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

But for buyers expecting Mass Effect 4, most of the time spent playing this game may very well prove uncomfortable. That's not to say I haven't enjoyed parts of this game. It is stunningly beautiful, there are some great technical achievements and most of the gameplay is quite solid. The talent and effort on display has to be given credit. however I just wish it was all driven in the right direction and these issues were recognised and addressed earlier in production.… Expand

   Having completed the previous titles with every class mostly as paragon male and as renegade girl, I don't think I can finish this game. TheHaving completed the previous titles with every class mostly as paragon male and as renegade girl, I don't think I can finish this game. The main issue is that the story is boring and the main character dialogs are too dumb to immerse in game.
   
   Pros:
   
   - Frostbite engine is a very good, is efficient, I like it. It has improved a lot since DA:I.
   
   - All that is not a character looks very good.
   
   - It can be played without being installed an SSD, which is great since it eats a lot of space.
   
   - Combat mechanics are good, not spectacular, but good.
   
   - Open world(s) gameplay is a nice change, it has flaws but not because it's open world.
   
   - Nice weapon building mechanics.
   
   - Love that the mako is back (even without guns).
   
   Cons:
   
   1 - You can only use 3 abilities.
   
   2 - The story world building does not have the quality of the previous titles.
   
   3 - The dialogs are childish, they look focused for teenager kids. They don't curse for instance. You will be hitting SPACE a lot even the first time you read the lines.
   
   4 - No renegade options, the main character cannot be a douche, no matter which option you choose.
   
   5 - The main character script does not change whether your character is male or female, making it weird because the female character feels like a boy and the male like a sissy.
   
   6 - The space activities are simplified yet again, no fuel, the scan is even simpler. Basically they removed this part of the game. Pretty similar to ME3.
   
   7 - Character models are really bad, ME1 was a lot better, in fact is the worst I've seen.
   
   7a - My Face is Tired syndrome. **Thunderbirds TV series had better face animations**. Eyebrows and eyes are not animated at all, they don't move, never. After a while I developed a constant SPACE hitting rampage because it really annoys a lot.
   
   7b - The character face editor has very few options to tweak but what is worst is that the face presets are really bad.
   
   7c - The default male character looks like if it had all the sliders in the middle, it does not have a personality. The Sheppard face comes from a real person and you can feel it or like the Geralt in the Witcher 3. The female has some personality but they didn't do it right and the face proportions are all wrong.
   
   8 - Some bugs, for instance if you save when enemies are near, the enemies will disappear when you load the game back. You can skip a lot of content that way. Also if you can kill one enemy with a single shot with the sniper rifle the others will not aggro, no matter how close they are.… Expand

   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 missionsThere 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 didn't have to pay for this particular game.… Expand
