    Went into anthem with low expectations following the beta and mostly wanted to give support to bioware. Game didnt last long for me. Visually the game has its moments especially with the suits and particle effects when the action is going down. Ridiculous load times, the hub world is a drag to get through. Mission variety is meh and when in a group always forced teleported back on course is absurd. The best part is flying around coming In to enemy groups wreaking havoc really give u that Iron Man feel. Even with alot of updates the game really hasn't moved forward and living up to potential

    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!

    Anthem only has one glaring issue....the load times are a little horrible for a modern game. That being said, the game is fun and allows people to customize their armor the way they see fit. There are microtransactions in game, but they're only used to get cosmetics, and all cosmetics can be earned with in game currency, which is earned somewhat easily.

    yes I read and heard all the review at how unsatisfying this game is. but I still chose to purchase and play it for myself because I cant judge base on people's bias agenda. from my experience it has been ok. it can be better yes. lets hope bioware continues to work and make it better. this game is meant to be played with friends in squad. control is responsive, sound and voice acting are on par and the facial animation and overall designs are amazing. im giving it a 3 star for now because there are still room for improvements. best to wait, unless you don't care like me or others who are playing it.

    Honestly I thought the game was going to be a bust because all I heard before it’s release was it’s bugging, it should be delayed, EA is behind it. All those worries were gone day 1, I haven’t experienced any serious issues, the game runs well, and I really enjoy the mechanics and personality Bioware put into this game. It has content for days plus they’re going to add more in the future so you can’t go wrong giving this game a try.

    I just love the game. Honestly is one of the best multiplayer games I can name lately, Better than Destiny, 1 and 2, Better Than the Division, GOW, I would compare it with Halo 3 back in the day. Good history and even without PVP (as far as I know) is great playing with others. The only reason I don't give this 5 stars is that I've had several connection issues, which can be frustrating, hopefully, they will fix this soon.

    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 bought around thanksgiving for low price. I knew nothing about it before purchase.It plays like Destiny, it’s an online game only, and better if you have a friend to play with. I bought a few so I could play with my friends and we enjoy it

    The premise which gives you the freedom & ability to fly as a javelin team interaction in an open world in which its lush lavish environment & plenty of activities throughout this game are abound was shown at E3 & just like the original WatchDog you remember the ole switcharoo show one thing do another well Anthem delivers & beckons you to hold the beer as the up the ante on false advertisement . The game at times is beautiful the ability to fly is exhilarating four(4) Javelins with unique abilities, in theory, seems awesome but its execution is so poorly done I looked up the trade value by the following week. I am almost certain the repetitive nature and lackluster weapons and customizable armor and weapons are grade school level bad. Look up the weapons some of the most poorly crafted boxes of cereal that shoots bullets inspired designs. Pop-ins, as well as Pop outs of enemies rivals, Fall Out 76's disaster just not as intentional I say that because I can tell that the creators BioWare had something special brewing the problem is it was lost in translation & once again consumers are relegated to being test dummies than the price drop 100+ GB's of updates & by August the game plays a lot better than release nah avoid this game bare minimum two more months you will thank me & get it half the price

    This game has so many promising aspects, but as an aspiring YouTuber covering this game religiously, I have a hard time trying to maintain interest when the content that was launched was very minimal, and there still has been little changes in that regards. Tons of bug fixes, and balances, but other than that, no new content. This game will great in another 2 months, but will anyone care?

    Gameplay is pretty fun, but that's pretty much it. So many loading screens will drive you crazy, and there are some mechanics to the game that they put in that you will not like. You can't equip a new weapon or something you got, until you go back to the Forge and equip it. You can't go from one mission to the next. You have to go back (through a loading screen). You spend more time of the game at Fort Tarsis or the Forge than you will playing, most likely. If they make fixes and improvements, it could be sooooo much better.

    This is a great game but it has a lot of bugs and server issues. Hooefully they fix it but there is a lot of potential. There's plenty to do with story missions, side missions, freeplay, and exploring. They took the problems with destiny and fixed them with solo play with the possibility of matchmaking.
