Anthem - Legion of Dawn Edition (PS4)

Ist Anthem wirklich so schlecht? Schwierig, da es ein solides Spiel mit viel Potenzial ist. Könnt ihr euch damit anfreunden, dass noch einige Probleme vorhanden sind und ihr könnt auf Nachbesserungen warten, dann solltet ihr zu schlagen.

Anthem is a casualization of BioWare's best strengths, but can be explosively fun. Best enjoyed in small doses.

BioWare's cooperative shooter soars with combat but struggles with story.

Anthem's first few hours are enticing, but you quickly realize BioWare's run out of cool toys to show off, and the story doesn't do its part either.

Anthem has energetic combat but it saves too much of what precious little content it has for the endgame, making playing through its mismatched story a tediously repetitive grind.

Anthem has good ideas, but it struggles significantly with the execution. It's a co-op game that works best with no one talking; it buries genuinely interesting character moments and puts its most incomprehensible story bits at the forefront; its combat is exciting until you get to the boss fights and find your wings have been clipped.

It isn't changing the way the genre operates, not by a long shot, and if you've struggled with a few of them before and tossed them in the gutter, you'll probably do the same here. BioWare will need to build quickly on top of its shimmering jet-fueled foundation to hold people's interest, but folks looking for a new neighborhood to move into might want to give Anthem a try -- either now or after fixes and updates.
