    The RPG elements are a let down, there is 2 choices to pick and no indication on how it'll effect the story

    Combat is where this game earns it's points, flying around and engaging numerous foes is a lot of fun, but there there could be more variation of weapons and skills

    Customization is not as detailed as I'd like, it's mostly just color swap with 2 Armour sets per Javelin (1 of witch costs €10) so if they plan to add more they better make it more accessible.

    Overall this game will be a GOTY candidate so long as the address
    -Story
    -World building
    -More depth to Customization
    -More Forts to attack
    -Improved RPG elements(I mean you don't even have a name in this game)

    but overall it's a good game    … Expand

    I have just started playing Anthem, and in my opinion, it had a decent concept, beautiful visuals and nice mechanics. However the final product of this game was not well executed, whenever I try to move, jump, dash or fly, it teleports me back to where i was a few seconds ago. Sometimes I cannot shoot my weapon, and what annoys me most is that it forces me back into the menu, saying that II have just started playing Anthem, and in my opinion, it had a decent concept, beautiful visuals and nice mechanics.

Because of this I am forced to do the entire mission again from the very beginning, and the teleporting/latency does not help.

    Like what many others have said, this game had so much potential, but that potential was not used, and the bugs that Bioware could not be bothered to fix ruins this game. If another update was to be released and this game was to be a fixed, good game, then my rating would be higher.    … Expand

Anthem is the latest Bioware game to come out and it definitely stinks of EA. The always online servers, the fact you have to beware that there’s a chance that it’ll just shut off your PS4. Which no matter how fun the game is when you see these stories coming out it will be in the back of your mind. That being said I still had a bunch of fun when it came down to it.

    Anthem has one of those ancients created old technology and we must stop baddy from accessing it. For some reason almost all Sci-fi games fall on this trope and I am not sure why. Regardless I was still enjoying the story. While your character never is more than a cypher that CAN TALK they never are more than a snarky badass. Your AI mission helpers/quest givers are full of personality and fun. I did enjoy the talking bits much more than I thought I would. Unlike Destiny, which this game is ripping off partly. They explain the plot right there not once did I wonder why I was doing anything, or why I was killing these villains. Yet again unlike Destiny they have multiple cutscenes that function like little exposition movies that are beautiful and entertaining to watch.

    Speaking of beautiful this game looks amazing. I was in awe by the scope and look of each plant and explosion. The gameplay is if you were Iron Man on a distant planet blowing aliens to pieces. It is a third person action game with a dash of RPG in the mix. Of course it has loot drops for better weapons and you can play raids with friends, or even the story missions. What I adore was the fact that I could just play the story missions solo and not feel like I was being forced to play online. At least Bioware had the good sense to let me play their games how I want and not how EA wants.

    Overall the game is a lot of fun, and with friends I could see the replay value through the roof. Yet if you’re me I don’t see myself going through this story more than once. It is more fleshed out then say Destiny is, but nowhere near how any other Bioware game typically is. I would say this game would be a great RENTAL. Play it over the weekend and send it back to Gamefly/Redbox you won’t be disappointed with it.    … Expand

    They could have done so much more with this game and it leaves you wondering why there isn't more. Guess when you waste 6 years trying to make decisions and 1 actually putting the game together you get Anthem.

    I played it, wanted to keep playing it but much like other botched rollouts that involve EA I have moved on till something happens or improves the game.

The load screens are my biggest issue with the game,you get stuck in load screens more than you get to play,thats a fact. Ive played missions that from the start,after a load screen puts me into another load screen to teleport me to my team and it happens constantly,it makes no sense,you can be close enough to see your team and it will teleport you,its so frustrating. Every action you take in this game involves a load screen. The missions are ALL exactly the same,do yourself a favor,wait 6 months a pick this up on sale.… Expand

If you enjoyed Mass Effect's combat style then you will probably like Anthem's combat. The story, yes not compelling but it's not really supposed to be in this style of shared experience game. Don't expect a rich story or deep characters, expect fun content and good visuals. My rating of a six is based largely on the fact that I found this game to be next to unplayable on Xbox One. I upgraded to an Xbox One X and the experience is much better. I full expect there to be some future support for Anthem, the 'games as a service' model has worked very well for Ubi and I think we will see EA on that bandwagon as well with this title.… Expand

    I had a blast playing the game with friends. Co-op is for sure the right way to play this game! Graphics and gameplay are 8 or 9 out of 10 on ps4 FAT. Dont expect the same graphics from PC on the consoles. Still, its amazin how detailed the world of Anthem is... fly through cannons, water falls, dive into lakes, caves, its definitely beautiful.

Dont expect the same graphics from PC on the consoles. Still, its amazin how detailed the world of Anthem is... fly through cannons, water falls, dive into lakes, caves, its definitely beautiful.

    Comparing the gameplay with Destiny and The Division, Anthem is MUCH MORE fun than those two, specially when you select harder dificulties later on. Its really challenging and teamplay is essencial.

    Unfortunately, the major mechanics of the game are broken. The loot system seems quite unimpressive, even when you defeat hard stances (called fortress here), boring items, few weapons designs (even the same models with diferent stats... LAZY!). Before the launch, Bioware showed us tons of cosmetic appearances for us to choose and buy with in-game money or real money if you want. Where are those? Cosmetic shop is a JOKE! Not even woth spend time farming for those items.

    Loading screens are also stupid! Imo, its look like they had problems during the production of Anthem, because there is 5 types of zones that needs loading every 10-20 minutes:

    1 - NPC area (where you grab your quests, talk to NPC for missions and choose stupid dialogues that there is NONE repercussion in the game. Like, why they implemented it? Its useless..
    2 - Lobby area. You can meet other random players here. A small garage with some short cut to grab contracts, use your vault, and etc... its basicaily Social area of Destiny 10x worse.
    3 - FORGE. YES, you need a load screen to access your itens. Never seen this in my life... one thing is prevent switch equipments during a misson (im ok with that 100%). Other is a damn loading screen in and out of the inventory.
    4 - Loading screen for world map.
    5 - Loading screen for dungeons and sarcophagus rooms (yeah you know what im talking about LOL).

    Map is almost useless. Cant ping, cant mark, no N/S/E/W, no world events mark, no nothing. Crap!

    Imo, every one who is in doubt of grabbing this game should wait until the major patch coming in april or may, OR at least fix these issues that i mentioned.

    Like i said, gameplay wise its the best loot shooter game in this generation, but all the other thing are poor.

Titles like KH3 can breeze by with a bad plot, repetitive game-play, meh graphics, and horrific voice acting but games like Anthem are bombed because some random idiots get all worked up because it isn't perfection.

    In short the bugs and glitches are minimal. The lore is interesting and well represented in the world around you. Flying around in a custom mech suit with your friends is a blast. Combat requires thought and the application of different strategies and skills. It can get repetitive for sure but no one has really reached end game yet and there is a lot of potential for depth there.

    - Edit. I have lowered my score some on this one and added a little context. The bugs have become problematic. I stand by my statement that the game has a solid core, fun game play, and unique premise but am willing to concede that the technical errors, especially this far in, are not really acceptable.    … Expand

From the scores and from the potentially poor sales numbers the game is receiving, people have had it with games being launched in a state that would make the word Alpha blush. I don't care how ambitious your game is, I don't care what road bumps came up during development; it is unethical and simply bad business practice to release a game that is not ready. If the game isn't ready THEN DON'T RELEASE IT. Simple. Why I seem frustrated is because this game at it's core is very fun and very addictive. It had the chance to be a great looter shooter with a robust gameplay loop. Instead the developers have decided to keep dicking around with the player base and keep the loot economy crippled, despite everyone's incessant call for loot changes, Bioware had decided that they know best, and their game will fail for it. Bioware doesn't have the luxury of debating game direction with their fans. They are lucky to still have any at all. I would say simply that unless you are a die-hard looter shooter fan like me, steer clear of this title. If you want a looter shooter fill then maybe try out Division 2. Hopefully it launches in a better state.… Expand

And the feeling of getting something great is amazing and really jumps up your strength. The environments, even not very varied, are amazing and believable.

    The characters are great, well acted, and interesting.

    The story is a real let down, it feels unfinished anti-climatic, dull.

    The flying feels great, but it's extremely limited flight time is a real irritation for no apparent reason.

    The combat/ abilities are good, each javelin feels unique and useful.

    The loot is boring, doesn't seem to matter much, an absolute death knell for this kind of game, how do you screw that up? Definitely something they can fix though.

    The voice chat is very poor and doesn't seem like anyone even tries to use it anymore, there is no written chat, this game feels very much like you are playing alone, not a good thing for this kind of game, this game is hurt by it's poorly functioning online features and offers no benefit in return. Bad bad bad.

    I can see this game turning into something great once it's finished, but it's certainly not there yet.    … Expand

    I would set 10 but for you enjoy the Anthem you need has a lot of patience. Well, below I says why my score for Anthem will be 5 instead of 10:

    1. A lot of connection BUG experience. Tons n 'tons of connection issues that screw up the fast paced gameplay. 10-1 = 9 2. Bastion is the same place independent where (location) you stay. Never changes the envirorment .... The promisse was    I would set 10 but for you enjoy the Anthem you need has a lot of patience. Well, below I says why my score for Anthem will be 5 instead of 10:

    1. A lot of connection BUG experience. Tons n 'tons of connection issues that screw up the fast paced gameplay. 10-1 = 9

    2. Bastion is the same place independent where (location) you stay. Never changes the envirorment .... The promisse was that Anthem should be big open world. 9-1 = 8

    3. This game would be amazing. Anthem had potential to be better. The idea is great and Anthem try tell this .. sometimes I think that Anthem / Bioware is a slave of EA imprisoned to do less only for release on the date promised. 8-1 = 7

    4. Always a wild loading screen appears (for no reason, because bastion's little world). If you want to enter in some cave the loading screen appears. If you try join friends whatever mission the loading screen appear again, again, again and when you least expect it Anthem crashs. (some people says that today's better than Anthem release) experience. 7-1 = 6

    5. EA abandoned Anthem. This game is totally outdate ... without new quests, challenges .... 6 - 1 = 5

    So, Anthem is fun, but you will have to had patience to enjoy.    … Expand

    There’s an intriguing game buried somewhere in Anthem, lying broken beneath its loot and structural frustrations like chunks of fossilised dinosaur bone.

    Even if I ignore all the bugs, glitches and disconnects I had, Anthem is still, by and large, a mediocre game. The lackluster story, loot system and gameplay make this game one to pass on. At least in its current state.

    Though it’s one of best-looking titles on PS4, Anthem’s uninspired action and obsession with grindy tasks mean BioWare’s mechs aren’t on song. [Issue#160, p.83]
