What fans love about the new Stronghold: In the Anthem subreddit, many players praise the design of the new Stronghold. The atmosphere is great and overall a wonderful and impressive experience.
Particularly well-received is the final area where you face the boss: Players fly through a water-flooded tunnel upwards. The tunnel reveals a round arena surrounded by a rolling wall of waves. Above, a cloudy sky moves.
The final boss enters the area through this impressive wave wall.
What fans criticize about the Stronghold: Especially the final boss himself is criticized by some players. According to several posts, the enemy simply has too much HP. The boss “The Unfathomed” has 110,432,269 HP on the difficulty GM3, which is why he is already referred to as a “sponge” by some freelancers.
Furthermore, the boss has an ability that knocks players out of the Javelin with one hit – and he uses it very often and gladly.
There is also criticism of the mechanics in “The Sunken Cell”. Players are confronted with many familiar puzzles and have to once again collect echoes or stand in a green circle for an activity.
At one point, there is a color puzzle where players must coordinate entering platforms in a specific order. It is criticized that there is no text chat to quickly communicate with teammates.
