3. Anthem
Developer: BioWare
Genre: Action
Platform: Windows PC, PS4, Xbox One
How does it play? In Anthem, you take on the role of your character in a Javelin exosuit. You can choose different Javelins that serve as tanks or damage dealers.
The unique aspect is that Javelins can fly, and thus many of the battles take place in the air. Team up with other players to complete tasks or explore dungeons. Strong enemies are waiting in the Strongholds. If you defeat them, you can expect great loot that makes your Javelin even stronger, thus preparing you for higher difficulty levels that promise even better loot.
How does the title monetize? Anthem offers microtransactions for cosmetic items. You can customize your Javelins with skins, decals, or helmets. These items can be purchased with premium currency or with coins that can be earned in-game. There are no pay-to-win elements here.
Additionally, the game itself also requires a purchase.
What interesting developments have occurred in Anthem? At launch, there was a huge hype; players were excited about Anthem. However, even then, there were many critics. Now, weeks after release, many weaknesses in the game are revealing themselves.
The developers regularly communicate with the community to address these weaknesses. Anthem was able to generate more revenue than Apex Legends in February.
