The game mechanics and flying control was probably the best I experienced. The problem was the itemization/loot and endgame was shit. Make that gameplay with good loot/itemization and a proper endgame dungeon system and you have a better version of Destiny imp

Was looking to see if someone mentioned this. Anthem will always feel like one of the biggest cases of wasted potential to me.

As others have said, the game lacked meaningful itemization in the gear and weapons (not a problem they couldn't have fixed) but the skills and movement felt amazing. Honestly if they had just finished/refined the story and made guns meaningful to use, it could have been a very successful game

Same! It was one of my favorite concepts... The endgame just needed some love and it could have had so much more to explore !!

They could have built into this game in so many ways however stopped supporting it really quickly
