Anthem
The first gameplay trailer for Anthem may have featured some cringeworthy voice acting to create a simulation of online play, but that wasn’t nearly enough to overshadow the solid product that was put on display. Anthem drops players in the middle of a massive world that is waiting to be explored. Whether you want to use your Javelin’s jetpack to take a more aerial approach to exploration or dive deep underwater to find a more stealthy path to your destination. Gameplay seems to be very similar to what we’ve seen in Destiny and Destiny 2, which means it will be particularly interesting to see how Anthem performs upon release.
Anthem marks a notable departure from BioWare’s usual focus on deep and thoughtful narrative driven experiences as they instead step into Bungie’s domain of online multiplayer FPS. While it’s still too early to guess whether this will be a success for the developer or not, first looks at Anthem are very promising. Unfortunately, we will all have to wait until fall before Anthem is finally scheduled to release.
