério de Anthem são os sem graça, as armas são praticamente idênticas, o que é uma falha grave por ser um jogo grind, focado em farm. Isso torna a experiencia um pouco chata tendo em vista que é essencial para um jogo grind, o jogador repetir inumeras vezes as missões afim de obter um equipamento melhor.
    Comparando com o trailer da E3, o jogo está diferente, mas ainda sim os gráficos estão muito bonitos com efeitos de luz excelentes.
    Eu não tive problemas com servidores mas há vários relatos de jogadores reclamando da instabilidade.
    A meu ver, Anthem é um jogo que será aperfeiçoado com o tempo, assim como the division e destiny. Acredito que tenha sido um pouco injustiçado no inicio, principalmente pela sua ligação com a EA, mas que ainda tem tempo de se redimir e poder mostrar todo o seu inegável potencial

    Yeah the game has some bugs. Yeah the Endgame is repetitive. But that can be easily fixed. And to all those who gave this game a 1 or 0, did you actually play the game? Or are your opinions straight out of youtube? Because if you would have played the game you would know that it is more like a Diabolo than a Mass Effect.

    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.
