   Отличная игра, стоит каждого потраченного рубля. Если вам нравится играть с друзьями и весело проводить время, однозначно для вас. Не стоит сравнивать с другими играми типа Дестини или Дивижн, Антем это нечто другое.… Expand

While 2.0 will be brilliant and I want it, the game is great normally and the game is good to play and feels unique, not much to change.

As this is a game as a service, the roadmap for new content/end game/cataclysms looks interesting but uncertain.
   
   Unfortunately, for a Bioware game, the main story presentation is pretty rough so far. Some of the short stories and side quests have fantastic writing, characters, and twists, but the presentation and interaction are very limited.
   
   Also, I had a ton of bugs in the "demo"/beta weekends, but most have been resolved.
   
   Overall, I think this is a very fun game with limited content and story at the moment.… Expand

   At times Anthem is enjoyable, it is just unfortunate that those times are few and far between.
   
   Anthem is effectively a four-person,At times Anthem is enjoyable, it is just unfortunate that those times are few and far between.
   
   Anthem is effectively a four-person, instanced; squad shooter. The bulk of the action takes place within instanced missions, or strongholds (dungeons). These can be fun, especially on higher difficulty levels; however the objectives consistently boil down to 1. Kill everything, 2. Fetch this, or 3. Kill everything & fetch this. This is not uncommon, but other games in this genre try to present these objectives in an engaging way. In Anthem, they are presented lazily.
   
   This all gets tiresome quickly.
   
   Yes - flying in a robotic suit, firing missiles, hitting combos; and shooting machine guns is fun.. but there is no real depth here.
   
   There is little incentive to play at higher difficult levels other than for thechallenge. In other looter shooters you are rewarded by the increased chance of better gear or loot; that isn’t the case here.
   
   The game is also disjointed. The menu layout is unintuitive, there are long load times, you have to return to Fort Tarsis (your base of operation) far too frequently, you cant swap equipment in-mission, sound stops and starts in big firefights, the javelin controls are a bit peculiar (there is no ascent option, you have to move forwards if you want to fly up; thus prepare to hit a lot of walls). I could go on. Basically, all of these frustrations pull you out of what could have been a good game.. if there was any game there to have. This is just a lot of interesting sci-fi shooter ideas, poorly executed.
   
   There are some bizarre design choices. Fort Tarsis (your base of operation) is purely singleplayer. You have to actively travel to (load) a separate social area to engage with other players. Why not integrate the two ala Destiny?
   
   Customisation is good, and there are a number of components, weapons, grenades etc.. which shows potential for customising a build. However, you are still effectively pigeon holed into a specific part of the class spectrum (Rogue: Interceptor, Mage: Storm, Tank: Gladiator, Generalist: Ranger).
   
   All in all - this feels more like a demo than a fully fleshed out game. The fact that this was released at full price is shocking.
   
   I give this game a 4 because it can be entertaining (and I only paid £5 for it), but it needs a complete re-work.… Expand

   before i begin i totally see myself might re-reviewing ths game again in the future. this game deserves a 6/10 at its current state (launch)!before i begin i totally see myself might re-reviewing ths game again in the future. this game deserves a 6/10 at its current state (launch)! it has a lot of issues to be fixed the game is a total mess ive even had to open youtube after a cutscene cuz in the middle of the cutscene the game has stuck and then "disconnected from the EA servers" how lame ! but other than that the game is definitely not polished i have to mention the fact that EA should STOP using the frostbite engine for everything they own! frostbite is not made for games such as ME, Anthem or any bioware game at all !!!! i see a ton of issues that im sure the developers would've done amazing things if not that FPS engine ( not that im complaining the game is outstandingly beautiful but its not designed for these kinda games!) !!! anyhow im still going to play this game a lot the combat is addictive and amazing ! the customization is superb ! and the expedition is beautiful. but the story in this game is so basic and we didnt get much from the interesting stuff, i also heard bioware had to cut a ton of content because the publishers told them to and thats just awful! and all of the characters arent that interesting or memorable even though i really tried to like the characters but it didnt work ! and not to mention that the people in the world are just unreadable or matching the whole world like why is fort tarsis a middle eastern look with british/ american/ russian citizens ??? i dont get the whole concept with the all HUB area doesnt add up, at least tell us in the story how the world of anthem goes... anyhow lets get to a conclusion i still enjoy playing this game ! im totaly going to spend more time with it and would definitely be happy to see new content in the future i love all the javelins they are all fun and very balanced (my fav is the storm and ranger these 2 are so fun for me but i havent tried the colossus and interceptor yet even though i have all the javelins rn but ill get to them within progress haha) and they way you customize the javelins is so fun and unique ! and the gameplay is super fun ! for real the whole flying thing with the javelins makes D2 feel like a baby with those sparrows(but dont take me wrong i gave D1&D2 a 9/10 i have been playing these games for a long period and same with warframe which i gave a 10/10 and also warframe has jetpacks) and just because the flying and gameplay and combat in anthem is so fun this makes me want to play it more !!! and the whole loot system, yeah this game has recycled loot only with different ranks and all of them look pretty much the same... anyhow this game couldve been a whole lot better if bioware would have not used the frostbite engine and showed a middle finger at EA and used their own engine ! i really love bioware i have been playing their games for many years of my life ! and i am tired of AAA publishers always trying to make T rated games so kids could use their parents credit card for microtransactions and these T rated games are so effortless (battleroyal and fifa for example) if they want to succeed they should open their minds and make more M rated games with no rubbish monetization schemes and ways to nickle and dime people in the most greedy way as possible and i know that the bioware team is super talented in making awesome games ! but at least from now on im not going to buy and EA game for full price or wont buy an EA game in general that publisher used to be an awesome competitor to activision but now EA is on the list of my stay away titles together with ubisoft, bethesda, and of-course activision! i really wanted to love this game and i know bioware can do a fantastic job i know they could ! but the past EA entries i just seem to give up on them and will probably keep my doubts for the nex titanfall even ! anyhow i hope EA and bioware will learn from this and i really am looking for more content in the future for anthem :)! 6/10
   
   UPDATE: had to downgrade the score and give it a 2/10 the game just got worse! i feel like bioware is shooting themselves in the foot! i really love bioware but todays bioware is just a disaster! i wish i could love this game but i just cant anymore ! it crashes my ps4 everytime i play it ! there is absolutely nothing to do in the game after you finish the campaign, and the game itself is buggy AF!!!! its so buggy the game itself is a huge bug!!! anyhow im out of space here but please do your self a favor and stay away from this game ! PLAY WARFRAME !! trust me you wont regret it its more polished and its free and the microtransactions are worth it (you dont have to even buy microtransactions in warframe you can just grind the game doesnt force you to pay, anthem indeed does force you to pay more than what you already bought plus anthem is way more trash than warframe !) anyhow dont spend your time and money on anthem go to warframe!… Expand

Go on Reddit to the r/AnthemTheGame or r/LowSodiumAnthem subreddits and prepare to laugh your ass off as people do the most amazing mental gymnastics you'll ever see.
   
   "Huh? Bioware finally came out with the half-assed content they were supposed to 3 months ago? Why that means they still care about this game! Because you know, releasing content multiple months late in such an anticlimactic way somehow means this game's obviously going to have a FFXIV-like reboot!"
   
   "What's that? The developers decided to not post here anymore right after release? Why, it's because of the haters constantly bashing the game and the company! Certainly not because Bioware acted like little **** the moment people pointed out how the literal hundreds of flaws that makes the game not even worth $20! If you haters would've just sat there and ate your bowl of **** like the rest of us fans you wouldn't be so angry!"
   
   "What's this? Various people including the leads of Anthem have left Bioware during development and after release? Good riddance! Who needs people that have been with the company for almost 20 years & know what they're doing? Out with the old, in with the...oh, the positions of the people that left are still empty after all this time? Don't worry about filling them in! They'll figure it out somehow! They have Bioware Magic on their side after all!"
   
   "Really? You decided to cancel the planned bonus content that was supposed to come out and instead to replace them with seasonal events that are literally just lazy reskins of the thing that came out 3 months too late & the same base content that was in the game since launch? Why that's an amazing idea! That way I can grind and grind for hundreds of hours on the literal same maps doing menial tasks that are made insanely long just to pad out the playtime! Can't wait to have missions where I have to kill 1000 enemies, then 2500 enemies and then 5000 enemies that ultimately serves no purpose whatsoever because Bioware is that desperate to have people play their game for more than an hour before realizing that they're just wasting time!"
   
   "Oh, and please don't mention all of the bugs, glitches, game crashes and disconnection problems the game has had since day 1. That triggers me because I can't justify those, which makes me realize that the game I spend 20 hours a day on isn't perfect."
   
   I honestly haven't seen a gaming fanbase this idiotic, desperate & pathetic since Evolve's. Fitting for a game that's also on its' way to becoming dead like Evolve.… Expand
