About

Anthem is a multiplayer-oriented game where teams of players share a common futuristic world while fighting enemies with the use of their armored power suits.

Premise

The players assume the roles of Freelancers, the warriors who use armored exoskeletons. Those battle suits, called Javelins, grant their wearers superhuman powers and abilities such as flight. The Javelins can be customized and upgraded with various weapons and gadgets. There are four main classes of Javelins, such as the Ranger (the “Jack-of-all-trades”), the Colossus (the party's “tank”), the Storm (high-tech aerial fighter), and the Interceptor (the fast-moving class for close combat).

Setting

The game is set in the future in an alien world. The starting point of the game is Fort Tarsis, in which the players can accept quests and help various factions. From there, they undertake the expeditions into the wilderness. There are four main factions in the game. The Sentinels protect law and order with force. Corvus uses espionage to eliminate the threats. Cypher have superhuman powers like telepathy and making complex calculations. The Arcanists is the faction of scientists and explorers.

Gameplay

The multiplayer mode is the main mode of Anthem. It is cooperative and allows up to four players to participate in a game together. They fight together against the monsters, marauders, and other enemies they encounter. The game also includes a strong RPG element, such as dialogues with non-player characters.

      Anthem reviews and comments

      The epitome of wasted potential.
      Boring
      «Boooring»
      This game was a huge let down.
      I had the 10 hours on EA access so I thought I’d give it a shot because honestly it looked so cool. Visually this game looks great, you can’t knock it for the graphics or art design. Flying around and shooting enemies was pretty fun for the first 3 hours or so... But that joy wears off pretty quick and you start to see how boring the quest structure is. Also a ton of quality of life things in this game. It takes too long to make changes to your class and to get from one mission to another. Too many load screens. Overall by hour 5 or 6 I was done with it. I thought there was no way I wouldn’t at least finish the 10 hour trial, but I didn’t.

      Final Score: B
      After nearly a year since the premiere, I think this is a fun game to play for a while. It has some nice mechanics, flying is awesome, the soundtrack is beautiful and has some great ideas, and the game can be fun. It's definitely not going to kill Destiny and it has flaws - it's a 6/10 in my opinion. 
      «OST on repeat»
      Needs to fix a bunch of things before attempt to be a really good game.
