    Great game! But buggy

    The game was really good at launch, but very buggy. I think a big problem with the game so far is the lack of versatility between suits. In game, players can pick 1 of 4 suits. Everyone seems to be playing the “storm” suit, with good reason. Thid makes other suits less rewarding. Many compare this to Destiny2. If it came down to it, this game has great flying mechanics but a lack of fps makes it less “awesome” than destiny. The lack of pvp is also underwhelming. The story is great and gameplay is pretty good though. Definitely able to kill some hours with this. Even better with friends

    Great looter shooter

    This is a fun 3rd person sci-fi shooter. Nice integration of 4-player multiplayer. Lots of customization options. Has the BioWare sci-fi flair. Lots of loot and gear to find and upgrade. If you love sci-fi action games, games like Destiny or Diablo, you will dig Anthem. Well worth it! I've played the Alpha, Beta, pre-release, demo, and this full retail release. It gets refined by the moment, with the first update released just a day after the retail release. Enjoyable game!

    So it turns out that people on the internet love to complain about everything. Was this game perfect? No. Was it complete? No. But it was still incredibly fun and has a ton of potential.

    It's a decent experience. Not as bad as many will make it out to be. The gameplay is fun and it has a good foundation. Just needs more content.

    You truly feel like Ironman. Flying around is a blast and the many abilities at your disposal makes combat always fun and engaging.

    This game has great music, visuals, and the gameplay is quite fun. Taking flight offers something unique compared to other games. The main quests however are lackluster, and there are way too many loading screens. Hopefully the game gets improved in the near future, as BioWare is redesigning the game.

    Although they have improved it, load times are the biggest issue with this game. The gameplay is immersive and fun. It is really designed to be enjoyed by a small group of friends. Even one, make it better than solo play. Also, I like that it isn't focused on PvP, but on more of a RGP/Mission-based approach for upgrading your character(s). I mean who doesn't want to be Ironman, mixed with Thor, etc.

    The game is really nice graphically. It plays well but does have some bugs that should have been corrected before release.

    The load times are way too long and that's with an Xbox One X. Would have given it 5 stars if the load times were normal.

    They got flying like Iron Man perfect, (except for overheating mechanic where you rubber band all over the place) everything else from the odd single player story you actually are encouraged to play co-op (they treat your companions like they don't exist), to the repetitive missions which are either too easy or unplayable due to difficulty spikes. It doesn't matter which difficulty you choose, most "HARD" missions were a breeze then every once in a while you just get a mission where you are inexplicably one shot for an entire mission. Has 1 mission our entire squad wiped almost 15 times. Then there are ALL the bugs and crashes including one that I thought was going to blow up my XBOX. Hopefully they fix all this in a few months, I'll definitely try it again if I hear some of the fixes actually work but now it's a complete mess of a game and I'm really disappointed.

    Originally when this game released it was set to be a large expanding universe game similar to Destiny. It never really picked up online and the communities that played it were small. For this and other reasons the game to this point hasn't had much added to it since release. Though EA has announced it plans to continue to support the game and almost redo it in parts. The gameplay and game is fairly sound with your character starting from a central hub and then going on missions and Raids of the local planet. Boss fights are pretty fun and the loot drops are decent. The main story mode is fun enough to play through at least once, but at this point there really isn't much reason to keep playing after that. If you can pick this game up on a sale, it's a fun experience. But at the time of writing, don't expect to get more than your original playthrough out of it.
