While the gameplay with the Javelins, flying, and combos was a lot of fun for most of you, there is considerable room for improvement in many aspects of Anthem.

[…] The game will probably be good by the end of 2019, but right now I can’t imagine I’ll be playing it very long, even though the gameplay is really fun. […]
Comment by Sunface

Even though the problems with Anthem may not bother everyone equally, many of you hope that improvements will come over time. Most see something special in Anthem and believe that it can become really good if Bioware stays committed.

The game fills a niche that neither Destiny nor The Division can accommodate. If BioWare releases additional content, diligently fixes bugs, improves stability, and implements important quality-of-life adjustments, I see a promising future for the game.

Is Anthem worth it for me?

Anthem is worth it for you if:

You enjoy exploring beautiful and atmospheric worlds in games.
You have always wanted to feel like Iron Man.
You like collecting lore snippets scattered throughout the world that provide additional info about the story.
You tend to take your time in games and explore everything thoroughly.
You find the constant grind for new upgrades satisfying.

Anthem is not for you if:

You place a lot of value on getting to the endgame quickly and seeing a lot of content there.
You are looking for PvP content.
You want a story depth like in other BioWare titles.
You have absolutely no patience with bugs and performance issues.
You expect a lot of variety in mission and quest design.

The story divides the MeinMMO readers

Here opinions diverged: Only in the point of story were the MeinMMO users absolutely divided. There was a wide range of opinions and statements.

[…] The game entertained me very well. I find the story, including side missions, absolutely solid.
Comment by Sempertalis

MeinMMO readers like buYanotherSheep and Captain Rex agreed with him. While Captain Rex noted that he would have liked to see more of it.

The small story snippets discovered by the freelancers were rather praised. They provided entertainment value and elicited some chuckles. These include funny radio broadcasts that gave more insight into the characters and the world or quirky adventures like those of detective Hoppel.

Dominion are the main antagonists of Anthem

The user Kristian Steiffen, on the other hand, did not like the story:

[…] The story is… really not worthy of such a great story-making studio like BioWare. The story neither has truly surprising twists, nor a serious “opponent”, nor interesting characters. […]

He is by no means alone in his opinion in the comments.

Quite often, MeinMMO readers have also said that the story in a game like Anthem actually interests them less and therefore it’s not a big problem for them if it’s not that great.

For these readers, the gameplay elements were a more important factor.

It’s a balancing act that the developers are trying with Anthem: fans of single-player games with deep stories might uninstall the game in disappointment after finishing the campaign. Players who want constant co-op action with friends or teammates assigned through matchmaking might be annoyed by the numerous dialogues between missions.

One of the 3 quest NPCs for side missions: Sentinel Brin – she really hates Skar

The community says: Solid foundation with room for improvement

In general, the rating of Anthem among MeinMMO users is somewhat higher than among the trade press.

MeinMMO readers give Anthem 72% in the test

The distribution of votes in the survey: A total of 4,280 users participated in the survey over the past week.

While there were outliers both upwards and downwards, the average rating is 7.17 out of a maximum of 10 points. That would be 72% for Anthem in the MeinMMO reader test in the usual 100-point scoring format.

On Meta-Critic, Anthem stands at 60% on PC.

Anthem is worth it for you if:

You enjoy exploring beautiful and atmospheric worlds in games.
You have always wanted to feel like Iron Man.
You like collecting lore snippets scattered throughout the world that provide additional info about the story.
You tend to take your time in games and explore everything thoroughly.
You find the constant grind for new upgrades satisfying.

Anthem is not for you if:

You place a lot of value on getting to the endgame quickly and seeing a lot of content there.
You are looking for PvP content.
You want a story depth like in other BioWare titles.
You have absolutely no patience with bugs and performance issues.
You expect a lot of variety in mission and quest design.

The story divides the MeinMMO readers

Here opinions diverged: Only in the point of story were the MeinMMO users absolutely divided. There was a wide range of opinions and statements.

[…] The game entertained me very well. I find the story, including side missions, absolutely solid.
Comment by Sempertalis

MeinMMO readers like buYanotherSheep and Captain Rex agreed with him. While Captain Rex noted that he would have liked to see more of it.

The user Kristian Steiffen, on the other hand, did not like the story:

[…] The story is… really not worthy of such a great story-making studio like BioWare. The story neither has truly surprising twists, nor a serious “opponent”, nor interesting characters. […]

He is by no means alone in his opinion in the comments.

Quite often, MeinMMO readers have also said that the story in a game like Anthem actually interests them less and therefore it’s not a big problem for them if it’s not that great.

For these readers, the gameplay elements were a more important factor.

It’s a balancing act that the developers are trying with Anthem: fans of single-player games with deep stories might uninstall the game in disappointment after finishing the campaign. Players who want constant co-op action with friends or teammates assigned through matchmaking might be annoyed by the numerous dialogues between missions.
User review by Christoph Schmeling

The community says: Solid foundation with room for improvement

In general, the rating of Anthem among MeinMMO users is somewhat higher than among the trade press.

MeinMMO readers give Anthem 72% in the test

The distribution of votes in the survey: A total of 4,280 users participated in the survey over the past week.

On Meta-Critic, Anthem stands at 60% on PC.

While the gameplay with the Javelins, flying, and combos was a lot of fun for most of you, there is considerable room for improvement in many aspects of Anthem.

[…] The game will probably be good by the end of 2019, but right now I can’t imagine I’ll be playing it very long, even though the gameplay is really fun. […]

The game fills a niche that neither Destiny nor The Division can accommodate. If BioWare releases additional content, diligently fixes bugs, improves stability, and implements important quality-of-life adjustments, I see a promising future for the game.

Here opinions diverged: Only in the point of story were the MeinMMO users absolutely divided. There was a wide range of opinions and statements.

[…] The game entertained me very well. I find the story, including side missions, absolutely solid.
Comment by Sempertalis

MeinMMO readers like buYanotherSheep and Captain Rex agreed with him. While Captain Rex noted that he would have liked to see more of it.

The user Kristian Steiffen, on the other hand, did not like the story:

[…] The story is… really not worthy of such a great story-making studio like BioWare. The story neither has truly surprising twists, nor a serious “opponent”, nor interesting characters. […]

He is by no means alone in his opinion in the comments.

Quite often, MeinMMO readers have also said that the story in a game like Anthem actually interests them less and therefore it’s not a big problem for them if it’s not that great.

For these readers, the gameplay elements were a more important factor.

It’s a balancing act that the developers are trying with Anthem: fans of single-player games with deep stories might uninstall the game in disappointment after finishing the campaign. Players who want constant co-op action with friends or teammates assigned through matchmaking might be annoyed by the numerous dialogues between missions.
User review by Christoph Schmeling

The community says: Solid foundation with room for improvement

In general, the rating of Anthem among MeinMMO users is somewhat higher than among the trade press.

MeinMMO readers give Anthem 72% in the test

The distribution of votes in the survey: A total of 4,280 users participated in the survey over the past week.

On Meta-Critic, Anthem stands at 60% on PC.

While the gameplay with the Javelins, flying, and combos was a lot of fun for most of you, there is considerable room for improvement in many aspects of Anthem.

[…] The game will probably be good by the end of 2019, but right now I can’t imagine I’ll be playing it very long, even though the gameplay is really fun. […]
Comment by Sunface

The game fills a niche that neither Destiny nor The Division can accommodate. If BioWare releases additional content, diligently fixes bugs, improves stability, and implements important quality-of-life adjustments, I see a promising future for the game.

We wanted to know your opinion on Anthem and you responded: Here’s how the readers of MeinMMO rate the online RPG Anthem (PC, PS4, Xbox One) in the review.

Anthem was one of the games that fans were excited about since the announcement. At MeinMMO, it was the undisputed winner of the poll for the most anticipated games of 2019.

Player expectations were high, and accordingly, the first reactions and ratings for Anthem were controversial.

While the trade press has been quite critical of the game there were many gamers who said that Anthem is fun despite its flaws.

What does the MeinMMO community say now? We asked you to rate Anthem in a survey on a scale from 1 to 10.

A total of 4,280 readers participated, and you also left numerous comments. The average rating was 7.17 out of 10 points.

After a week, a very clear trend emerged, and you often agreed in the comments on most positive and negative points.

Title	Anthem
Genre	Online Action RPG
Release	February 22, 2019
Developer	Bioware
Publisher	Electronic Arts

Fly through the vast world of Anthem

Visually a beautiful game world: One of the points that many of you mentioned right at the beginning of your comments was the world of Anthem.

The world is, according to user comments, very beautiful to look at. The design of the world of Anthem is also praised: it has a mysterious flair and is fun to explore.

[…] Anthem already offers an appealing, pretty world. The graphics are obviously stunning and even run smoothly on my rather old machine. […]
Comment by Kristian Steiffen

The open world needs more content: However, you wish for more variety in this beautiful world. For some MeinMMO readers, there isn’t enough happening in the open world.

Open world events are rare and are not marked on the map. There could also be more wild animals and monsters that would give the world more life.

[…] The variety of world events is a bit scant and repeats quickly.
Kill this, defend that, deliver part A to B. […]
Comment by Pacman

The Javelins are the stars of Anthem

That’s why you liked the Javelins: Another feature of Anthem that most readers agreed on in the comments is the Javelins—the four classes of the game.

This core aspect of Anthem and the gameplay elements associated with it convinced many of you.

[…] The four different Javelins play very differently, and that you don’t have to play everything from scratch for each Javelin is a very good idea. […]
Comment by TomRobJonsen

The Javelins all play differently according to your comments and have their strengths, even if the balance is not yet 100%. The four different mechs cover most playstyles with their builds, and there’s something for almost everyone.

Anthem-Javelins-4-Klassen — Ranger, Storm, Colossus, and Interceptor Javelin

Abilities convey a feeling of strength: The various skills of the Javelin are also convincing. They feel powerful according to reader comments, and the combo system is especially fun in teams with friends.

Even readers who ultimately rated Anthem negatively found the system good.

[…] When I hover over the battlefield, freeze a whole company of enemies, and my buddy smashes down from above with his Colossus, we cheer like little kids when the ice cream truck comes. […]
Comment by Sleeping-Ex

Flying is the most popular feature: Special mention among the features goes to flying. Many of you considered this one of the best features of the Javelins.

Storm Javelin rains death and destruction from the sky

A large portion of readers in the comments praised the wonderful feeling that flying provides and the intuitive control of the Javelins in flight.

[…] Flying is incredible; it’s fun to be able to escape from dangerous situations or simply explore the world. […]
Comment by ChrizQ

Some also expressed slight frustration that flying is time-limited and that due to overheating, you either have to find a waterfall or land.

Gostha said: “The only thing that brings Anthem down for me is the nice weather in the game! I can’t fly for long! Bring on the rain!”

The loading screen of terrible infinity and other bugs

This is what you criticized about the performance: One of the main criticisms of Anthem were performance issues, as well as bugs many of you encountered.

Especially the many and seemingly endless loading screens really annoyed the readers of MeinMMO.

[…] Loading times are pure horror. Because if you don’t catch up with your team in time, you land back on the loading screen […]
Comment by Boki Daja

By now, loading times have improved thanks to the Day 1 patch, and also the forced catching up of stragglers in Anthem has been relaxed, but the issue with numerous loading screens still persists according to you.

A loading screen in Anthem - you encounter them often — Long loading screens were a criticism point for many testers.

Your comments on the bugs were rather mixed. While most readers found them annoying, rather few believed they would completely ruin the fun. Some of the bugs listed included:

Sound bug that causes loss of audio in the game and can only be fixed by restarting.
Repeated crashes on PC and consoles. On PS4, it can even be dangerous for the console.
Connection drops during missions that sometimes lead to loss of loot.
Bug that makes entering the Javelins impossible.
Quest and mission progress sometimes does not update.

In general, you were quite unanimous in the comments that the bugs and performance issues are a problem, but they will still be fixed over time.

Monotonous tasks and lack of endgame

The most criticism was received for the mission and quest design, as well as the endgame of Anthem.

This is what you criticized about the missions: According to the MeinMMO readership, the missions and quests are designed to be far too monotonous. Just like with the world events, more variety was wished for here.

[…] The missions are always of the sort to first go to point A, then to point B, and then to point C. […]
Comment by KronosX2

And many other readers also found that there is room for improvement.

These are the problems with the endgame: The endgame of Anthem is also one of the features that received a lot of criticism.

Many of you felt that the multiple difficulty levels do not compensate for the fact that the missions are monotonous, and there are only three Strongholds.

[…] I think there are too few Strongholds; 3 is really scant, it should already be at least double that. […]
Comment by Kendrick Young

But the lack of variety among enemies was also criticized, and you requested a change in the comments on that point.

[…] Bosses have no mechanics and are just cookie-cutter bullet sponges. Hardly any variety among enemy types, as you feel like you only fight against one of the 3 factions 90% of the time. […]
Comment by LittleEllie

Another problem was the hit feedback during fights. Especially on higher difficulty levels, enemies, like snipers, are often able to send a Javelin to the junkyard with just a few shots.

Accordingly, it was really frustrating for some of you that it was difficult to see where you were being shot from due to the lack of hit feedback.

[…] I never know where I am being shot or hit from, and some of those melee fighters or snipers can hit you hard to 5%. […]
Comment by ConsoleCowboy

Bosses are often described as challenging, but deep mechanics are missed. The Javelins, on the other hand, are currently the key to the complex, varied gameplay:

I particularly noticed the parallels to other MMORPGs and role-playing games here. The use of the specific abilities of individual Javelins and the resulting synergies are key to completing activities at the highest difficulty levels.
At first, I triggered combos with my Storm myself, rarely paid attention to my teammates, and hardly communicated with them. By now, my build consists solely of weapons and abilities that inflict various status effects on enemies to prepare combos for the other Javelins.
User review by Christoph Schmeling

This is what you say about the loot: Your opinions on the loot in Anthem were rather divided. What was predominantly rated well:

The random rolls on gear, which motivate the grind for better items.
The strength of masterwork items, which are noticeably impactful as upgrades.
The various abilities and components that can greatly influence and change builds.
The recent adjustments moved in the right direction.

But there were also negative points you mentioned:

The inscriptions on the items are sometimes totally nonsensical and are poorly explained.
Effort and reward for the higher difficulties of the Stronghold don’t pay off, especially for activities from Grandmaster 2.
Normal and legendary or masterwork weapons look the same; there is no variety in weapon design.
The absence of rerolls.

Summary

Written by

MeinMMO

Obwohl Anthem unter mehreren größeren Problemen leidet, gefällt das Spiel den MeinMMO-Lesern ganz gut. Die meisten von euch haben gesagt, dass das grundlegende Gameplay euch viel Spaß gemacht hat. Bei der Abstimmung ergab sich eine starke Tendenz in Richtung von 7 von 10 Punkten.

Die Kernelemente des Gameplays, die Javelins und Kombos, sind gut ausgearbeitet und benötigen lediglich etwas Politur und Balance-Anpassungen an einigen Stellen. Aber auch in Bereichen wie Spielewelt und Story weiß Anthem zu überzeugen, wenn man der richtige Spielertyp dafür ist.

In den Bereichen Endgame, Quest-Design und Performance herrscht allerdings noch Baustellen-Betrieb. Es ist viel Luft nach oben und an vielen Stellen besteht Verbesserungsbedarf. In erster Linie muss mehr Content und vor allem mehr Abwechslung her, damit sich nicht alle Quests und Missionen gleich anfühlen. Aber auch an dem Loot und Feedback der Waffen sollte noch geschraubt werden.

Bioware hat zwar noch viel Arbeit vor sich, aber viele sind zuversichtlich, dass Anthem sich mit der Zeit zu einem guten Multiplayer-Erlebnis entwickeln wird. Eine solide Basis dafür ist vorhanden. Wenn ihr euch jetzt also noch nicht so richtig an Anthem rantraut, besteht die Option nach einigen Monaten reinzuschauen, um zu sehen wie es sich in der Zeit entwickelt hat.
