I very much enjoyed this when it released - I understand it wasn't the revenue generator EA needed, but it was the fun generator I wanted. Had some balance issues for sure, but there hasn't been a game like it and it's a shame it's relegated to live service hell.Parrynoia

Anthem is special! An unique experience flying with those armors. It deserves to live forever under GOG wings and to be played by who couldn't had fun when it was available. It's a shame a game like this put aside as if it was nothing. That's why we need GOG to honor this game!

I started playing very recently after the announcement of the server's closure, and haven't finnished it yet; however, it's sad to know they're gonna kill it because it honestly is a fun game, and apparently prefctly playable alone for the most part. Could very well use an offline campaign mode and let it live without connection to the internet.

Was so hyped for this and then it released... The ball was dropped for sure by folks but damn they sure did nail that flying in the suit and the combat was damn fun. Such a great game and if you can preserve it for some others to find the love I hope you do.

A great RPG looter shooter in a sci-fi setting. I bought my first SSD for this one. the game should have done a "come back" like No Man's Sky did, with it's "Anthem NEXT" update, but it never came, because Bioware isn't an indie studio... EA just wanted the money, the game came out too early, really poorly optimised (or absolutly not optimized), and wasn't profitable enough, fast enough, EA just asked Bioware to stop developping it. But the game is great, it's beautiful, the OST is transcending, the story, axed around the sound, aka "Anthem" is also refreshing. The dynamic event system could have been better, but EA probably forced Bioware to work more on microtransactions than actual gameplay... The teamplay is good, animation are great. This is one of the game that I don't understand "WHY" it stopped.

Id shoot this to top of list for the sole reason of seriously attempting to salvage a project from a major publisher. If Ubisoft can get caught, EA should be as well.

I typically have zero interest in games where you ulitmately have to play with other people to advance(get best gear) but this game was the exception. I've always loved the idea of flying around in a mech suit, even before I knew who Iron Man was. This game was/is great and it would be a shame to see it die permanently.

I absolutely LOVED how this game looked and played. It was nothing like what BioWare ever created before and despite its many, many drawbacks as a looter shooter + RPG-wannabe, I cherished this game and even the regrettably forgettable characters in it. It's--well, was-- fun to load up the game to do some mindless missions since the traversal in the game is phenomenal. There is no other game that has replicated the "Iron Man" flight and traversal mechanics quite like Anthem. It's a shame they're shutting down the game without offering an offline mode, despite having sold it for so cheap on other storefronts to make a quick buck. I'd love to see this game available completely offline on a storefront like GOG since it would also be rid of EA's predatory DRM software.

The new and original world with exceptional flying and combo mechanics. Classes play differently from each other. Still looks impressive. This world needs to be preserved.

I wish there were a bigger community to preserve the game and make it bigger better, maginificent and glorious :) Maybe GOG can somehow snatch an app with dedicated servers.

...

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
