Silence the Heart of Rage. Don’t know what the means? Neither did I — but it’s the first mission you’re tasked with in Anthem . You’ll meet Haluk, Faye and a band of other Freelancers who’ll be joining you on this apparently dangerous task. They’ll speak of Shaper Relics, Cataclysms, and Javelins, all while chanting the motto “Strong Alone, Stronger Together” before climbing into their exosuits and taking off. Anthem wastes no time dropping you into one of the most pivotal moments of its story. It’s jarring and despite having nary a clue of where you are, who you’re with, or why it matters — beautiful cutscenes and solid voice acting give hints of potential. Even if it’s sunk into a plot that barely makes sense. That first mission sets the tone for the rest of the game. While there are glimmers of brilliance in Anthem , they’re often ruined by situations that ask for more emotion ( and at times, energy ) than the game can evoke. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE JOURNEY GRIND After
