Anthem

For a casually, fill an hour gap in your day. Let's do a mission or two. This game is ok. Maybe that's what BioWare was aiming for. But if you're looking for anything else in you're games, I'd keep a wide birth of Anthem.

Every part of this game seems to have potential but then something just ruins it.

1. Flying is really fun. Except you have to fly to every single mission across really annoying terrain. Then fly to the next part of the mission across really annoying terrain and then.... you get my point. With the overheating aspect it just makes flying a tedious task and no longer fun.

2. Story was just getting started. The story is quite bland but the characters are interesting. Shame the story ends just as it feels worth playing. You finally get through the grind and repetitive missions for something so built up you're starting to enjoy them and then it's just oh so that was it.

3. The game is to updated from players feedback. That's all good for bugs and glitches maybe, even game mechanics but, the 'teaser' they give for 'Act 2' (why they have split the story up to be released over patch's and updates is beyond me, I'm not sure how the player feedback is going to help with that - unless we're writing the story for them or it's just a ploy in thoughts that it will keep players playing) is just, yeah and....? I just felt so disapppinted with it, I just lost all interest in the characters and world. I'd happily watch from Fort Tarsis and do nothing about it.

4. The characters Can potentially be well rounded and lovable. If you excuse the lack luster interactions between your character and them, where they basically talk at you and won't decide anything for themselves without your input about what exactly to do, they feel really well rounded in ways. The fact that the characters all have their own quirks and individuality makes the fact that you can't really do anything beyond listen to them, means you feel like you can't create a friendship (or anything more) with any of them. Making your interactions feel more like a therapy sim then anything else.

I have other things I could say but this is already getting too long. Overall maybe try this game in a few years when it's been updated a few times but for now. Not worth the price tag or time.

I had such high hopes for this game and when the first trailer dropped. It looked amazing:the graphics, the gameplay, the mechanics put into the game, being able to fly around like Iron man, all of it looked amazing. I knew that EA had been having some difficulties with past games, but I figured I would give them a chance with Anthem. When the beta came out the game was great, it was laggy as expected, but it was still great. But when I got the full game on release day, it took me less than 24 hours to finish the game, and then it got boring quick. And the open world of Anthem wasn't that great either. It was so much smaller in game than it appeared in the trailers.

Great gameplay smooth graphics interesting story but needs a couple tweeks: Stop dropping servers in the middle of missions...biggest gripe Stop nerfing drops Add options so players can play again with randoms within the game Allow players to select a javelin without having to go through the forge screen Load screens ok, a bit long but worth it, shorter would be better but when is that not true. Javelin activation screens always seem to stop early then go to load screens.

The gameplay is good but the game crashes alooooooot And I wish to have a refund.

Didn't pay much attention to the release of this as so many other games released I was more interested in getting. Got the free demo from Ea app and loved it. Immediately thought of destiny and how simular they were. Loved desti y but got so bored of it. Love this and it can only get better.
