Anthem Reviews
Anthem is a game that requires patience and time to be fulfilling. It is more about the journey and experience of becoming a legendary Freelancer, than it is about being 'all-powerful' and grinding for the next piece of loot. With that said, there is no denying that the game has many flaws. From a lacklustre campaign, through to unusual omissions in tutorial management, many of the game's issues are inexcusable. Despite this, there is something truly special about Anthem. Perhaps it is the exceptional visuals and audio, coupled with sublime platforming like gameplay, that is addictive. It could also be the interesting and overarching narrative that leaves players yearning for more. Either way, Bioware and EA will hopefully take the time to make the game as legendary as it is trying to be.
Even if the content is improved, something we take for granted, it is the structure of Anthem that does not allow it look complete, condemning it to look like a test title compared to other games of the genre.

Anthem falls way short of the hype due to repetitive missions and lack of content.
Anthem is an ambitious project and it paid off for BioWare in some measure. The gameplay is spectacular, the story is good and has a challenging endgame. But annoyances sometimes spoil it and it's up to BioWare to fix those problems for the future.

Anthem has a great potential. But right now, it has a few problems.

BioWare put a lot of effort into Anthem but every single brilliant idea is overshadowed with something boring or shallow.

At this point in time, Anthem feels like a title that needs more work. I want to like it, but damn does it make it hard. Like the games that came before it in this genre, I’ve no doubt that Anthem will get better and bulkier with updates over time, but if Bioware takes too long in getting there, I fear most of the player base will have moved on.
I will review the game again after a year of new content and patches, with the hope that Bioware still exists. And I can only hope that they return to do what they know best, and that is adventures with great characters and engaging stories.
Despite the fact that the gameplay and the graphics are high quality and the game has its own share of fun and memorable moments, for now the game remains a unrealized potential. Anthem needs improvement in many departments: story, level design, boss fights, looting and more content in general. As of this piece, the game doesn't have much to entertain a gamer for hundreds of hours. There seems to be a long time schedule for supporting Anthem and evolving the game. It remains to be seen wether Bioware will fill the world with new contents and items, cause right now Anthem has the markings of a great shooter looter.

Anthem has a chance to become a good game somewhere down the line, but right now it's a huge disappointment.

Bioware's new live service shooter, Anthem, may be off to a rough start, but the core gameplay is still fantastic, and there is definitely hope for the future.
A good cooperative system, excellent gameplay and other qualities in the new world created by BioWare can not be ignored by the various errors that the game presents. Anthem seems limited and incomplete in its launch, but can receive several changes in the coming weeks and become a much better game in a few months. Today the game does not stand out among the various loot shooters already on the market, but maybe this can happen when its potential is fully achieved.

Perhaps it will get better, but whether the audience is still there when it does is questionable. Cool flying mechanics can only keep the interest of the masses for so long.
Despite all the negative aspects, I don't close the door to the possibility that Anthem could be a good game in the future, because it has really good ideas and fun mechanics. I'm sure BioWare will do its best to make Anthem a success story. But one thing is certain and that is Bioware had released Anthem without learning from other examples like The Division and Destiny.

Anthem struggles to deliver an engaging and ongoing experience to return and grind every day. Even if you manage to look above his flaws, like underwhelming loot design, mission structure and rigid combat, there is little joy to be found in this game.

Anthem is a game that didn't use a lot of its great potential. On one hand, some of the gameplay mechanics like flying is very well implemented and it also has very beautiful visuals, but on the other hand, the singleplayer and multiplayer aspects of the game contradict each other. Both are well implemented separately, but when they are put together, they just don't work well. The story also didn't come up to the expectations we have from BioWare. At all, Anthem in its current state is just simply a normal good game and nothing more.
