Mass Effect: Andromeda

I don't know why All the hate for this game I still think bioware are doing a good job on the mass effect people have got to understand that Andromeda is not the same as the frist 3 mass effect games for 1. It's a next gen game soo overall it's gonna bed different as they did the same for the dragon ages games and that turned out well.2 there's much more things to do on it and better open world with freedom of a rpg.3 yes it's got bugs but what games don't as anything else it will be fixed.it don't have to feel like the other 3 but it don't have to to injoy it hopefully people will stop comparing to the frist 3 and just see what else there is to come

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

So after self isolation in 2020 I decided to travel as far as I could, so I picked Andromeda Galaxy... After an edgy launch in 2017 Andromeda was hated and obliterated... Maybe at launch it was pretty bad with all these animation issues and bugs... Some time passed, game was patched and since in 2020 there is not many worthy sci fi RPGs to play anyway I decided I will give it a go... My God It's full of stars... Now I am reviewing the game as someone who played all 3 mass effect titles , 2 Kotor titles and Dragon age 1 &2... What can I say about Andromeda? I am enjoying it... As much as I am a fan of ME2 , which had one of the best stories ever, Andromeda does not shine with story and dialogues as much... But the exploration and combat mechanics as well as character building is actually better... I now suspect that it's fans of ME2 that generally hated Andromeda... ME2 was the most cinematic and more action focused than exploration focused out of the 3 and since majority of gamers come from that background anyway I can see why they hated Mass Effect franchise leaning toward ME1...

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.

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!
