    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Anthem has been one of the best games I have played in a while. It reminds me of another game, in a suit and fighting on desolate planet. The story is very exciting to be able to play alone or with a group. The graphics are very good and help carry the ow of the storyline.… Expand

    I don't know why it is having so much hate this game.I played it now for 30+ hrs and i enjoying it.It is having aome technical issues on the base PS4,but besides that it is fun shooter.The story is also interesting with plot twists.I think it deserves better score but that's only me thinking that.

    Lots of fun, needs more content. Can’t let a game like this go to waste. Anthem 2.0 will be even more amazing!

    Despite its flaws, there's a good game at its core. I love most of the writing, the lore is vast and when you get into it you just want more, and yes the flying is some of the coolest you'll do compared to some other modern games.

    It's a fun and beautiful game. The combat is solid and engaging, the landscapes are breathtaking and fun to explore. The only downside is the lack of endgame content, but hopefully anthem next (the planned rework update) can fix that.

    Best gunplay of its generation, the only downside is the story isn’t stellar which is a shame for a bioware game, and the reason it doesn’t rate a full 10 for me

    I bought this game at a really great discount for around USD 6 on 11/11. It was on my radar before it came out but did not get it due to the number of bad things said.

If you aren't lagging, the game feels smooth for me, but to be honest I don't really care much for graphics unless they are total crap. All in all, due to the markdown of the game's prices, go ahead and give it a chance. I would buy it actually for USD 4 more.… Expand

    One of my favourite games. 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.

    Also, £3.99 on Amazon is a steal!

    I don't understand why players are rating this game so poorly. I thoroughly enjoyed the game. So much so that I pursued the platinum. Maybe it's because I'm predominantly a RPG player. Anthem was great for me, the graphics, the story, the voice acting, the actors, the game mechanics etc. The only annoying bit was the loading times, but even so it was not unbearable.

    Would be tempted to give this a 9 since the dialogue can be tiresome and feels like too much story (for my taste) - that said you can easily skip that stuff and the controls and gameplay are intuitive and really good fun. The weapons are futuristic but it feels like you're firing bullets rather than laser bolts or whatever, and flying around in the javelins adds a layer.

    The crap reviews it has gotten are a travesty so I'm giving it a 10 - I can only assume that it has been patched in a way that fundamentally altered the game or else the whole thing must be rigged because it's easily my game of the year for 2019.    … Expand

    -personalisation complète du javelins sur lames couleurs Points négatifs ou à améliorer:
    -jeux devenus de trop dur a trop facile, plus de challenge en gm3. Les titans qui étaient sympa ne sont plus une menace même seul. -une histoire plus intéressante dans les notes du monde que l'histoire principale. L'histoire des général tarsis et autres membre la légions de l'aube donne plus envi que celle proposé dans l'aventure où les événements. Dommage car bioware tient une excellente histoire et ne nous l'a fait pas vivre. -tous les javelin on accès aux 3 éléments (foudre,glace et feux). L'effet de synergie des javelins n'existent plus.
    -manque de contenu. -pas assez d'armure, de matériaux.de personalisation. -1 seul ultime par javelins. -la partie libre ne se joue que à 4 et pas chat possible. -Baie lancement qui ne sert à rien, il serait plus judicieux de modifier légèrement le fort pour le transformer en baie de lancement Conclusion:
    Un jeux au gameplay excellent qui donne une envi de jouer encore et encore malgré de gros défaut. Le problème d'anthem et que le jeux est sorti à mis chemin entre un survival en team et un shooter looters il a un manque de suivi, de développement. Le jeux avec de grosse mise à jour pourrais être l'un des meilleurs jeux de bioware car il a beaucoup de potentiel ou via un anthem 2.    … Expand

Perhaps people just expected too much. Maybe it helps that I wasn't even aware of the game until the free trial beta weekend. I've seen the developers work on patching in a timely manner, and they take all of the feedback they get from players into account as far as I can tell. I look forward to the future of this game, and I hope support continues for some time to come.… Expand

    Fell in lvoe with the game. I play it everyday. Just like Destiny, it is a bit slim on content for now. The gameplay is a blast and one of a kind. If you are looking for a fun loot shooter that is actually fun to play this is the game. It makes Borderland and Destiny feel so slow and not as fun to actually play it. I am aware of the complaints, but I swear that they are exaggerated. IFell in lvoe with the game. I play it everyday. Just like Destiny, it is a bit slim on content for now.

    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]
