Anthem, BioWare's brand new sci-fi title, has finally arrived after a long wait. But was the wait worth it?
Anthem, BioWare's latest in a long line of science-fiction games, represents a bold new direction for the studio. After several critically acclaimed singleplayer RPGs ranging from classics like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic to the masterpiece that is Mass Effect 2, BioWare has crafted something wholly different that feels like a mixture of several different experiences. Destiny, The Division, Diablo, and BioWare's own RPG titles are all clear inspirations for Anthem and its design philosophies. But does this recipe work?
Yes and no. There's an amazing game here, but it's being smothered by countless issues. As much fun as I've had during my 30 hours with Anthem, I can't deny that part of me feels like I should wait for improvements to arrive before continuing my journey.
