Mass Effect: Andromeda

Don't jump on the bandwagon that some harsh critics started. This game is actually very good! It's only real flaw is that it had to follow one of the greatest trilogies ever. Yes, people wanted insane graphics and they wanted mind blowing gameplay, but realistically, how likely was it that this game was going to be everything that everyone wanted it to be??

I played through this game after completing the first three and I really enjoyed it. I loved the sense of being in an unknown galaxy, where nothing is known and everything is being experienced for the first time.

Yes, there are some flaws with graphics (in very few places if at all now that BioWare have patched them). And the lack of alien species encountered in this new galaxy can be a bit frustrating. But overall I thought this was a brilliant game, and a very good follow up to the original trilogy with a very good storyline and characters that have serious potential if this new series of games is allowed to unfold without everyone hating on it.

I encourage you, ignore the original hate, start playing with an open mind and you will honestly enjoy this game for what it has to offer!

It really looks like the same game as Dragon Age Inquisition but in different settings and with different fight mechanics. Same boring side quests, rushed finale, bad or non-existing animations, bugs and glitches. So why everyone is saying that this one is so much worse? Because Bioware couldn't keep up the same feeling of running important organisation from zero to hero, and they builded up those super high stakes that you really don't even care about cause of the medium-quality writing. And with lack of that you are starting to notice things that in were hidden in DA:I behind that Inquisition atmosphere. No variety of enemies, technical issues, poor dialogues and quests that seems to be even worse than they really are. It took me 120 hours to finish it with 98%. And even with that wasted potential of the amazing Mass Effect universe that they created in the original trilogy I still quite enjoyed that. Combat is good and most of moral choices are forcing you to think about consequences, graphics is really nice and some moments can be impressive. This game is good and bad at the same time. I'll just leave this with 7/10 wich for me is safe, correct but still underwhelming and kinda mediocre.

I think the extremely bad reviews exaggerated and consider the game a must-have for any RPG, and especially fans of the series!

This game is FANTASTIC. This is a perfect stand-alone game in the Mass Effect universe. The story is great and keeps you wanting to continue to find out what happens next. By far one of my favorite games. Plus who doesn't love complete and full customization.

Ok, I will admit my first play through was a shambles. Half of what makes up the Mass Effect universe was missing. I needed my dose of the Quarians I tell you!

However, on a second playthrough, a colleague convinced me to go in with fresh eyes, just Andromeda no Mass Effect. So I did.....

And my god this game is good. Some obvious ploys and deliberate plot holes ready for the next instalment. Which sadly looks like won't come to fruition. :( But I could have lived with story holes, knowing it will be revealed eventually in further games or DLC.

The combat is fun and worked well, the characters where a little similar to the DA:I group but hey, if it ain't broke why fix it. The voice acting was good and the story kept me interested.

It's a real shame we won't see anymore of Andromeda.
