Anthem is a goddamn masterpiece, and I will die on this hill. The graphics, the combat, and the traversal were all AAA quality. There just wasn’t enough fodder for the internet hate machine that month, so Anthem got tossed into it for some reason.
I played the beta. I was tired of it before I finished, and I really wanted to like it. It looked great, and the traversal was a cool idea. It was just boring. There was almost no reason to do anything. It’s the same reason I hate the open worlds of Warframe. It’s cool that they did it, but it doesn’t actually benefit the gameplay loop. It just makes it take extra time to do the thing you want to do.

Have my upvote good sir/ma’am
I certainly wouldn’t call it a masterpiece, but It was fun as hell and I was really bummed when their overhaul bid was shot down by EA.
