    I’ve gotta say I don’t understand the tearing down this game got. Technical issues aside, mostly fixed now anyway, this is a fun game.
    The graphics are great, as is the music and sound, select parts of the dialogue are poor but mostly good.
    I can definitely recommend this game.

    As always, PC Gamers are butthurt AF.
    All this hate, jkust because the animations arent good enough...

    The rest of the game is absolutely great, I would give it an 85/100, but well, counter score as always on Metacritic.

    Really, let's talk about it. I played the original trilogy all on release, and is consistently one of my most recommended series to play. Mass Effect is definitely one of a kind, and despite the unfortunate conclusion of ME3, grabs you by the heart and creates some great memories, which is hard to say about the other 95% out there.

Mass Effect is definitely one of a kind, and despite the unfortunate conclusion of ME3, grabs you by the heart and creates some great memories, which is hard to say about the other 95% out there.

    Andromeda does not deserve the hate its getting, plain and simple. The main cast is all fantastic, and the supporting cast are just as essential, with different characters blooming at different times, sometimes through direct conversations, and sometimes through eavesdropping via the metallic reverberations of their voices off of the hull as you're passing by. The detail to attention in this game is unreal. Leather pinches and squeezes audibly, dust and dirt build up on your visor and suit when you stay planet side on a desert planet for an extended period of time, and dynamic dialogue that reacts to your actions in the middle of gameplay?! Get. Out. Of. HERE!

    Yes, there are issues with the animation of the character models, but that is such an underwhelming negative in comparison to the vast amount of quality content. And the prerendered movies? Outrageously awesome.

    Keep on BioWare Montreal. Coming from someone who loves to create, I can imagine the pain that comes from receiving such negative feedback after fostering a project with such love, but please don't give in. As someone who respects the series very much, I can tell you guys I'm going to buy the **** out of the next Mass Effect game you guys release.

    Brilliant game, great story. Character models ARE a bit....ugly, but you have to be pretty superficial to let yourself be distracted from what's a fantastic game. Can't wait for the next one. And who knows, maybe they'll even patch the character models in the mean time :)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Being one of the few people who review this and has actually COMPLETED the game's story, here's my thoughts.

    First, the negative: Bugs, glitches, and sometimes poor animations. Gamebreaking? Of course not, nobody in their right mind would give a game a 0 because of some bugs and animation issues. Remember Half Life 1? Buggy as **** but people praise it. The Witcher 3? Worst release ever, but people praise it. You get the picutre.

    I actually find the story to be pretty great. It starts off a bit slow, but picks up after a while. The ending was satisfying, and left me with a pretty epic feeling. Even after you're done with the main story, there's so much to do - having only around 60% completion at the moment. Doing the crew's side quests also gives a lot of nice sidestory.

    Gameplay is awesome, and the amount of choices you have to change your character on the go is breathtaking. You can play as a charging-melee-maniac Vanguard, or you can be a "wizard" with Biotics, so many choices it's astounding. By far the best gameplay of all the ME series.

    Either way, the amount of reviewers here who has only played the trail is laughable. It's rather obvious most of the negative reviewers hasn't even played through half of the story. They read on the internet that it's bad, and joined the bandwagon because they're sheep, without the ability to have an opinion for themselves. It's pathetic, and doesn't do the game justice.

    For each person who marks this review as "not helpful", it just proves my point further. Thanks in advance.

    It has a compelling story about adventure, discovering a part of a new galaxy, finding never before seen (by Milky Way inhabitants, at least) technology and meeting new species of people. This is everything that I hoped ME:A would be.

    The music's pretty good too. The moment I turned the game on and heard the music for the title screen, I loved it.

    Based on the reviews I've seen, most of the negative reviews come from people who probably didn't even play the game and just hate EA because it's the popular thing to do. A few even criticized Bioware's inclusive policy more than the game itself, which is a useless critique.

    To anyone taking the time to read this, try the game out for your self. If the bugs worry you, give it some time, because Bioware will patch those out and make the game even better.

    Based on the bugs that the game shipped with, I would normally rate this game a 7 or 8 out of 10, and then increased my score once patches came out that fixed the problems. Thanks to the toxicity of the "fanbase," however, I'm giving it a 10 to help offset some of the BS reviews I've read on here.

    I'm a huge Bioware and Mass Effect fan, and feel that this game's flaws have been unfairly exaggerated.

    I only give 10s to games that I connect with emotionally and personally, games that engage me for hours leading to days to months, and this is one of them. A 10 in my book is not a perfect game but one which I truly enjoyed with no regrets.

    Andromeda's strengths are it's characters, specifically Peebee, Drack, Cora, Suvi, Kallo and Sloane for me. They are so well written and fleshed out that I grew to know them as I progressed further into the game. My first impressions of them changed as I got to know them. I didn't like Drack and Peebee at first but by the end, they were with me all the way. This evolution of characters felt real and personal to me, like getting to know a friend.

    It also helped that the characters were with me on an epic exploration adventure. I completely loved Scott Ryder and the Initiative's mission to explore instead of conquer. Made me think about the colonization days of the age of Empires. What did it feel like to be an invader/colonizer/conqueror? What were the challenges involved in the name of science and exploration? What does it mean to be xenophobic? There were lots of themes in the game which were subtle and made me think about questions like these, and I found it absolutely refreshing. Of course there was the usual save the universe theme, but exploration is the name of the game.

    I wasn't affected much by the facial animations. Not the best, but it got the job done. World building and landscapes were gorgeous though. Didn't experience many bugs either.

    I loved the shooting mechanics!! I played on hardcore difficulty and boy was it intense! In my opinions, they nailed it. Haven't had as much fun with shooting since Destiny.

    What I didn't like were the trivial and numerous fetch quests which I gave up on and ignored after mid way through the game. Too many "go this there and then there and also there and why not there too and since ur at it go there again and THEN, you come back for the reward". However, the main missions, side quests and companion loyalty missions were a blast, especially after connecting with the characters. It really feels like a band of brothers, although I don't care for Liam and Jaal. Super annoying.

    I really hope Bioware reads this cos I have mad respect and love for their work. Don't abandon this franchise please!! I loved the Andromeda story, characters and setting. Nothing's perfect and there's always things to improve but count me in the preorder line for the next Mass Effect title.

I was initially very skeptical of this game after seeing the early reviews and the widely negative reaction by the internet dude bro hive mind, however being a logical skeptic i chose not to trust the groupthink of the masses and actually play the game. though the game does have a bit of a slow start, so did literally all of the mass effect games but 2, i still found myself quickly falling in love with the quirky characters, and the gorgeous environments. The story telling has kind of taken a bit of a backseat in this entry in the franchise as bioware has decided to take a larger area approach to this game, much like with dragon age inquisition, however I still had plenty of gripping and engaging moments not only with the quests, but also with the breathtaking environments.

    A Lot of people have been complaining about the facial animations, and while sometimes they aren't perfect you don't really notice anything hugely wrong in real time. Most of the "llol wow dude this game is garbo" screenshots would be the same if you took screenshots of a real life video of someone's face when they are in an unfortunately weird position between movements. AKA real life has those same "animation problems." As far as the writing being bad, I wouldnt say its any better or worse than the rest of the mass effect franchise, the main story isn't the greatest thing as it feels so loose compared to other games, but honestly the focus of Andromeda seems to be more exploration and taming the wild unknowns of andromeda vs rolling through it like a book which is fine, and honestly a fresh face for the series.

    Lastly, a lot of the negative feedback on this game seems to be coming from the perspective of people who like to sling the "SJW cUck!" thing around, so if you are super scared of people who arent white hetero gender normative males then this isnt the game for you. However i really find these criticisms particularly weird because the mass effect franchise has been relatively diverse from the beginning, so these are obviously from people who haven't played the other games. Honestly, most of the negative reviews seem to be having that one thing in common, either they haven't played it and are just attacking it to be "hip," they never played the originals, or they just outright went into the game wanting to hate it.

    Even the casual banter got a contemporary upgrade. I bought it alongside the 1 09 patch. It's still buggy but it's absolutely beautiful to look at. Lovingly crafted and significantly deeper than i'd anticipated. The series got dumbed down with each release and it's back to form. The player also no longer runs like he needs to poop. It's stellar.

    ACTUAL SCORE: 9 (Inflated to counteract the man-babies giving zero and one's because they pre-hate the game)

    This game is everything I was hoping for and more. I was a big fan of the original trilogy. I am also a fan of well made open world games. However, the biggest draw here for me is the science fiction setting. I love science fiction in all mediums and Mass Effect is the undisputed king of space opera in the world of video games.

    Bioware delivers once again on pulling you into an immersive science fiction adventure in a unique universe with a great cast of characters. Hitting the reset button really revives the series for me. Being able to ditch the old cast and move on to a new galaxy with new species is wonderful. The focus on exploration is extremely welcome to me as it was one of the biggest things that the original trilogy failed to deliver.

    The size of the hub worlds are wonderful compared to previous games. Your spaceship is an awesome area that lets you soak in the atmosphere of being in space. The Nexus, humanity's space station in Andromeda, is an expansive area that serves as this games Citadel, and it is also very cool to explore and larger than any of the old games Citadels.

    I love the combat now and the way the maps are designed with more verticality involved. The jump-jet makes exploration and movement much more free and exciting. There are so many different ways you could design a class build in this game, and I have the feeling I will be playing through many times and testing out those possibilities.

    The graphics are stellar, which makes some of the character animations look silly by comparison. That was quite true throughout the original trilogy as well though and I think the focus on that by gamers is silly. To be distracted from such a wonderously deep game with so much going for it by some crappy animations here and there, is just a waste.

    If you are willing to let this game pull you in and tell you its story, it will blow you away. If you are going in as a skeptic who doesn't really have time to play it anyway and just wants some **** to feel superior about, do us all a favor and move on to trolling the next thing you want to try and suck the joy out of.

    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]
