Anthem is a multiplayer-oriented game where teams of players share a common futuristic world while fighting enemies with the use of their armored power suits. ###Premise The players assume the roles of Freelancers, the warriors who use armored exoskeletons.

BioWare tried to chase the live-service dragon and ended up burning their reputation. A beautiful world, yes, but underneath lay a shallow, repetitive grind with a story that went nowhere.

Anthem was supposed to be BioWare's next epic, right? Iron Man suits, cool flying, big action. But it dropped and felt like a shell of a game, totally incomplete with zero endgame content. The grind was real, and not in a fun way. Paying full price for that was a tough pill to swallow for many. It just never found its footing, and now it's basically gone. Big L for the price point, honestly, felt like a bad investment from the jump.
