    Anthem is a good game. It needs work and since it is a 'live service game', it should get better over time. Was it released in a perfect state? No. but I have been playing about 30 hours and am having a great time. I have bought plenty of games where I spent nearly as much and didn't get that much play time.

    I'm enjoying the game as are a lot of my friends, not too glitchy for me, decent story ,fluid gameplay and plenty to do. Not sure where all the negativity is coming from to be honest.

    I gave this game a 10 just to scale back the hate train that's been rolling on since release for no apparent reason that I can find. The game is fine, more than fine even.

    Very interesting lore, GREAT TO NOT SAY AWESOME mechanics. WONDERFUL VISUALS. This is a game with story. I really got immersive in this one. I really have no idea on how this game got so much hate. Looks like almost some sort of conspiracy against it. This game deserves even from the most skeptic and grumpy gamers a big 9!

    Anthem is quite a unique game, its absolutely visually stunning and actually pretty fun to play. The problem with it is I just don't want to play it. I don't give a single care at all about the story and once I put it down and stopped playing for the day, I just haven't had the gumption to pick it back up, thats 2 weeks now...

    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

I would say that the game crashed back to the opening screen approximately 50% of the time after mission end leading to even longer load times to get back in than they already are. The story is uninteresting generic sci-fi loaded with overt and subliminal SJW propaganda (like most EA games) which you may or may not enjoy. I never felt the desire to customize my character at all after the initial build. The guns are generic as well, I found the LMG to be the only useful one. The character voice acting is good but it's hard to care about any of it and the choices made in the conversations do not seem to greatly impact anything. It is unclear what the motivation is to continue playing this after the credits role. It was a chore just to get that far.… Expand

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

    To put it simple, do you want to gun down enemies like Destiny and earn loot, this is it. Fof everyone else you can keep going to something else.

Learning the culture and history of this new IP is very interesting. Several memorable characters-- my favorites so far are the gossiping Neeson, and the Arcanist Matthias.

    Freeplay mode is decent, world events spawn as you fly over or near, adding to the sense that you are on patrol and responding to emergent threats. But, unless you are pre-grouped with friends, you feel disconnected to the other three players in the shared space.

    Visually stunning game world.

    Planned future content is a boon here, as we are just in the beginning of Act one of three announced. I look forward to what the future holds for acts two and three (presumably covering at least year 1 of Anthem), and hope EA/Bioware give Anthem time grow.

    However, as noted by others: solo story and group play don't mesh well here:load screens are annoying; and loot could use a fix (which is pending).

    I'd suggest giving this game a try, it has flaws, but also strengths. Given time, Anthem can become a very solid title and franchise.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Anthem shows a lot of promise, but as it stand now (1 week out of launch), it's trying to use it great gameplay to hold up the other aspects that are lacking, such as mission/enemy variety and subdued narrative. The novelty will wear off and most players will be left with an empty game with untapped potential. This makes the support planned for the title all the more important. A variety of quality-of-life fixes, mission variety to encourage recurring players to keep completing challenges, and a strong, consistent dose of narrative expansions to keep the world front and center and not behind "codex" entries. This will ensure a strong and passionate community to capitalize on what Destiny was struggling with. This gameplay and this idea should not be squandered, because once things click, its a fulfilling and intense experience, and if the loot and lore reflects that gameplay, Bioware will have something truly special… Expand

The communication and launch of this game is probably the worst ever done. The demo was no demo but a beta, they were tons of bugs, load times, crashes (the story about the PS4 crashing is simply not acceptable). Yes they probably launch this game too soon especially for hard core gamers. But again I did not had those or simply said I do not play enough to be bothered about it.. 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.

    - Fighting/Shooting compared to Destiny 2 feels not so well

    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.
    We played it for about 30 hours. And we stopped for another, real AAA Looter Shooter.    … Expand

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?

    "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."

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.    … 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. Because I couldn't stand one more second of the people in this game or the horrible writing.… Expand

    The combat/ abilities are good, each javelin feels unique and useful.

    The loot is boring, doesn't seem to matter much, an absolute death knell for this kind of game, how do you screw that up? Definitely something they can fix though.

    The voice chat is very poor and doesn't seem like anyone even tries to use it anymore, there is no written chat, this game feels very much like you are playing alone, not a good thing for this kind of game, this game is hurt by it's poorly functioning online features and offers no benefit in return. Bad bad bad.

    Pros :

    + Animations and lip-sync are good
    + Gameplay is smooth

    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

But you cant ignore the other qualities this game has. The combat is really fun where the guns feel pretty balanced, all four javelins feel and play completely differently from each other as well as all fun to play, story has interesting lore, graphics are fantastic, and a good amount of other great things.
    This is one game I can say I really enjoy to mess around in while not all the time but it is a title I would enjoy getting back into playing every especially after every update.

    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.

    cons - teething issues with connectivity (experienced once in 20 hours of gameplay), load times (resolved) - now only takes a few seconds on PS4 Pro.    … Expand

    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

    -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

    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

    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

    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’ve spent 4 hours playing the game initially and probably equal that again, if not more trying to log in again after I’d closed it. Still not managed yet...

    Uma verdadeira porcaria. Joguei no lançamento, 3 dias depois de zerar desinstalei e nunca mais coloquei a mão nessa piada de jogo.

    As missões são repetitivas e cansativas, os loadings absurdos e os inimigos são mal desenvolvidos. Sobre a trilha sonora: tão esquecível que não lembro nada.

    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.    … Expand

    The single shortest honeymoon period I've ever had in a game. Within the second hour of playing I had felt like I've seen everything it has to offer. Half-baked, dead and abandoned almost 2 years later, Anthem is the worst AAA looter-shooter to ever be released.

My largest complaints are that there are hardly any cosmetics so most players look similar but with different paint jobs, the loading times on PS4 pro are terrible and frequent, the sound design is criminally bland, and gear is uncreative and generic.
