    This is prime example of wasted potential. It took them one year to just fix the game (but not everything was fixed), and then it died.

    I will never forget and obviously never forgive. This game was basically a world scale scam and EA should have been sued.

    Lets getting something out of the way first. The demo we all played was terrible, and the ranger class was pretty lacklustre and boring but the final released version of the game is completely different in comparison - graphically and in execution.
    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.
    Pros - gameplay, graphics, music, sound, characters, class differences
    cons - teething issues with connectivity (experienced once in 20 hours of gameplay), load times (resolved) - now only takes a few seconds on PS4 Pro.

    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.

    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.

    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.
    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.

    As the weekend passed and Anthem was released global we saw a variety of things from the long awaited EA BioWare 2019 flagship title. Many of which were terribly disappointing; to say the least.

    I think that however distasteful as it may be, the best thing to do is start with the bad. At least that way there will be the proverbial silver lining at the end; which thankfully there is.
    As the weekend passed and Anthem was released global we saw a variety of things from the long awaited EA BioWare 2019 flagship title. Many of which were terribly disappointing; to say the least.

    I think that however distasteful as it may be, the best thing to do is start with the bad. At least that way there will be the proverbial silver lining at the end; which thankfully there is. Well; slightly.

    With ridiculous loading screen times that, literally left room for some important tea and bathroom breaks, and more crashes than my Dad’s 8 year old desktop pc it can easily be labelled as a rocky start. With that said, it also raises questions about how much testing of the final product was done prior to release or if these issues were a result of the post-beta changes.

    Other less serious issues included extremely short game ending times after a final boss defeats and lack of loot. Hanging on screens between instances, and many other niggling annoyances.

    It really begs the question of what they were thinking when they decided to release the game at this stage, and with knowledge of the post-beta changes they’d made. However, this can be partially forgiven as recent comments from the Anthem camp have said they thought it could have benefited from a little more time. So they know things have gone a bit array and are looking to change them.

    Thankfully, it seems that BioWare are learning from the failings of their competitors and were all over them like a dog on a bone churning out patch 1.03 in an attempt to fix many of the pressing issues; then whatever it didn’t fix, or seemingly made worse, they tried tackling in the quickly succeeding patch 1.04.

    On the other side of the coin there were quite a few good points that have been noted by a vast number of players, which I have to agree with. Anthem, by far, has some of the most impressive environments gamers have seen thus far. Also, In spite of the lack of general storyline, the game is very much enjoyable to play and with some fine tuning could very well turn into a great game; even a brilliant one.

    I think one of the main things that everyone, including myself, noted from this weekend‘s gaming was that, in spite of the over exaggerated claims otherwise, this was nowhere near as bad as the Fallout 76 disaster. And another thing is that EA BioWare have been especially quick to, and progressively, respond to players issues and feedback. We'll see how it goes, but for now It's a middle of the road rating from me. Good ideas, great look; bad execution.

    But it's so brutal for solo play. A word of warning to anyone with kids, significant others, or jobs that require you to be on call all day: if you are inactive for 5 minutes, you will be booted out of your game. You will have to return to that mission and redo the ENTIRE MISSION.

    There's no real pause button, you will still get booted after 5 minutes. Same deal with putting your console in rest mode. Oh and Playstation Plus is necessary even if you never intend to play with other people. I did my research so I knew that going in, but it's counterintuitive so I want to let people know.

    I get these limitations for multiplayer, but applying them to solo as well is so absurd and seems like it'd be a simple, obvious fix.

    Gameplay is a blast - it's a great Iron Man simulator. If you can deal with the issues, it's a lot of fun, especially since you can now find it for $15-$30. But I find the solo limitations so frustrating that I keep leaving the game, and I may never finish it.

The wise wahmen are kust over the top.One thing death stranding did right is that this game didn't is things like progression and satisfying rewards for grinding. 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. Because I couldn't stand one more second of the people in this game or the horrible writing. 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.

    Anthem rappresenta la decadenza assoluta di una software house sviluppatrice di videogiochi. Gioco letteralmente penoso, ingiocabile, buggato e a tratti frustrante, ripetitivo e nauseante. Esperienza pessima per chi, come me, lo ha acquistato al day one. 70 euro buttati via, sarebbe stato meglio spenderli in veleno. NON ACQUISTATELO PER NULLA AL MONDO. NEANCHE GRATIS.

The dialogue is also terrible and impossible to relate to: It’s action movie dialogue at its worst. Most of all, It’s so sad to see such a large budget title have such little creativity and life put into it. This game definitely needs development leader that know how to have fun, take risks, and experiment. Sadly, it’s probably way too late for this one. Expand

    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.

    The best way I can describe Anthem as a video game is that it really isn't one. It's a truly barebones experience by all standards that I had little to no enjoyment playing whatsoever. Hating on this game is popular, but I actually played a significant amount it and can safely say that every criticism you've likely heard about it is absolutely true.

    For starters, the story is a mess
    The best way I can describe Anthem as a video game is that it really isn't one. It's a truly barebones experience by all standards that I had little to no enjoyment playing whatsoever. Hating on this game is popular, but I actually played a significant amount it and can safely say that every criticism you've likely heard about it is absolutely true.

    For starters, the story is a mess that doesn't make much sense. Nothing is really ever expanded on, nor is a cohesive narrative or game world ever present at any point. Something about the Anthem of Creation and cataclysms and invaders, etc. The characters are also lacking in depth and personality. They all, including the protagonist, desperately try to be funny but rarely if ever achieve that goal. Dialogue options make a compulsory appearance, but it has absolutely no effect on the conversations at all and only serves to waste your time.

    You get quests at an empty, lifeless hub world that you have to slowly travel in first-person for some reason. This is where you talk to people who aren't interesting about things you don't care about and take on missions that aren't fun. It honestly serves as a buffer to the gameplay, especially with the gargantuan load times you suffer in transition.

    Speaking of gameplay, it isn't very fun. Missions are, as I said, barebones. If you've ever played a patrol mission in the Destiny series, picture those as every mission, main or side, in the entire game. You have essentially 3 options: Fly to place and kill things, fly to place and defend static area while killing things, or fly to place and kill things while collecting materials they drop. That's literally it. That's every mission in the game. Period.

    And the gameplay itself gets old really quick. The novelty of piloting your Javelin suit evaporates within the first few hours. Turns out being Space Iron Man isn't fun when you have nothing to do. There are only a handful of enemy types in the entire game and only two different heavy miniboss enemies. You'll get very tired of killing the same giant shield-bearers over and over again. Combat also feels disjointed. Unlike other shooter-looters, enemies don't really react to getting shot. You more or less just fire at them until their health meter goes down then they drop dead. Games like Destiny and Warframe may be grindy, but at least they feel good to play. Anthem does not.

    The loot in Anthem is likewise underwhelming. In fact, it feels completely inconsequential. One of the most important things about being a loot-driven game is to make it exciting to get better loot. All "loot" in Anthem looks pretty much the same, from weapons to Javelin parts. Really you're just combing though a post-mission menu equipping the thing with the highest number. There's no variety, excitement, or fun to the loot. In fact, the entire loot system feels like it was tacked on as an afterthought in order to extend player engagement.

    Graphically, Anthem isn't great. The lush jungles look nice at first, but textures were always popping in at a distance and constantly reminding me of the broken nature of this game. I played on an original PS4 so maybe it looked better on a Pro, but I can only judge it based on how I experienced it. Also, that lush jungle is the environment for the entire game. Outside of some caves and ruins, there are no other biomes to speak of.

    I will say that I did have some fun with the heavy Javelin type (Colossus I believe). It was fairly fun to to used my hulking frame to pound enemies into the dirt. I felt powerful and it was reasonably satisfying given the static overall feel of the combat. But that's as far as my enjoyment went.

    Anthem is an early access game that was sold at a premium $60 price. It's an embarrassment to video games, an embarrassment to EA, and and embarrassment to Bioware. Apparently it was in the conception stage for 5 years and only actually worked on for a single year before being dumped out on us in the shape it was in. Not that it's improved much since launch. Bioware literally had to cancel the entire post-launch roadmap because they were unable to fix the game in a timely manner.

    Some people are hoping for a Final Fantasy XIV-style rebirth, but I am not. FFXIV was led by a talented lead designer with a passionate team of of developers. Bioware has no creative direction or drive to fix anything in Anthem and it shows. At the time of this writing, it's been almost two years since launch and nothing has improved. Anthem will likely go down in history as a testament to mismanaged game development, corporate deceit, and the absolute failure of live-service games. And honestly, it deserves to do so.

    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.

    The gameplay is enjoyable, it’s definitely fun and pretty to look at. Sadly I (and many others) struggle to even log in due to the ‘Error retrieving Anthem Live data’ at the log in.

    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.

    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.

    -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.

    "Huh? Bioware finally came out with the half-assed content they were supposed to 3 months ago? Why that means they still care about this game! Because you know, releasing content multiple months late in such an anticlimactic way somehow means this game's obviously going to have a FFXIV-like reboot!"

    "What's that? The developers decided to not post here anymore right after release? Why, it's because of the haters constantly bashing the game and the company! Certainly not because Bioware acted like little **** the moment people pointed out how the literal hundreds of flaws that makes the game not even worth $20! If you haters would've just sat there and ate your bowl of **** like the rest of us fans you wouldn't be so angry!"

    "What's this? Various people including the leads of Anthem have left Bioware during development and after release? Good riddance! Who needs people that have been with the company for almost 20 years & know what they're doing? Out with the old, in with the...oh, the positions of the people that left are still empty after all this time? Don't worry about filling them in! They'll figure it out somehow! They have Bioware Magic on their side after all!"

    "Really? You decided to cancel the planned bonus content that was supposed to come out and instead to replace them with seasonal events that are literally just lazy reskins of the thing that came out 3 months too late & the same base content that was in the game since launch? Why that's an amazing idea! That way I can grind and grind for hundreds of hours on the literal same maps doing menial tasks that are made insanely long just to pad out the playtime! Can't wait to have missions where I have to kill 1000 enemies, then 2500 enemies and then 5000 enemies that ultimately serves no purpose whatsoever because Bioware is that desperate to have people play their game for more than an hour before realizing that they're just wasting time!"

    "Oh, and please don't mention all of the bugs, glitches, game crashes and disconnection problems the game has had since day 1. That triggers me because I can't justify those, which makes me realize that the game I spend 20 hours a day on isn't perfect."

    I honestly haven't seen a gaming fanbase this idiotic, desperate & pathetic since Evolve's. Fitting for a game that's also on its' way to becoming dead like Evolve.

To top it off, the servers are unstable. Unfortunately, I bought the Art of Anthem book so I know what could have been. I want the game that was in that book. BioWare has fallen far. I pre-ordered it as it was a BioWare title but unfortunately I won't do that again after this experience. It gets a score of 2 for being pretty to look at, but that is about all there is. :( Expand

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

    Good game, for evening gaming after work.
    Thank’s BioWare for this game. It’s amazing!

    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.

    Я загрузил игру по подписке EA и знаете я не понимаю как такая огромная, богатейшая корпорация как EA и ранее уважаемая Bioware могли выпустит продукт такого уровня. Это же не играбельно!!!! Ща два дня игра вылетала раз 5 и выдавала ошибки связи несчётное количество раз. Как, ну как такое может быть. Подписку я оформил ради того чтобы попробовать именно эту игру и заплатил я какие то 300Я загрузил игру по подписке EA и знаете я не понимаю как такая огромная, богатейшая корпорация как EA и ранее уважаемая Bioware могли выпустит продукт такого уровня.

    I'm from Russia. I really liked the game its gameplay and setting. The potential of the game is huge waiting for the support of the game.
    I didn’t notice any special bugs; Downloads are faster, I hope the game will flourish in the long run).

    Have you ever wanted to trade your PS4 in for a paperweight? Now you don't have to, just buy Anthem and let the game brick your console! Only $59.99! You buy now!

    I believed in Bioware. I pretty love Mass Effect 1-3, Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age Inquisition.
    But this is... overwhelmingly, surprisingly bad. These are awesome games with awesome narrative, music, gameplay, visuals.
    But this is... Ultra Pro-feminist game with boring shooting, boring world, boring quests, boring hub-location and nice visuals. Male characters are weak, female

    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]
