    This game is fantastic. Thank you EA. There are errors in the animations, but this does not take away all the brightness of the game. Play to the end and I guarantee you will be surprised.

    It's a shame for the mass effect series. The game I could never finish, no matter how much I wanted to. As someone who has played the trilogy dozens of times, I couldn't stand this game. The people who developed this game should not be given a job in the game industry again.

    One of the worst games ever made, everything is broken, the animations are nightmare inducing, the voice acting, the characters the scripting. This game belongs on a trash heap.

    Really buggy game, that further rolled back on its game design ideologies, instead of improving upon the first 2 mass effects. I can understand giving the story a side step to the main because of the controversies of ME3 and also they are in the midst of making a true ME4.

    But it was a huge let down, and I just hope they learn from their feedback, so ME4 will be a big success.

    - bugs = all of them

    I absolutely adore the original Mass Effect trilogy. The story, the worldbuilding, the characters… chefs kiss. So you can imagine my excitement over Andromeda. I heard the complaints from the pre-release footage. The game looks like garbage. Nay I said, Mass Effect was never about the graphics. Yo this thing is buggy as hell. Nay I said, they will fix it before launch. The voice acting sounds goofy as hell. Nay, you are just being negative. I was a blind Bioware fan boy who pre ordered this game and 100% it at release. I have never touched it since so I do not care if the stuff I am about to talk about was patched three months later. Save your breath.

    Positive beginning. The fact that you have access to all abilities and can spec into any of them allows for some fun combos. Positives done.

    The combat. Everything in this game is either brainded or suicidal. Zero strategy involved throughout the entire run. Just stupid enemy after stupid enemy. The issue with the one positive, the place it affects is boring and garbage. Oh and that is not the best part. Most of the time if enemies are deployed from their ship onto the field, nothing deploys. When the ship leaves, it leaves a cluster of limbs where it was. If you shoot it, then bodies fall out. Great playtesting Bioware.

    What about the story? What about it? Garbage. So you know how Reapers were an unknown force who used their tech to turn the Milky Way species into their tech drones. Yeah we can't do that again nu uh. Guys the Kett are different. They are an unknown force who uses their organic goop to turn the species of the Andromeda galaxy into their organic drones. Wow, how original Bioware.

    But the characters save it right? This game has four character types: aggravating, boring, cringe and meh ok. I have never cared less for a group of party members in my life. I actively wanted to space bothe Liam and Peebee after their loyalty missions. I don't expect much but at least the original cast was filled with professionals. Both Liam and Peebee put the Pathfinders life into stupid amounts of danger with their dumbass decisions. And Liam has the audacity to open his mouth after you fix his mistake. Just allow me to kick them to the curb like Serra in DA: Inquisition.

    I actually fell for the marketing ploy when it came to dialogue. They proudly flaunted their innovative take on the Mass Effect dialogue wheel. How Paragon/Renegade was restrictive. So they came up with the tone indicators of: Professional, Logical, Emotional and Casual. What I like to call them is: Actual human speak, Sheldon Cooper, Angsty Cringe and OhgodohnoohpleaseididnotwanttopressthatstoptalkingstOPSTOP. Pick professional or suffer the consequences.

    How about those Mass Effect choices. Ok so how about a guy running to get away from you? Do you not press the contextual button to shoot him in the back or do you press it only for you to miss and for him to get away anyway? Do you choose to shoot at a bunch of dudes intimidating you or do you hold off until they shoot and start the fight anyway? No choices like Andromeda choices.

    Planet exploration was made stupider by a large margin. This game is extremely self indulgent and determined to show you its mediocre graphics in their full glory. So whenever you chose to travel planet to planet, you pick the planet you want to go to, then it zooms to the planet where you are, only for it to play a cutscene of your ship traveling to your chosen planet, where it zooms in, before zooming back out and giving you your control back. No way to skip that by the way. And there are systems with six planets and more. Have fun.

    On top of all of this, this game released in such a disgustingly buggy state, that some of the most watched videos on this game, are the glitch compilations. How great.

    In conclusion, I am somebody who loves collecting physical copies of games. Andromeda was so beyond garbage, that I got rid of my copy. Not by returning it, but by throwing that thing in the trash. Nobody deserves the psychological torture that is this game. Do not play it, do not touch it, do not look it in the eyes.    … Expand

    Im at a loss of what to rate this game, at times it can feel like a 7/10 but 80% of the time it feels like a 3/10. This is not mass effect, its a game made by a bunch of people that werent involved in the original series trying to make what they think is mass effect. Im still waiting for the story to do something interesting, and im 20 hours in. It plays it incredibly safe, probably because bioware feels like they are being held at gunpoint over ME3s ending when it comes to taking a risk with the story. But even if they did take risks, the writing is laughably bad, and the characters dont take what is happening seriously at all. This completely breaks any immersion. In past mass effect games i would love talking to squad mates on my ship, in this i actually dread talking to anyone except drack and Jaal, they are the only characters that arent constantly making me cringe with horrible jokes and cheesy one liners.

    The combat is great, but when you fight the same camps of kett over and over it becomes extremely repetitive. since mass effect 3 bioware has liked to create these bad guys that are just endless, you'll be killing thousands of the same dudes over and over with no narrative or reason for it. and your squad mates AI is downright brain dead, in past games they wouldn't use throw, pull or any biotic power on enemies that have shields. In this they dont care, ive had peebee use pull on more shielded enemies than health enemies. And you cant command her to do other wise, so shes basically wasting powers the second combat starts. same applies to other squad mates. Not being able to command squad mate powers is a huge downside to gameplay and its great moments, i have no idea why they didnt include it.

    QUESTS; i have encountered maybe 3 interesting side quests, out of the around 30 i have done. Everything is run to this location, place this item and then do that for 4 more locations. Quest ends. Repeat under slightly different conditions, like instead of placing signal towers, your scanning rocks. These side quests are the definition of repetitive. I just think its funny that bioware thought this was acceptable after games like The witcher 3 proved that side quests can have the same quality as main quests, and be just as interesting.

    Im not going to mention facial animations as much, yes they are terrible some of the worst i have seen from a AAA game in years. but since people have been bashing them to death i thought i wouldn't touch on them anymore. Honestly the game could have been good if it had done other things right, like if the game had an interesting story i could look past the facial animations. Its also to bad that bioware continues their same tired tale of you playing as this God character, i thought the pathfinder would be a down to earth normal dude. Nope. All the characters in this game basically suck your dick, nobody stands up to you and when they do its so laughably and cliche.

    To end things, i would like to note my biggest problem. Andromeda never feels alive. Most worlds are completely empty with just more generic enemies to fight, no towns or settlements (besides the ones you create and fill with NPCs that do nothing). with one new friendly race, the angara things feel even more empty. Look at all the races we had in the original trilogy that were working together on the citadel, youll find none of that here. Plus lore inconsistency galore, why do we have jump jets when the milky way doesnt? how are we able to use FTL travel so much, and so fast when in the trilogy the only reason we could get around the galaxy so fast was because of mass relays? FTL has always existed but it in ME but it was much faster to use a mass relay rather than travel for hours to another system on your ships power.

    Edit 2022: funny i just found this account again, funny to see this here. It took me 2 years to finish this game. It didn't take me that long in a good way, i would either forget about the game for long periods or just couldn't stomach it for longer than an hour. I 100% completed the game and absolutely don't recommend it. Its a grind. This was also the last game i ever pre ordered. Still think this review echo's these statements 5 years later, even when i wrote this with 20 hours of playtime... these issues definately dont change by the end.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Everything about this game is an absolute disgrace to the once legendary name of Mass Effect. This EA abomination has about as much to do with Mass Effect as S&M relates to M&M's. I don't even know where to begin on how awful this game truly is. It is an absolute travesty, an abomination. The characters are paper-thin cutouts who you will never give two **** about ever. All the wonderful and amazing cast from the original trilogy now have to take a backseat to disgustingly glitchy facial animations, broken camera, buggy ass game-play, boring useless sidequests, and childish cringe-level 9000 dialogue. Player choice means jack **** the entire game, there is no weight or gravity to any decisions you make.

    Every design is inferior to the original trilogy. I don't care how good the graphics are, the gameplay is repetitive, buggy, and broken, while the writing will make you lose faith in all humanity forever. Mass Effect once had the greatest, story, characters, and RPG elements of any game. Thanks to Mass Effect Andromeda, the series is now on critical life support, and is fading fast.

    Bioware needs to realize EA is pure evil, give them the finger, run far away from them,and then ressurect Commander Shepard in the TRUE Mass Effect 4 all of us loyal fans deserve over this blatant garbage!!! Avoid at all costs if you, like me, adore the original Mass Effect series, and want a return to form!!!    … Expand

But there are some stand outs even if few and far between. Ultimately the game is lacking in most areas but has potential to be the rough beginning of something good.

    This game shouldn't bear name "Mass Effect". Only thing I care about in Mass Effect is story. Bioware somehow managed to ruin the story even with the budget they had. They should have used the money to hire better screenwriter instead of using it all on ads.    … Expand

    ***PROs***

    + Nice graphics.
    + Exploring is kinda fun especially in new, faster Mako-like vehicle.
    + (Some) nice voice acting (namely all the Ryders, Cora, etc).
    + Nice music (especially main theme).
    + Intriguing mysterious connection to original trilogy story arc.
    + Decent gunfight engine.
    + Autosave tends to do a somewhat decent job (strictly in that it saves regularly).
    + Some surprise treats for fans of the original series.
    + Ability to switch activate powers on the fly.
    + Independent power cooldowns.
    + Full keyboard customization (yeah, I know, it's 2017 and there *are* games out there that reserve certain keys that end up screwing you over).
    + Native controller support (tested with XBOX ONE wireless controller).

    ***CONs***

    - DENUVO! Yuck!
    - Half the people are British accented... It's like Harry f'ing Potter in space.
    - A lot of British English words and phrases (like they wanted to rub it in that they went all British).
    - Dull antagonist factions.
    - Dull non-Milky-way ally faction.
    - Dull filler tasks/missions make up the majority of the game (often needing you to constantly go back and forth across the galaxy).
    - Unskippable cutscenes when landing on planets (normally not an issue but given the back and forth nature of the side missions, it's excruciating).
    - Buggy AF (getting stuck, autosave issues, random dialog spurting, invisible objects/people, mission bugs, etc).
    - No QuickSave/QuickLoad!
    - Can't control squad-mate powers in battle.
    - Can't customize squad-mate loadout.
    - Mission/assignment journal is a disorganized mess.
    - Too many random location tasks which require a ridiculous amount of wandering around to finish.
    - Too few biotic primer powers (several key signature powers from original trilogy are gone).
    - Everything is f'ing "balanced" (serious impedance to leveling up player/weapons/powers/etc).
    - No renegade/paragon (often wanna sound tough but lack of dialog choice makes you sound like a complete wimp). Some dialog choice "labels" are misleading and makes things even worse.
    - I have no problem with gay love interests existing in this game but every other dialog option with certain male characters had the "heart" (romance) icon next to it and this made me feel quite uncomfortable and always suspicious if I'm leading down some homosexual path with some of the characters, especially with some who you meet that are either, um, somewhat "emotional" or just plain give off a gay vibe.
    - Bioware won't be releasing any DLCs or even bug-fixing patches for this game! Completely abandoned.
    - Unsatisfying final boss fight, though the lead up to it is great.
    - My favorite pistol is missing (Arc Pistol)... okay, I understand it's not fair to include this in the list but I needed to get it off my chest!

    I'd give the game a 7/10, possibly higher if they had released good DLCs for it, but those first three points on the cons list really p*** me off, so it gets a 1/10.    … Expand

    This abortion of a game is presumably what you get when a corporation like EA puts people with degrees in "Women's Studies" and "African-American Studies" in charge of game development teams. The game is steeped in political correctness, and it prevents me from achieving the sort of immersion into the game I enjoyed in the first three Mass Effect games.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mass Effect Andromeda had so much potential and they screw it up. The facial animations is crap, the engine they used is crap for this kind of game, the quests feel repetitive and boring. The world design is boring and feels empty of anything actually interesting. I somehow forced myself to finish this game. I did enjoy the game play somewhat... when it doesn't glitch me into something. I especially love it when the characters just start T-Posing. I had hoped that many things would be rectified in patches and in the quarian ark DLC that was hinted at the end of the game (which was scrapped), but no. I would not buy this, as support for single player has ended a long time ago and it is still trash.

    In summary the game is big, some characters are interesting, and I love the combat system. The new species were also interesting. the combat, i love. However, there are too many cons for me to recommend this game.    … Expand

    But i just can't for 2 points : 1) I do not feel anything -_- i barely pass the first 2h of gameplay and it is so flat, i am bored out of my skull! Combats are cool but empty, you do not feel the impact. Story is here but pfff. And    I will not spoil anything even the game get almost 2 years now.

And i do not get anything who push me forward. I remember the fantastic ME3 intro, at the start of ME3 i was in WOOOWWW mode but there, i am just surprisely totally bored.

    2) I can't playing more than 40 minutes or i get a very VERY hard headaches
    I reach 45 years old, i play video games all my life and i NEVER get this.
    The fact you get Zoom, zoom, unzoom, zoom, unzoom each time you are targeting , scanning, changing weapons or fire at something is simply WAY WAY to hard and the FOV change each time you are targeting, changing weapon, or scan and the FOV depend on what weapons you are using ...

    i do not even imagine playing like that in gow or any other tps i will be sick like hell in a middle of any horde or any raid. Then i just look into the internet but BIOWARE do not add any options in 2 years to separate the FOVs or even any options to DO NOT zoom.

    so to be clear:
    you are walking with a very large FOV,
    you take your weapon you are zooming,
    you are aiming more zoom atm you see nothing and you already get 3 zooms.
    You want to scan something unzoom,
    you are not getting any more weapons unzoom again.

    In less than 30 seconds you get 5 to 6 zoom and 3 unzoom Wowww -_0
    and becasue you have no minimap you need to open the map often what gives you more zoom and more animations for noting. sorry but my head can't !!!
    i just get the will to kill myself, puke and get the worst headaches of history playing any video games.

    Imagine something like that happen when you take a pen, drop the pen, write 1 letter with the pen, change the pen, retake another pen ... you will become crazy. so i will not play this game anymore because after 3 monstruous headheach i understand the devs are totaly stupids and do not even bother what are correct HUDs and UIs and want to kill us all by headaches ... i think. (That's a new one)

    i am desapointed, i never quit a game for something like that, i try every solution i can find
    it is very simple there is no options to avoid 200 zoom / unzoom in 1h

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros:
    - huge new galaxy with generally improved graphics;
    - enhanced combat (best of the four games thus far in action)

    Cons:
    - bland protagonist with basically no angle or trait in character (particularly comparing to Shepard);
    - stale facial expressions (subpar even comparing to the very first game--which is 11 years old);
    - too much filler content for quests (like a few fellow reviewers said, DAI in space, which basically takes up 2/3 of the actual playtime, and that's with guide. Without guide...it may take up to 4/5 of the playtime)
    - political correctness all over the place (many decisions are forced with compromises, and quite a number of them don't even make sense)
    - lack of choice (it is understandable that the Pathfinder needs to be diplomatic and this half is written well, but there is basically no counterpart...no choice of showing even the slightest bit of aggression)

    Basically, the combat deserves a score of 85+ as it is entertaining and exciting, although the auto cover system makes the control lacking at times, but it is definitely better than the OT.

    The story, however, deserves no more than 40, and that's being generous.

    For a space opera, conflicts need to be present all over the place, particularly given that the original trilogy has established that the Milky Way Council species have internal conflicts themselves. While it is possible to explain that the selection process of the Initiative eliminates most of that, it is logically highly unlikely for the Initiative to truly devoid them of their individuality, which in ME Andromeda appears all but eliminated. So, the Asari are no longer diplomatic, the Turians are not disciplined, the Salarians not hyperactive and pressing, and the Krogans no longer rough around the edges. That's already failing the OT world view.

    And there's the problem with conflicts. The exiles are established "right out of the gate" with almost minimal background stories to how and why they are expunged. The story provided by the Nexus doesn't cover enough, and there's basically no polarity displayed between the two. Decisions are mostly middle-ground, and they differentiate little even if displayed as polarized. The decisions, while they can be understood to have long term influences, the Initiative is set up over the course of around a year, and some decisions should have effects by the end of the game, such as setting up the outpost for military purposes, or having the exiles ruled by different leaders, yet none of them has any impact whatsoever in game.

    Then there's the problem with the protagonist and his crew. The Ryders are established to be competitive and good-humoured, and not much else is present up to the point when Alec dies. The side of competition, however, is never displayed properly. With competitiveness usually comes with a natural display of discipline and authority, particularly given that the twins are military in background, yet both Ryders displayed a complete lack of assertion when it comes to both. Liam and Peebee falling out of order in both of their loyalty missions, yet they get to stick around due to a lack of choice, and the Ryders are written too accepting to realise that there is a line never to be crossed, and the choice of displaying anger at both companions---just gets Ryder condescended in reverse. Basically, every companion gets to act like a Spectre while the Ryders are less condescending than the Council. There is no accountability in the Pathfinder team and the leader doesn't act like one.

    In general, if you've played the original trilogy, ME Andromeda just feels wrong. There's almost no complexity, no friction, no conflict, no moral dilemma, no consequences.

    There is a possible way to save this game however, which is for ME Andromeda to have a sequel on part with Mass Effect 2, since a lot of the plot holes and personality absences can be filled and explained in its sequel. For instance, building up a background for Jaardan, Angaran, Kett and Remnant, giving more choice over team selection, linking decisions with consequences reflected in MEA 2, et cetera. After all, the background in Andromeda is roughly set, and the world is definitely expandable.

    Basically:
    If you want to hitch a joyride of action, this game is playable and rightly so, and even replayable.
    If you want to see a space opera BioWare delivered with SWKOTOR and Mass Effect 1-3, this game is a bare pass.
    If you want to enjoy an odyssey-style story like Mass Effect 2 exploded (which this game actually sets its main storyline in similar fashion), this game fails pathetically both in the countdown and in the climax.

    It succeeds to deliver in action, but fails pathetically in story, particularly by RPG standards, even more so by BioWare RPG standards.    … Expand

    Some games you want to explore every nook and cranny inch by inch. They encourage you to scan every piece of lore, and to go looking for hidden quests and treasures. This game forces you do to all of this as the core gameplay, none of it is optional. And there's nothing of merit behind it to make it interesting.

They encourage you to scan every piece of lore, and to go looking for hidden quests and treasures. This game forces you do to all of this as the core gameplay, none of it is optional. And there's nothing of merit behind it to make it interesting.

    In order to unlock the story-quest dungeons you have to find glyphs hidden behind the environment. You do this by activating your scanner (which slows your walking speed) and pointing it at every polygon in the area. They outsourced huge chunks of content to different teams, so there's no rhyme or reason to where these glyphs may be hidden. Once you find all of the glyphs in an area, you have to play sudoku with them to advance.

    The scanner is also how you uncover codex entries, this game's version of lore. If you walk very close to an object, it will vibrate your controller (if you're using one) to tell you to scan something nearby. Or you can slowly walk around with the scanner up looking at everything. You must do this to earn research points. You need research points to develop the blueprints for your armor and equipment.

    As you drive around the worlds, a thing will pop up on your screen and tell you that you can mine resources. You must drive back and forth very slowly, watching a little meter, until you can fire off a mining probe. Then you have to do it again until the region is fully exploited. You need to harvest these resources to build your blueprints.

    Every time you want to move around the map between planets, you have to leave and arrive three times, each one a different version of an unskippable cut scene.

    Say you're on Base X, and you have a quest to run and talk to someone on Planet Yawn. You dutifully walk to your ship. It asks if you want to leave, you say yes. You watch an unskippable cut scene of your ship leaving, that takes about 30 seconds. Then you see Base X in the close up view on the galaxy map.

    You back out of that to the system view. It shows you an unskippable cutscene of your view zooming out. Not like "woosh you're zoomed out now". Like "wooshsweermubububub", ten seconds of movement. Then you zoom out again (several more seconds of wooshing views) to the sector map and pick a new area.

    Then when you click the "let's gooo already" button, it zooms all the way back into the close-up view of the planet your at and shows a wooshing first person cinematic of zooming out all over again. Next is about ten seconds of seizure inducing "warp" travel (or whatever they call it, I couldn't be bothered with reading any of the lore) before you arrive at the next system.

    Then more wooshing and zooming when you arrive, before you get the new system view. Click and woosh zoom again and you can finally select the planet you want to go to. Then it takes you back to the maxed out system view and wooshes you back into the planet view.

    Except it doesn't just go to the planet. It zooms waaay into the planet, to mimic the image from the opening splash screen. Then zooms back out a little bit. Then you have to scan around the planet to find a landing spot, then you watch a cutscene of your ship flying down to the planet.

    Moving from one planet to another takes about three minutes, with maybe ten seconds of button pressing. Almost all of it waiting and watching these three separate attempts at leaving and arriving.

    Every. Single. Time.

    And there are a lot of quests that are just "Hey, you. Run and talk to this person and come back here real quick." And honestly, those are better than the actual quests.

    So many quests have no icons on the map. Find all of this certain type of thing, find these random hickeys at static camps, locate all of the computers, the usual filler that dozens of games manage to make somewhat interesting this game makes boring and vaguely irritating. Like a relative who won't take your hints about how little you want to hear their story.

    None of the boxes you can open are visible on the map until you buy an upgrade to your character later in the game. (And even then, only a few special chests show up.) And the worst part is that the containers can be any object in the game. That rock you didn't bother to walk up to and inspect? That was your boss reward treasure. That box-looking thing that had loot in it the last time you saw it? Not a box this time, it's in the potted plant.

    And the whole time your party members are telling you how awesome the whole experience is. Shouting encouragement to remind you that yes, this is the game and you are enjoying it. A classic case of tell, don't show.

    Because, some games are hard to like. You have to struggle past the flaws to the hidden qualities beneath that. This game doesn't like the people who play it. It's not even worthy of hating, because that would require a level of engagement and an emotional response that it's simply too tedious and bland to generate.    … Expand

    Their bodies and faces are a mess, like we went back 10 years maybe even further.
    I went up to a guy on the Nexus and it was like playstation 2 level of quality! WTF

    The planets all feel the same, only difference is sand becomes snow becomes grass.
    Buildings and Kett sites are just reused over and over.
    Mining with the nomad is painful and annoying.

    The space travel was nice for a minute then became a chore.
    The whole pick a planet then you travel towards it, skip the long boring travel part, zoom in and then zoom out and repeat.

    The MAP! oh ma gawd the map. The map sucks on so many levels where to even begin.
    Whoever designed it needs fired into a black hole.
    It's the worst map design I have ever seen in any game ever with zero exaggeration.
    The icon symbols all look alike, the blue layout is horrible to look at, you go into some caves or buildings and there is no map at all.
    Also press 'M' for map then you have to press 'escape' twice to get out of it, who thought that was a good idea?
    Can't use M again to exit the map and return to where I was, no that would be too easy.
    The compass sucks btw, it's confusing as hell so you click the map more than you would if you had a minimap which ends up with you needing to press 'escape' constantly.

    Companions are boring, besides Drack and Peebee who I liked, the rest bored me to death.

    The inventory sucks, really hate the scroll wheel when trying to see what I've researched or picked up and when trying to compare items is just annoying. I want bring items up with both stats together. Plus when shopping I can't see if the weapon I'm buying is better than the one I have equipped.
    And why the hell can I pick up a weapon but can't equip it until I go to a load out screen?
    What a load of crap.

    The looting is terrible too, what's the problem with leaving corpses on the ground after combat? Trying to see those tiny circle loot displays when you killed the thing from a distance is rubbish.
    At least if he was still lying there afterwards I could see him and go check for loot.
    Also looting just becomes a habit more than a necessity, I can't recall a single time I looted an item and thought 'cool, need this'.

    The little nodes for minerals, who worked on that? Probably the map person.
    You scan the node and does the node disappear or change? No it stays the exact same way before you arrive so when you return in future and see it you think 'did I get that one?' and yes you did and the next one and the next one and so on. Major annoyance.

    The mission/quests lay out is bad too, you revisit planets over and over.
    I handed in a quest on the Nexus then reboarded the Tempest and immediately got a email to return to the Nexus! F******************CK!
    This happened multiple times,leave a planet, talk to someone on the Tempest reland on exact same planet.

    I could go on and on, conversions are weird at times, badly written too.
    Oh before I forget, why is the main character given any dialogue choices since all of them tend to answer the same way.
    There is no paragon/renegade system, I can't make my toon be super nice or a total **** so why even bother with the options.
    There is loads of times where the options pop up to answer someone and you have two answers to pick from and both mean the exact same thing!
    Whats the point?
    The good stuff, combat is fun ermmm sometimes the visuals of planets are nice but that's about it. I got this game for £9 on deal, I'm so glad I didn't pay full price or I'd be super pissed.    … Expand

A complete mess of a game that clearly started out with one vision and then ended up being assaulted by competing visions as the project neared completion. Also, the number of homosexual characters is absurd: basically it's possible for almost any of the main characters to become involved in a sexual relationship, regardless of sex. There are only a couple consistently heterosexual main characters. This makes no sense as most estimates put practicing homosexuals at around 1% of the population. It would be like if a game that had a normal distribution of diverse characters suddenly made half of the people in the next game Lebanese Christians - crazy, jarring and really takes you out of the experience. While we're on the subject, the animation is terrible and the female characters have been what I can only describe as "reversed airbrushed" in order to be less attractive than the real life models on whom they are based. Like I said, this game is bonkers. You get the feeling playing this game that somewhere along the way, a good game with a lot of potential was hijacked by a political message and then beating the gamer over the head with that message became more important than the game itself.

    I have been a big fan of the Mass Effect series, ever since the first game. Of course, ME1 was not perfect. But the only thing I can honestly critique about it is the controls. ME2 was, in my opinion, perfection. One of the greatest games I have ever played and most definitely my favorite game of all times. ME3 was still very good, even though the "choices" they gave for the ending were, in my opinion, a lazy and rushed sort of decision to save money and time.
    But, oh boy, don't get me started on Andromeda...
    The first and foremost thing that really put a hamper on my excitement when I first started the game (which I bought despite it being a laughing stock in social media because of several bugs, the female models being disfigured on purpose after they were finished, the horrible facial expressions, etc.) was the fact that you could still not play other races in single-player. Not a huge problem and they never promised something like that, but it has been a wish of many players in the community and it was possible for DA, so why not ME?
    The next thing that bothered me was that the thing that made the ME series so great, so unique compared to most other RPGs, was removed. Morality. Where in ME 1-3 every answer had the potential to influence NPCs reactions to you and you had special dialogues being unlocked depending on your play-style, in Andromeda, you don't have either. But as if that wasn't enough, you also don't have dialogue choices anymore. The game still gives you 4 choices but they are all the same, just said in a different way.
    Since I already tore into the dialogues a bit, they sound like a robot wrote them. They are stiff, boring and often just cliché as hell. Lackluster, maybe inexperienced voice actors round the whole thing into a boring, annoying, unmemorable and in my case, mostly skipped experience.
    The story line left much to be desired as well and it feels like almost all the money was spent on the visuals, leaving everything else in a more or less improvised state. The one point I give is really just for the big open world and beautiful graphics, which do little to nothing to redeem the game or make it worth the money I spent on it.
    In my opinion, it was a big middle finger in the face of every fan of the series. And for everyone that played Andromeda as the first (and probably only) game of the series it must seem like a bland sci-fi rpg with a big open world that is way to big for its content.    … Expand

    That they tried to put SJW propaganda in it becomes very evident when you go into a museum of some sorts where all the species from the Milky Way introduce themselves through VIs. We all know that all the other species have different colors, skin patterns, or even horns, etc. And they dont talk about it in their VIs. But humans do. They proudly say that there are many colors and religions and that they all worked together and overcame their differences. I have never seen a more pathetic and disgusting virtue signalling in a game before.

    Add to that the childish dialogue, often completely irrelevant, which sometimes left me standing there with an open mouth and 3 question marks over my head, bland characters (which often are actually annoying) and the mandatory character with a Scottish accent, bad quality assurance (lots of ridiculous bugs, even with the newest version), bad graphics that stutter a lot and seem to come from the first 2 ME parts, planets that seem to come straight from some MMO RPG (one planet reminded me very much of a zone in Guild Wars 2 for example), bad console controls that are extremely frustrating, a boring character and weapon/armor/equipment advancement system, boring and super easy encounters with enemies (incl. very weak AI), a story that doesnt seem to know what it wants or where to go and MMO-like side quests and you have this disgrace of a game.

    Dont get me wrong, I still played through it, but I often was extremely annoyed by it, so that I often asked myself why I even play this game, for example having to read and listen to all these stupid conversations and dialogue (which is a huge part of the game). Its worth it for $10 to $15. But not a dime more.

    Please, BioWare, dont destroy this IP by continuing like this in the next part. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE replace the development team, especially those who did the story, the characters, the dialogue, the SJW propaganda with people who know what makes good games and the gameplay design. People like those can work at Buzzfeed or CNN and write their propaganda there, but that has no place in a game. Not even Star Trek (except the new series) ever was that audacious with their morality, and I loved Star Trek because of its morality. But it was normal. Nobody ever talked about skin color, because it was normal to have aliens and colored humans around. NOBODY CARED ABOUT THAT! Why do you care all of the sudden???    … Expand

I am a slow learner because the Mass Effect series is near and dear to me, but the latest installment is an utter disappointment and I believe a true testament to where we stand in the video game industry. There are only a handful of games that I've purchased that I truly regret spending my money on because I tend to do my research and form a usually informative decision but in this case I am painstakingly upset. I feel Andromeda was a complete waste of money and I really don't want to state this but releasing games of this quality actually encourages pirating and I think EA should be ultimately ashamed. Just about every aspect of ME:A is a complete downgrade and a move in the opposite direction. The combat, dialogue, story, characters, and overall RPG elements are lacking tremendously and it shows in every category. The story and questing get boring so fast and almost the entire galaxy feels empty and pointless. We all know how bad the facial animations are even after corrections, but how sad is the directionless plot and meaningless quests? The core game ends rather fast and you are left with about 5 empty planets that are left 90% unexplored because they are left out of this core game. On top of all this is the dreadful galaxy map and travel system that even after a tab skip was implemented the entire system is tedious and a real bore. The final icing on the cake is the less than mediocre multiplayer and in the end you are left with a steaming pile of crap. I think it is also important and humorous to mention that I have a very good rig with an overclocked GTX 1080 and the game with all current updates runs horribly, constantly lagging and stuttering in 4K, which does not occur with any other PC title I run. It is hard to say these things and this is tough love because I have old attachments to the Mass Effect series and Bioware, but the direction their moving in and EA in general feels very easy to criticize. If things continue in this direction I will be forced as a gamer to completely severe my support of EA and never purchase a title again that has their name anywhere near it.… Expand

    The standard on release was simply unacceptable for the price. I don't know what happened to the facial animation but I have seen better facial animations made by high school students or hobbists who do it for free.

    And plenty of bugs, there's too many. Only fix was a refund. If you are reading this and you haven't played Andromeda, then just don't.

    Такое выпустить в 2017 году, это позор. Ладно бы разработчик неопытный и криворукий, так нет же, студия с мировым именем! Видимо издатель вынудил выпустить игру раньше положенного срока, хотя разработка велась 5 лет. Жаль, что игровая деятельность определенных студий только деградирует.Такое выпустить в 2017 году, это позор. Ладно бы разработчик неопытный и криворукий, так нет же, студия с мировым именем!

    Terrible buggy game even after the final patch. Maybe if they spent less time being racist sjw liberals and more time as game developers it would have been functional. It just shows how inept sjw's are. They were handed a beloved seriries that should have been an easy hit and ruined it

    Больше всего выбесила система диалогов. Лучше бы её вообще не было - ничего бы не изменилось.

Лучше бы её вообще не было - ничего бы не изменилось. Вас что-то спрашивают, хотят узнать ваше мнение, и у вас всего два варианта ответа и оба чаще всего практически одинаковые по смыслу! Но это ещё пол беды. Следующее: совершенно непонятно, что персонаж скажет, когда ты нажмешь на вариант с ответом. Там написано законченное предложение, ты жмешь на него, а гг говорит вообще что-то другое. ЗАЧЕМ?! Как-то раз один мой сопартиец спросил, что ему делать в одной жизненной ситуации, мне хотелось ему ответить что-то типа "не делай этого!". Фраза на колесе примерно это и значила, но гг ответил с сарказмом и получилось, что наоборот, сказал, делать это. Что за идиотизм, Господь! И такого там через каждый диалог всю игру!
    А ещё эти тупые романы. Если вы играете гг девушкой, и любите традиционные отношения, то выкусите. У вас только скучный негр и кальмар!!! А ещё есть как бы какой-то чел со стороны, но с ним вам даже сцен нормальных не покажут.
    А ещё, относительно всего вообще: такое ощущение, что игру в какой-то момент кастрировали и вырезали часть контента.
    Сценарист, будь ты проклят, отвратительный сюжет и диалоги. Всю игру испортил. С хорошим сюжетом и персами, мы бы потерпели анимацию, уж поверьте.    … Expand

    SO...let's just say that I hate Reddit and most of the Internet for nearly programming me to hate this amazing game. They had me regretting my digital pre-order and hating BioWare for no good reason, so Andromeda went into the backlog. Now that I am a good 25% into the game, and most of the crap stuff has been patched, I'm just not seeing what's wrong with this game.

Now that I am a good 25% into the game, and most of the crap stuff has been patched, I'm just not seeing what's wrong with this game. I feel like any issue people were having with facial animations were for a few characters on the Nexus who, quite frankly, I rarely ever re-visit anymore. And let's be real, Humans were never interesting in ME games anyway so WHO CARES? The other races look magnificent! And this is HANDS DOWN the best gameplay of any ME game, plus we are building a new life in the freaking Andromeda galaxy. I love Andromeda so much, man. And I will never allow the control system sway my opinion ever again...… Expand

    本來想說原PO還算中肯，後來東扯西扯的看得頭昏了/_>
    但也忍不住想問一下－－雖然這次所謂新星體環境的確是沒什麼驚喜，但到底B社之前有做過什麼驚天地泣鬼神的作品可以讓一些玩家對MEA有那麼大的期望？創造一個新星系還要從生態圈進化論做起……？
    如果真的有一個遊戲可以做到這個地步我還真的想玩玩看啦。 另外雖然不是原PO重點，但我想說外星人外表人模人樣主要是要考慮受眾吧。等等要是弄出異型又要被罵人設不討好了。其實遊戲裡Angara就有吐槽說為什麼你們人類從Milky Way過來也跟他們一樣兩腳走路XDDD    本來想說原PO還算中肯，後來東扯西扯的看得頭昏了/_>

    Ich hab' ebenfalls alle 3 Teile mit sämtlichen Dlc's und spiele sie immer noch. Die Faszination liegt in den Möglichkeiten die man hat, um seinen Charakter aufzubauen. Gut oder böse? Frontkämpfer oder Taktiker? usw., usw. Für mich neben der Dragon Age Serie die beste Trilogie, seit es PC - Games gibt. Was mich jedoch am meisten fasziniert, ist die Verknüpfung aller Teile.

    Postcard-pretty landscapes is pretty much all that there is good about Andromeda. They serve as backdrops for a boring, cliche-ridden, somewhat demented story with forgettable characters and even more forgettable missions.

    Enough of the classic Mass Effect, with enough new mechanics to keep the game fresh. [Hollingworth; Issue#261, p.55]

    An earnest attempt has been made to create a new identity for a series here, but the question of how to best frame Mass Effect's narrative strengths is, once again, left open. [June 2017, p.90]
