Overall Fort Tarsis feels like a tacked-on options screen that does nothing to make me feel more immersed in the world of Anthem. They just seem to be there to offer the illusion of dialogue choice, even pressing on them requires you to hold the button like you canвЂ™t be trusted with the power of choice.

There are other issues as well, like how all conversations will offer you dialogue choices but these do not offer any change in outcome. I will say that there are one or two character stories that are well worth following but these are in the minority. It is the quality of the writing and how pointless it feels to engage with almost every person you meet. The problem is not that there is so much dialogue, I must have spent hundreds of hours chatting with side characters in games like the Witcher 3. This is just such a boring chore and makes me dread heading home after a mission. The worst part is that as soon as you have done a circuit (at the speed of a geriatric turnip) and are heading back to your Javelin, another few will just appear exactly where you just came from. The rub here is that the map is usually covered in conversation bubbles and while you donвЂ™t want to miss them (they also generate faction loyalty) most are inane dribble. As annoying as Owen is, the way he moves around and talks is fantastic.ДЄs you complete missions you will return to the fort to configure your suit but also pick up new missions. This is odd because some of the other NPCвЂ™s you chat to have great animations and lip syncing. It is also these NPCs that have some very poor facial animations and I had some brief flashbacks of the horrors of Mass Effect Andromeda. The main issue with Fort Tarsis is that the whole place to feels like an elaborate film set and as you walked in everyone jumped to their places. There are a few people walking back and forth and they will move to one side as you approach them, which is a nice touch. As you walk around the town there are NPCвЂ™s stood around in various situations but most of them just look static and awkward, always having the same silent conversion or welding the same piece of metal. The first problem with Fort Tarsis is that it doesnвЂ™t look as busy or impressive as the reveal trailer showed, but more on that later. Weirdly there is also a news section that actually tabs you out of the game and opens your internet browser, for various nuggets of information about the game.

As you venture further into the backstreets and subterranean tunnels you can check on things like your achievements, your standing with various groups or chat to the locals. There are also two (why?) shops giving you access to the vanity store, even though you can access this anytime from the menu. The launch area is where you Javelin awaits you for the next mission and it is here you can also access the forge to set up your suits. This is a single player hub (unless you count the loading bay) that consists of a few main streets of the city and the various places that are attached to it. This isnвЂ™t the most in-depth character creation we've ever seen but you rarely see your face again other than a fleeting glimpse in cut-scenes.ДЄnthem is split into two main sections, the game world in which you fight your way to your objectives and Fort Tarsis. Character creation basically consists of picking a gender and then a premade head of your liking. This event serves as a tutorial of sorts which leads to the game starting proper two years later. Things go south and most of the team end up brown bread. The game opens with your character heading into one of these Shaper Artefacts known as the Heart of Rage. Many of these majestic and powerful вЂShaperвЂ™ tools have been left lying around for the inhabitants of Bastion to dabble with, mostly with negative outcomes. As one character describes it, the Anthem is like a powerful river and the shaper tools are like damns that harness its world-changing energy. The world you play in is a fictional planet known as Bastion, which has been fashioned by the gods but left unfinished. Anthem is a looter shooter in which you take control of a Freelancer, a pilot trained to fly advanced suits named Javelins. In 2017 the game was revealed at E3 with a stage demo and gameplay reveal. Bioware officially started work on Anthem in 2012, just after the release of Mass Effect 3.
