Anthem is a multiplayer third-person shooter in the Action/RPG genre. The game is endowed with a rich open world, but it is not capable of capturing the imagination with its size.
The plot of the game tells us about the cruel world created by the gods. Once the gods were able to harness the great power of the Anthem (a kind of matter and energy in the game), with the help of it they began to create a new world, but they never completed it, leaving us. The anthem was left without a master and there was no one to restrain its power, so rifts began to appear in the world and cataclysms arose from which giant creatures and aggressive monsters appeared. Mankind is trying to survive in this difficult world for life, they have created technologies that help them in this difficult task.
The player is given the opportunity to become part of a group of Freelancer pilots who fly technologically advanced exosuits - Javelins. Each suit gives the pilot opportunities that ordinary people cannot: free flight, fast movement under water, effective and unimaginable combat skills that make them unique.
The gameplay is based on the exploration of the open world by a group of up to four players who go outside the fortress on an expedition. All sorties have a specific goal that you can only accomplish by working together. While exploring the map, your team may stumble upon various ambushes of marauders or crowds of monsters that have appeared from a nearby rift, or take part in large-scale world activities that will be accompanied by action and an epic boss battle. The freelancer's base is Fort Tarsis, where you can interact with NPCs, trade, and upgrade your Javelins and weapons.
Many multiplayer games have their own story, but often players do not pay attention to it because of its tastelessness and simplicity, but in Anthem the storyline is definitely worth going through, its total duration is more than 15 hours. An interesting plot, exciting and rich gameplay will not let you get bored, the game is played in one breath.
