    Everything is said over and over.
    The Game is really bad.
    I was so exited about the game.
    BioWare meant something in the past.
    Now I'am not so sure anymore.

    I honestly do not understand all the hate towards this game. The game looks fantastic, plays good and it has one of the most enjoyable combat/movement systems to date.

So, if you were expecting a single player rpg, guess what, this is not one of them.
    I never really enjoyed Destiny, nor Warframe, but Anthem just "clicks" with me.
    No idea why, but I really like it.    … Expand

    + easy to be matched up with randoms for missions, as I don't have any friends who play this also

    - Story doesn't interest me that much, but it's good it's there to give some background lore. But hey, for me the story in for example Dark souls 3 and dying light did not interest me either and these are two of my favorite games. Because they are just fun.
    - When done with missions getting new ones feels like a chore to me
    - I'd say the loading screens from time to time, but with an SSD it's really not that bad. Something like 30 seconds to get in or out town. People are either exaggerating or have patato pc's. Ever played GTA V / Online?! After experiencing that, this is peanuts concerning loading times.
    - Micro transactions, just ignore them totally, I do.

    I get there is a lot of hate towards EA for well,... being EA.
    I get people hoped for a Bioware story as deep as KOTOR and are disappointed it's nothing close to that.
    I get people are mad they did not get everything they were promised during development time (that took six years)
    I get people are mad because the game has micro transactions.

    What I don't get is that people rate Anthem 0 - 4 out of 10 because of the reasons written above.

    In the end, it's looter/shooter with that's great fun! If that is enough for you, as it is for me, then you'll have an awesome game.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to play Anthem.    … Expand

    I am having fun playing Anthem. I am a casual gamer and I find the combat super enjoyable. The loading screens are long but I don't notice many other issues. Maybe it works better on a high end PC? The vertical levels are different than the typical FPS and I think the graphics look pretty cool.

    Game has so much, potential they just didn't include enough content at launch, but you just need to wait till next month for the first major content drop. The movement is superb, story is a bit basic by Bioware standards and combat is clean and fluid.

    The good- gameplay, flight mechanics, battles are always fun, good customization. Having a blast playing with friends
    the mediocre- The story. While definitely not a bad story, it wasn't great either.
    The bad- Bugs(which a lot have been delt with already. Loading screens, though on my computer they are pretty quick and I don't even have that good of computer.

    I think a lot of things more will come in the next future - as we now know about Bioware's Road Map - and I'm trying to remember everyone that we are in front of a MMO and not a single player based videogame.

    I am also shocked at the low reviews, the game has its problems, but it isn't terrible. I am going to do a quick run down.

Gameplay = Super fun and addicting gameplay. The compat is fun and balanced.    I am also shocked at the low reviews, the game has its problems, but it isn't terrible.

    Gameplay = Super fun and addicting gameplay. The compat is fun and balanced. 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

    the other reviews here are way to harsh for such a polished title.    … Expand

    I think gamers have become spoiled and do not give new IPS a chance which is why we get so many re runs. Been playing since the 14th. Graphics are great. Are there bugs yes mainly with the loading of missions and the clunky ways to get the missions. But flying your Killer Robot and laying waste to the enemy either solo or group is hard to match. The flight controls are wicked fun. II think gamers have become spoiled and do not give new IPS a chance which is why we get so many re runs. Been playing since the 14th. Graphics are great.

People want everything all at once but then what is left if you get everything you desire at the start? There is much potential and I am having fun. Gaming after all is entertainment. not whining about what you want. If you want something that bad make something better. I like it. The insane amount of customization options is crazy fun and my Ranger looks AMAZING. As an older gamer I have learned not to be too picky.

    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

    I really wanted the game to succeed. And I still want the game to succeed. But current state of the game is tragical. There are too many technical issues and also boring and uniform loot, same missions mechanics all over again and all the bosses in game are just titans. Anthem currently lacks variability. It feels rushed. I'm really disappointed.

    At first, it seems like the game has a lot of potential. And for the first hour or so, it's great. However, the cracks quickly show after that.
    The combat, while fun for a while, is repetitive, and lacking in many tells and features that make other looter-shooter games fun to play. For example, enemies rarely make sound, so they can just sneak up behind you unknowingly. Shielded enemies, which you must get behind to attack, can turn on a dime, ruining your strategy. Those are just a few things wrong with the combat.
    The dialogue fares no better. It never feels like any of your choices matter, and it rarely helps you learn about the world, or the people who inhabit it.
    The open world, while visually stunning, is always the same environment no matter where you are. Everywhere looks the exact same. However, I can praise the verticality of it, as that is something I wish more games did.
    The loading times are atrocious. I can make myself a sandwich in the amount of time it takes to load anything.
    Do I even need to bring up the Tombs mission? It's simply a way to pad out the game length by forcing freeplay. And by making all of the requirements to complete it specific per player, like "open x chests", and it doesn't count if a teammate does it, it completely goes against the very nature of these kinds of games.
    The game is an unfinished mess. And don't say "Patches will fix it". Patches cannot fix problems that are so deeply rooted in the design of the game. It may be able to shave seconds off of loading times, or fix bugs, but the game is how it is. No amount of new content will change that.
    The live service model was always a terrible model for a game. Not only asking players to buy unfinished slop, but then creating artificial addiction by constantly adding content, rather than creating engaging gameplay.
    I will never be supporting any live service game again.
    Also, looks like EA has their bots out, in hopes to raise the score.    … Expand

    I love games where I have to invest time and in turn makes me feel someone who is becoming more and more powerful. Anthem makes a good job at this and this and that is important in every game. Having the feeling of becoming someone
    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

With poor enemy AI and small their variability, combat quickly becomes bored. Main story short and not impressive, and after game can offer only loot grind with already boring combats and 3 "dungeons". Thats all. And loading screens, you better love them.… Expand

There is nothing new or original in this game and it is not even well done. For being such a massive game it takes forever to download. The weapons in this game feels like they are all the same and they feel like peashooters and the javalines are unintressting to play.

    So, I was seeing these “best 2018 PC games” and spotted Anthem as it was something new for me: jet packs, exoskeletons – looked intriguing. Also, any complicated equipment means restrictions in the real life and this means tactics or at least different skills for different kind of equipment . I love tactics, so I was looking for the game and even made a pre-order.

    My expectations were high so the reality was underwhelming: this equipment hardly needs any kind of skills. And game creators obviously believe grinding is fun. It is not for me.

    I had high hopes for this game and gave it a shot by way of Origin Premier, but it fell short - so very short. It's like the game can't decide what it is and it's missing so many key features that are important in the genre (Destiny, The Division etc). Hopefully Bioware (and EA) will do something about it, because if they get this game in shape, I'm down in a split-second.

So updated Pros and Cons,

    Pros: Flying, Combat, Graphics, Exploration,

    Negatives: Repetition, Loading Screens, Lackluster Loot(non endgame), Mediocre Story, Slow movement speed in fort Taris, Overpriced Skins and Micro-transactions

    Final thought: This game has potential promise but its not worth 60.00 is its current state. Wait for it to be on sale.

    Update Feb 25, 2019 at 3:30pm EST. Just completed my first stronghold and guess what this trash game said connection error as soon as the boss died and took me back to the loading screen and i got absolutely nothing for my 2 hour effort. This game is absolutely garbage bioware and EA have both failed the gaming community. Yet Again the only thing left to do is just simply do not buy games from this company. Just trash im so triggered and there is nothing i can do because i bought a digital copy of this broken glitchy game with a loading screen for everything. I seriously hope someone can sue them into the ground for this game.

    This game had/has potential, Right now this game is hot garbage, there are only 2 Objectives in the game. GO fetch, of Go defend, with a boss or higher level bullet sponge sprinkled in. Right now I am Currently level 10, The first stronghold is unlocked for me, which if you played the beta, it is the beta stronghold. 10x Enemies basic enemies do absurd amount of damage and makes it basically unbeatable. The game is extremely repetitive mission to mission are identical in objective basically. Now its not as bad as Umbrella Corps but damn near close second.

    There are other things that I currently have issue with in this game. Number 1 damage output vs damage received. Example Using you the Colossus Javelin, you have no overshield just a health bar. That doesn't regenerate on its own. not even a smidge. Enemies can shoot you across the map with an auto cannon and take whole bars with each individual bullet. however if you attempt to shoot from the same distance with an auto cannon the damage you do is negligible. This is not a nit pick, this is core issue with combat in the game basic enemies can decimate you from any distance where is you are fighting mini bosses all the time.

    I will say this on the positive note. The game looks amazing. The graphics are probably the best there is currently on PS4 Pro. The flight and movement are also pretty damn fun, minus the lack of flight time but there are boosts you can use to help with that. To me that is the only thing this game is good for the graphics and the movement/exploration.

    Back to another thing that is really bad is the hit detection, as i said before any enemy can decimate you and its so trash how fast you will get put down, The game doesn't even tell where you getting hit from. you'll be in combat with infinite spawning enemies, then all of a sudden be downed and be quite puzzled on how you got put down almost instantly.

    Lastly the lack luster firepower of the ultimates, Anyone who has played you know the enemies with the blue shield that either fire a laser sniper rifle or auto cannon. I feel like its fair to say that one blast from my ultimate should obliterate that enemy well guess what not only did this 1 enemy take 1 blast from the colossus. it took all 3 shots and still had life left. That is absolutely unacceptable. Extremely dumb the enemy isn't even a boss but eats ultimates like its pez candy. This game to me is beyond dumb and i will simply wait for Ubisoft to show me what they got with The division 2.

    Bottomline: DO NOT!!!!!!!!! pay 60.00 for this game. Wait till you can get it for a bargain 30.00 or lower and it would maybe be worth it.    … Expand

I don't know, but I have hardly any issues with the PC version as compared to the Xbox version. I've rolled this with my crew on Xbox, and ran into tons of server issues, game glitches, and several other issues. But all in all, the PC version has been a fun experience. AS for the game, the scenery is awesome, the story is interesting. The voice acting is pretty good, but I have heard worse. Not everyone has the power of Commander Shepherd, or Marcus Fenix. When you start to level up, you need to increase your threat level. After a certain point, Hard, is not really that hard at all. So you need to take it up a notch. That would be my only complaint. If you are playing this on normal, your're a newb, or don't like a challenge. Other than that, it's a really fun game to explore with your friends. I have my Setting at Ultra, with a solid 62fps. Running a GTX1060 6gig Over Clocked, and AMD Ryzen7 8 core 3.2. Currently only 16gigs of DDR4 3200, and a 1tb SSD. Very pleased with the game, and having fun. Oh, just a point of interest, you don't need to make micro-transactions. They are there if you would like, but I didn't do that. I just hold on to my money until I have what I want to get what I want. Nobody is putting a gun to your head to buy something. And if you are too impatient to wait, that sounds like another issue for your psychiatrist. I personally will not spend money on the transactions if I can just earn it. To complain about the micro-transactions is just childish. You do not have to pay to play, cause it isn't like those items make you stronger. Go earn some coin running contracts down. As a team with friends is the best way to earn tons of extra coin. I was only part of the way through the story when I bought a bunch of items for my Javelin. Also, just join Origin Access Premier, and pay that little monthly fee, and get the Legion of Dawn edition with the subscription. So you pay, like $12, for a month. If you don't like the game, all of the other Origin games are there for you. Or if you don't like any of it, cancel the subscription, and you lost only the $12. Didn't pay full price for the game, and then you can complain about that as well. But seriously, the game is fun, and I just shared a way for you to get access to the Legion of Dawn Edition, for less than the price of the full game. And an easy way to get out of it if you don't like it. Boom goes the dynamite. People are making life to be way more difficult than it really is. I hope this helps at least some of you. And to the people saying it is nothing new, well, is anything anymore? I have been playing video games since years before a lot of you were born. I have been through the, been there done that, years and years now. Absolutely nothing coming out is new. Except the graphics. They keep on getting better. You look for a game that is fun to play. Period. Nothing is new anymore. I think a lot of you are crying over the fact there is no PVP. Well, that is a good thing. The game was designed to teach you to help each other, and watch your teams backs. It is about friendship and redemption. I actually though the story was decent, but I oh well.

    So the only things that are not good to me is these bugs and AI and the fact that we still don't know the quality of what's coming. (maybe take advice from Digital Extreme ^^)

    I'm going to continue getting bloody good time on this game for a long moment i hope :)    … Expand

    The AAA industry has to change, Editors need to listen to their developers, and developers need to listen to their communities so they cannot afford to release a 90% finished game.
    BUT we cannot afford as gamers, especially in the west, to act like resentful, spoiled children or the giants of the industry will look up for more lenient communities( like on the chinese market, cf Activision-Blizzard).
    We need to grow up together and be grateful for all the hard work of the amazing creators on the Gaming Industry. Thank you.    … Expand

I looked, probably, all the available reviews on Youtube, read all the possible reviews, even played in the demo version, but still could not make a definite conclusion for myself. Now, as you can see, the conclusion is still made - I bought the game and without hiding, I can honestly say: I liked it! No, I didn’t just like it, I'm delighted! I do not agree with any statement about the fact that the game is not so built up dialogues and players are bored to walk and talk with NPCs that do not give you any third-party tasks.Instead of bombing about this, I walked around the fort of Tarsis and studied, looked, admired, listened to the dialogues that reveal to us the ENT of this game. I delivered it! No, I am not a fan of Bioware, and in Mass effect I played only the first part. The game itself is, of course, not only the stories of "local residents", but also a shooter in the open world. Let's get to the point. I was not knocked out any task in this game. Do you know why? Because I did not have high expectations from the game. A few years ago I was waiting for the Division.And that she disappointed me, upset me, I played it on the strength of 10 hours put the disc on the shelf and since then he has been there. I don’t want to write now about what everyone already knows about - costumes, javelins, abilities - this is sucked up in every video, in every article. Everything has been studied and duplicated, personally I have no desire. In the end, I can only say that this grindil game in the open world, which I liked, is the essence, the concept, the open world itself, I want to dive all over again and again. I myself have not encountered optimization problems, although the computer is not with top-end hardware. Once I lost the sound, there were a couple of delays, but then you can sin on my Internet connection sometimes gives tricks. What saddens a lot of players is poor optimization, again, which I have not encountered. Maybe I was lucky, I do not know. Secondly, in my opinion in this game there must be some kind of PVP component. In my opinion, this would add to the game rating as a minimum. That is, in the end, to achieve the maximum level, players could not only farm strongest, but also entertain themselves with battles against each other.There is no information that this will be, but as for me the idea is very personal. In the end - my score is 10 out of 10, in a sign that the game is now undeservedly heytyat and merged due to the fact that it can be and will be finalized, corrected, finished. Real sensations on 9 out of 10. Thank you!… Expand

Classic bad guy wants to gain ultimate power and we have to stop him kind of thing least for now since this is going to be an ever growing story. You will need to keep in mind that this is not a single player RPG while playing this though so dont expect your actions to have an impact on this since its a shared world between all players. Though your side conversations with npcs in Fort Tarsis will have different outcomes from other players but im not sure if you will see it affect the story. There are loading screens but bioware has mentioned multiple times that they are working on shortening them. Dont listen to the people complaining about the tombs mission as bioware made it so that everything required for the mission is tracked from level 3 and onward. They have listened to our feedback from the early access and have implemented a fair bit of it that they could in a short time. Some of the other things we have requested and reported as an issue will take a longer time to fix. Taking all of this into consideration I think the game is worth the money for the enjoyment I have gotten out of it. Ive put around 70 hours between the early access and the demo and the game is still very enjoyable.… Expand

If the game had been gold plated and came delivered by a unicorn riding upon a cloud of goodwill certain segments of the gaming community would have hated it no matter what. However looking beyond all this nonsense I watched actual game play and developer streams, Q&A and made up my own mind rather than let some click bait nonsense on YouTube try and convince me EA was the devil or Bioware suck cos they should have done another Mass Effect instead of Anthem. Overwhelmingly the 0 reviews are clearly written by those who have only dipped into the demo or who haven't played the game at all, social media is hilarious with its "commentators" telling me I shouldn't play the game or buy it because they haven't and wont because its and "EA" title but then proceed to right lengthy reviews on how bad it is form a stand point of, well absolutely no experience of it whatsoever. In contrast to those negative reviews I am thoroughly enjoying the world of Anthem as am all the friends I am playing with. The game plays beautifully on PS4, I've had no issues whatsover and the gameplay is exciting, creative and most of all fun. Storylines are well crafted and engaging and there is so much to do in the world it is incredible. Anthem is one of the most beautiful looking games I have played and the four different Javelins make for a different experience in gameplay and style depending on which you decide to play. The inclusion of seamless flight extends the combat and exploration in new and exciting ways and blasting off from Fort Tarsis to explore what lies ahead is a real thrill. So I am sorry that so many of you seem to be playing a completely different game to me and many of those who I see writing about their positive experiences with the game. My tip, go buy a copy and take it out of the box and actually play it, you might just find you like it. As for me, Ill leave it here, I've got some Titans to hunt.… Expand

Gráficamente es un deleite visual, no es el mejores de la generación en este aspecto pero si hace parte de los mejores.

    The bad:

    -Said loading screens are absolutely everywhere

    -The mission hub is lifeless, and characters are all 1-dimensional stereotypes
    -You have 0 input on the story
    -3 different types of missions
    -Enemies appear out of nowhere, and often disappear right in front of you
    -Even itemization is lacking; You get maybe 2-3 variations on each gadget or extra weapon, with only about 7-8 variations on main weapons, and beyond that they're just rarity and level tiered
    -The environments are utterly unvaried; they consist of valley and cave, and nothing more

As in my entire computer froze and the only way to fix it was to turn off the power... I am actually scared of launching the game as it may suddenly and unexpectedly cause damage to my computer.

    But that's not all!

    When i finally got it to work - i tried online... and was welcomed with an infinite loading screen (which they stated had been fixed on the day-1 patch... this is not the case) causing me to Alt-F4. When i did eventually get into a game it was a horrible laggy mess, where rubber banding occurred every few seconds - making the game literally unplayable. I live in Australia with fairly good internet, i am used to some desync but this is on a whole new level. For a game that is advertised as a multiplayer game - it has absolutely no ability to do so.

    But wait! There's more!

    The store gave me access to some pre-order legion of dawn items (that i redeem in game) including a rifle and decal. However, this morning all of those items were removed from my inventory - which i can no longer access. My javelin's appearance was also reset... When i attempting to readjust my appearance in game - the game immediately crashed. I then rebooted the game and attempted this again - same result. I then repaired/ verified the games data - no change.

    Anthem is advertised as a full release - as in a complete product. This game is insult to actually fully developed games.

    This is without mentioning the terribly repetitive mission design which in its entirety ranges from: Defend an area, Fetch quests, Kill (x) enemy - Repeat.

    I'm a fan of Bioware, i don't even mind EA - i own the vast majority of their games and do not have any particular bias... A businesses main goal is to make money however they see fit, fine. But to release a garbage product of this scale is inexcusable.

    Result:
    Do not purchase this game under any circumstance (at least not at this time) it is an unfinished mess that has no place on the market and does not even approach an acceptable standard. With the collective scores from both critics and users being so low, it is very likely this game will go on sale in the near future.    … 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.

    TL;DR
    I like it. YouTuber's hate it. Watch gameplay on Twitch or spend $15 (PC only) to try it for a week and decide for yourself.    … Expand

    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

    Отличная игра! Костюмы это просто гениально! Управление, стрельба, графика, все на высоте. Контент допилят, да и сейчас в игре есть, чем заняться. Глубокий интересный лор, запоминающиеся персонажи. Не слушайте злые языки и всяких ворчунов, будет интересно и увлекательно!Отличная игра! Костюмы это просто гениально!

    A great game with even greater potential. The core game play is one of the best co-op experiences ever made. The game play, graphics, sound track are top notch. There is no Pay2Win cash shop, the only optional microtransaction purchases are 100% cosmetic and you can easily earn any cosmetic via game play, and best of all, all future content is 100% free. You will never be nickle andA great game with even greater potential. The core game play is one of the best co-op experiences ever made. The game play, graphics, sound track are top notch.

    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.
