    I'd say it's better than destiny - graphics and storyline as well as game mechanics are more fun.

    That said, it's not Bioware RPG and it has it's annoying moments. Mind you, I played only after the first set of patches released.

    not a bad Game but Neither a masterpiece, as of now, the fun factor makes up for 90% of the Score.

    Not a bad game...not earth-shattering, but it's fun with friends. Glad to see that Bobby Kotick still has enough employees to flood Metacritic, however.

    The ridiculous number of negative reviews are a testament to the double standard we hold for our open world triple A titles. Anthem is a solid game. Is it a master piece? No. Is it fun and engaging with a unique premise and fun game play? Yes.

Anthem is a solid game. Is it a master piece? No. Is it fun and engaging with a unique premise and fun game play? Yes. 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

    Anthem is a shared-world action-RPG in which players delve into a vast world teeming with amazing technology and forgotten treasures. The world is also filled with savage beasts and ruthless marauders where Freelancers are called to defeat the forces plotting to conquer humanity

And with that said I'd like to point out the positive: the traversal part of the game is the best ever in a game. They auto-correct flight, auto-correct landing, every detail and polish in that part is beyond incredibly done! 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. For now, it won't sustain your attention for longer than a few tens of hours, but if they keep going at it there's such a strong base that it has the potential to become of the best looter-shooters out there.… Expand

    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

    -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)

And yes it's probably the case of a lot of people gaming. So If your are a hardcore gamer playing every days or several time a week, this game is probably not for you. Wait 6 months a check the reviews done after some updates. And make yourself a judgment again (believe it or not this game has potential but it has to prove it). For people like me well you will enjoy it.… Expand

    Anthem игра, которую я лично вообще не ждал, особенно после убогой ME: Andromeda от той же студии. Она вышла, и я её сразу же купил.....через год!
    И понял, что поступил очень правильно. Так как ранние отзывы ругали её за сырость и корявость. У многих игра многократно вылетала даже на PS4. Через год патчи всё починили, в игру стало приятно играть, ну лично мне.

    И понял, что поступил очень правильно. Так как ранние отзывы ругали её за сырость и корявость. У многих игра многократно вылетала даже на PS4. Через год патчи всё починили, в игру стало приятно играть, ну лично мне.
    Не починили только загрузки между уровней, они иногда очень долгие до 80 секунд. Может раньше были дольше, не знаю.
    Так же хочу упомянуть один, на мой взгляд, очень хамский поступок. Не знаю EA или самой BioWare. Игра продавалась, по крайней мере, в начале за 3990 руб, но для запуска требуется обязательно PS Plus (минимум 499 рублей). То есть с тебя требуют цену как за игру ААА класса, но платить надо ещё и за онлайн (обязательно) как в какой-нибудь фритуплейной игре. Ну не хамство ли? Тем более, почти всю игру можно пройти в одиночку, что я и сделал.
    Теперь о хорошем.
    Мне игра, в принципе, понравилась. Очень понравилось летать, что скажу я очень странно. Во всех играх, которые я видел полеты на самолетах, джавилинах и прочем реактивном транспорте это проклятие игры которое надо выстрадать, что бы её пройти! Всё время во что-то врезаешься, теряешься в пространстве. Здесь же всё работает!
    Отмечу сюжет, он достаточно хороший для кооперативной игры. Проблема в том, что подаётся он очень странно. Скажу сразу часов 5 в начале игры придется потерпеть и повыполнять тупые задания. Ровно до уровня, где надо посетить четыре гробницы легионеров. Это самый тупой и долгий уровень, на него я убил 4 часа игры. Хотел уже забросить игру, но неожиданно этот уровень прошелся (кто играл или будет играть поймет). И тут пошла движуха, сюжет полился, страсти закипели.
    Я думаю большинство отзывов с оценками от "0" до "3" связано именно с этим уровнем, люди не смогли его пройти, и засрали игру.
    Лицевая анимация мне тоже понравилась, особенно сравнивая с Andromeda.
    Шутерная часть тоже на высоте, стрелять интересно.
    Ещё хочу сказать о прокачке, она очень похожа на систему The Division и это здорово! Игра вообще структурно очень похожа на The Division.
    Враги. Ну, что враги как враги. Их не очень много разновидностей, к сожалению. Но есть и боссы.
    Графон на высоте. Frostbite 3 работает как надо. Единственное, иногда не прорисовываются маркеры заданий и карта сбоит.
    Но самое главное это конечно джавилины. Их четыре и открыть, если постараться, можно все. У меня получилось только два. У каждого своё оружие, свои плюсы и минусы.
    Кстати говоря, хотя Anthem делала BioWare состоящая в основном из женщин. Никакого феминизма в игре я не заметил.
    Советую пройти игру именно сейчас. Купить её можно сейчас рублей за 500 ну и PS Plus. Все, ну почти все, косяки устранены. Вылетов нет, игра проходится приятно. Был один раз разрыв с сетью, но это ерунда.    … Expand

    Is Anthem worth $3? Yes! Is it worth $60? NO! Because when the game came out, this version is a buggy, GLITCHY mess! Listen. The game is completely different to Destiny and it’s made by Mass Effect developer BioWare and it damaged their reputation as a great developer for EA. I am SO glad that EA has moved on to better games like Dead Space and Wild Hearts.

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.

    I'm really struggling to understand how some reviewers are saying the story is confusing and vague.
    If you take a few seconds to read the codex, it fills in any gaps you think are there.
    Bioware nails the characters, and the story is clear as day. It is told via codex, numerous cutscenes and constantly via the banter between you and our cypher, and through the vast number of fleshed out NPC's.
    Within the first 20 minutes the story hurls you into a clear narrative with fast paced action, and it continues to build from then on.
    It feels that reviewers are throwing Bioware under the bus, much like IGN did with Borderlands VR.
    I admit that the demo was terrible, and Bioware shouldn't have released an early build. I feel that many have reviewed it based on that, or are just wanting Bioware to fail for some childish reason.

    Fort Tarsis feels like a living and breathing hub. Ignore what reviewers have said about it getting in the way of action. They seem to forget that the much loved Mass Effect did the exact same thing with the various ports you'd visit.
    Whilst the forge gearing system can feel counterintuitive, it does makes sense. You equip yourself before heading out into battle. You character isn't going to be carrying 40 weapons to cycle through - so read your mission briefing and equip yourself accordingly. That's just common sense.
    Something just doesn't feel right with the way this game has been handled by the community.
    I started using the Interceptor, as its been lambasted as being the "worst". It ended-up being awesome and fun to play as, but I had to learn how to approach battles differently than I did with the Ranger. It felt completely different to me and when I unlocked the Storm, it felt like a whole new class (as it should), which made me reapproach my playstyle again to match its abilities and strengths.
    This is an incredible game, and I am loving the characters and feel connected to its world much like I did with Mass Effect 1-2, and Dragon Age. The gameplay mechanics are solid and levels well designed.
    If you are comparing it to Destiny for some reason, then you're wasting your time. It's completely different. Just go and play Destiny for that experience than comparing the two at every corner.
    Bioware has given us a beautiful and chaotic world with compelling characters.
    I'd highly recommend this title, and take caution when reading reviews from prominent websites.

I upgraded to an Xbox One X and the experience is much better.

I skip most of the storyline which says a lot. The seamless transition that was promised in this world is actually full of loading screens. For a game in the making for 6 years it’s not good enough. Fed up with devs releasing unfinished games then working in them over time. Might as well wait a few years then buy the complete game at half the cost.

    It's getting there, but slowly. It might be too late unless something major comes up.

    Got to much hate
    Anthem could have been great wich is probaly the reason why it is so hated.
    The story is ok with some good ideas but overall lacks this wow moments.
    Graphics are great though

    It's an okay game, could have been a really good one if it fulfilled it's complete potential. It also got a lot more hate than it deserved, they really nailed the movement mechanics in this game and the story was descent. Just wish they could have "copied" a bit of destiny's open "always multiplayer" formula to keep the game world more alive.

    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]
