The number and types of problems facing Anthem are enough to leave one wondering whether or not BioWare really thought this game through while they were developing it. These are basic problems that have already been solved by many games that came before Anthem, yet here they are anyway. Its loot is boring, which makes for a wholly unsatisfactory grind and makes the presence of the cash shop even more suspect than it would normally be. Their handling of said cash shop just makes everything worse too. Its stock is too limited; its refresh timer is annoying; its items are too bland, and theyre all grossly overpriced given the actual earn rate for coin. Anthem has potential, but itll never realize it if BioWare and EA allow these sorts of fundamental problems to persist much longer.
