Love the customization options. Gameplay is slightly repetitive but still remains interesting throughout

The game needs more content. Such a massive open world and not much to do. Good concept though.

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.

Overall good game graphics look good on the Xbox 1 X. The loading times are a bit lengthy.

The game is actually fun. It is sad to see so much wrong with the game's development and management, but it doesn't mean that I wouldn't play this for hours. The biggest problem with the game though is that you are limited to only ONE save, ONE character per account that you use. I'm not sure why this is so, but it is the dumbest idea I've ever seen in any video game I've ever played.

At the very base of it, I am enjoying it. It has good graphics and the story is entertaining enough. However all of the problems you read online have truth to them. It is close to being a good game but a lot of changes need to be made.

Great game. The reviews hurting the game are because of long load screens and day one bug issues with crashes and audio issues. Recent developer patches have corrected some of these issues.
Best Buy didn’t honor pre-order game bonuses. Don’t pre-order games from Best Buy

Lot of negative press, but I am enjoying it. The flying is a blast, the world is stunning, not your typical RPG from BioWare so don’t expect that. The lore is here, just more of a self discovery story approach. So far I’m enjoying a lot more than expected, will see what endgame content holds and any updates to the game as promised.

I've been anxiously awaiting this game's release since it was first announced. I am happy to state that I am enjoying it every bit as much as I thought I would, especially when I group up with my family and friends for some online multiplayer adventures! The only negative, hence the 4 stars, is that the load times are ridiculously long.

If you ignore all the haters and you are into a good single player sci-fi rpg video game then this is a good one! I’m not into the multiplayer aspect, so my views are not regarding that at all. I loved the art work, visuals, flying around and the story. Time well spent!

A beautiful looking game with great open world functions, and it plays a lot like the Destiny games. The main difference is instead of a "humanoid" character to play, you're a suit of armor. Not a lot of difference in game mechanics there from Destiny, just the look and feel. I'm optimistic for lots of potential in this game.

I love flying, zipping in and out of combat and switching between melee combos and gunplay. But just about everything else is meh. Also the servers are pretty barren now, you will likely play alone

While I like Anthem, it's clearly an unfinished game. There's no doubt. The strongest point of the game are the Javelins themselves. Think of Iron Man armor loaded with weapons with tons of customization. They fly, go underwater, run, jump, and deliver mayhem to the enemies in Anthem. Loads of fun just running around with these things. However, the rest of the game has problems. Bugs, lack of mission variety, lack of enemy variety, scaled down graphics, questionable loot drops and a pretty weak end game. Sure, this will all probably be fixed eventually, but I have a dim view of releasing unfinished games. I would say wait a few months before buying. By then, I will be able to recommend it to a friend.

Great game with unique style play for a looter shooter. Very family friendly too. Appropriate for teens and up, very little language (almost none), no sexual situations at all and all violence is very simplistic and not embellished. Hopefully more content will be developed soon to keep the game growing.
