I bought the game out of curiosity and found it a masterpiece. Currently 31h played mostly doing the main story and side missions and I think I've still quite a few hours left, and it's all you could ask of a Bioware game, great story, cool missions, very interesting characters, unexpected plot twists, tons of lore, and graphics to die for. It also has some surprisingly good combat, four different lancers/armors with different combat abiities and lots of customization. The game can be soloed 95% of the time by selecting private session, and missions are perfectly doable on your own. I only had to go freeplay aka multiplayer hub world once or twice for a few missions. Multiplayer raid missions are hit and miss, sometimes you get kicked of the mission and lose your progress, they are still pretty cool and all have a decent story and fully voiced dialogues. Cons of the game is a bit of a lack of variety on environments / missions, but still since they are fully voiced and with interesting plots, they are still good.

Now the game works almost perfect in 3D 99% of the time with the existing fix, the only issue is that sometimes the sky has some weird distortion mostly on evening or dawn environments. It's perfectly playable though. On the other hand, the game has some of the most impressive graphics in 3d i've ever seen. I've posted a TON of pics on the discord for anyone who wants to give it a look. In the game you're flying Iron Man style most of time, and in 3D this really shines, since you're getting amazing vistas at high altitude in 3d all the time.

So highly recommended game and even more at that price.

Thank you for your feedback. I have the game, maybe I will give it a try if I find some time (very scarce at the moment).
In the meantime, could you share the link to the discord where you posted pictures from Anthem ?

Thank you in advance !

About weapons, there're 5 or 6 different ones that you can either craft or recieve by completing missions, they're fine for me to get them like that, and they are leveled so you can't keep older weapons for long.

The game also has an interesting combo system, we're there are primers and detonators, like an ice grenade than then you combo with a missile, pretty cool, so there's some depth with which weapons and abilities you use.

I don't like Depth of field and convergence is too long in cutscene (around 1 I think) for me
