"BioWare doesn't take risks and reuses already known elements and mechanics and the result is a massive game with many hours of fun. Technical issues are obvious, although not so serious to burden five years of development work from a studio that has brought us great moments in the past and will keep doing it in the future. Andromeda exists to be thoroughly explored with that curiosity that fuels the Initiative. It's not perfect, but it's without a doubt enjoyable." ... Read full review

"If you could combine the story and memorable quests of the originals with the combat, visuals and scope of Andromeda, you would have the perfect video game, though I think what's offered here will satisfy most. Despite its issues, Andromeda is welcome return to one of my favorite fictional universes, and I am still not ready to let Mass Effect go. I'm not sure I ever will be." ... Read full review

"Opinions of Mass Effect: Andromeda will differ greatly based on expectations. The game still provides many hours of enjoyment and lots of the good things that fans have come to expect, but those hoping the series uses this opportunity to take another giant leap may find themselves brought back to Earth with a bump. For everything the development team has done right, there is a little misstep that holds it back, particularly when building the overall story. It's still a highly enjoyable game, but not as stellar as many might have hoped." ... Read full review

"While it’s underwhelming in places, there’s a lot to like as you venture into the weirder parts of Andromeda. Frequent technical issues hamper the experience a bit, as does an uninspiring main story. [June 2017, p66]"

"Unfortunately, Mass Effect: Andromeda picked up some unwelcome visitors on its long journey to your gaming machine. Though it has some stellar moments, “Andromeda” tries to cram too many ideas into one package, turning its obsession with the bigness of space into a crutch for uncharacteristically shoddy workmanship." ...

"It's also an utter mess in a technical sense. There are a few enjoyable moments here and there, and over time you can see the skeletal framework of a better game start to emerge, but given the heights Mass Effect has reached in the past, it's hard to believe this is what we've been waiting five years for." ...

-Has good graphics not the best, but if they are good.
- It has a very rich and varied open world
- The fps go Enough fluids at the time of the shooting.
-Has a good plot to match the other mass effect.
- and the point that makes a game more than great, that has made many people believe accounts to simply give a 0 to this game in all its versions.
-has Great difficulty.
And now the negatives:
-The animations are a little more work.
- It was hurriedly released this month, could have been better.

Conclusion: It's a very good game mechanically, if it gives you a bit like the animations then you patch it.… Expand

Not like the original, it's like star trek voyager while mass effect one and two were the next generation. 3 being a sh*tty unneeded add-onNot like the original, it's like star trek voyager while mass effect one and two were the next generation. 3 being a sh*tty unneeded add-on sequel. Games got good graphics, poor character creator but i did manage to make my female character sexy looking. Music and voice acting is terrible and nothing like the 2 original actors and amazing soundtracks. All the aliens pretty much now talk with a clear unconvincing human voice. Dialog and choices are dull and boring. Gameplay and content wise it's the same as the previous titles. You still cannot fly the ship and you scan random planets with a probe. There's a vehicle to drive like the last. Not bad for $13 if you're bored though.… Expand

Long time Bioware rpg fan KTOR 1/2, DA series, Mass Effect 1-3. Sorely disappointed and disillusioned. If you like action heavy multiplayerLong time Bioware rpg fan KTOR 1/2, DA series, Mass Effect 1-3. Sorely disappointed and disillusioned. If you like action heavy multiplayer games then you'll probably enjoy this. If you like story rich "Role Playing Games" with freedom to create your own take on the protagonist and that has depth, engaging, compelling characters etc. then look elsewhere.

Pro's: decent action/combat. Cons: Underwhelming Story, Dull characters, cringe-worthy infantile dialogue. Really for pew, pew multiplayer action fans. Had to laugh when somebody here said it was like Blasto from the original series. Forgot about Blasto, but your not wrong my friend. I should go.… Expand

--Bad Writing they should have stuck to the original writers and have done everything to keep him. The lines where cringe worthy.

--Nothing--Bad Writing they should have stuck to the original writers and have done everything to keep him. The lines where cringe worthy.

--Nothing Memorable about the characters. ME1 and 2 did a better job at introducing several interesting characters. This however has characters that feel as though they trust you the moment you meet them you do not earn their trust.

--This game calls itself an RPG but it feels more like a shooter than an RPG. The skills no longer feel like something you learn as part of being immersed in the world and learning from the experiences of your adventure but rather something that feels like you omni-tool received a patch as a reward for killing enemies so it now has a new function after the update. You can basically look at it as an FPS shooters equivalence to a kill streak.

--Narrative choices in the wheel often only fall to two choices. The logical choice doesnt always sound logical its as though someone with little understanding of the rules of logic designed this. The emotional options give little to emotion. There was nothing inspiring when there was need for inspiration. At least with Dragonage there where moments of Hell Yeah. Like the Sword given to THE INQUISITOR, SKYHOLD, and THE PRAYER SONG after you wake up from defeat. Inquistion did a great job ant creating inspiration emotion grabbing moments. This however did none of that.

--SOUNDTRACK SOUNDTRACK SOUNDTRACK. Sound tracks like a good John Williams Star Wars, Zelda, or ME1,2,3 is important the right musical queues at the right moment can invoke emotion. It seems while the soundtrack was good it wasnt used correctly.

--Quest Design this game made side quests feel boring. The main game is Dragon Age Inquisitions minigames turned into a main quest. You go to each plant in which you have to change the atmosphere by going to each Pagoda/Tower solve a puzzle which lights a beam then go to the next site rinse wash repeat until it points you to the final location then your done. No creativity just the same old trudge. Witcher 3 set a standard each sidequest created its own story and the main quest where incredibly well thought out. Sorry Bioware but you cant get away with mediocrity.

--Character designs where piss poor it feels like every character had some type of skin and bone defect. Hell it feels like the reasons they left the milky way was because they where to ugly to look at so they where banished to the far corners of Andromeda.

--Besides the Writing, Game Design, and everything listed prior the character animations in this game felt like it was created by an intern in their first year of animation school. Sorry but a game that spends much of its time story telling through facial expressions and gestures cannot get away with this garbage.

Overall this is the biggest disappointment of the year so far. Dragon age Inquisition was good but lacking in comparison to the Original Biowares title. This Mass Effect is Bad and with little to none of the original developers, writers, and artists left at Bioware from its glory days this could spell trouble for them. The only real RPG I have left to look forward to it seems will be CD Projekt Red Cyberpower 2077… Expand
