Personally, "Anthem" reminds me more of "Monster Hunter," only with flying, guns, and more plot.
Wuuuuut?
MH is all about taking down these unique, big ass monsters using a variety of tools/weapons...they have their own AI, resistances, extensive movesets, etc, etc. There is huge depth and variety there, and it's very satisfying when you succeed.. making the "grind" feel worthwhile.
Anthem has...Ash Titans ( big and smaller versions), gorilla boss, Giant spider, and nothing else really. Look generic, play exactly the same, very simple to fight, have lame/cheap attacks to only prolong it ( summon swarms, fire wave, etc): fly + shoot, spam powers, rinse repeat...it's completely braindead/tedious.
The only similarity I can see is vibrant environments. Anything else... Yeah. We hunted an Anjanath for the first time evar with a friend today, that was quite a thing. Nothing I've seen about Anthem suggests anything even remotely similar.
