Russ –
The gameplay is actually fun just it does have some bugs and the story mode is short and not a lot of content for a $60 game but soon they are releasing new DLC so hopefully they can turn it around.
MrSpiffy –
Love the game it is a ton of fun the game play feels really smooth as well
Elric –
It’s good not great looks good plays good everything else mmmhhh
Golden –
The initial grind to level 30 is kinda fun, minus the walls you hit in the campaign. No spoilers. End game is kinda lacking at the present time.
Jayqone –
Not the best game I’ve played, there was a lot of hype for this game but for me I ask why, game play is okay at best and for the price point not worth it I feel I paid $65 for $15 game. I’ve only played it the first day I bought it and played for a few hours and I don’t feel the want as I do many other games. The load time between sessions is way to long and is discourages me to continue.
KidChaos –
I haven’t seen a game made so well by EA in a long time, the flight mechanics are great, the storyline is great, the load outs and weapons are great as well
Ls07 –
Game is alright. Was definitely rushed. Graphics are amazing.
Russell –
Not a game I would recommend cool for about 2 hours then it’s just the same ol song and dance
RichG –
The core Anthem gameplay is everything I hoped it would be. Playing out Iron Man fantasies whilst flying around tossing fireballs, lightning bolts and a hailstorm of lead is intensely fun and satisfying.
Which makes it a little disappointing that some of the background systems, the narrative approach and the sheer amount of content can be so lacking. For a loot shooter it has more minimal build options and visual customization than it should. Endgame content is scarce and navigating the story environment (Fort Tarsis) is sluggish and a little boring.
Luckily, all of that fades away when you hop in your javelin and fly around the world looking for a fight.

I have put 80 hours into this game so far. The gameplay is good and very fun. But there are problems with bugs, low loot drops, etc that if not fixed could ruin the game.
Marks –
The game is very fun, but there are some bugs that need to be worked out.
Buffy –
This game is fun! Good story, especially if you are into reading lore. Characters you can fall in love with. Playing with the javelins and getting loot is a blast. Unfortunately once you finish missions and the story the only thing to do is grind.
Anthony –
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
User –
Don’t get too caught up with the critics. Every time you launch into the open world it’s unlike anything you’ve played before. It’ll only get better with time once more content is available
Teej –
Game is okay, nothing compared to its presentation at e3 though
Brink76 –
We’ve enjoyed this game as it’s a good mix between Destiny and Titanfall.
Lee1978 –
This game is great it has some glitches at first that made it unplayable but with the updates it’s not as bad. It is annoying feeling the game was not finished at the start but it will be better over time hopefully. The loot drop rate was fine before hand. When you have non mmo players complaining about a drop rate because they are used to getting good loot constantly through other games is crazy. But the game is great
PrimoMojoTX –
Fun game, pure and simple. I enjoy the game and play it almost daily. Being able to fly is really cool. The combat mechanics are fun and work well with the 3rd person view. I like that each Javalin is completely different and has it’s own unique abilities. Speaking of which, the abilities are lots of fun. It’s just a joy dropping a massive lightening strike or cluster of missiles on an enemy. Anthem got a bad reputation at launch which I don’t think was fair. Sure it a had a few bugs but a lot of games do at launch so this was nothing new and the issues weren’t really that bad. The developers have been constantly fixing things so it keeps getting better. All I can say, is don’t believe all the negative press about this game, try it for yourself.
Jago –
I didn’t get the code until 4 am. Everyone else was playing while I was just waiting. Couldn’t download early or nothing.
Keldar –
I love this game. Hopefully Bioware keeps their support up. The flight system and graphics alone are worth the money to me.
SickofGameDevGreed –
Anthem is adding to the list of games that is released at about 70% completion to get a boost of cash flow and give them time to complete the rest of the game. It is still plauged by constant server issues weeks after launch where you feel that you wait on a loading screen longer than you play the game. That being said I did enjoy playing through the storyline even though it was incredibly predictable and really had no surprises. There is no real end game besides playing the same missions over and over again in the hopes of getting a ledgendary that drops 1 in about 30 to 45 missions. Right now this game is getting some shelf time until the game has been completed by the developers and I will give it another shot.
Lildavey –
Some really awesome core gameplay ideas, unfortunately there’s just not enough content to warrant a full game. Perhaps there will be more content added post launch.
WickedWisdom78 –
Anthem is a fun game with a lot of potential. It’s visually stunning, Combat mechanics are solid, and the story is decent. Hopefully the game will Continue to prove with each update and DLC
pfchen25 –
awesome effects. great price. easy to install and use
RateMeNow –
Good game couple minor issues but they are fixing them. Over all 4.5/5
Christine –
Having the maps book makes a difference but the book is hard to find. Fun game but easy to brat
Julie –
The game started off good but the servers need work for stability and the story is repetitive and does not keep you engaged.
Chris –
I am a big fan running or flying around the world or areas that a game has. ANTHEM has done really well and it looks amazing!
theFUTURE –
Having a blast playing this game with friends and just going through the campaign. It does get a little repetitive and there are a number of glitches (some that have been fixed already) and other improvements that are needed (more armor would be ideal).
Lgeninchrg –
Bought this for my 15 year old son and he is happy.
MichaelDee –
Not as fun as I had hoped. It failed to keep me playing.
DrAcu –
Great game, easy download. 1st time I downloaded a game online / bestbuy and it was great! Played the game within minutes!
Yesi –
I bought this game as a gift for my son. He enjoys playing it very much.
Temporarymaniac –
This review is on gameplay. Lots of fun with flying and combat as well. They are trying to improve the loot system and buy does it. If you want to fly around and have fun good game to get.
Joshoatt –
Firstly I like the game, but its laggy, has a very shallow story and lore. And the fact that bioware is now stopping support for this game to make Dragon Age 4 is infuriating. Literally wish I could get a refund. Do not buy this game unless you’re looking for a reason to hate yourself
DeviceMX –
My friend recommended downloading this game, so I did. He said it would be fun. It’s not. Dialogue is garbage. Graphics are pretty awesome, though. The gameplay is rather dull. It was a waste of my money, and now I’m sad.
GTS4 –
This game is a lot of fun and recommend to anyone who wants to play great game.
Lizardlips60 –
Decided on buying the digital copy of this game so I don’t have to worry about the disk getting scratched. Awesome game.
slimshady –
The game play is amazing but the game is dead! Hopefully new content and players to come.
Joesr –
This game didn’t hold me down as long as I would have liked but I still had good times with friends while I was on it (I think that is really what makes a game, which of your friends get the game as well, lol).
Now digital wise, BB messed me up at first. I didn’t receive my code at launch which sucked. And then the first code didn’t include the bonus items for preordering so I go another code. Eventually everything got fixed but grrr, as a gamer, you all know the importance of getting on game day one to play with your friends, so eh.
Squid –
Fast delivery, good game. Gave as a gift to my boyfriend and he seems to like it
Mike –
Fun but needs more content. Game for loot but loot is limited. Could be a great game
Printerschamp –
Bought this game on a whim. It is fun enough, but I lost interest in it after about 10 hours. It is the same rinse and repeat shooter looter.
Gabe –
Had a lot of hype behind this game. It’s worth checking out but not as cool as it seems.
Rhykor –
This game isn’t for everyone, but if you like flying around like Iron Man and using crazy powers with a very long list of items to explore, then you will love this game! It is a little slow to get started but then it becomes addictive and you want to finish every mission and side quest. This was a great addition to the game library in my opinion and it is an underrate title for sure.
Mrkii –
Great idea just poorly exhibited. Hopefully they can fix it. Till then my review stands.
BootStrap –
Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype and plans to better were cancelled.
klicker –
Don’t let the haters deter you at this point. The low price you pay for it is worth the gameplay.
Voodootomato –
Absolutely terrible game.. stay away from it all cost
Chris –
i was very disappointed in this game. it is fun at first but fades fast.
