    Things to note before playing Anthem in it's current launch state:

    DON'T: Start playing Anthem if you're looking for the next installment of a "Bioware quality", single player, story driven, ARPG. It will feel like a completely unfinished game once you finish your story line and you will quickly lose patience with the bugs and loading screens still present at launch.

    DO: Start playing Anthem if you enjoy games based around loot grinds and pushing powerful and higher quality combinations of gear and weapons into higher tier difficulties. If you've played and found interest in games like Diablo 3 the gear/build structure in Anthem, while not as deep a pool yet, draws quite close and can easily grow to encompass a wide variety of play styles even within the 4 Javelin lineup currently in place.

    This, in combination with a beautifully crafted world to fly around in, and a story that could have been much worse comparatively, makes for a better launch experience than most games in this category that I've come across. The potential is there and I am looking forward to seeing the game grow.    … Expand

    I'm giving this a 9 because I don't think the game is perfect. However, this game is damn fun, and you should play it for yourself and decide. Screw everyone else's thoughts. YOU make the choice.

    Great VA and feel for the world.

    Been playing for a few hours now and don't see what everyone is complaining about. Yes the load times are a bit longer than im used to but i don't know if just that the day 1 patch has improved them a lot but they're not that bad. might be waiting 90secs secs to load back into Freeplay.

    The only 2 complaints i have is not being able to play freeroam solo for gathering crafting materials and admittedly the being pulled forward because of aimpatient random team member is annoying.

    Otherwise a compelling story opener, great voice acting, so much fun to fly around and try and pull off combo's with friends.

    I have a healthy distaste for EA practices but to be fair people have to remember this is not a single player campaign RPG where you get a beginning, middle and end. It's an ongoing story which will unfold over months.    … Expand

    I don't like to give reviews on public space, but this time it's different because the game is receiving too much negativity, which it doesn't deserve, I played it on PS4 2014 base edition, the game didn't even crash once, there were no bugs and loading screen was fast.

    I am really enjoying the game and I believe people need to give this game a chance. :)

    I dont care who the publisher is i care about how i spent my time. This one looks really promising though it has flaws like sadly allmost every game (exept Apex Legends) perhaps has at start. Its download times are big - but the story for me is interesting and the gameplay it self is huge +. Looking more from the updates too but still really a game worth to play and try.

    Been playing this game quite a bit and I enjoy it a lot. The gameplay feels a lot like mass effect 3 (in a good way) and it's a blast to play with friends. Action and motion feels good, a lot of the abilities are fun and feel solid. I'd definitely say this is more enjoyable with friends than alone, however.

    The vitriol for this game is completely unwarranted.

    You don't like EA? Don't bother with their releases. You've gone off BioWare because they 'don't make games like KOTOR anymore'. Unfortunately, that's the way it is. There are plenty of other game developers making games which would satiate that need for you. This game is far from perfect, but it is a very solid start and with some    The vitriol for this game is completely unwarranted.

    This game is far from perfect, but it is a very solid start and with some tweaks I'm sure it's going to become an excellent game. Once April rolls around and new content has been released and the game has had a couple more patches, maybe we will start to see a clearer picture of the direction BioWare are going with this. Right now, it's just a hell of a lot of fun, and addictive to boot.

    Instead of writing a massive essay, I'll throw down some pros and cons:

    Pros:
    -Flying is delightful
    -The game is absolutely beautiful. Graphically, wonderful.
    -The battling is a lot of fun and not too complicated.
    -The physics are almost perfect.
    -The teamwork aspect of it is great and, at the moment (on the PS4), everyone seems to be keen to join forces and work together to complete missions/objectives.
    -Plenty of customization opportunities for each Javeling (exosuit)
    -Each javelin plays completely differently and changes the way you approach situations. For example: I am currently spending most time in the Storm javelin which has mage-like abilities (elemental attacks etc), but is weaker than the others. The Storm javelin allows you to hover for much longer than the other suits so you can hover above the battlefield and rain down holy hell. very satisfying. The colossus, though, is the tank javelin and that's barging in and blowing the crap out of everything. It also has an ability to essentially taunt enemies and force them to attack it. As it has the best defence (by far), it can take a lot of punishment.
    -Plenty of loot to go and find and plenty of variation (I think).
    -Being able to customize your exosuit paint job is awesome (and no, not using microtransactions).
    -No microtransactions for anything other than cosmetics (different suit parts which don't affect abilities).
    -Story is interesting and I'm intrigued as to where they will go with it.
    -BioWare already set out a 90 day road map of new content - starting in March with the next Act of the story plus other things.
    -Bioware already released 3 patches over the weekend (one was 10gb) fixing some initial issues.

    Cons
    -Long loading times. This needs to be remedied really. It doesn't bother me as much as it appears to be bothering others, though.
    -The characters have no base stat information so I'm still a little unsure of what my character's overall stats are after customizing them.
    -Could do with a few more mission/objective types, but I'm sure that will come. Really missed a beat not having some kind of flying chase mission. Maybe later on. It's so much fun battling and flying around that, for now, there's enough variation for me. It reminds me of Diablo 3 in this sense. It's Diablo 3, with guns and flying (but much more beautiful and, dare I say it, fun!). Diablo 3 really is just fighting through hordes of enemies and collecting loot. Very few other things going on in that game. Very few puzzles or anything like that, but it's a hell of a lot of fun. Same with this, except there are a few different types of mission that you have. Protecting people, putting a relic back together whilst fighting off a Scar horde, collecting data for someone etc. It's mostly about the loot and, for now, there's more than enough of that. They will need to add to it though eventually!

    I've seen too many reviews from people who haven't even played the game. Absolutely toxic and pathetic. Rent the game if you're not sure whether to buy it and see for yourself. If you like it, great. If you don't, there are plenty of other games out there for you.    … Expand

    Firstly, I am rating this game as an online multiplayer looter shooter. Not as a single player story based game, as that is not what it is, I’m not going to rate it as mass effect 4, as that isn’t what it is. This has more in common with a game like Diablo than it does a classic Bioware story based single player adventure.

This has more in common with a game like Diablo than it does a classic Bioware story based single player adventure. I will be giving my honest opinion from playing the game over this weekend, around 12 hours and I will amend should my opinion change further in.i

    Firstly, the presentation of this game is great, the feel of movement, flight, combat are all strong and although I suspect built on the building blocks of ME’s third person shooting but a fair bit tighter. The setting is large, sprawling, beautiful and interesting. This large scale area can be a bit empty, but there are rare chests, hidden areas of interest, codex entries and lore for places of interest should that be something you want to delve into.

    The player hub which is a town to pick up missions talk to NPC’s to get some more info on the world and access your javelin to customise it and equip different skills, weapons or buffs which are all loot picked up from enemy drops or chests found dropped from completed events. One thing I found jarring from this is playing a mission with friends, you all go back to town, talk to people, amend your loadout watch a cutscene, but your squad may all be at different parts of the story, meaning there can be a lot of waiting, and whilst the plot interests me and the conversations I want to be engaged in I do find myself distracted worrying about holding up my friends while they wait for me. But the town is where you find the story and interesting characters you may expect from single player bioware titles but much in simpler form mainly because this isn’t an epic single player bioware game but a looter shooter with bioware flavour. This shouldn’t surprise anyone.

    The game is really fun to play, the loot is varied and interesting a good number of skills to interchange and combo with eachother, components to boost damage types, weapon types, and all gear including weapons can bolster your skills too so with some gear some great combinations can be equipped to suit your build or compliment your allies abilities. Which for me is enough to say that this game is enjoyable, it’s fun to play and I truly believe I will be playing it for some time.

    One criticism I do have from playing is the mission types seem similar, it’s fight several waves of enemies, guard an area for a time/pick up objects nearby and collect them together, defeat a boss. Mission complete, this is also similar in free roam with the random events so it’s not very imaginative. But the core gameplay is fun, and the bosses are interesting so far, so that doesn’t bother me much.

    In Summary, I do not think this is a 10, but I know this is not a 0, this is a 7-8 in my opinion with the potential to grow with its evolving world and planned free additional content. I am basing my opinion on my enjoyment of the game and not out of nostalgic loyalty to Bioware, politics or a general dislike of EA. Some pro’s and con’s.

    Pros
    Beautiful local with points of interest to explore.
    Tight and challenging combat that encourages teamwork.
    A decent loot system including skills as loot.
    Interesting Javelins that play and feel different.
    A good fun multiplayer looter shooter.
    Town parts and conversations are interesting and a bioware seasoning upon this different style game

    Cons
    Town conversations cutscenes make multiplayer awkward at times.
    Not good variation of mission types, only 3-4 formulas that are repeated

    Rewarding this an 8 on light of the above comments and based on my own experience of the game. I will edit this once further in should the above change as I progress.    … Expand

It is a glaring omission that there are no non-voice communication options beyond a couple of emotes--but BW has already made updates that *have improved* the game (being on PS4 w/out early access, I'm seeing a huge improvement from the Demo weekends to release and am really encouraged by the improvements). Is it a finished game? Probably not, but it has so much potential, and wasn't Destiny a disappointment when it first released too? And you have to pay out the ass for every xpack. This doesn't seem to be the case with Anthem... you can choose to get vanity items or not and it doesn't detract from the gameplay. My big fear is that they'll give up on this game like they did Andromeda--which was also hugely improved after release, and knowing no single player xpacks were coming for that just sucked my motivation out of wanting to finish it. Anthem's combat and mechanics are a lot of fun to play, co-op has a lot of potential (contextual communication wheel ala Fortnite maybe?) and I've even had a good time teaming up with rando's to defeat Titans in freeplay. I'm not giving up on it.… Expand

    The end game is very shallow and players should not race to get to end game for the first few weeks. You could do this in week easy, but you would cheat yourself.

    The gameplay is scarred by a few nasty bugs or mechanics decisions, but thus far Bioware has delivered on fixes. Through the onset I constantly saw comments of "no way this can get fixed in before beta". Bioware fixed it. Then I saw, no way can this be fixed for early release on PC. Bioware fixed it. Then the hatred crept in and I saw "This game is unsalvageable, no way the day 1 patch could fix things". Well, it definitely fixed issues for me. Bioware has earned a little patience from me to see where they are going. This is definitely a game to try. Also if reviewers gave fallout 76 a 6/10 this deserves at least that.    … Expand

    I have fun with this game. And isn't that the point of playing videogames? Sure there are maybe some issues, but that's "normal" for videogames in our time.

    Dare in media un voto così basso ad Anthem è davvero ridicolo .
    Una grafica pazzesca un esplorazione in volo mai vista in un videogioco non può avere voto così basso.
    E' pur vero che ci sono molte lacune come la ripetitività delle missione e mancanza di una trama adeguata , ma diamo tempo per mettere apposto qualche imprecisione ed eventi....
    non credo sia un gioco da eliminare .

    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]
