    lol, I can't believe they released this game with so many bugs. These people were banking on the franchise to just make money and I was a sucker to buy it. So frustrating to get stuck because of object interactions not working properly. Even if you progress in the story, it feels so empty with these poorly done cut scenes and even dying due to enemies still shooting while talking to NPCs.

    Don't know what is worst, the graphics, the game mechanics or the absolutely appaling writing.

    One can only hope that the entire team behind this disaster of a game gets the boot.

    Duke nukem forever was better.

I don't care why or how it happened, the game is a shocking travesty of incomplete assets, terrible writing and IP raping for profit. Not worth $5 in it's current state.

Any game that is more focused on pushing a social/political agenda than entertaining it's players is going to be terrible. ME:A does exactly that. The romance options are destroyed by being romanceable by anyone rather than having particular same sex romance options that are properly written and real seeming. The overall character arc is weak, juvenile and uninteresting as are the storylines.

    Do not waste your money on this one, wait for it to be an "on the house" title from origin and save yourself the refund request headaches. Hopefully by then the game will have been patched to completion.

    For all those who are asking themselves "what the hell happened with Bioware"? The answer is./ It's not Bioware... It's Electronic Arts the responsible of this **** game. Since Dragon Age 2 and later the next games of Bioware were bullcrap, and it was the time when Electronic Arts bought Bioware. Electronic Arts are responsible of this ****

    Give me the newest version of Mass Effect game, not the horror comedy feminism garbage version of it.

    If this is what we get from American game developers, I will go for Japanese games as like Senran Kagura franchise or DOAX3. I hate someone who trying to control my thoughts by ruin a game like this. Games are evolving to a genre of the art nowadays, limitations and restrictions

    I wanted this to be good but I can't say that this is the game I waited so much.. Poorly optimized. Massive amount bugs and crashes. Exploring becomes very boring after 15 minutes. And THOSE ANIMATIONS. multiplayer is clunky.

    After playing the game for around 11 hours I feel that I am ready to submit a review, I never liked the ME series too much but there were some elements that kept me playing, mostly the characters and the dedicated team behind the games, there was a stain on the last three games by the end of it as ME3 ended in an horrible way,

    I was hoping that the team would come back and fix this with an awesome game with strong character development and a solid core, however as I was reading into the new team I notice some of the team had never worked on a game before and that something that I can put up with but it crossed the line when I found out who these people are, some of them are pretty extreme racists and extreme sexists, or a variation of the two. the facial animator has never worked on a game before which is fine HOWEVER this woman also made a video online entitled "I hate men" as usual kotaku tries their best to defend these absurd actions, she didnt stop there she was on the news a short while ago in america talking about how you can be sexually attacked and assaulted IN A GAME (GTA 5 for those interested).

    An animator that worked on this game was and still is openly racist towards white people on twitter, this is an all around shocking discovery for me, I wanted to love this game I really did but these social/ racist/ sexist extremists pushed their own views on the game purposely making the females less attractive and the animations made the character interaction the worst I have seen in pretty much forever and i've been gaming for 20~ years, from the characters and the team onto the game itself.

    Now the combat feels a little less like a mass effect game and more like halo 1, lots of low-polly cover and the battlefields are fairly empty and not very interesting the combat is alright but the squads are now useless so if you enjoyed them being useful or if you even remember them being there then forget about it, they've ripped it out of the game. The worlds are barren of any kind of entertainment or appeal, the only saving grace of this game is most of the time it looks really good, it's like the had some really talented artists that just wanted to make the game for the players and the experience but was ultimately let down by a script written by a 5 year old, animations and voice acting that makes Tommy wiseau a master at delivering his lines, empty worlds, impenetrable menus, the most boring quests you'll ever see and SO MANY BUGS.

    If this game stood alone I'd give it a 3.5/10 for the 40m spent on it and the time it took to come out however thats not the case due to the terrible nature of some of the team that worked on this game and the fact this is supposed to carry the torch from ME 1, 2 and 3 but honestly its not even playable in comparison.

    my recommendation; don't waste your time or money on this game and go buy NieR: Automata or ME 1/ 2

    ================================
    Pros :
    1. Better graphics and textures compare to previous series (several bad textures on NPC too!)
    2. Better combat mechanics.
    3. Okay voice acted, some NPC feels generic.
    4. Okay sound effects
    5. Music/theme is okay but the timing and placement of it is BAD
    6. It has bigger open world and environment compare to previous ME's

    Cons :

    1. Player customisation is limited and horrible and ugly default face type available.
    2. The story line is predicted, shallow and boring. This is came from Inexperince writer and stupid game director.
    3. Horrible mission design which is tedious, not memorable and repetitive.
    4. Amateur and horrible camera angle and cutscene (almost 90% of all cutscene are garbage)
    5. All main characters , NPCs are all bland and unattractive at ALL, all of them. Dont ask me how i feel about them when im playing them/interact, i dont feel at all :)
    6. This game IS NOT an RPG story driven game, its an exploration and shooting game. The story is there but it has no impact on the game overall.
    7. The open world is an empty open world. No Interesting places, No interesting events, No interesting PLOT and NPC ,
    8. Bad UI design , a real bad .
    9. Bad Optimisation for frame rate per second.
    10. Amateur and horrible animation, Horrifying facial expression, Disastrous lipsync.
    11. SP Campaign have 0 replay value . Yes it is a ZERO REPLAY VALUE.
    12. The game is buggy here and there. LOTS of it.

    B. Multiplayer Mode :
    ================================
    Pros :
    - None

    Cons :
    1. Boring and grindfest Horde Mode. Yes there is only 1 mode here just shoot the horde!
    2. Money grab EA style for treasure and items, which offers Pistols? Sniper rifle for Horde? I NEVER USE THAT THING!

    I would like to like this game, but I cant. This game is real garbage ever exist since No mans sky. Yet this come from amateur , lazy and greedy people at EA-Bioware.

    Thanks to you EA-Bioware for again dissapoint me as Huge Fans of ME2 and Dragon Age Origins. This game is worth$10 MAX, too many **** in this stuff, too many discrepancies not including the bugs.

    My final verdict is 0/10 (Yes its ZERO out of TEN) TOTALLY DISSAPOINT)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Joke of a game, do not waste your money. they will penny and dime you for dlc, there is no season pass. Design team is a bunch of hypocrites, advocating social equality and racial equality yet turn around and post anti white sematic and 9/11 jokes on their social media accounts in the case of lead game designer Manveer Heir. There is no actual assortment of romantic encounters that promote equality, as a female there are only 2 humans you can romance that are male, Hispanic and African American. there are no Indians, Asians, Caucasians, ect. as the male character there are quite a few more options but there is no equality there. the character presets are absolutely horrible and the games character graphics are worse that mass effect 1. The game is horrible as it has a serious lack of emotion and there are a lot of bugs and the story is incredibly underdeveloped. This is 2017 there are so many standards that are in games now that are %100 expected and delivered artistically by every other major game company out there and Bioware should never be allowed an exception. They did not do their job and flat out wasted 5 years and 40 million dollars by selling everyone this joke of a game. Bioware Edmonton will have to take control of this game and fix Montreal's stupid social justice warrior pride statement into an actual game that is respectable. Stay away until the next one is announced or you get bored and they have actually finished rolling out the last DLC. This review is pretty sugarcoated if you want to research my claims its not hard to read news bulletins on google or bing about the problems that this "game" has caused in the gaming community. heck pewdiepie has made a video bashing it.

Off-key voice acting delivering already cringeworthy lines makes things even worse. I mean, after you get confronted by a hostile alien commander of some sort who tries to capture your ship, all your character can muster is "I wonder who THAT guy was?".

If you want a good laugh, you'l love scenes when speaking to npcs as the facial animations almost make me feel like Im playing a game as polished as goat simulator. Continuing the multiplayer from ME3, this game put a greater emphasis on this aspect and yet still uses p2p connections. This limits the viability of playing with friends at any real-world distance and since there is no ensuring the quality of the host's connection (anyone can establish a game and can then be host to other players searching for random matches) you'll find yourself iceskating on the maps- that is if your game does not crash in one of the latest rounds. The game barely adds anything new to the original series but a couple of new alien species... how can this happen? Who made this game?

    I find it incomprehensible that anyone but a paid employee of Bioware gave this game more than 4/10. Personally I am giving it 0/10 because as far as a game goes the things it gets wrong are fundamentally indefensible.

    If you are the kind of gamer who plays and enjoys games like Mass Effect 1-3, this game will be an astonishing disappointment. If you believe a good RPG game of this scale should have: good dialogue, good visual design and aesthetics, immersive atmosphere, a high level of polish, interesting plotlines, you will be sorely disappointed in Andromeda.

    As it stands this is the equivalent of a carnival shooting range, lots of things to shoot and lots of different backgrounds to shoot them in, but what is the point without good context? People play games like Andromeda to fantasize about living in the world of the game, to imagine being the protagonist, to feel truly immersed in the elaborate worlds these games build. This is literally impossible to achieve when your cross-eyed character constantly clips, when glitches happen frequently and completely shatter any suspension of disbelief you could build up. This game rapidly becomes a chore, the only person I can imagine enjoying this game is someone who has been in a coma for the last decade and this game was the first thing they played after waking up. Even then they'd become sorely dispirited after discovering that in ten years games had improved so little.

    But above all else Andromeda's greatest sin is it's scale. Considering that this game is so lacking in quality playing it would be a waste of time, the amount of hours one would sink in to beating this game could better be spent playing literally dozens of other far more immersive games. It is ironic that apologists for this game reference it's scale and scope as positives, which is like shouting about what a great deal an all you can eat buffet of diarrhoea.

Was it a good ending, eh if you go by the indoctrination theory i guess but it was good for what it was. THEN COMES ALONG MASS EFFECT ****ING ANDROMEDA TO RUIN THE GREATNESS OF THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY!!! While the original trilogy was known for its amazing story, great writing, unforgettable squad mates, and more, Andromeda takes all that and throws it out the air lock.

    I think I now understand how star wars fans felt when the prequels came out cus this game is so ****ing terrible that if Bioware literally released a game where you play as Jar-Jar ****ing Binks and you just run around the citidel running errands, THAT would be a better game, in fact that would be such a good game by comparison I wouldnt even hesitate to give it game of the ****ing century when compared to this turd.

    Here are a list of complaints I personally have with the game:

    - The writing comes across as bad fan fiction AT BEST. All the characters are bland and boring, uninspired, etc. I've played indie games with a fraction of the budget that have better writing. When games like Hyperdimension Neptunia, a meta joke of a franchise literally with 1/1000th of the budget specifically made to make fun of the video game industry have better writing than your AAA multi-million dollar game, you know you ****ed up (and I'm not saying Neptunia is bad (its actually super underrated), I'm saying that its sad that such a tiny game has better writing than a game with some of the best writers in video games)

    - THERE IS SJW PANDERING EVERY 2 ****ING SECONDS!!! I WANTED TO ENJOY THIS GAME, I REALLY DID BUT THERE IS SO MUCH PANDERING I LITERALLY CANT PLAY IT WITHOUT PUKING!!! HOW THE FLYING **** DO U GO FROM GEMS LIKE MASS EFFECT 2 AND ARGUABLY 3 (except the ending), WITH SMART AND UNBIAS POLITICAL COMMENTARY, WHERE YOU DECIDE WHATS RIGHT, TO SOMETHING THAT IS SO BIAS AND PANDERING TO SJWS THAT ITS UNPLAYABLE??

    - THE GLITCHES!!! Keep in mind that i generally dont care if a game is buggy as long as its good. For example, Xcom 2 is broken on PC to this day but it is so fun I can look past the bugs and give it a 10/10. When the story is bad, the writing is bad, the game is boring, AND THEN U ADD ON A TON OF GLITCHES, thats when I care about glitches

    - THERE IS NOT A SINGLE INTERESTING CHARACTER IN THE ENTIRE GAME!!! FOR ****S SAKE KHALISAH AL-JILANI (The reporter that gets punched a lot from the original trilogy) HAD MORE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT THAN ANY CHARACTERS IN THIS ENTIRE ****ING GAME!!!

    - SQUADMATES ARE USELESS

    - SQUADMATES ARE BORING, ALSO PEEBEE HAS THE VERY DEFINITION OF A STEREOTYPICAL SJW VOICE!!! I WANTED TO ROMANCE HER BUT I CANT GET PAST HOW MUCH OF A ****ING PSYCOTIC SJW SHE SOUNDS LIKE... Ok fine Drax is a ok character but thats it. I WISH HE WAS IN THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY THO, A 1500 YEAR OLD KROGAN, HOW LEGEND!!!

    - EXPLORING IS BORING

    - THEY ****ED UP MULTIPLAYER, ME3 multiplayer was good, they ****ed up the balance and now its really really bad.

    - CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THERE ARE LITERALLY ONLY 2 ALIENS IN THE ENTIRE GALAXY??

    - The game doesnt even respect its own lore let alone previously established lore. Pay attention while playing, soooo many inconsistencies. Also why the **** would they not bring omni-gel, this stuff literally heals any life threatening wound in seconds and works on most species yet you chose not to bring this amazing invention?

    - I couldnt care less about the bad guys

    - The menus are worse than vanilla skyrim

    - No paragon/renegade.

    - it does not feel like a mass effect game.

    - I CANT RUN THE GAME WITH MY GRAPHICS CARD OVERCLOCKED SINCE IT THINKS I REMOVED IT IF I RUN OVERCLOCK, IF THAT WERE THE CASE I WOULD GET A BLUE SCREEN.

    - I was hyped for 5 ****ing years for this turd. 5... *****ING... YEARS... This game is the most blatant cash grab I've ever seen

    - I would list more... but my face is tired

    Anyways. I will never, EVER, be buying a bioware game ever again. This is the worst game I've ever played NO QUESTIONS ASKED, and no i'm not exaggerating. Now if you will excuse me I'm going to go play big rigs since that is a FAR superior game

I could easily go ahead and rage and bash MEA and I truly want to throw a fit and get petty, however keeping things relaxed I would say that Andromeda failed, simple as that. I was emotionally attached to the original ME trilogy so when I witnessed the new Mass Effect I was almost offended, I felt as if I watched a parent give up on life quit their job and just start letting them self go. If you adored the ME trilogy please do yourself a favor and avoid this game. If you have never played mass effect before I recommend playing mass effect 2 first as the first one is very clunky and unplayable for some, but honestly any mass effect will do. Bottom line do not buy this game unless you have never played a video game in your life. Expand

Horrendous story on so many levels! I expected bugs to be fixed 6 months after the game released but it is not. I came in with a super high tolerance for this game due to how much I loved the ME series but even then I am disappointed. Expand

    Para todos los que no hayan jugado los anteriores 3 Mass Effect sobre todo el primero, entiendo que sus estándares sean realmente bajos y queden "asombrados" con algunas características de este nuevo ME que tiene mucho reciclaje del ME 3, sobre todo el sistema de combate.
    Pues bien, para los que si sabemos de la saga de ME este es el peor de todos sin duda alguna, después de los estándares que dejaron en ME 3 este juego pareciera ser del 2012 mas que del 2017. Bugs bugs bugs y mas bugs sin parar, asi es, lo que ven Youtube no es broma, el juego esta plagado de bugs y glitches que si bien algunos son inofensivos otros son completamente terminantes forzandote a cargar a un punto anterior al juego, ya sea porque te quedaste atrapado en algun punto o por algun bug con los NPC.
    La animación.....dios! Los estándares que teníamos eran para un juego de 2017 "new gen" y resulta que ME 3 en la Xbox 360 se veia mejor! Sobre todo el modelo de los personajes humanos es completamente HORRIBLE, todos parecen robots sin el mas minimo de emociones, lo unico bueno son los graficos de ambientacion y los aliens, pero todos los humanos estan completamente jodidos.
    Estoy seguro Bioware "rusheo" la salida de este titulo y sus controles de calidad fueron muy bajos o casi nulos, ya que a las 15 horas que lo juegas se nota que no es un juego terminado como lo era un Wicher 3 o un GTA V
    Mi recomendación para todos es que se esperen a que Bioware se ponga a arreglar todos los problemas antes de que se lo compren, porque les dara una o dos canas verdes, aunque tambien se lo pueden comprar para reirse un buen rato por la cantidad de bugs estupidos que tiene jajaja!
    Por ultimo la historia es la mas palida de todas.....mas palida aun que el final de ME 3 que fue tan criticado, Andromeda deja mucho que desear, la historia es muy simple y peca de emocion y si a eso le agregas que todos los humanos parecen androides creppy sin emociones pues peor aun!
    Le quedo grande el nombre a este ME, una pena, prometia mucho pero dejo deseando bastante.

Most of gamers like to feel as "themselves" when playing and RPG games and MASS EFFECT Andromeda does exactly the opposit, it puts the player in the skin of a "ship" when we all want to be the "wolf".

    if you compare this "new commander" to Shephard (god forgive me), all you have is an imbecile unable to "talk back" when people say he/she is wrong, most of decisions you have to make try to acommodate "everyone's" wants and needs and that is BAD, you cannot favor or criticise races in the game and everything revolves around a very weak storyline.

    Holly crap, I was going to buy ME Andromeda because i liked the first trilogy. After what I saw what the female character looks like in youtube, I completely lost my appetite to play the game. I rather play 2d games with nice looking character than this rubbish.

    A massive let-down and a disgrace for Mass Effect Franchise : Electronic Arts once again that all he cares is robbing money from gamers pockets.

Btw, since the game came out in 2017, get ready for more and more and more feminism, where 90% of your side-characters, NPCs and bosses are women....and from minorities....eerrrrr majorities !

    To summarize, that game could have been made by Oprah. And it is a pain in the *ss to play with the lack of content and the glitches.

    Compared to the greatness that was Mass Effect 2, this is an embarrassment. 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,Compared to the greatness that was Mass Effect 2, this is an embarrassment. 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. So, yea, it's pretty **** Expand

    Sadly this game can't keep up with the previous Mass Effect games.
    worse music, worse sound effect, boring gameplay. But better planets, and atmosphere, and better graphics.

    Graphics: good
    Sounds: medium
    Music: medium
    Control: good
    Perfomance: good
    Gaming experience: medium (boring linear, weak story)

    Very foolish, boring plot, lousy dialogues, poor optimization, annoying infinite crafting system and uncomfortable inventory. Unpresentable soundtrack. At the time of release game had miserable facial animation,a large number of graphic glitches, and game breaking bugs.Absolutely fair to say that the 21 march 2017 is day when mass effect died.

    There is no difference if this game exists or doesn't. No one considers this game to be mass effect.
    The game has no defined plot, no defined characters and is a pure failure.
    We expected continuation of Shepard's story. And what we got was some generic third person game with no point. The only outstanding thing in this game is amount of political propaganda. Don't get me wrong - I am

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To think that this was going to be my game of the year. But it ended up being the last 15 minutes of mass effect 3. Where do I begin. The npcs were as fake as chik fil a employees. The pacing was as slow as their drive thru. This games budget was about the price of 2 car loans, or if you are a true American, a whole year of college. Overall, this game was definitely not my pleasure. 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

    There is no way to change language in polish and russian version of the game if you got it on origin.
    Also while doing the main missions there is no way to save the game and you have to count on the autosave feature that honestly really sucks. Animations suck too. It may not sound like a lot but it literally made me create this account to write this here even tho it's on EA play and i

    Atrocious. Just complete trash, story wise.

    The combat is fine, but if you're playing a Mass Effect game for the combat system you're doing something wrong. The open world is also awful, imagine that you took the Empty mako planets from ME1 & filled it with generic world of warcraft kill/fetch quests. Like the hinterlands in Dragon Age Inq. I would not recommend this to anyone

    Pros
    - the flexibility of being able to use any ability in the game is nice
    Cons - story = gutter trash - character = abominable - combat = garbage - dialogue = good for a 4th grader - choices = lmao - exploration = stupidly tedious - voice acting = sounds like a school play played by the basketball team - bugs = all of them I absolutely adore the original Mass Effect

    - 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.

    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.

    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]
