The unique traversal method where players are able to fly is a breath of fresh air and I’m sure we’ll be seeing some cool air acrobatics coming from creative players sooner than later. Here’s hoping the full game goes way beyond what I experienced loadout-wise. On the plus side, movements felt efficiently mechanical (yay!) and thankfully there’s enough variety with the weapons and the way you approach combat situations. The gameplay and gun game isn’t bad even if I can’t seem to shake off the notion that the game is mimicking Destiny 2 with an Iron Man mod running on roids. For a game that thrives on strangers to squad up, the in-game chat function is turned off by default which is mind-boggling. I tested the game on the PlayStation 4 and only by relying on the console’s built-in Party option was I able to coordinate properly with my squad mates. In Anthem, you don’t see anyone else in the common area – which makes it hard for players to coordinate with their mates on what to do next. In some ways, it made players feel like they have a sense of purpose, that they have a reason for being in that universe. I hope the fact that players only get two options in conversations was purely due to the limits for the demo.ĭestiny 2 was a vast improvement to its predecessor due to the much-improved storytelling and better development of the characters around the player. The BioWare DNA -of the (Mass Effect) Andromeda strain, sadly- was apparent the moment a dialogue wheel pops up during the conversations with the locals which felt stilted, insignificant to the whole story. But in a game which is supposed to be lore-heavy, I’d appreciate it more if I know who I am fighting against and trying to protect in the process. While I also certainly appreciate a lot more NPCs to interact with within the common area who drop some hints as to what’s happening, there’s this void of togetherness and camaraderie which comes from seeing other Guardians in Destiny 2’s Tower. OK, I’ll bite: this is a looter shooter demo and it’s supposed to excite players enough that they’d want to pick up the title once the full release hits stores. However, I honestly believe this move unearthed more issues than actually solving them. BioWare and Electronic Arts’ decision to plonk players into a decent, Level 10 character in the demo was probably due to their intention to skip the boring, early game portions and throw us right into the thick of the action. Anthem is nowhere original – at least from what we’ve been served during the two limited-time demo sessions of it. I struggled beyond “it’s like Destiny 2 but with flying Iron Man suits”. I was asked midway through my demo play sessions last weekend what I am playing and in true Kenn Leandre fashion, I tried describing Anthem with references to several other titles in the past. Despite all that, Anthem lacks the originality and that “pull” -that X-factor- to entice folks who are already invested in other titles currently in the market. The almost infinite ways to customize your look and approach is something to behold. The Iron Man fan in me totally dug the whole armoured suit approach (i.e: the chicken-legged exosuits called Javelins here). Check out Instagram ( for more details.I’m going straight off the bat here I had a hard time being impressed by Anthem. The Air Jordan 1 Retro High “Volt” releases through an Instagram-based raffle that starts today, January 6th, that ends Thursday, January 7th, at 4:00 PM MST. The silhouette is then rounded off with a translucent orange tag at the tongue, a sail midsole and black outsole pairing, as well as two sets of laces in cream and black. Subtle updates can be seen at the mudguard and bottom eyestays, which feature a single line of stitching, while more unique details come in the form of a stripped-back collar and tongue, which feature an exposed foam (de)construction. Contrasting hits of volt yellow and gold make their way onto the collar flaps and heel respectively, while the aforementioned collar flap comes rimmed in black trim and stamped with Jordan Brand’s ‘Wings’ logo. ![]() Maintaining the classic “Black Toe” colour blocking of past releases, the upper features a soft white leather base, with black leather overlays at the toe, eyestays, and Swoosh’s.
