Sometimes I could get back in after several attempts and minutes, and sometimes I could not. Sometimes I kept loot and sometimes not. I stopped playing after it completely shut down my PS4 and I had to run through the diagnostics to start it up again. I can't risk mt PS4 dying because of the errors and build of this game.

    Flying is fun, exploring new world is fun but not enough to overcome major issues
    1. technical errors/ problems
    2. mapping - where are events? where are team members? How do I know someone is down and needs to be revived? When I need to be revived all I can do is just sit there with no hope of coming back without revive and can't see anything except my downed prospective. Can't crawl towards a safe place to revive. Can't see through my team mates eyes, etc.
    3. I pick up a weapon and can't use it until getting through several loading screens and back to fort? Fat chance of me getting through those without getting kicked.
    ( I understand not being able to use armor pieces immediately, but guns? That I am obviously holding because I bring back to the fort? WHAT??!!?!!)
    4. very repetitive. I felt I was completing same mission over and over. kill, defend and fetch. over. and over. and over. I waited years for this game. It is not the game promised and hyped.

    I am done with pre-ordering. I did it with Fallout and said never again for Bethesda, and now Anthem has finally got me to say no more to any game.    … Expand

    The main story is generic and not very interesting, with most players I speak to choosing to skip through conversations completely, as well as this, prepare to frequently cringe at NPC dialogue during missions and cutscenes, completely removing any sense of immersion or tension, and the ending will leave you more disappointed than most recent Star Wars movies.

    Customization of your Javelin is one of the selling points of this game, giving you the ability to combine 6 elements across your character, including textures, patterns & colours, and while this is a refreshing change, armour pieces are currently locked behind a coin grind/paywall, with only 3 or 4 options currently available.

    Flying is an interesting concept, although combat is nothing revolutionary, as you will eventually tire of using the same COMBO attacks and a small handful of Masterwork/Legendary weapons against the same enemy types, enemy AI actually improves at Grandmaster 1 difficulty, but once you have beaten this, it also becomes repetitive.

    Due to a current shortage of End Game content, the game feels unfinished, and the above issues turn an otherwise good looking grinding experience into a chore, upcoming patches and free DLC's promise to fix these issues but at this point, your money will be better spent on any of the other current games coming out on the market.

    Note: if you have nothing else to play, or have very LOW expectations, you will enjoy this game for a week or two like I have, anyone rating this game 0-3 / 6-10 is most likely a TROLL, do not be fooled, this game is at best an AVERAGE looter shooter, and at worst a BELOW AVERAGE title given it's competition.    … Expand

    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    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

Death stranding was very addicting in the way that it progressed you through the game were as anthem gets boring very early on with a shallow progression and loot system. One positive about the game would be the visuals the world looks pretty but it's completely shallow and non interactive. Also controls and movement feel very satisfying for a little while until you realise that it's just the same thing over and over. I think the only way to salvage a game would to be completely redo the loop system for better weapons and better more interesting gear. And just completely cut the story and the characters out just have little Dark Souls hints about what's going on.

    The sheer amount of loading screens often lasting 1-2mins each is frustrating on top of the fact that endgame quickplay on GM1+ is always dropping you into either bugged missions or finished missions (!!) so you'reloading in and out all the time is gamebreaking.

    It's just Destiny 2.1 - it feels like a slight rehash of that franchise to me, just as soulless and boring too.

    At one time they were a beloved game developer with hits like Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3, (with the exception of the generic ending of Mass Effect 3), Star Wars, The Old Republic, Dragon Age franchise as well as Baldur’s Gate. It seems that when they were acquired by Electronics Arts; many of their games have had trouble, due to EA’s thirst for monetization and demand for deadlines. EA is killing games and BioWare is one of their victims.

    I buy my games, I do not rely on developers codes and I do not get paid to review games. For me, if a game is not fun, it is not a good game. If a game is unfinished, it is not a good game. If the game is a grind, it is not a good game.

    I play games for entertainment and I am not beholden to being blacklisted if I give a bad review so here it goes.

    The graphics of this game are a bag of mixed nuts. Some areas are simply beautiful, some areas are full of pop-ins, and for the most part, after the first hour I was frustrated. Additionally the loading screens are horrendous. Finally I found myself getting dizzy.

    This game is unfinished with boring missions, boring and some unnecessary NPC who for some reason want to tell you their life stories. The enemies and basically the same and the main villain is treated poorly.

    I want to go on, but simply put, I cannot get my money back so I am left with reselling the game or trade it in, which is a shame since again, BioWare did not deliver on its promise.

    I end with one question: Why BioWare, why have you given us another vanilla shooter?    … Expand

This will be the last time I preorder a game published by EA. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

    ORIGINAL: I'm going to be honest right here. I want so much to love this game. It has SO much potential, but it is unacceptable how many bugs and glitches there are. As a gamer, I am actually okay with a delay of a game if it's necessary. In fact, delays are sometimes necessary. This game NEEDED to be delayed.

    I picked this game up on Day One. HDR was broken, and I'm not playing a crappy looking game without HDR on my 4K HDR TV. 2nd time that I tried playing this game, I couldn't even get in because there was a problem with the servers. 3rd time, I was in the middle of a mission and I got the PS4 error blue screen. Then, after playing for a solid 4 hours, my guns suddenly disappearing off my Javelin in between missions. This is unacceptable.

    Before buying this game, I went solely off the videos released for this game. It looks awesome. It actually feels awesome. I like that I can wreck things using the Colossus. I love how beautiful the game looks, and that I can fly around in an "Avatar-like" world.

    Here are my gripes:
    1) The amount of bugs and glitches, including trophy glitches. Then again, this is something I should expect from EA at this point. Don't want a bad reputation? Stop being dumb.
    2) Why is there overheating when I'm flying? Seriously. It's an annoyance.
    3) The missions are predictable and feel like busy work. Kill X amount of enemies, find X amount of runes, etc.
    4) The enemies are bland and boring.
    5) There is one area. Destiny had a variety of planets and enemies (although I'm not a Destiny lover..I have my problems with that game as well).
    6) WHY IN THE WORLD DO I HAVE TO GO TO THE FORGE EVERY TIME I WANT TO CHANGE MY WEAPONS?!?!?
    7) Why no mini map or custom icons? When I go collectible hunting, this makes it easier. Come on EA, you're a AAA developer.

    I truly feel like this game were rushed and deserved a few more betas. Gamestop has a trade-in deal for this game before next week, so I'm going to play what I can, trade it in, and pick it up later for cheap when it's more complete. Sorry Bioware, but this was a mis-step. Focus on Dragon Age and Mass Effect.    … Expand

    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

    Micro transaction are not to bad the price of items for in game currency was defiantly increased but the cosmetic items don't look that great that you would want to spend real world money on them so far.
    The game is repetitive but you have to expect that in a looter shooter and the javelin mechanics do make it fun.
    I rarely ran into any bugs but the connection problems are a huge issue.

    if the game fixed the connection problems and the story for future expansions if any are massively improved then the game could be a 7.

    the world is so empty and i dont care what you say, this game was so heavily false advertised its criminal. it feels like such a huge chunk of the game was ripped out and we are left with the shell. All these "free updates" imo were already apart of the game but they are going to slowly give us these "updates" back into the game to make it seem like they're doing something. although to combat is fun and the flying is ok but some what limited for 20seconds or so before having to recharge, it doesnt excuse the fact that its worse than vanilla destiny, with so much content ripped from the game it makes vanilla destiny seem like a full game.

    id wait a year before getting this when the actual game we should have gotten is ready.

    Update: with the games recent update the game has become broken, the loot less rewarding,end game content being deleted from your map,the game constantly glitching out and restarting your game,errors, loading screens lasting 5-10min at times. I highly suggest everyone at this point not buy the game, its already on sale shortly after release as well so give it a while before making a bad investment in this game

    Update from latest patch: do not buy this game, i have never felt so unrewarded for my time in my life. th eloot system is broken beyond belief that you could waste hours at end game and feel as if you have achieved nothing.

    Result of that action : as I selected close software.... ps4 full crash and hab to execute ps4 repair module for my edternal drive cause it cuold also feel the influence of Anthem.
    - Also content...... lets not talk about that.... they used a mission to lead players to the ingame store.... it was one of the required ones.... whats wrong with people from Bioware?

    So my score is 2 because
    Yes gameplay is fun BUT having basicly same amount of content as Destiny after it failed miserably because of that reason and release the game in a state that does feel like a alpha build and yes i mean that it feels even worse than a beta build. Yeah not the best idea they had. Maybee they wake up now and finaly do something to fix that crap they released, it worket for FFXIV, lets see if it works here as well.    … Expand

    I tend to really like grinding for gear in looter games. After 13 years on WoW, 5 on Destiny, and lots of time spent on other games like Diablo and The Division, I’m no stranger to the genre. Given all my gripes with the game, I’m sure I would have stuck around and even enjoyed my time if the gear was at all interesting. But it just isn’t. It’s some of the most boring loot I’ve ever seen in a video game.

    Don’t pay money for this game. That being said, if you get it for free and wind up liking it, good on you.    … Expand

    Game incomplete released. Missing end-game content. All missions are very similar. Very poor customization. Constant disconnections. Lots of bugs. Frame Drops in areas with many enemies is recurring and annoying. But the worst is that the game sold at full price is still full of micro-transactions. I do not buy an EA game again.

The gameplay is something quite new, that on top of beautiful graphics is definitely making a great impression, and that's as far as the positive aspects go. The first impression goes away within 10h, so you're left dealing with game that has a TONS of loading screens, short, shallow story, small map that's mostly empty, THREE STRONGHOLDS ("endgame"), uninteresting loot, and almost no armors. All you do is play with colors - that's pretty much as far as customization goes. Weapons are uninteresting, all feel the same. There's literally a handful of weapons and all that changes is their rarity and level. As far as I can see 3x weapons of each type, and there's like 6 or 7 types. Stupid and completely ridiculous design choices that are worse than all mistakes looter-shooter games in the past did (Destiny, Division). Question comes to mind what in the hell did they do for SEVEN YEARS!? You put in 10h, 20h max and you're done. You've seen it all, there's nothing more. Anthem is a strong contender for the worst game of 2019 and I'm pretty sure it will take the crown at the end of the year. I'm not even hating, I really had high hopes, and I really, really tried to like this game. I wanted this to be successful but it won't be, bugs aside - this game's core is so broken it's beyond repair. You had one chance bioware. Literally every single decision in this game screams incompetence. I'm officially done with bioware products. If you're still thinking of buying this, wait a bit, it gonna hit the lowest shelves with half price slapped on it sooner than Fallout 76.… Expand

    Let me start off by saying that I’ve been excited for this game ever since the E3 reveal and I so desperately hoped it would be amazing, but I was always worried what could happen given that it’s attached to EA and yea as it turns out they ruined it. I mean the concept of having four javelins, flying around in an open world like Iron Man, and blowing stuff up is a winning for In and ofLet me start off by saying that I’ve been excited for this game ever since the E3 reveal and I so desperately hoped it would be amazing, but I was always worried what could happen given that it’s attached to EA and yea as it turns out they ruined it. I mean the concept of having four javelins, flying around in an open world like Iron Man, and blowing stuff up is a winning for In and of itself, but only EA knows how to take a grand idea and completely destroy it.

    Let me go ahead and talk about what I do like about the game first. You get four javelins to pilot each of which you can switch between at any time you like, all of which feel very distinct from each other, and you aren’t forced to stick with one, which I do like a lot. Gameplay is really fun and engaging with you being able to fire guns and unleash each Javelin’s abilities, in addition to zipping all over the place to rain down hell upon your enemies, set up combos, or flank around them. The game is gorgeous to look at it and the particle effects are spectacular if not somewhat blinding. The customization and ability to create your own unique Javelin is INCREDIBLY satisfying. And lastly the flying, oh man flying around in this game feel absolutely incredible.

    ... But that’s really all I have nice to say about this game because aside from that this game is RIDDLED with bugs and technical issues. I’ve encountered numerous audio glitches where the audio sounds like it’s skipping a beat, The customization is amazing, but there’s hardly any cosmetics to earn or to buy with coins, I’ve had several crashes, enemies have disappeared right in front of me, the frame rate drops to 20fps, status effects like being frozen completely screw up my javelin, game causes annoying lag when in Freeplay, cutscenes don’t fully play out, the story is just weak & uninspiring, the game is has the most laziest mission design I’ve ever seen in a game, damn near worst than vanilla Destiny, this game has the worst bullet sponges I’ve ever fought in a video game, and I just completed a lair, got to the end, and the little console that’s supposed to take you out didn’t even register.

    Like seriously did BioWare even test this game at all, because the amount issues in the game is completely unacceptable. This is a $60 game, it’s not free to play so there’s absolutely no excuse for this and quite frankly BioWare ought be ashamed of themselves for releasing a game in the state that it’s in. Whether this is BioWare or EA’s fault I don’t care, BioWare deserves to get shut down for this because the talent this studio once had is clearly gone. This game feels like it was built by amateurs who had absolutely no clue what the hell they were doing.

    Pros:

    • Spectacular particle effects
    • Absolutely gorgeous graphics
    • 4 very unique javelins to pilot
    • Incredibly detailed customization
    • Intuitive flying mechanics
    • Hiding soooo much potential
    • Satisfying combo system

    Cons:

    • Repetitive & monotonous mission structure
    • Completely boring mission design
    • Annoying bullet sponges
    • Completely broken game plagued with technical issues
    • Game crashes incredibly often
    • Weak uninspiring story
    • No map marker to make navigation easier
    • Doesn’t reward the player enough for their efforts
    • Incredibly lame/poor weapon design
    • Weak uninspiring guns
    • Sheer lack of cosmetic items like armors & gear pieces
    • Incredibly unreasonable grind for coins to purchase cosmetics
    • Forces you to have an Internet connection to play
    • Currently unable to replay story missions
    • Missing key quality of life features

    Like for me this is the most broken game I have ever played. I’m not saying it’s worse than Fallout 76 as I’m sure 76 is worse even though I haven’t played it, but for me personally this is the most broken game I have ever played. Hell I’ve played classic retro games that run better than this “Games as Service” garbage. After this I’m never ever buying another “Games as Service” ever again. Thank god I rented Anthem from Red Box and didn’t waste my money on it or I’d be VERY unhappy.

    Good job EA, once again you ruin another great game and another once beloved studio. I hope you burn to the ground in the next 10 years, if you even last that long at the rate you’re going.    … Expand

    - Fighting/Shooting compared to Destiny 2 feels not so well
    - Menus straight out of hell

    Currently I’d recommend to spend your money for one of the many other coop shooter.

    First of all, I was about to just skip Anthem, because of the bad critics. However, a friend came up with the idea to play it as squad of 4, team of friends. We played other looter shooter or coop games in general in our 4 men static party. So we bought Anthem for 20 Bucks on PS4. So we were about “just let’s have some fun.”.
    And we tried to have it, but the point is that the game is still not finished, it is full of bugs and unstable. There was nearly no session where not one of us had a game crash or stuck in loading screen. Sometimes one of us was not able to join the squad. It happens several times that the “connection to server was lost” during some kind of boss fight. Funny thing, it happened 3 times at the same boss.
    We don’t care for the story, looter shooter… the game tries to tell an epic story, but it isn’t at all. It is annoying to run from npc to npc in town just to get ready for the next mission. They should replace the town for a text-based menu.
    Menu, next point. I don’t like the menu in this game. It is too bulky, slow, never had issues with menus in games, but this is just annoying.

    - managing your items is pain since it takes tens of seconds to move an item to trash

    Game plays
    - free play is pointless, if you join with random people you won't know what is happening
    - no any explanation to your build (don't know what the skill applies to)
    - poor team up setting, cannot join squad after disconnecting (must invite by the team leader)
    - lots bugs the make you cannot progress to next checkpoint
    - losing loots due to connection problem
    - GM2/3 is not rewarded
    - Cannot kick AFK player during strong hold
    - lack of end game content, they have road maps for DLC updates on Mar and Apr but it may be too late. the game should release on Apr instead.

    Goods
    - The game play is enjoyable if you can play it

    conclusion
    don't buy this game at this moment, it is just an pre-alpha build
    it makes all mistakes that made by other game in this few years (e.g. the division, Destiny 1,2)    … Expand

    First off, I truly did want this game to succeed. Unfortunately, it has bricked my PS4. DO NOT PURCHASE FOR PS4!!

    Audio glitches, frame rate issues, no rewarding loot, Average story, repetitive mission, poor mission design, trash ending, no boss variety, and biggest failure of a game in 2019.

    After seeing Anthem presented at E3, I was sold. Bought the digital version. Played three missions without excitement and noticed that I had encountered a situation where suddenly I couldn't carry on with storyline. Well I decided to end my storyline with Anthem and deleted the game. First time I even would want a refund of this gaming experience. So many expectations and promises not fulfilled.

    Anthem is one of the worst games I have ever had the chance to play in my entire life. As a fellow BioWare fan (since 2013), Anthem was an absolute disappointment. This game is not worth $60. Using the excuse that certain issues will be fixed in the future doesn't make sense at all given that the game was six years in development, and BioWare's been making games for 20 years. Everything inAnthem is one of the worst games I have ever had the chance to play in my entire life. As a fellow BioWare fan (since 2013), Anthem was an absolute disappointment. This game is not worth $60. Using the excuse that certain issues will be fixed in the future doesn't make sense at all given that the game was six years in development, and BioWare's been making games for 20 years. Everything in this game is poorly executed, the combat is dry, the enemies are bullet sponges, the characters are bland with no sort of character development or meaningful choices, the level design is also poorly designed, areas are made specifically to anticipate combat, and the story itself is your usual bad guy is bad, kill him, save the world, everyone's happy. There's no valuable meaning in this game. It's absolute garbage. Don't buy it.… 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]
