And now for the catch-all caveat: Anthem is an ongoing game. Like Destiny 2, like The Division, like even Rainbow Six Siege, there's the potential for EA to build on this foundation, address the problems I've noted here, add in new loot and new enemies an...
Abstract: Should a good game end?Intense, cinematic fare like The Last of Us, Bioshock and Hellblade would argue so. All things are finite and, besides that, endings have power. They allow you to offer closure and put a bow on things. Better to craft an experience...

When playing Anthem, we quickly found that DLSS acted differently at different resolutions, a result that we didn't expect. At 1440p, we found that images appeared as if they were artificially sharpened, whereas 4K images were cleaner and less grainy as a...
Fantastic graphics, Great character models and facial animations, Some fun gameplay moments
Serious server issues and bugs, Poorly paced story, Loot grind is tedious and feels pointless, End game has nothing interesting to keep players invested, Slow loading, Too many loading screens
Anthem mimes shoot-and-loot games, but doesn't do enough to stand apart from the competition. Plus, bugs and tedious level design mar a potentially entertaining title...

Anthem manages to offer up moments of fun, with occasionally chaotic action, Javelin gameplay variety and freeform traversal. But an overly convoluted and forgettable story, underwhelming RPG elements and outdated design choices make for a rough introduct...

Bugs, crashes, bad optimization, repetitive objectives, horrible load times and lots more, unfortunately, overshadow the game's great flight and combat system...
Anthem seems to be a solid foundation buried under a mixture of problems. While some bugs are minor, some of them are game-breaking enough to even cause a system crash. It's really unfortunate, because I actually like playing Anthem. I really wanted it...
