    Game is simply great, I had a blast. Amazing combat, good graphics and level design. Voice acting is not that bad at all.

    Game is big and lots to do. I loved the fact that the game is not only about "saving the world", it was more of a multi-storyline game you will meet new people and species to learn about and to help with their conflicts and problems. and I loved the idea. Hours of crafting and exploring new worlds.

    The big glitches were fixed by the first patch and the game was totally playable after that. I loved it more than ME3 and I am happy this has nothing to do with the Shepard series.

    Whats disturbing is the cut scenes when traveling between galaxies and planets. I hate the fact that you can't skip it. They said that they are going to make them skippable with a future patch.

    Pick the game at a discount totally worth it and play as a male character its a lot better than the female! it has much better voice actor.

    Downside is that there is a bit little action in the game and more of talking to people and exploring. Since the biggest thing in this game that makes it shine is its combat and therefore there should have been much more action in the game. Maybe I need even more exploration to find battles.    … Expand

This game, while not perfect and flawed in many ways, is still a Mass Effect game at heart and a damn good one at that. Currently I have not finished the game and am nowhere close and that is because I have already become so immersed in the world of Andromeda that I have literally done almost every single side quest i have run across. This game meets every single criteria you would expect from a Mass Effect game, great characters, compelling story and political turmoil, challenging decisions and in addition to that an amazing combat system. While the game does have its flaws and could have used some polish the animations are way overblown. Yes, sometimes they might be super distracting but I find that very rare. the one other thing I want to point out is that if you enjoyed Renegade in the original trilogy you, unfortunately, will be very disappointed. Your character while still molded around how you want to be cannot be the a**hole you made Shepard. Besides that i think Andromeda succeed as not only a being a good video game but a good Mass Effect game and if you are a fan of the series I highly recommend picking up a copy. Also for those of you saying the quests are boring, yes the actual side content might be boring, it is masked behind a compelling backstory, each and everyone, that makes each worth while and for those of you saying the writing is bad it is in noway worse than the original trilogy. My one other gripe with it is some iffy voice acting but considering there are over 1200 voiced characters, a few being iffy is okay and does not warrant a 4.2 score... not even close.… Expand

    Standard Mass Effect game, with a heavy focus on the squad and camaraderie. Overall, very solid and relaxing.

    Pros: Combat is a huge step up from ME3, which was already pretty good compared to ME1 and 2. Worlds are great, and navigating them is usually pretty fun.

    This game feels a lot more like a space odyssey and is a lot more immersive than the original trilogy.
    Side quests are better than the original trilogy's.
    Multiplayer is pretty solid and fun.
    Great VA work from your crew.
    Enemy design is diverse.

    Cons:
    Bugs. Excusable given the scale of the project.
    Some of the characters are pretty ugly. Good thing helmets exist.
    I strongly dislike Kumail Nanjiani's VA. He doesn't make a good Salarian.
    Nomad looks cooler than it performs. Who knew the big car can't go up hill at >20kph.
    Side quests can be kinda boring compared to ME3 loyalty missions or Witcher 3 (go here, kill that, come back).
    They brought elevator rides back...
    Multiplayer difficult jumps very steeply. We've gone from crushing in Bronze to getting crushed in Silver.    … Expand

    I don't understand the hate here. I think this game is solid. It's fun, choices seem meaningful. and the story is good. Aside from a few visual issues, the game is great. If it didn't have the ME tag on it then it would better received. A lot of this hate is unnecessary, this is definitely a 6 at the least.

This game rides the coattails of quite possibly the most popular sci-fi game franchise of all time. In so doing, it starts us off from the very beginning of a story that has basically no connection to the story most of us love - just as Mass Effect did some 10 years ago'ish when the series first started. Not to say that is the only reason this game isn't as good, but that connection is a large component in its underachieving.

    After playing about 70 hours of SP on insanity, I can say that the game is actually pretty damn fun. The combat is so much better than the other MEs. There are some unfortunate bugs, and that sucks, but there are some awesome fighting techniques. People seem to be b*tching about the animations, haven't seen anything out of the ordinary for ME. Loving the story as it has finally started to get going and my Ryder is a f*cking wrecking ball now.

    + Combat is awesome (takes a while to level up and truly take advantage of the combat system)
    + Graphics
    +- Galaxy Map Upgrade (This can get a bit annoying after it loses its luster)
    + Story
    + Open world
    + Tons to do

    - There are bugs (Frostbite I'm looking at you)
    - Ancillary characters are odd looking (and you keep seeing them over, over and over again)
    - Scanning can get a bit tedious
    - Can't skip certain cutscenes meant to hide loading (SSD, enjoy the wait)
    - Characters say the same comments and often comment on things out of order. Blame this on poor programming/scripting. (This happens A LOT. Quite disappointing they couldn't catch these in QA)
    - There are some bugs that completely break Missions
    - BW should have sprung on a video tutorial series for all the new stuff. AVP, R&D and all the other stuff they added. The game has a ton of depth, but I got very little introduction into the mechanics and was thrown into it.

    0 or 1 ratings, what the f___? I wish that Origin would suck it up and put a rating system like Steam so only people who own the game could rate it. Because Metacritic is shi*. Would help avoid these toxic, copy and paste posts on here. This is the exact reason Steam dropped Metacritic from their service. *He says as he posts on Metacritic. Blow me.    … Expand

    This game, while it has its flaws at launch (animation), is amazing. Honestly, following in ME1-3's shoes is an overly difficult task, but Bioware succeeded in delivering a f***ing beautiful game with a great story line and a semi-open world environment in which you can do things that you only could have dreamed of in ME1-3.

    Starts slow, then gets progressively better. Even the secondary quests.

    Exploration is good, combat is way better though, lots of choices in how to spec your character.

    Worlds are awesome but I must say, the bits showed in the trial are not the best representation of them (you are VERY limited there, so if that's your worry I can tell you the trial doesn't do it justice).
    For some reason most of the problems with animations and facial expressions are condensed in the first 10-15 hrs of the game, then they become a rarity.

    Graphic is top notch.

    Can't fully judge the story yet, but 34 hours in I would give it a 7.5.

    Multiplayer is good fun, spent a ton of time on the mass effect 3 multi and this is very similar so I imagine I'll play this a lot too.    … Expand

The story is alright, so are the characters. Many people complain that the females look ugly, in my opinion they look alright. If you only care about looks you should stick to playing barby instead.

    Ah well.

    I'm a little over 22 hours in and I am having a blast. I have no idea what people are talking about. The facial expressions (especially the eyes) are a little wonky, certainly, but the story / gameplay is super fun. It DOES take a bit of time to get to the main gist of the game, how all the components work, etc... (there is a LOT in this game, something we can all agree on). It's a big game...

    Outside of some odd facial expressions and body movements during dialogue (eye roll), this game is flipping BEAUTIFUL. One of the best looking games I've ever played (saying a lot). Just amazingly gorgeous. The voice acting is superb, even if some of the writing sounded like it came from a 12 year old. While some here are talking about that, I've only noticed one or two things that made me stop and say "gah, they could have written something less cringeworthy there." To suggest ALL of the writing is bad would be dishonest beyond belief.

    I think most of the criticisms here stem from this game not being the most perfectest Witcher 3 killer bestgameever right at launch, and only because expectations were so high for a beloved series. But I'm telling you... this game is massive, fun, gorgeous and is most definitely a very good game.    … Expand

    Feels like a mix between Inquisition and Mass Effect 1. Some parts of this game aren't as fleshed as they should or could have been. Examples such as the story being of a smaller or lesser scale than the original Mass Effect trilogy could be warranted. But I would argue that we need to view this as a new game.

Some parts of this game aren't as fleshed as they should or could have been. Examples such as the story being of a smaller or lesser scale than the original Mass Effect trilogy could be warranted. But I would argue that we need to view this as a new game. Aside from the physics and the races nothing is left of the of the original galaxy. No Shepard, no Normandy crew, no Reapers or Geth etc etc. This is important to consider. Aside from Sovereigns monologues and the warnings we had not much in terms of opposition. Saren was not that scary or good in my opinion. The Archon is a piece of work and fighting him at several turns is good and you feel accomplished when you escape
    The characters are as always partly hit and miss. Some people hated Kaiden while they liked Ashley and vice versa. Most people hated Taylor and yes, he was the most boring character. We have one of those here too though his loyalty mission was good. The other characters are fleshed out. There is more comedy good in some cases unwarranted in others. I'm certain they will adress this later on.
    The most glaring problem I have is that the writing of the dialog is on sadly many places a bit childish. I know this game is tailored to mostly young people and I'm no longer a child like when the first game came out though sometimes it can be cringe worthy listening to and I hope they will fix this in the future.
    The Voice acting is as always very good and only suffers due to the less than stellar dialog. Mostly it works though.

    The gameplay in my opinion is very good. The addition of jetpacks adds another dimension that has been lacking and the adaptability the player can enjoy if they want it is very good and also explained well. This was a concern I had but the combat system is better than in the original trilogy.

    The face animations are not always spot on. That only concerns Human and Asari animation. The eyes are sometimes a problem but I think that's a bug but might be wrong. The Frostbite engine isn't good when it comes to faces but when I consider Vetra, Kallo and Drack I think they did well. Kallo's face close up looks almost lifelike.

    The exploration is well done. But it suffers from scale. It's a bit too big but consider how it was in Mass Effect 1. Mostly empty planets. This is bigger and is their second attempt. Consider the influence the Dragon Age team might have had so its natural it might emulate it. Smaller scale might have been good but you need to see the planets.

    Overall its a good start to a new trilogy and I'll hang around Bioware's games for a good while. They all have their issues in some ways but always deliver a very enjoyable experience in the end . Good job :)    … Expand

    I really care about the amount of content a game brings, and this game brought a lot. Dont buy it if you are the type who loves 9hours game with amazing graphics and who are generally super polished. This is not super polished. This is a massive game with some bugs.    … Expand

    There are a lot of dishonest scores posted here. People who got together in order to tank this game's score as some sort of retaliation against the developer for one of two things. "They didn't follow up on mass effect 3, they left my beloved characters behind, I want to know what happens to Joker, ETC..." OR they are still on the mass effect hate train from the ME3 ending.

    It's really sad such an amazing game can fall victim to so much stupidity. Developers and gamer alike should no longer pay attention to this site or it's reviews. People have figured out how to game it, and use it as a way to attempt to punish devs for anything they don't like. I have seen some people who threw the whole game away because there are gay people in it. Because it presents romantic relationships in a more organic way, and some of those potential relationships are of a homosexual nature. Ya, a guy hit on you. Guess that deserves giving the game a 0? Grow up.

    All in all, if you miss out on this game because of the idiots on this site, you're missing out on what may be one of the best sci-fi action RPG's ever made.    … Expand

    Now ever humanity is doomed, but how do you vote 1 Mass Effect Andromeda?
    at least you have tried? otherwise I do not think only a fool would give the vote as 1

    This game doesnt deserve the hate that it's getting only thing it lacks is a polish. stop following the hype train of hating this game. I have 30+ hours into this game and the only thing that breaks emersion is the bugs and frame rate drop. If I was giving the game an honest review it would be around 8 or 7.5 according to how the game ends.

    About 10 hours in. Game is pretty great. Writing is on par with the rest of the series. Some odd VO delivery and lip sync issues every now and then. The animations are not top notch but certainly not the end of the world others are treating it as (it is comparable to the rest of the series, which is all any fan really wants at the end of the day). I did not mess with the character creatorAbout 10 hours in. Game is pretty great. Writing is on par with the rest of the series. Some odd VO delivery and lip sync issues every now and then. The animations are not top notch but certainly not the end of the world others are treating it as (it is comparable to the rest of the series, which is all any fan really wants at the end of the day). I did not mess with the character creator so can't comment on that, as the series has a habit of animating the default characters better.
    Combat is massively improved and much more engaging despite losing some of the tactical nature of previous entries.
    World design is superb.
    I'm loving scanning all the things for lore.
    As always, their alien design is top notch and the new entries are just as breathtaking as our old favorites.
    I would give it 8, but will be leaving a 10 because a glance at the bad user reviews shows the Gamergate wackjobs are out in force against Bioware (par for the course).    … Expand

    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]
