    Before i start this review let me get this out of the way, i have played almost all the games that came from this company and this is solely based on my experience during my 27 hours i have spent in this game.

Before i start this review let me get this out of the way, i have played almost all the games that came from this company and this is solely based on my experience during my 27 hours i have spent in this game.

    I ll keep this short. This game for me is mediocre. i say this with great sadness due to the company behind it and its glorious history.

    Lets start with the positive.

    Gameplay: Exceptional combat, there is something very satisfying flying around Iron-man style obliterating everything in your path. Responsive gunplay, over the top environment and general graphics quality. In depth customization for the dudes that enjoy that kind of thing in a game. That`s all, seriously that`s all the positive and that baffles me.

    Negative.

    After the 5-6 hour mark everything becomes routine, the same old missions,go fetch that, come protect this and so on. Repetition in a game while it`s fun and it gives you a sense of progress, it is not that bad, however in this case it is boring, it`s tiring, the challenges are awful, competing against your team for resources IT IS bad,faulty, outrageous,wrong, change it, now.

    The Hub, yes my dudes the players hub, an eye candy of a place,astonishing to look at,however it is plagued by overthinking, full of crap npc`s that will tire you just by blabbing away your time with meaningless conversations, without any choices in the narrative like we used to adore in the Mass effect series. just traversing the hub it`s unbearable ,slow, time consuming experience that you can`t wait for it to end and get out in that gorgeous world to blow things up.

    The bugs. Where shall i start, the loading times? Averaging 2 minutes loading times with a high end rig and an nvme drive. Invisible or vanishing enemies, quests not registering (requiring you to restart) ,game crashing that caused me to miss some of the cut scenes having no clue what the hell was going on at times, missing out on quests, loots, and time, oh precious time.

    The loot. Unimaginative loot, different recoloring of the same weapons,the same boring loot (ah destiny destiny). For a loot based game like Anthem these kind of drops are...i leave that to you.

    I wasn't expecting this "Anthem". To be honest at a time i was very excited for this game,"omg bioware game, they must have learnt from their mistakes,this is gonna be an epic game". Nop, its not. ITS WORSE than Andromeda.

    This game has so much potential but as it stands right now, its bad, its rushed,its disappointing. Not worth the money.

    A message for the Devs. I know you have put a lot of time in the development of Anthem. I can see it, in the graphics, in the gameplay, in the concept. Don`t know what went wrong. The transition from unreal to frostbite? deadlines from EA? suits calling the shots? Don`t know, don`t care. Unfortunately it falls to you to fix it. Please do, i`d love to come again in a renovated Anthem universe.    … Expand

I would say it looks like BioWare's team has no experience in making a Role Play Game at all, nice try.

I am not having fun at all. the loading literally is longer than the gameplay. what were they thinking? I could see maybe picking this up in 2020 for 10 bucks or maybe 20. mass effect andromeda is better than this! that being said remember what they showed at e3 compared to the crap we got? how is this even legal? I cannot believe the ceo of ea hasn't apologized for this absolute disgrace of a game. Angry Joe and his team made a beautiful review on this game you should check it out before you decide on wasting your money. might as well throw 60 bucks in the toilet! we as a community cant keep letting these companies do this and get away with it! Divison 2 will be way better than this. spend your money on that before this crap. if you like the art style and flying just download warframe its free and a much much better game than this. after reading this heed my warning. or dump 60 bucks in the trash. yes this game will get better in a year. but that's not fair to you on day one! try to tough it out until divison 2 drops.

I have 16 gb of ram a i5 7600k and a rtx 2070. more than capable of running this game. I did put the game on a new drive with a brand new install of windows, which still fixed nothing.

    After another patch, I did get it running on all low, but at least I could play. I queue into the first mission, but the mission kept getting stuck at certain points never finishing and I'd have to join a new party. This happened for a couple of days.

    It was so bugged, I didn't get to complete the first mission. I will change my score once I can play the game adequately but for now a 0/10 is justified, it's unplayable. Which is unacceptable.    … Expand

I was looking forward to immersing myself into the world shown in the E3 2017 trailer. A world full of lush beauty, violent creatures, intense weather, personal relationships (ya know... remember the old BioWare?) and at the very least a world that felt alive. Somewhere along the 6 year development cycle, EA probably halted everything in the wake of Destiny's success, and someone high up decided to make this a looter shooter, instead... I was duped by EA and BioWare into believing that mash-up maybe could've taken us back to a better time in gaming, mixed with new gaming techniques to enjoy expansive worlds with our friends.... What we got was a half-baked game that has no clue what it was trying to be. If you think they're "working on fixes" then you've already missed the point... also, those fixes aren't coming, anyway. What an utter disgrace. Biggest let down in gaming I've experienced so far. Waking up after the very short honeymoon period of having fun shooting things was sobering to say the least. I have more fun watching the E3 2017 trailer on loop than I do actually playing this game. Hopefully one day soon, triple A gaming will just completely crumble and be replaced by AI where we can all be our own Javelins. Until then.... don't spend $$$ on hype anymore...… Expand

Played the demo and found under water travel mechanics to be very difficult. They've improved that by leaps and bounds in the release and even have fine tuning settings to help tweak the feeling for your individual style.

    Graphics are superb even though they are not at the level that was shown in the E3 videos prior to the demo or release. Still one of the best on the market.

    Javelin powers are nice, fun, fluid, and feel great when using them.

    The skin, paint, and texture system is by far the best I've seen in any game. It is incredible and I've spent hours just tweaking and playing around with different combinations to find one cooler than the one I just spend 40 minutes creating. They could have released just that as a stand alone utility and I would have enjoyed that as much as the rest of the game.

    Now for the bad...

    1) Some weapons feel numb and the shotguns are almost useless taking too long between shots to be effective when you are being swarmed by dozens of mobs.
    2) There are only 3 max weapons for each weapon type. Most of them perform in similar fashions with very little to differentiate one from the next.
    3) Lack of enemy types - Three basic humanoid enemies in the game - so gets repetitive real fast. There is a fourth coming in an update, that still isn't that many in what is supposed to be a massive world with a core system that is supposed to create new monsters at will when a cataclysm strikes.
    4) NPC's are stationary, never move their feet, barely move their arms, and don't feel like real people. They more resemble animatronics than a person that is supposed to be in a living world full of interactions.
    5) There is a story, it is weak and thin and doesn't even last until max level before you are through it. I managed to finish the story on three separate characters between levels 16-21. All well before the level 30 cap. That makes it feel like you are end game before you even hit an end game level.
    6) You can only have 3 characters, so it makes role playing with one character per Javelin impossible.
    7) After the main story and the grind to 30, you find yourself not being rewarded with much at all. With such as low number of weapons to drop, you find out quick what works for your play style. That leaves the game void of anything worth the grind to max level. Master craft weapons start dropping at level 25, but what does that get you... they still look pretty much the same as level 1 weapons.
    8) Weapon design is very simplistic and lacking any style that makes me want to have a weapon. The coolest weapons to me are the ones that are used by the Colossus and they all look the same except for very minor changes between the models of auto cannon and the grenade launcher.
    9)Main hub doesn't have a chat and if you are grouped together, the game doesn't even put you all in the same social hub. It took our group of 4 and split us up into four different social hubs so we couldn't even check out each other's suits up close.
    10) no end game content. This explains why they refused to say how many hours of game play the game had. The Division 2 has already said it should take about 30 hours to get to level 30. After playing the beta, I can agree with that. Anthem would never go on record for a time frame... huge tell that something was amiss in that area.

    The list goes on and on and on. This game could easily have been polished for another year just adding content. Instead Bioware is forced to release it in this state by EA, because EA has shareholders and a schedule that cannot be skewed otherwise share prices drop. Its all about the shareholders people, don't think for a moment that EA gives two &*(#@ about releasing high quality games. They care about money. If you check their ticker on yahoo business, not a single article mentions Anthem... everything is Apex, Apex, Apex.

    I feel bad for Bioware because it is a shadow of its former self which most people knew when EA bought them out, that was going to be the result. Here were are seeing it first hand. There are very few developers that generate thoughtful, properly crafted games that tell a great story. Most of those studios are not owned by a major publisher. Even when critic reviews, which are rumored to be paid for, don't rate the game high, that is a huge red flag.

    Fortunately, we have the option of shifting over to the Division 2 which releases on the 15th of March and is likely to garner much of the customer base of Anthem. Its beta had more content than Anthem's release and is just as beautiful. Its benefit is that Ubisoft has actually put effort into a sequel that builds on Div 1.

    I am not saying I won't come back to Anthem. I will keep tabs on it after I get my fill of Div 2. Good luck Bioware... You'll need all you can muster to make it through the storm    … Expand

    I want to give this game a higher review. It is the most fun I've had in a looter shooter than I can remember. Playing the Storm is literally what it would be like to have Gandalf in an Iron Man suit.

    However, this game is so bugged out and has a long way to go. It's unfinished and needed at least another month to work the kinks out. It will get better over time, but this release was atrocious.

    It is a very very very boring game. But flying is fun, yes. It would be fine if it was an early access free to play game on which they would build something playable and enjoyable... but now and for such amount of money? No dude.

I've spent my money, I don't regret, I had my time with it, but it's not my cup of tea (I don't like the grind or arcade mobile games, because it's basically in core a mobile arcade game). Just watch gameplay of it and decide for yourself. It probably won't be F2P cuz EA is EA, but I would play more if it were F2P.

    The characters are bland, the NPC's are basically cardboard cut outs, the models have been completely changed.
    Theres no dynamic quest system.
    Theres loading screens every 5 minutes.
    The loot for a looter shooter is so basic and uninteresting. There are no new models for Legendary weapons, just basic re-skins of the same guns you've had from the start.
    The actual story that has been left in the game has clearly been chopped up and re-arranged with characters the game expects you already to know appearing in missions but you've never met them or spoken to that NPC at the fort or in the world. (Sev from the Scar base stronghold).
    All javelin customisation which was clearly seen in the live streams weeks before release has been stripped out and removed (possibly for later re-sale as micro transactions).
    No actual decision you make in the game has any effect on your character or the quest givers and characters you meet. This was supposed to be one of the major selling points that the initial Anthem marketing videos hammered home as something the game would contain.
    All the marketing videos that were released have essentially lied about the majority of the content that was supposed to be in the game.
    The stats on your gear and guns makes no viable sense, and makes trying to make a worthwhile build for your javelin almost impossible.
    The mission design is extremely basic and padded out.
    The Striders which are spoken about as being such an important part of the Anthem world in the lore have been made completely static, even though they were shown to be mobile and even get attacked by enemy NPC's in a mission / in the world. This never happens in the game. The in-game cinematics even show these Striders being used as assault vehicles, transports, traders and the main vehicle of choice for the Freelancers, if not everyone in Anthem. Why arent they used in a more dynamic way like a mobile spawn point or repair / resupply stations that move around the world?

    Anthem is the basics of a great idea. If the game we received was the same that was shown at E3 2017, we'd be looking at a 10/10. But the game has been completely gutted, and I dont know how you can advertise your video at E3 as "actual in-game footage" and then completely downgrade everything from the animations, to the environment, to the way the game actually flows.

    I pre-ordered Anthem and even bought a copy for my best friend because of the early E3 trailer and later "actual gameplay" trailer. Well let me tell you, those videos were outright LIES that are illegal under US law.

    The game:

    - Can't even be played at most times due to server instability issues
    - Forces you to hit a loading screen for practically everything you want to do
    - There are still constant Pilot Error Data bugs which prevent you from even getting into the one single instanced town in the game (where you start from on login)
    - The combat is a joke since combat is based on scaling (ie a lvl1 player joining their friend will do more DPS with a lvl1 gun than someone with a full MasterWork loadout)
    - Is horribly designed from the ground up
    - Lacks any true end-game and BioWare's 90-day Games As Service model puts the first event a full 3 months after launch which effectively kills the game in terms of the majority of players
    - Is a looter shooter..... WITH NO LOOT. The Devs refuse to make the loot rain despite receiving a THOROUGH post by Diablo 3's director who revamped D3's loot with 2.0
    - The crafting system is now unusable since the harvest nodes you farm to get crafting material with were nerfed into oblivion and harvesting is now a waste of time

    I could go on and on about how terrible this game is, but the gist is that Anthem is a buggy mess that has far too many issues connecting to it's own servers for even a single-player instanced walk around Tarsis.

    Do NOT spend your money on Anthem. And I HIGHLY recommend not buying any more BioWare or EA games ever again unless you want to be looked at as a cash cow meant to be strung along to pay for low-effort DLC, loot boxes, and low-effort cosmetics that aren't even what the players want.    … Expand

    TL;DR Summary- "A beautiful game, with horrible performance issues, lack of content for a live loot shooter (even at day 1), and plagued with bugs across all platforms that ruin what could otherwise be a good experience. I recommend waiting a year to see if it gets fixed, this is EA and they're known backing out poor performing products and this will be one."

    The good-- - Graphics,    TL;DR Summary- "A beautiful game, with horrible performance issues, lack of content for a live loot shooter (even at day 1), and plagued with bugs across all platforms that ruin what could otherwise be a good experience. I recommend waiting a year to see if it gets fixed, this is EA and they're known backing out poor performing products and this will be one."

    The good--
    - Graphics, they're pretty, if you have a video card that can handle them.

    - The javelins, lets be honest we all wanna be ironman and the controls make you feel like you are.

    - The world, its interesting, there's lots of lore, even if the story is a bit lacking.

    - the music is awesome, scores fit the scenes

    The bad--
    - The story, its... uh... weak at best. No spoilers, but... the current story at launch is unremarkable in any way.

    - The performance, its dismal. Even on top end hardware it tends to dip into the 50s and 40s, for a loot shooter, that's "not ok"... and while the graphics are great, they also lack detail to some degree when you slow down and really look.

    - Loading... Please wait. Mission starts, you got joined to existing mission, you've got 25s to get to team... oh you can see them... 5s left closer almost to them.... then it teleports you... with another loading screen. The mission end has a loading screen, after the mission ends it has a loading screen, between forge and town there is another loading screen, between mission and town there is a loading screen, I know why no one has ever assaulted fort tarsis and took it... they got stuck in a loading screen loop and the defenders just picked them off.

    - The loot... is perhaps the worst loot I've seen in any loot based game... ever. It's lackluster and uninteresting at best. BL, BL2, D1, D2, even games as old as diablo 1 had better loot. Hell, common drops in wow were more interesting to be honest. Did I mention they forgot to include the legendary support items, and for some classes after day 1 patch, even top level epic (36) don't drop anymore! Bonus.

    - End game, and yeap, I'm there. Been there for a week. Content... grinding out days and days and days of strongholds and freeplay... to get a legendary piece of gear... that you probably won't use. I'm currently my 20th GM2 stronghold without anything better than a masterwork dropping... and its still dropping crap I'd not have used at day 1 level 30 on a regular basis. Even the masterwork stuff I get (and god I've had a ton of it) is mostly junk. You end up trying to get 1% better this or that and the masterworked named items... just aren't very good for the most part. The disparity between a "decent" masterwork/legendary and a "junk" one is so big that only a few weapons are usable... rest you can just scrap, they're worthless.

    - Everything looks the same. Everything. Everywhere. It's pretty, but quite literally all the same.

    - Repetitive content. Choice of 3 strong holds, gm2 (3 is absurdly hard... i could solo kill 2/3 strong hold bosses on GM3, the mechanics are that uninteresting and predictable, but... it would literally take 6 hours due to them being bullet/ability sponges to such a huge degree, literally the only difference that matters between gm1-gm2-gm3... is hp. GM3 takes so long to kill things even if the drop rate was multiplied by 10 it would be too slow. Beyond the strongholds which are exceptionally repetitive, there are basically only 4 mission types "protect the point", "bring the popped off bits to the machine", "bring the lights to the ferrofluid speaker magnet", and "rescue people and kill the stuff"... and its that blatant with its presentation.

    - The ai is perhaps the worst ive ever seen. bar none.

    - most of the guns don't have actual bullets you fire, they hit. period. no way to dodge (unlike all other loot shooters for the most part.) There are exceptions, but largely its not terribly compelling and limits how much better you can get effectively.

    - fort tarsis is so slow its miserable... even running (which is almost normal walking speed for a human rather than ponderously slow crawling.)

    - Bugs... prior to day 1 patch, other than the loading screens, it was the largest problem. It's STILL a big problem though, there are a multitude of bugs from simple things like entire team wiping means bosses won't show up to not being able to res people to sound suddenly stopping working to video glitches to controls ceasing to work to cut scenes not showing, to mechanical things like being able re-open same chest every-time team wipes (and that was so abused you couldn't join a GM1-3 group for 48h that wasn't people exploiting it.)    … Expand

    The combat mechanic is fun, and the game is beautiful. The biggest problem is the general mission structure; it is highly repetitive. It usually alternates between killing enemies and finding stuff scattered around. Occasionnally, you may be presented with a mini-puzzle but they always work the same; look around, find the pictograms and match them with what's being presented to you.The combat mechanic is fun, and the game is beautiful.

    The story is ok, but not great. Some characters are just plain annoying and irrelevant. But the main characters are interesting enough and well developed, for the most part. The biggest problem is that most of the character/story development happens between the missions, at Fort Tarsis; not very imaginative.

    I haven't really played the game before the day 1 patch but since the launch, I haven't run into any major bug personally; the game is stable and the loadings are not too big either. Although I most admit I am mostly playing solo, with a fast SSD (Samsung 960 Pro).

    Overall, I think the game is promising but in its current state, it isn't for everyone. This game may succeed; it will depend on Bioware's ability to deliver content regularly, while adding content diversity. But right now, it feels a bit simplistic amd rushed.    … Expand

    4 is a perfect score for this game right now. It can be higher after couple of months but we should rate current state of the game. Not promises.

Like 30m mission you have with your friends and your audio just die    4 is a perfect score for this game right now. It can be higher after couple of months but we should rate current state of the game. Not promises.

    First, negatives:

    * Bugs, bugs everywhere. Game has so many bugs. You won't be able to play 2 hours straight without encountering some. Some of them are really annoying. Like 30m mission you have with your friends and your audio just die out. Complete silence. Normally I would give this game a 5. But amount of bugs I'm encountering made me lower the score to 4
    * Lack of endgame - So this is live service. You suppose to play this game for months. Well good luck with that. You would think that after so many games like this, Bioware would learn from the best and prepare some content? Nope. You have 1 type f mission. You go to the 1 single map (Destiny had like 4 of them) where everything look the same and you kill waves of enemies or some tougher enemy. Game give you multiple missions but in fact - all of the mare the same. Then you have strongholds. 1 is just re-used final mission. 1 is in caves and is boring as hell, boss is just robot you encounter everywhere in the game but with extra shield and that's it. 1 we saw in the demo. One with scorpion king is most fun to play.
    * Total lack of balance - You have something like ultimate ability. Something like game changer. Powerful abilities like in Overwatch that should wreck havoc. Your ultimate ability on high difficulty takes away like I don't know... 2% of enemy HP? you use it all and tougher enemy wont even loose shield so you can drop some of it HP. But guess what - you can have a PISTOL that will do more damage per shot that your ULTIMATE. Game give you 3 GRANDMASTER difficulties. Great right? Complete them for better drop. BUT after doing them several time - you actually get less from them than more. Because it takes much more time to complete them while drop is just slightly better. Early on your abilities rules. After that your guns are just better. Your ultimate become useless. It's a mess.
    * Loot is crap. You have just few abilities. Components and guns. Most guns are just trash. You are only after few of them. You can carry 2 at the same time anyway and you can't switch them during mission so rest is just trash. All guns looks the same. After a while because of low drop and low amount of unique items - you basically gather trash whole game.
    * Boss rewards are trash - so - boss rewards are locked. You can get only 1 masterwork (2nd tier from the top) and never anything better. And ONLY ability. So once you get better item (legendary) then basically there is no point killing the boss. NEVER.
    * Audio is terrible. Most enemies are just silent. You can't locate enemies by audio queues. Audio can just die. And sometimes stuff on screen are silent. Like game can't handle extra audio tracks.

    Now the good things:
    * It's a best iron man simulator ever made
    * Blowing stuff is fun
    * Graphic is good

    Basically Anthem is a good looking, shallow, empty 60-80$ with NO CONTENT, microtransactions and it's full of bugs. Unless you want to play little bit broken iron man simulator I suggest skipping it. Try in May. There will be first big patch with content there. Maybe then game will be worth something.    … Expand

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

    I have been playing the game not stop since the release on origin access (which is actually the official launch date releasing one week later on the 23rd was just another way for EA to try and incentivise consumers into spending more but I digress)

    The gameplay: 8/10 by far the best aspect of the game if you ever wondered what it would be like to play as Iron Man Anthem is for you.    I have been playing the game not stop since the release on origin access (which is actually the official launch date releasing one week later on the 23rd was just another way for EA to try and incentivise consumers into spending more but I digress)

    The gameplay: 8/10 by far the best aspect of the game if you ever wondered what it would be like to play as Iron Man Anthem is for you. Flying is awesome and the mechanics work very well. Shooting is ok but there was a definite improvement from the demo. However, once you faced the first few batches of enemies it will feel like you have already finished the game due to the huge amount of repetition

    Story: 1/10 Bioware is known for its compelling storylines games like Mass Effect 2/3 are today still fan favourites but if you looking for a similar experience in Anthem you ain't getting any. The protagonist comes off as an arrogant fool, side characters are awfully generic and your choices don't really influence the end game. Fort Tartis is also very bland especially if you compare it to the E3 a presentation, it feels like you are inside a cemetery every time you load into the game which in turn forces you to rush to Javelin to fly away into the beyond,

    Other aspects:
    The game is very buggy even after the "day one" patch. I can't tell you how many times I found myself in the infinite loading screens(despite placing Anthem's folder in my SSD hard drive), texture glitches happen often but the framerate is the worse so much so it makes me want to puke I have a high-end pc but frames drop quicker than Usain Bolt in a speed test.
    The implementation of Micro-transactions makes the game a distasteful(despite earning a decent amount of coins during your first playthrough after finishing the game earn rate drops significantly making cosmetic purchases harder through gameplay )

    Overall: Anthem is a decent game with HUGE amounts of potential if Bioware can polish it off in the coming months but at this stage, I don't recommend it to anyone.

    I really like the gameplay, I have lot of fun. It is true that 2-3 more months of development and testing would be good. But I can't give a bad review because I'm having fun and that's what i'm asking to a game. It's a game planned for the long term with a lot of updates, I trust Bioware to do good things, make regular changes and surprise us.

    Just lags, bugs, no fun.
    R.I.P. Bioware, PapEA is taking you for a walk soon...

    Don't buy it. Seriously, game had 3 patches that fixed absolutely nothing but nerfed loot without telling us. Also my game drops to 1 fps, yes ONE. I know that sounds stupid and you think "maybe your PC is too weak". Well I'm running RTX 2070 and 4790K with 12GB RAM. This is absolutely pathetic and unacceptable.

    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.
