Anthem: 4 Big problems with EA and BioWare's latest release

#2 The story

The story in Anthem is not good. There's too much bland exposition and the choices in the dialogue seem to just be there for marketing purposes. They have zero effects on the story.

A couple of the characters, as well as the main villian The Monitor, were sort of memorable but it was a mostly forgettable experience that felt tacked on.

#1 The mission structure and endgame

Anthem

At it's best, the mission structure in Anthem is repetitive and at it's worst, it's an absolute grind. Every mission feels like it's the same thing. You either follow a marker and kill the same enemies or take stuff to a point and protect it or vice versa. Even the endgame is flawed as there are only three strongholds you get to repeatedly grind for your pleasure. One of the strongholds is the same one as we saw in the beta and another is the same as the final story mission. I'll have full impressions on the endgame on a further date.
