   I can't say enough good things about this game. The gameplay itself is very much what I've come to expect from other Mass Effect games.I can't say enough good things about this game. The gameplay itself is very much what I've come to expect from other Mass Effect games. Graphics are good, animation is tolerable (but maybe they'll fix that), combat is fun, dialog is compelling, and story is amazing.
   
   I say the story is amazing because I really feel like it captures the loneliness, fear, anxiety, uncertainty, and wonder of being thrown into another galaxy where we know very little about it. The story feels similar to Stargate Universe (which was actually my favorite Stargate series). Plus the events that unfold when you arrive add a sense of mystery to the overarching story.
   
   I also like that the characters that become a part of your crew are mostly regular people with pretty normal backstories, and that doesn't mean they don't have character depth or development. On the contrary they have a large depth to them if you continue talking to them and you find out more about their personalities. It's refreshing that these characters don't have some kind of "special" backstory that make them exceptional people because that happens in nearly every game (including previous Mass Effect games) and it gets old. Having normal people with good personalities around you is refreshing and it adds to the realism of the story of these people starting a new life in a new place far away from our System.
   
   There are some tech issues in the game, but no show stoppers. Overall I'm very happy, and I'll leave you with this: I was playing several games when this came out: Ghost Recon Wildlands, and NieR: Automata and now Mass Effect Andromeda has pulled me in enough to drop the both of them and finish it first before returning to them. I consider that a win!… Expand

   A solid 6/10 game. Worst Mass Effect yet. But if you're desperate for something "Mass Effect like", this will scratch that itch just a littleA solid 6/10 game. Worst Mass Effect yet. But if you're desperate for something "Mass Effect like", this will scratch that itch just a little bit.
   
   The "Mass Effect" experience that you were hoping for is about 5% of the game, the rest is driving around on planets doing fetch-quests. The story, voice overs, missions and dialogues are absolutely horrendous and boring. I've skipped over a half of it because of how uninteresting and boring it was.… Expand

   Good: gameplay (+many fighting styles, solid difficulty of the enemies, -fluid action ruined by bugs & fps drop;NOMAD can't fire)

This was last mass effect game for me.… Expand

   The game feels like a kids show, characters keep joking and joking and show no interesting conversation at all. Most planet designs are so lame with no imagination, planets are so bland. Story ongoing is terrible, they filled the game with puzzles and boring openworld walking. Mass Effect was amazing with everything. This game is a disappointment, they had budget, they had time, they could do better.… Expand
