Abstract: The increasingly popular games-as-a-service model has proven itself to be a winner in the long term in a lot of cases, but we'd struggle to name even one example that was genuinely great at launch. It took Destiny 12 months and three paid expansions to re...
Abstract: Anthem seeks to infuse co-operative shooting with the nuanced storytelling that has made its developer, BioWare, one of the world's most respected – and in doing so, it takes copious notes from Bungie's colourful sci-fi shooter Destiny. It's an intriguing...
Beautiful and mechanically robust throughout, but weighed down by repetitive missions, a flabby structure, and a lot of the people you meet in Fort Tarsis. Even the strongest beats become tiresome if repeated or drowned in white noise, and that's Anthem i...

Flying always feels incredible, The world and its Javelins look amazing
Repetitive missions, No real endgame goal, Not enough of that BioWare magic

Abstract: I've been re-reading my take on Anthem after last month's VIP demo, wondering why I said I only saw “a glimmer” of something that could take me away from Destiny. Because, after playing the first couple of missions of the full game, I'm seeing a lot more...

Javelins are unique and fun to tweak, Solid, enjoyable combat, A fantastic, character-driven tale
Lack of stuff to do once the story's over, A lot of grinding for comparatively little reward, A cluttered and confusing UI and menu system
Anthem is already shaping up to be a stonkingly enormous game, and it'll only evolve with time. The Javelins make playing the game a genuinely thrilling experience, and it really needs to be if it's going to prize people away from the already established...
