Anthem Standard Edition - PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5

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...

Good addition to my gaming collection!! Perfect service and no issues with my purchase. Thank you Best Buy!

This games no goods they request to pay membership before to play this games . My son doesn’t like it.

I purchased this on day one and loved it. I played the whole campaign and side missions in about two months. After the completion I didn’t pick anthem up until a few weeks ago when Cataclysm came out, the new endgame content. And let me tell you it is amazing! Everything about Anthem now is top notch, I can’t put it down. Now that the game is $20 I think it’s a no brainer to get into the world that is Anthem!

I loved playing this game! Yes you need an active PS Plus (or Xbox Live depending on your system) subscription to play. So add that expense in if you don't already have it. This game has gotten a lot of grief on its repetitiveness, but I feel like that is most MMORPG games. EA has recently announced that they are working on completely revamping the game, so we shall see how that goes.

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.

Good game at a good price. I got this for $10 . Its a good shooter

Game has some decent flavor. HOWEVER... it needed more time before releasing. The frequency of crashes and log in issues were enough to put me off. I don’t mind grinding for gear but if I play for an hour, I don’t need to lose my gear due to a crash. Very frustrating. Menus are cumbersome as is the Forge system. You should be able to use gear on the fly. Not wait. Hope the game doesn’t crash and lose it all. Then get to the Forge to check it out. Shooting and flying mechanics are awesome though. You do feel pretty powerful. For a multiplayer game, it was hard to find people to do activities with. I’d be cautious with a purchase because I don’t know that there will a player base in a month or two.
