By the time I had advanced far enough in the game to feel ready for the Echoes of Reality Cataclysm event, I learned that it had already come to a close.Īnd yet somehow, I found myself still playing - and actually enjoying myself. Glitches are still relatively common, as I found myself booted out to the start menu more than once. Freeplay is boring and not worth the time, but the Tombs of the Legionnaires challenges force you into it.
The game relentlessly pushes you towards playing publically, which I hate doing. The loading screens are annoyingly long, even after patches specifically intended to cut them down. And it turns out that my first impression was pretty much in line with that of launch day critics. I’ve played a ton of BioWare games - some of which are all-time favorites of mine - but given that the critical response was mixed at best, the bar was low. Going in this far out from the hype, I didn’t expect much from Anthem. And since I bought it, you can now find it for even less than I paid - in some places, it’s down to $10. The game was already on sale back in March. But eight months out from launch, after a release plagued with issues and a failure to sustain ongoing interest, it doesn’t seem so strange. Back when developer BioWare was hyping it up as the new prestige multiplayer game, a sci-fi action experience to rival Bungie’s Destiny, that would have seemed impossible.
