Fortunately, the game doesn’t look half bad even on lower settings. You’ll get the most out of high-end (and more expensive) hardware. Final ThoughtsĪnthem’s visuals are breathtaking to behold, but at times also demanding. As mentioned earlier, you can run it with a GTX 1070 Ti on Ultra settings, getting 60-75 FPS with slight dips. Seeing my Power Ranger do this for the twelfth time wasn’t as interesting as before. I’ll talk about it more in our official review of the game. It can take you out of the moment, but that’s neither here nor there as this is a technical review. Each time you do so, you’ll have a loading screen of your Javelin “powering up,” followed by another loading screen as you spawn in the activity. Anthem’s story requires you to run back and forth the Tower, I mean, Fort Tarsis, just so you can go on new missions. What’s more telling are the load times before you can start activities. I couldn’t tell if that was due to server issues or because I just randomly joined one even though it wasn’t unlocked at the time. What’s notable, though, is that the game didn’t try to reconnect me to the same instance. That was at the end of a Stronghold activity. However, with the game’s early access for Origin Premier members, I can say that connection is stable (for the most part).Īfter playing for several hours, I’ve only gotten disconnected once. We know that Anthem’s VIP demo was plagued with connection issues. Connectionįinally, we’ve got the all-important factor that determines whether you’ll potentially like a game, or if you’ll be frustrated to no end - connection and server stability. You can also increase the size of the mouse cursor or subtitles.īecause this moment looks horrible with all the player names, icons, and buttons around. Speaking of accessibility features, Anthem has a color-blind filter. Since then, new games have to be CVAA-compliant. Though companies had appealed for extensions, the last one was granted at the end of last year. The 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA) meant that video games should offer text-to-speech capabilities when social features such as in-game text chat are present. One of the FCC’s regulations in previous years dealt with providing ease-of-access for persons with disabilities. The absence of a social feature might discourage newcomers who are used to MMORPGs, but there’s a valid reason for that. Your best bet is to use your mic to chat with random players or hop on a Discord channel to meet new friends. No chat boxes in the game at all and what you’re left with are canned messages. Noticeably absent in Anthem is regular text chat. Well, well, I’m above the recommended specs which means things should go smoothly, right? Let’s find out.Īnthem’s Audio Settings include volume control, speaker presets, and VoIP configuration.

I’ll add more details as we go along with this technical review for the PC version. Like any endeavor that involves technological marvels, Anthem dazzles its way onto your screens be it with these flying contraptions or just the world around you. Anthem features Javelins, high-tech exo-suits designed for maneuverability and combat.
