Anthem
I didn’t love Anthem. I didn’t even like it. But no game deserves to be wiped off the face of the earth. That’s what’s happening to BioWare’s ill-fated loot shooter, as publisher EA has announced. After six years, I think I’m gonna boot it up again, for old time’s sake.

I have mostly memory-holed Anthem, but what I do remember had the bones of something that could have been cool if BioWare had been allowed to launch its planned reboot of the game. As an Iron Man simulator, Anthem has some really great flight mechanics. Zipping around in your mech suit felt really good. It was fluid and weighty, giving you a sense of free movement without feeling floaty and awkward. Can I tell you any of the characters’ names? Maybe one if you put a gun to my head. But if the game is about to disappear forever, I might as well give it one final shot. — Kenneth Shepard
And that wraps our picks. Stay safe and happy gaming!
