    Loving it so far. It's not perfect but by looking how devs responded so far with updates and bug fixes I know that this game have a lot of potential. Can't wait for the first content updates and events!

Without a mic there is no way to communicate as there is no chat. Or Quickplay always puts you into the bugged missions other players are leaving from so you need to waste your time on that.
    Even The Division had less bugs.
    I don't know if they have a playtesting/quality management department but if they do it consits of 1 person only. For a AAA developer the amount of bugs is not acceptable. The only other good thing is i only spent 15 bucks and will stop playing when TD2 comes out.

    This can be a good game, in a year or 2. But not anytime soon.    … Expand

    Campanha muito curta e repetitiva, End game não tem nada tem 3 fortalezas sendo que duas delas vc já faz na campanha , ou seja pra upar vc tem que ficar repetindo as missões da campanha pra chegar no lvl max.
    ainda tem um monte de microtransações super caros e pra ganhar as moedas do game é um sufoco , sendo que tem hora falta atividade pra conseguir mais moedas .

    After around 30 hours in-game it's just boring. It's the same limited set of content, again and again. The AI is broken, the only difficulty increases are by making enemies bullet sponges.

    Negatives
    Bugs. There are enough bugs that I wonder what other hidden mechanics are also not working. If a simple bug like my ultimate showing as ready when it is not is present... then what other hidden mechanics are not working properly. Does that augment I have really give me +25% damage or luck really giving me that bonus? There have been a couple patches that have taken care of most of the bugs seen in early access... I expect that within a week or two of launch most of the noticeable glitches are taken care of. This is a fact of life with games that do not pay professional testers to test their games, and their reputations take an appropriate hit because of it.

    And... If boss mobs do not drop anything at the end of a run... why would anyone waste the time to do that boss fight? Can put the setting on as hard as you want because you don't have to go through the boss fight at the end.

    The main story is fine... but all of the side conversations that provide absolutely no value to the game are ridiculous. You have all these bubbles everywhere that don't go away if you don't watch the cut scene... but you have absolutely no reason to care about the whining that is happening where all you can do is give an npc advice on what they should do about their social hang ups....
    Overall it is very fun, but they have some work to do to keep the replay-ability factor up... I feel like they wanted free roam to be an end game activity ... but with events spread out and you spend 15 minutes flying around hoping to stumble across one slowing the play down... people would probably rather just run the few strongholds over and over (Especially since you do not have to kill the boss to get the loots).    … Expand

    Want to enjoy the game? First, understand what it is you are buying into. Second, get a squad and play with some peeps you enjoy playing with. This is a team game, if you are just trying to blast through solo you will have a very choppy experience and things will be far less entertaining. Not to say this game isn't fun solo, as I still play solo and have a blast, but the team dynamic brings this game to where it needs to be. We are all 60+ hours deep and showing no signs of slowing.

    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.

    I’m amazed people have yet to figure out why their beloved developers have fallen. This is what happens when you stop hiring, promoting, and rewarding based on merit. Skill, talent, work ethic have no place in such industries anymore. Arbitrary diversity, identity politics, and SJW activism have destroyed modern videos games. The result is Anthem.

    Just a terrible game at this point. Maybe a few years later it will be a full game, but right now there is about $10 of worthwhile game play / content. Will EA give BioWare a few years to complete the game or is it RIP BioWare?

People also compare this to WarFrame... What they forget is that WarFrame was utter crap in the early days, it’s had years of development to get to where it’s at today. And to this I’ll get reply’s like “so we should just be ok with releases that aren’t complete?” Are you kidding me, a game like this if done right won’t be “complete” for a very long time. Look at games like WoW and Elders Scrolls Online... Now I know this isn’t an MMO, but it’s MMO like in the essence that it has plans for a long support frame. New content, constant updates, all that good stuff that will make the game more and more complete over time. Honestly, the game has it’s issues, but they’ve already shown that they are putting in the effort to fix them, many things fixed in the course of less than a week! To me that shows a developer who cares about making a great game, and shows great promise for the future.

    TLDR:
    The game has issues, it’s not perfect, but it’s constantly getting fixes at a very fast pace. And the gameplay is fantastic. I’ve pumped 50+ hours into the game already and have loved every minute of it! Getting better gear and upping the difficulty level has kept some excitement in the moment to moment fights. I look forward to seeing how this game progresses :)    … Expand

I've seen in one of the reviews that they are disappointed that Bioware was tasked to make Anthem in lieu of a new Mass Effect game. My question to them for this is, "Did you really want another one after Andromeda?"

    For Anthem though, the graphics look great. The iron man suits look cool, and I really appreciate the level of customization available, both play-wise and visually. The level of detail in the world is great, and the visual aesthetic for the hub city is a cool blend of Middle Eastern cyber-punk.

    In my opinion, the levels of virtue signalling are at a minimum. The fact that that is something to celebrate is sad. However, the cast is incredibly diverse without trying to beat you over the head with it.

    Game play wise, Anthem is grindy. It feels less so than Destiny. Really, it's more like a 3rd person shooter version of Destiny 2 without Bungie's magical shooting touch.

    The story is okay. It isn't going to be winning any awards, but it is serviceable. Out of the cast there are perhaps two characters that are fun, Owen and Haluk. There's also a vendor with a weird fascination with making Javelins (the Iron Man suits) look fabulous.

    Overall, I don't mind Anthem. I don't regret buying it. The micro-transactions are for cosmetic items (that to be honest do not look worth paying for) which can also be unlocked with in-game currency. I'm sure since it's EA that they will manage to screw that up in the future.    … Expand

    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.
