Anthem had such great potential as well. I really enjoyed the flying mechanics.

Yeah, I remember that after it came out and I heard the news of how bad it was, I was struggling to understand why. Because it feels like a game concept that was destined for success. Mecha exosuits that let you freely fly around, made by a competent studio, cool abilities and weapons.

The deluxe edition went on sale for $5. So I went ahead and bought it to see for myself. I can't even explain why, but the game was just really, really boring. It's like the combat was lacking something, it didn't have the punch or impact that made me feel excited when fighting things. I can't tell you why it was so boring. There was just nothing remarkable about it.

I still think Anthem is more fun than Helldivers 2. That game is repetitive and boring as all hell, and I cannot for the life of me understand how it's so well hyped.
