I have been waiting to play this game for a long time now! It is as fun as it looks to fly around and blast creatures. My only issue is the load times. I understand it is a large map, but when I am stuck on a loading screen and a buddy invites me to play Apex, I usually switch games.

The core gameplay loop is fantastic. The Javelins (mech suits) are varied and you unlock them all as you level up. Everything else under-delivers but it's solid to play with a friend considering the deep discount. A revamp of the loot system is expected to release in the future to clean up the game's image but it's unclear when it will be released.

The gameplay loop is fun, but there’s a severely lack of content, seems like a lot of placeholders in the game currently.

The game has a decent story and was enjoyable to play through. It is of reasonable length and endgame options are limited. It’s gotten a bad rep based on high expectations but is a good play through. Javelin mechanics feel natural though the games load times are agonizing.

I really have enjoyed this game so far. Of course this type of game is not a new concept, but it has added spice to the genre. The flying adds a different element & changes up how this type of game is played.

Ah, what great mechanics especially flying mechanics - this game had so much promise and hype and it under delivered to the extreme. So many bugs even months after release, monotonous missions and lack of content in general. The loot system (and loot pool) was so unrewarding.
Do not recommend you buy. I wish i could get my money back.

This is a really fun game and I really enjoy playing it. The problem I run into so many times is that it has a hard time connecting to EA servers so I either can’t play or drops me from a mission. It’s also glitched in certain areas so it will show I didn’t finish a mission when I did. Still a fun game though.

Despite all of the negativity around Anthem, I actually think it’s a fun game to play. Don’t get me wrong, there definitely has to be improvements made to get it back on the right track. But I enjoy it here and there just to play around. At the current state, I don’t think it has the staying power that a lot of games of this type have. But if BioWare/EA make the game more complete overall, I think it could get there.

A lot of hate on this game, especially those whom not even played it. As of release the game offers a lot of destiny like play, and if you don't enjoy pvp, then you'll enjoy the heck out of this. Especially as a mech fighter

its a beautiful game ,great action but it needs workout seems the released it without fully completing the game. They also don’t explain how to achieve objectives and challenges very well. The game suffers from lots of glitches, with moments of screen freezing and lost connections to servers. If the studio can fix these issues with patches, and quickly they can be on point.

I love this game, the graphics are great and story is pretty interesting. The only issue I've had is that one time it kicked me out of the game because of poor connection to the EA servers. Other than that this game has been an amazing playing experience to me.

Game is so close to being great, but falls short in a few areas. Loot system is so broken its insulting, gets repetitive, loading screens are the worst, littered with glitches and bugs. When it does work it is beautiful and super fun to customize your javelin to fit your playstyle. Hopefully EA and bioware can fix the issues with time.

Anthem has potential to be great, and I love playing it, but it needs substantial updates to get to the level it should be. I would recommend waiting a few months to purchase versus buying now, but I believe it will get there!

For $20 or less, this is a good game. But anything more than that, just pass it up. It is fun for a little while, but ultimately very shallow and forgettable. Feels fun to fly like Iron Man and the graphics are pretty. That's about it.
