Best Games Coming Out in February 2019
Anthem (Release Date: Feb. 22)
It’s not often a developer puts the bulk of their weight behind a new IP, but in the case of BioWare’s Anthem, it looks to be a gamble that could be a boon for the developer and players alike.
A third-person action title set in space, the game puts players in the role of a cybernetic suit-equipped mercenary known as a Freelancer.
Tasked with completing missions for the good of humanity and their faction of choice, they must take on interstellar threats alone or alongside allies, all the while working to uncover a plot that could threaten the human race.
Boasting a mix of BioWare’s story-driven trademarks with the multiplayer design of titles like Destiny, Anthem is lush with customization options and player choice alike.
Everything from the color and design of one’s armor to the abilities and techniques one can use in combat are up to players to decide.
Likewise, the game provides support for both single and multiplayer play, allowing players to take on Anthem and its world however they like.
Top it off with some of the most fluid-looking flight-based gameplay around and you’ve got a title that has a high chance of making waves in the industry for years to come.
