BioWare presents a truly amazing role-playing videogame. - Ultimate Guide

BioWare has released really amazing role-playing games like Mass Effect and Dragon Age, so fans with the new release of the company, Anthem, an open-world video game that consists of an online loot shooter, will find a quite different game experience. to the usual and possibly does not meet expectations.

 

Electronic Arts made the decision to make a stepped release of this new title, therefore, since last Friday, some players with memberships can already enjoy the final version of this game (PC players and Xbox One) before it arrives to the stores on February 22.

Anthem has a certain resemblance to the deliveries Destiny or The Division, because after the extensive campaign comes a postgame where you will find better and bigger rewards, as well as confrontations with more difficult bosses.

 

Something that differentiates Anthem with the competition is the use of a flying mechanism as if you were Iron Man, which helps you to be above the battlefield and exchange between classes because your character is a pilot who dominates the different suits. Although it may be impressive at first, it ends up being somewhat disappointing that the environment of the world prevents you from freely using this flying skill, even the jungle environment does not generate interest in exploring it.

However, this title lands on the market in a spectacular way, and it can be excessively chaotic from many points of view, so people who have accessed Anthem in advance, have revealed their reviews or early impressions, some with ratings and other without them. Many agree that the game seems not finished, that the story is mediocre and that flight is not so good. So, below, we leave you some important industry reviews:

 

Kallie Plagge (GameSpot) said that he was playing Anthem's disparate missions with the intention of trying different weapons or special attacks, combining with the whole flight, felt a stimulus to move forward. He also said he hoped to take advantage of the story as he goes, but that is difficult because everything seems too generic to feel hooked to the game, while still playing on the PC. On the other hand, pointed out that it has been expelled by server problems only on two occasions and that its full review will arrive in the coming days.

Sam Machkovech (Ars Technica) in his review expressed his strong impressions, but without giving a score:

"This game is amazing at its best, but it's just not finished, it's not fun to have sessions with friends that are constantly interrupted, it's not fun to keep coming off the main map just to see my loot and the search rhythms. Fight these bored evil people in these boring missions, over and over again ... It's not fun to be confused by the lack of information everywhere Anthem has flashes of being a really good game, but what's the point if it's not fun? " .

Russ Frushtick (Polygon) did not disclose his score, but his opinion about the game, making it clear that BioWare has done a good job with his new release. Russ felt like a sci-fi superhero when playing, however, he believes that the way Anthem can survive in the market is if BioWare clarifies his identity and focuses on giving priority to the right elements, so he can make an effort to play instead of the game just keeping it occupied. Finally, he added that he already has that feeling of knowing where the game is going, but what really worries him is the time it may take to get there.

Mike Williams (USGamer - Uncharted): "It's a beautiful game in which the movement is unique and liberating, the story throws a lot of attention to the players and some of the characters feel like live mannequins, but there are also highlights. The overall cycle of the mission seems to have too many operations and too much downtime It feels like the first Destiny: it's an intriguing start, but there are several problems that need to be solved What is frustrating is that many of these problems have already been solved by other MMOs It's disconcerting for me, that Anthem seems to be starting from scratch, even if I'm sure BioWare will do whatever it takes to improve the post-launch. "

Some of these analyzes are still in progress, because as mentioned above, the game has not been officially released and it is likely that BioWare will take these opinions into account and decide to improve some things in the post-launch. But despite this, some have ventured to give a score to the game already: Destructoid 7/10, Gamersky 70/100, Flickering Myth - 5.5 / 10, Boomstick Gaming - 6.9 / 10. In itself, for now Anthem has an average of 70 out of 100 as a score
