I originally rated this game a 4 at launch due to all the bugs, glitches, crashes and broken content, but it had potential. Then it was patched and I gave it a 7 as it was much better and had room for greatness. Today it is canceled . . . but I have to ask myself why did this game fail? Was it because the controls or UI were broken? No. Was it because the graphics and visuals were bad? No. Was it because the gameplay or mechanics were disconnected, unintuitive or broken? No. Was it because the campaign plot, story, or narrative were crap, slop or broken? Again - NO. For all those considerations this game was, as good as, if not better than Destiny! And based on what can only be called sabotage by the developer . . . that is why I pushed the rating to a 10 - to give it what it deserved, but not what EA ever allowed it to earn. What broke Anthem was simply - no content. It ran out of stuff to do and loot to earn. There wasn't just "little" support for it - there was NO SUPPORT FROM EA AT ALL! Anthem was the game we wanted it, how we wanted it, and apparently, aside from a single sale/buy EA couldn't figure out how to market this game for a DLC / micro-transaction cash printer, and eventually they couldn't get out of their own way to be able to push the button on the hit they had and we all wanted. For me this will always be the "one that got away"! Long live the King that never was!

Gioco ad Anthem dal Day 1 e lo sempre trovato un gioco pazzesco divertente con meccaniche di volo incredibili e un ambientazione stupenda, sul combat sistem e i contenuti poveri sinpoteva fare qualcosa di più...è un gioco che ha del potenziale incredibile, basta solo crederci e lavorarci su e tutto si può **** che i server sono stati chiusi un giorno fa spero che gli sviluppatori riprendano in mano il progetto per un reboot perché ripeto il gioco ha del potenziale enorme!!! Pongo le mie speranze per un reboot di Anthem....magari proprio Anthem Next!

It's the final day of Anthem, January 12th 2026. Servers were just shut down a couple of hours ago, making this great game unplayable, unfortunately. I had a blast with it, played it for 30+ hours in the final week. Mechanically this was one of the best action games with superb movement - flying, hovering, dashing, double jumping, diving deep underwater and rocketing back up to the air like a missile - and punchy combat with tons of guns and magic-like special powers. In 4-player co-op on hard level it was relentless chaos and destruction. The game offered many ways to customize and upgrade your mech and the hunt for various upgrade materials was addictive. Bioware also built an original world for Anthem with a fascinating back story, with striking, vertical-heavy scenery, strange wildlife and varied locations. Back at the home base you had relationships with various interesting NPCs in typical Bioware fashion, giving you a nice break from the battlefield. Missions were samey, but the fun combat always outweighed that. So farewell to all freelancers and thanks for the memories Bioware.
