Anthem vs Far Cry 4
Anthem
Anthem is an upcoming, team-based (up to 4 players) action-RPG where you play as a futuristic pioneer called Freelancers, the courageous few who dared to venture out into a gorgeous open world to explore uncharted areas and take on any danger, be it dangerous alien beasts or merciless marauders, they encounter stoically. Wearing the multi-functional and incredibly useful Javelin exosuit, you'll not only get access to the suit's many weapons and abilities, you can even fly, leap, and climb. The world is very dynamic as well, featuring world-changing phenomena like Shaper Storms or other decision-driven world events that spice up the gameplay by a fair bit. There are tons of hidden secrets for you to discover as well.Anthem is slated to be released during fall of 2018. The game will be available on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Far Cry 4
Far Cry 4 casts you into the role of Ajay Ghale, a person who travelled to the remote mountainous region of Kyrat to fulfill his mother's dying wish only to find himself trapped in a civil war between the rebels and the dictator that ruled the region with an iron fist, Pagan Min. Featuring the same epic open world and the freedom to literally do whatever you like, Far Cry 4 has a whole lot more deadly beings aside from humans with guns; the place is teeming with a wide variety of dangerous wildlife that will put your hunting skills to the test. The game also provides you with a whole new set of weapons and vehicles, including the ability to ride an elephant into battle. Far Cry 4 even has a co-op aspect where you can grab a friend to explore the beautiful region and kill Pagan's people along with you.However, the game only has an automatic save (and no checkpoint saves) that severely limits the supposedly sandbox aspect of the game and well, the game has unskippable cutscenes, which frankly can get rather annoying in your second playthrough. Despite its downsides though, Far Cry 4 feels a lot more realistic than most open world games mainly because of the abundant of wildlife that is supposed to be present in a remote region like Kyrat. If you've enjoyed most of the Far Cry games so far, you'll definitely love this one.
