Anthem Standard Edition - PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4

Minus some of the glitches and bugs, I loved this game because of the theme and mechanics! You literally feel like Iron Man with a rifle which is super fun. Cutscenes are very enjoyable and the world design is very beautiful to be in.

This price nothing complain. I need to try something different.

I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews about this game but I enjoy playing it with my husband. I really like the action and all the customization options it has. Flying in the air with my Javelin is pretty fun.

I love this game...it's so fun flying around the the open world!!

So those who have tracked this game since it was advertised know that there was a LOT of buzz for this game before it released. Unfortunately, the release date version of this game fell a bit short of expectations. Still, this game has LOTS of potential and it WILL get better and bigger as time goes on since Bioware (the developer) is dedicated to this game for the forseeable future. Anthem plays a lot like The Division would if you could fly and couldn't use the cover system. The combat is fun in that it makes you feel powerful with all of the rockets, guns, and explosions that you can cause your foes. As the title says, it plays a lot like an Iron Man sim because your character flies around in a weaponized cybersuit called a 'javelin'. They feature 4 different suits at launch and each suit has different 'installed' weaponry that go alongside the handheld weapons. There is a decent list of differing types of handheld weapons to find and use which allows you to choose how you like to do your damage. All in all, as the core of the game, this is fun... for a little while. The problem is that the game (at launch) is a little repetitive in comparison to the variety that similar games (Destiny, The Division) provide. The story is kind of drab and the moments outside of the missions get a LOT of mixed reactions from people who've played it. I like the characters you meet and talk to but the 'story' that binds them is kind of uninteresting to me. There is a lot they should explain but don't and most players aren't going to take the time to read all of the material that does if it isn't interesting to begin with. The intent was for this to be a Tom Clancy's The Division or Destiny competitor. Those of us who played the early versions of both of THOSE games remember that those games had content (mostly endgame) issues just like Anthem does. In each of those games, the developer listened to the community, provided free and paid updates in the coming months after launch, and for the most part improved the game. Destiny did better at that than The Division did but there is hope that Anthem will not fall into that trap. Their issue is there was SO much bad press about the game crashing and messing up PS4's (which they did fix in a March update) that many people asked for their money back. I still have my copy in hopes that between now and September that they will provide a host of new updates that will be new modes, missions, javelins, enemies, and so forth. We'll see though...
