Hey guys! Maybe someone here can help me. I am a big fan of Anthem, it's honestly the only game I really play, but they just said it will be shutting down in January when they shut the servers off, which really sucks. Are there any games like Anthem you would recommend? Since games are like $70 now I try to find a game I can really play a lot.
Don't post much nowadays but thought I'd provide my experience with a few games. Moreso from a solo player view but they all have co-op too. And I think they're all cross play so you can invite friends over regardless of platform.
*Destiny was my addiction for a long time. Certainly had my fun with it and definitely got my money's worth. However, got sick of the ever changing goalposts and immediate nerfs whenever things didn't go according to Bungie's plan. In the end, I was done with having that job, lol.
*Crime Boss Rockay City is another FPS that has some rogue-like mechanics, with missions that are somewhat similar to GTA5 Heists. Goal is to build your criminal empire while fighting other crime bosses and avoiding the law, all during a set timeline. Perks you unlock during a run will carry over to a fresh run when you fail. Biggest draw of the game are all the actors they got on board as npc's. Base game is $2, complete version is $9 on steam
*FBC Firebreak is the most recent release (FPS view). It's still in it's teething stage for progression but the devs are listening and adjusting. There's a good gameplay loop there once you've unlocked perks and upgraded equipment so you can tackle the harder missions; difficulty is getting to that point. If you have a PC gamepass sub, you can try it for free
*HellDivers2 (3rd person view) is pretty solid and has a lot to do. I personally find it to be boring as spit. It's better with friends but even then I found it dull. Unpopular opinion, I know. But I want more skill and pace with my gameplay than what this provides. That's still holding in the $30-40 price range
*Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League has some of the best action shooter gameplay I've ever experience. Also another unpopular opinion, as I know the hate train has been chasing this game since the day it was announced. Unfortunately the good stuff is completely hidden behind poor design decisions. Creating your first build gives you a glimpse of what can be achieved in game (think Diablo builds and their destructive power). But yeah, it's gonna be a dull grind until then; dumb design. At least the seasonal DLC and extra characters are all free. Didn't realize how much I miss pausing a game until I played this, lol. Base game is $3.50, deluxe is $5
*Warframe and First Descendent; both are free to play games. Solid gameplay for both but I quickly bounced once I saw how crafting works. I wil not pay to speed up crafting and won't wait real world hours for crafting to complete. Big fat nope from me.
*The Division and Division 2. Both are really good 3rd person shooters. If I don't play them more it's solely because I prefer sci-fi or supernatural worlds vs something that's more close to the real world environment. I don't think they ever added crossplay to either Division game.
