    Bioware and EA just stop feeding us some garbage product for full praise. Stop supporting feminism and stupid well-sold game conceptions. Start making good games!

    A faulty product where everything is half-baked, with the exception of normal and facial animations which are just in class of its own when it comes to utter failure. Not to mention Male Ryder only has 1 human female option, which is just dumb, SJW propaganda is strong with this one.

    Game glitches often. It has bad animations. Story is not the best. Enemies shoot through walls. Where did all the money go for this game? This is terrible. Bio Ware Took a step backwards in video game evolution with this game. Defiantly not worth $60. Waste of money.

    You can see that there are several positive reviews :)
    Don't miss your opportunity to chat with developers, designers and their friends & family who have no idea how to do a computer game and in a complete denial as truth is hard for them.

    Say hello to Bioware and EA. Hey guys! It would be nice to see you bankrupt in next 15 years.

The character animation is horrendous, the writing and dialog is so bad that it has made me both laugh out loud and cringe throughout my playthrough.
    This might not be a deal breaker for some, but I'm afraid that it is for me.
    I like immersion, I like feeling part of a strange, new world while escaping the boring old one.
    However, every time I spoke to a npc that look like it was a resident of the uncanny valley or I heard a piece of dialog that sounded like it was read from the back of a cereal box, I was zapped right out the world and back to my own.
    I believe this game is a failure as a role-playing game, more so when you account the amount of money, time and effort that went into it.
    I now have to accept that the bioware that I knew and loved is dead,
    I wanted so hard for this game to be good but I cannot in good faith recommend it to RPG fans.
    I suppose if you want something to pass the time and aren't too fussy about what you play, it does have good combat and nice scenic visuals but prepared to be extremely disappointed if you expect anything more.    … Expand

    I canceled my bestbuy preorder, I was hoping for a better game well it's back to For Honor and Horizon Zero Dawn. I remember playing Masseffect 2 on PS3 it was nice but this game is meh. Good luck playing a game with dumb A.I. that just stand there and die. This is not a real Mass-effect game.

    very disappointing game that I waited 5 years for, the animation and facial is so bad that really breaks the experience. There are so many bugs that just shows the game is not finish or ready.

    They tried to push this unfinished game out so they can make money that's why EA sucks.

    Некрасивые женьщины, синий хованский. Очень смешная анимация, она веселит но атмосфеу убивает. Совершенно ублюдские бои в сочетании с отсутсвием сейвов - ад и содомия. Закрытая от модов система.

    Completely and utterly the worst possible game that could have come after such a cultural phenomenon that was the original mass effect trilogy. I could have slammed the keyboard a few dozen times and still come out with a better story, better programing and better art.

    When you type Bioware on Google you'll find their slogan is "Rich stories, Unforgettable characters, and Vast worlds". ME:Andromeda has a vast world (I give them that), but it lacks in interesting story and compelling characters. ME: Andromeda fails to deliver a complete Mass Effect experience.

    I'm just gonna go with the facts that I personally found in the game. I'll start with unpleasant facts, because my first impression was full of unpleasant bugs and irritating features (and it happens right from the very beginning of the game). Character creation is very limited and a huge step backward. The templates are plain ugly, both male and female. You aren't allowed to change Ryder's original face template. Game is buggy and you'll find it quite often the first few hours. Objects/models popping in and out, sometimes they just stuck in place or completely missing. Facial animations are complete failure, they have very little expressions and terrible lipsync.
    Some character movement animations are questionable and sometime their limbs may glitch. Dialogues are average or worst if you compare it to previous Mass Effect. Also the final game doesn't look anything like in the trailer (missing "movie effects" and colors just completely different, trailer look much smoother).
    Bioware removed Paragon/Renegade features. They also removed classes. The auto cover system is annoying. The squad mates which you're supposed to "mate" with are terribly designed (the ladies are "unappealing", and I'm sorry I'm not into men). The human models look a lot like robot, their faces look like plastic and their eyes are just "dead".

    The space fantasy that I always loved from ME was ruined because of terrible first impression. Totally not what I'm looking for in a Mass Effect game. It took them 5 years to make and they are not done. They shouldn't have release it. I don't know where those $40 million go? It felt like the team that make this game weren't working as one, rather scrambled. They should've hire better animator, coder, and tester.

    There's a few things worth praising though. The combat system does work. The people who design the combat system need a raise. It felt smooth, quick, and the higher mobility is awesome. During combat you'll feel good. Tons of customization. Apart from the background music being a bit underwhelming, the vistas and the environments looking gorgeous. But those are just part of the game sadly.

    They have failed to keep me playing. It's like watching a super high budget movie with great settings but starring bad actors playing as unappealing characters with bad script. How am I supposed to involve myself in it. It definitely not worth my $60, and my time. I felt victim to the hype and Mass Effect past glory.    … Expand

    This is not Mass Effect game. This is not what the fans were waiting for, nor "just a good game for newcomers". Sure, you've killed Dragon Age, for two times ina row now, but good god, the latest ME game was already not very good, and then you're giving us this peace of space junk? Pffsht. Nope.

    It's heart breaking to know they botched this title in a serious way and it shows very clearly. All the positive reviews are also a massive let down from the community as they only serve to support or enable terrible travesties to be made out of a once beloved and well regarded franchise.

    I have canceled my pre-order for a full refund. I refuse to support companies which such a blatant disregard for quality control let alone drop the ball on essential things like facial animation and engaging dialogue. Out of this I will never again pre-order any game from EA or Bioware again.

    Imagine reading the entire Harry Potter series only to discover the last book is absolutely terrible and puts you off the entire thing for good. Now amplify that feeling a thousand times and punch yourself in the face, then you can come close to the kind of let down I'm experiencing. What an utter joke. Shame on the developers. Shame on anyone involved with this title to not step up and speak their mind and protect the franchise.

    It might be the biggest, most complex and action packed game in the franchise, but Mass Effect: Andromeda is also the least convincing one. The dated facial animations, the inconsistent writing quality and the regularly occurring bugs take you out of the experience too often. On top of that, BioWare has not used the concept of a whole new universe to its full potential, which often makes it feel like Mass Effect: Andromeda has not left our Milky Way at all.
