Anthem features stunning visuals and satisfying flight combat, but repetitive grinding and forced interactions undermine the experience. The game's strengths in world design and mechanics are offset by tedious mission structures and uneven pacing.

“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.”
