    Anthem is probably the worst AAA game I've ever played. It either should have been canceled or delayed 2-3 years because it was nowhere near ready for release. Not to mention the massive downgrade.

    I feel a 0 for anthem is still somehow to high. its like treading in **** after the dog bit you. Then rubbing the **** in your eyes and playing destiny. All of the bad parts of destiny and none of the excitement of getting an exotic your friends so desperately want. "Look at my Gally". "Bro why do you have pink eye?". Ladies and Gentlemen....... Anthem.

    This game just isn't good at all. It is extremely bad. Full of bugs and glitches that should have been fixed. They never ere and never will be. TERRIBLE GAME. DO NOT BUY

    Pitiful garbage with nothing to recommend it. If you liked this game you do not like video games, this is a package sold on lies that delivers absolutely nothing worth wasting the time to play. Stop supporting this kind of cheap trash.

    A pretty decent game only held back by a lack of end game content. Give it a try

    When I bought this game, I knew that people were saying that this game had little content. I bought this to find out if I think that this game is really worth the criticism. Well...it was.

The story ofWhen I bought this game, I knew that people were saying that this game had little content. I bought this to find out if I think that this game is really worth the criticism. Well...it was. My FIRST four player raid or whatever it is called would have server problems after completing the mission, but it would not save my progress. I have done it three times, and it is horrible. The story of the game I have not finished because for some reason no NPC wants to talk to me anymore and give me new content. I'm sure it's been patched by now, but I haven't touched the game in months. Everything on my YouTube channel of this game is all that I've played for the story and other missions. Other than the server problems, I didn't notice glitches. Loading is a huge problem. The "social hub" often loads after entering an area, dropping in NPC's and shops seconds after entering the market. Some might call this loading screen simulator, and you'd be right because I've spent two or more minutes most of the time in loading screens. The time played does not justify the loading screens. It does not matter what you're loading, it loads SLOWLY. Probably the biggest redeeming feature about this game is flying. I'd say that this game is worth the $10 that many pawn shops sell this game for if you want something that makes you feel like Iron Man with a gun. Player controls feel good. Enemies are bullet sponges if they are a miniboss or an actual boss. I personally don't mind the pointless decisions made in the social hub, but I know that others do.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Now that the game is getting no more updates, I will review the (not) finished Anthem.

    To no ones surprise, the release of this game was a mess, it was an empty open world, ridden by bugs.
    The Story is boring, and almost non existent, and it honestly is a shame, because in the open world of Anthem, there is potential for a great story, and considering that this is BioWare, the people who made Mass Effect and Dragon Age, the story is a big disappointment. Not to mention, that you will have to sit through countless loading screens while playing Anthem. The Crafting System of the game sucks, because it goes beyond human logic, and requires much more items for a legendary version of a weapon than for the epic one. And since we are talking about loot, the loot in anthem still sucks, because it gives absolutely no reason to grind for better versions of the weapon, since it almost improves nothing.
    The Endgame, which is supposed to give better loot and tougher enemies, is non existent, and sometimes you can beat a boss on hard in 2 minutes with a squad, and sometimes it takes 20 minutes.
    The Menu also is a goddamn mess, with menus being inside of menus inside of menus, which also makes it difficult to find your friends who are also playing the game. With having no main story, it all feels lifeless and boring and is in total an uninteresting and forgettable story. Some NPCs have good lip synchronization, while others have absolutely awful. And of course, still, bugs galore.
    Where Anthem shines is its Flight,Graphics and Gameplay.
    Flying over the world is a glorious experience, combined with some amazing Graphics. And, besides the absolute disaster which is the loot, I have no complaints about the gameplay itself, its solid.

    Well, in Overall, the game is a 3/10 alone and a 5/10 with friends. Yet the lifeless story and the boredom of it are things which are ruining the experience,whoever you are playing with. This game has potential, it always had, and if Anthem NEXT would improve on the Mistakes of Anthem, it would have been a worthy redesign which would be worth coming back to, yet sadly these are all piping dreams.
    While I think BioWare should of course not screw up and focus on ME Legendary Edition and Dragon Age 4, Anthem is still unfinished and a slap to the face to everyone who paid 10$+ for this. It remains a dead game, and BioWares biggest failure to date.    … Expand

    good game! Great flights! Great action!
    The game captured from day one. Upon reaching level 30, interest only increased. I've been playing since January 2021 and regret not starting earlier.

    Starts pretty interesting, until it slams the first "collect 12 orbs" fetchquest in your face, revealing the true nature of the game, then it remains such a trashmob-fetchquest-shooter. And this still almost 2 years after release.

    Paid $7 for this on the Xbox store, and that feels about the right price. It's not exactly a Destiny clone, but it's pretty close.

MMOs sacrifice compelling story and immersion for a more dynamic gameplay experience, but unlike WoW where your party composition dramatically changes how you approach a problem, in Destiny/Anthem it's just slightly different particle effects around each character. Either make an open-world MMO or don't, instanced CO-OP missions are just the worst elements of both 3PS and MMOs.

    Too much is lost in the process of going from a single-player campaign like Titanfall 2 into something like Anthem. You lose all of the heart of a single-player game, and don't gain much in gameplay. Flying around is nifty for about two minutes, until you realize it's still just about ADS and circling enemies over and over.    … Expand

    I love this game. I love the storytelling and the free roaming.
    I was worried about all the 0-rating reviews but fortunately was only angry users with EA without any hours played in game.
    There will be a lot of contents in the near future so I'll waiting for these ...

    Um dos piores jogos já feitos por uma grande produtora, típico da EA Games querer enfiar isso no consumidor e depois dizer que foi culpa da Bioware, já passou da hora dessa empresa lixo tomar vergonha na cara e começar a produzir jogos de verdade e não FIFAs.

    I really think it is would be a good enough game even considering the missions kind of repetitive. It's kind of like 3rd person only Destiny game. But the game was never finished. Shame. Roadblocks are super annoying.

    The game may have had problems at launch, but it's playing now and loving it. Fun mechanics and gameplay. The impressive details in the armor drew attention. The game has some problems of course, it had enormous potential to be perfect: too much information in the lore, uninteresting story, and a more solid world would make it a top 10 gam

    Anthem es un juego de aspecto hermoso y mediocre que necesita un cambio de imagen importante antes de que pueda durar años, no es un mal juego, pero no lo suficientemente bueno como para destacarse de otros, mejores, aparte que sus pantallas de carga son j*didamente eternas.

    I love BioWare Edmonton with a passion from all their other previous games but this... Is sad.... Endgame sucks, customizing is bland... Not many prices to choose from, story is stupidly-short... Sure, the game is pretty an flying is awesome... BioWare you can do better

    In comparison with even the base Destiny 2 – let alone that game expanded by all its excellent DLC – Anthem feels not so much unfinished as barely started. It contains some good ideas which it fails to develop, and some of its basic pillars, such as the insistence on fourplayer co-op, somehow convey the impression of being tacked on rather than fundamental. And even with the huge early patch, it’s still glitchy – we had to play three quarters of a 45-minute Stronghold without sound, for example, which was disconcerting.

    As a multiplayer game, the combat here is fun, but heading back to Fort Tarsis to grab the next quest becomes a chore; I found myself fast-forwarding as much dialogue as possible so I could get back into battle. There are likable characters in Anthem if you pay attention, and Bioware’s depth of story does shine if you’re interested. You won’t always be interested, though.
