New draw!
Anthem demo weekend was very fun. It’s not a typical Bioware game at all, but what’s nice to see is that it’s not desperately trying to be one, either. No identity crisis here - as long as the genuinely frustrating connectivity BS gets cleared up, there are glimpses of a solid game with an interesting story, despite lack of context from the vertical slice nature of the build. The world is gorgeous, the gameplay feels incredibly polished, the power play and customization both seem like grounds for good potential. Aerial locomotion really elevates everything, as well.
I’m giving this one a shot, despite hating similar games. At least Anthem isn’t paced all crazy like those, it simply feels like a Bioware shooter on online legs. Or, well, wings.
