If a teammate happens to reach a new area, you’ll be prompted to fly to them quickly or you’ll get teleported via loading screen. Often, you’ll need to wait for NPCs on comms to finish their dialogue before the next waypoint appears. Almost all of them involve going from point A to point B, shooting stuff, then going to point C to shoot more stuff. If repetitive combat doesn’t get you down, then the mission structure will.
This lack of air combat challenge and misuse of existing verticality mechanics show a design that wasn’t fully realized. They’re just regular-sized lizards with wings. These aren’t enormous creatures reminiscent of Game of Thrones. Outside of floating wizards, the only flying enemies are fire-breathing wyverns.

Most players I’ve encountered seem to randomly spam attacks.Īnthem may have epic environments, but epic fights are few and far between. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t. Like any game with this mechanic, you don’t actually get combos every time. Elemental abilities include flame, ice, acid, and lightning attacks along with ultimates, and you can do combos on enemies. You can mix and match weaponry and skill sets to complement your play style. Do yourself a favor and play with surround sound on because it’s amazing. The sound of clanking footsteps echoes in your ears and boosting to fly with your Javelin is accompanied by a thunderous sonic boom for good measure.

Many of Anthem’s environments are unique, and some seem like throwbacks to other brilliant franchises. Except, none of it is enough to keep interest going. Also, bumping into pillars means the complete loss of character controls with Freelancers flailing their arms wildly.Īnthem is a visual joy, offering unparalleled verticality and locations that will leave you staring with awe.
