    I could use many words to define Mass Effect Andromeda, but I can summarize it in: Simply Mass Effect. Thanks Bioware for coming back to become a star of a space opera.
    The animations are not good, but that can not cover that we are facing a very good game. This is Mass Effect and breathes from the first to the last moment. Perfect 10/10

    I tried to like the game but just could not stomach it. This is from a guy who played ME1, 2, & 3 multiple times. Those games literally pulled a player into an emotional investment with the main characters. That was the most compelling part of the franchise. In addition to that, the modeling, voice acting and stories were just great. Andromeda has creepy looking faces, "even" lightingI tried to like the game but just could not stomach it.

Andromeda has creepy looking faces, "even" lighting when in-doors, odd animations, and the dialog is just ... meh. After 2 days of playing I didn't "care" about any of the characters. Luckily, an EA chat agent did give me a refund. This game is a lackluster mess.… Expand

    This game in a nutshell is disappointing. Everyone knows about the terrible animation. But Its also the game play that at first 3hrs is fun, quickly dulls. For a $19 game that wouldn't be a problem, but for $60? AI is terrible. Controls are Ok. Don't go in expecting the witcher 3 kind of open world. Its mostly empty spaces, with little details.

    Very good and MASSIVE game.
    40 hours, 30% total progress and I'm not even bored yet.
    I've created custom male character, so I have no issues with animations.

    Not truly a Mass Effect game, but good game in ME setting. My score: solid 8/10

    let me first say, this isnt going to be a review mindlessly bashing the game, but im not going to white knight for it either. let me be frank, this game has serious issues. the pop ins, goofy facial animations, and all manner of awkward glitches occur. and if thats not enough, the character creation is just... bad. honestly worse than the 1st game... but with that being said, does thislet me first say, this isnt going to be a review mindlessly bashing the game, but im not going to white knight for it either. let me be frank, this game has serious issues. the pop ins, goofy facial animations, and all manner of awkward glitches occur. and if thats not enough, the character creation is just... bad. honestly worse than the 1st game... but with that being said, does this game deserve a user rating of 3.7? no.

    the combat in this game is addictive, and quite fun, the exploration is also enjoyable. the only way you could rate this game a 3.7 (or lower) is by completely ignoring all the good aspects, and solely focusing on the negative. is this game an 8/10? no. it has too many issues to get a high rating imo. is this game worth full price in its current state? probably not. but if a patch comes out fixing the issues that i previously mentioned, i might just change my opinion on that.

    in conclusion, the game has serious issues that are hard to ignore but the gameplay itself is enjoyable, i would say maybe give it a chance once a few patches have been released.

    (and if you were wondering yes you can definitely see that the people who made this game had a political agenda they wanted to push, but its really not as bad as some are making it out to be)    … Expand

    I don't usually write reviews but I've been a mass effect fan all the way since the first one and I feel that this latest iteration of my beloved franchise deserves one.

    Firstly, Id like to get the reason I scored it extremely low out of the way. In terms of the game content and quality I'd rate Andromeda around the 4 maybe even 5 out of 10, you can see glimpses of a good game hidden here. So why the zero score? To be honest its to counteract the biased scores that hardcore fans have been giving this game. I totally understand where their coming from, no one likes people trashing on stuff they like its natural. However I hope as true fans of the series you can see that this franchise deserves so much more and that scoring Andromeda anything beyond a 6 is an exaggeration and only serves to downplay the franchise and present to people that mass effect fans have low standards.

    Bluntly put as consumers we deserved so much more then an unfinished and unpolished game riddled with bugs and technical issues (I've crashed quite a number of times) of which unfortunately is the group Andromeda is in. With that out of the way let me address the cons of this game so new comers and old fans that haven't pre-order yet can know what exactly their jumping into.

    Right of the bat you're treated to some of the most horrendous character designs and animations that make u paused and wonder if they transferred this particular part of the game creation to some shady third party. The contrast in quality between your characters and the level is striking with emotionless faces being the norm in almost every conversation, not a soothing thought when mass effect highly prides itself in conversations and character buildup. Speaking of character buildup its very weak, at least in comparison to previous mass effects. Everyone seems too willing to be your pawn and despite bioware clear attempt to introduce varied personalities, none of them brought a sense of companionship instead feeling very artificial and forced.

    Gameplay wise Andromeda gun fights are fun despite the AI occasional suicidal nature. Its clear from the start though that Bioware focused more on the shooter elements then the RPG side. The game is much more fast pace and hectic then previous iterations and this might put some old time fans off. The removal of locking you to a class is a good improvement and helps more people experience different classes as opposed to starting all over, you can also mix skills between classes.

    In conclusion, I really can't recommend this game to anyone. Sure the fights can be fun, the levels can look amazing. However the cons makes this a game worth passing. If you're a sci-fi junkie or/and mass effect fan like me, then I'd suggest you wait till bioware comes and fix the glaring issues plaguing the game. Ultimately this score reflects my opinion that a game should never be released in this state.    … Expand

    What a turd. They got Wrex's name wrong, as well as Garrus's sex of all things. And you can shag the Illusive Man's daughter? Is that supposed to be a joke? Why can't you shag your sibling instead... on second thoughts it's probably best that you can't because they didn't implement putting a bag over their heads to hide their stupid ass faces.

    I really wanted to like this game, the series only got better after the original Mass Effect, and after a 5 year wait I had high hopes and expectations.

I've played about 20 hours in now and unfortunately it seems the wind in the sails of the series died out long ago (I'll update the review if any of that changes, but at this point I don't think I can take more punishment from this game without some major fixes). From funky animations, homely looking uninteresting character, to a questionable story and boring repetitive gameplay. To make matters worse, the different parts of the game don't even mesh real well with one another; it's like a whole bunch of different people worked on different parts of the game and failed to ever communicate with one another. It has left the game at launch to be one big dysfunctional mess.

    Starting out it goes wrong real quick. The default characters are certainly nothing to write home about. Male Ryder is salvageable, but Female Ryder looks plain bad. Attempting to fix it in the CC is no easy task either. You cannot modify the default faces and the pre-set CC faces are one step above abominations. One you decide upon a face, again another challenge presents itself in the form of a very (think 2002) simple CC, there aren't many options available and whatever you come up with will always resemble the pre-set face.

    The poorly implemented animations hit you almost immediately, and continue throughout. From odd facial expression to no expression at all, lifeless hands, strange walking behavior, and the biggest offender, poor lip-syncing to the dialogue, it plain out doesn't look good. It fails to suspend disbelief and for a game based on so much dialogue is difficult to get past.

    Aside from animations, graphically the game holds up no mind-blowing or spectacular, but by no means bad. The landscaping is nice and much of the game looks good enough to immerse yourself in, the problem here is the characters stick out rather badly. They are cartoonish, waxy, and in some cases downright inhumanly ugly. The aliens naturally look better, mostly because there isn't a frame of reference for exactly "how" they should look, the humans are simply ridiculous. Some of them look like they were taken strait out of The Old Republic and just had new textures slapped on them.

    Gameplay is okay at points and boring at others. The combat is familiar and largely unchanged from ME3, aside from the addition of the jet pack. The Nomad is okay to drive for about 10 minutes but quickly starts feeling more like a family van on a road trip than an APC. The lack of weapons was a terrible mistake and after awhile just getting in and out to fight things becomes a chore. The original devs dumped it for a reason, it should have stayed in the garage. The mini-games/puzzles are horrendously boring/frustrating and mining for things, we'll I'm just not going to mine (really what was wrong with the orbital probe?) Missions are at best mildly entertaining and at worst mindless tedium, too much fetch filler and pointless dead-ends.

    The story, at least to the 20ish hour mark is less than stellar. It takes a long time to get going and once it does, it feels more like the buildup to an aborted launch than an actual liftoff. It doesn't have the urgency or charm of the original series and it doesn't help that it is being played out by largely uninspired characters. The main antagonist seems more like a speed bump instead of that giant imposing stop sign that makes you take pause at what your are up against.

    The developers it seems were out to make a game of a grand scope and scale and in doing so failed to see the little things that passed right by the wide angle lens they were using to see the game with. Mass Effect was never about having vast landscapes to explore or tons of mindless things to do. It was about the story and characters, and the interaction of those two that made Mass Effect special. By attempting to make such a grand scale game they lost sight of that and ended up with a grand mess. What would have been wrong with simply making a Mass Effect game? Why try to turn it into something it is not, something that other games do so much better? Hopefully with time they can iron out and fix much of this, it's just unfortunate that they chose to go down a path that attempts to make Mass Effect just another sandbox game instead of narrative masterpiece.    … Expand

    The hatred for this game is more about jumping on the "hate train", and little to do with the games own merits. You will find that the majority of negative reviews focus mainly on 3 issues; the animations, bugs and lacklustre story.

    While this instalment of the series certainly does suffer from these issues, the game is still hardly deserving of such ridiculously low scores. Especially since this game has been improved upon in many other areas. The combat, game size, graphical fidelity, sound and weapon/armour modifications, have all improved.

    But none of that seems to matter because the "faces are weird"........ so it deserves a "1". Give me a break. There are so many games released with bugs and bad animations; this game is not the first, and certainly won't be the last. And I'm not saying that this should be an acceptable practice; only that ME;A is getting crucified for it when so many other games, of the same calibre or less, get a "pass" of a 5, 6 or even higher of a rating. This should tell you that these are nothing more than "hate train" reviews.

    Yes, this game is lacking in areas, but all games do, albeit some more than others. There are even design choices they've made in the game I had wished they'd done differently. However, overall, I find it fun and engrossing, despite it's flaws and short-comings.

    In my opinion, ME;A is far from a masterpiece, but also far from a terrible game.    … Expand

    I was skeptical about this game because the ending of ME3 ruined the entire trilogy. I was so disheartened that I never play ME since I finished ME3. However, Andromeda's story is even worse right in the very beginning. The game was rushed so I tempered my expectation. I actually don't mind the graphical glitches because these issues can be patched eventually. But the story is so bad that I feel torn apart, even in the first hour. I was just speechless, after the first hour of play through, after three years waiting. I don't think I will ever want to play a mass effect game again.

    Sadly, ME:A is objectively mediocre at best in those departments. The environmental graphics are stunning, but the characters look cartoony and out of place, especially with the terrible animations. The gameplay is decent, not perfect but not bad either. It feels a lot like ME1's gameplay but faster and more action-packed. Sadly the game has plenty of glitches and bugs, mostly of graphical nature but in general the game feels very rough around the edges. Performance-wise, the game is also rather poorly optimized. You need a beast of a machine to play this game on 'ultra' while honestly it doesn't look better than The Witcher 3 or Dragon Age: Inquisition (which both had much less extreme hardware requirements).

    If we look at the open-world exploration aspect of ME:A, there's much left to be desired there too. The world look graphically stunning, but the things to do feel like busywork and things get pretty repetitive and can sometimes feel like a grind. This is especially obvious after having played The Legend of Zelda; Breath of the Wild, a game that really set a new standard for open-world games and really managed to make open-world exploration fun! ME:A just falls kinda short in that aspect compared to Zelda BoTW.

    Then there's the writing, which is a bit more of a subjective thing (some people love BioWare's writing, others hate it), but even so, some of the dialogue feels objectively awkward and out of place, with sometimes rather questionable delivery. Several times I felt "wow, a real person would never say that" or "a real person would never say it that way". I have some objections with the main story too, but I won't be going into that here. I will say however that in my opinion ME:A has the worst main story in any Mass Effect game to date. The story feels like a rip-off from DA:I and not as well thought out.    … Expand

There is so much that is good, and so much that needs editing. The parts that need editing are the parts that hooked most of the ME fans though - characters, plot, dialogue. It's frustrating to see the quality in the game be lost amidst the rough portions. I am really enjoying the feel of the game, the combat, the planet exploration, the codex reading, and the "talkie techie" stuff in the game. But I can't defend the poor animation choices and poor human character design, thinner plot, and rough dialogue. Thankfully for me, those issues have not persuaded me to abandon the game because they are not always present - and sometimes they actually work well. Please don't think it's all bad. Rarely is anything so black and white as that. My advice is that when the price is right for you, give it a shot and decide for yourself. You may find that the rough draft is still worth reading.… Expand

    wow just terrible, I cant believe this is a game developed by the same developers who created mass effect 1-3 and dragon age 1, just so sad how EA managed to mess up such a massive title

    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.

    While it’s underwhelming in places, there’s a lot to like as you venture into the weirder parts of Andromeda. Frequent technical issues hamper the experience a bit, as does an uninspiring main story. [June 2017, p66]

    A welcome, if slightly patch return for Mass Effect. The script has problems, but combat is bloody brilliant. [May 2017, p.62]
