  Four years later, Mass Effect: Andromeda is much better than its first impression. The game has gone through ten major patches since release, improving its weak points (like animations) and fixing many of its well-known bugs. Additional content has been added to both multiplayer and singleplayer, and bonus items are included in this deluxe edition. At the original full price, ME:A very much falls short of the hype in early 2017. But at a reduced price today, and maybe even at 1/10 of the pre-order price, thanks to sales, the game is more than worth the money. This is a bargain for 100 hours of AAA game content. It is obvious now that many areas of ME:A, such as facial animations and story, lack polish. Some bugs are still present. Mutiplayer games are difficult to find without a group of friends. Though with three friends and a little bit of patience, MP can be a fantastic coop experience. However, the core gameplay has received widespread acclaim. Combat makes Andromeda one of the best third-person shooters to this day, and the deep customization gives players incredible freedom to play their own ways. The enjoyability of characters and exploration can be debated, but at the end of the day, even if all dialogues and side missions are skipped, the game is still worth its heavily discounted price. Mass Effect: Andromeda has not entirely redeemed itself from a terrible launch. But players might be surprised to find some new energy on its previously tired face.

  Man this is a hard one. Ultimately, here's the shortest way I can put this: Is it better than the original trilogy? No. Does it have a lot of flaws, like a needless open world, a weird face problem, and a somewhat bungled premise? Yes. But do I still recommend it? Yeah probably. The new gameplay/gunplay loop is pretty good. Getting to switch your ability loadout on the fly is a ton of fun. And while the story is inconsistent, I was interested in it. And the last mission was pretty solid. The companions were also well done, easily on par with ME1s companions (if you ignore ME2 and 3, which only seems fair). The flaws are serious enough that I probably won't play it again for years, if ever. And if I do, it'll be with serious mods. BUT I don't regret playing it either. I don't know, make sense of that jibberish.

  Not as bad as you'd think but not as good as you'd hope.

  Game has been rendered unplayable due to EA turning off Origin and forcing me to update to the EA Play app, which doesn't work for ANY of my EA games through Steam. Well done EA, proving you're useless once again. *Slow Clap*

  Mass Effect: Andromeda is the fourth major entry in the Mass Effect series and serves as a standalone title in the franchise. Released in 2017, Mass Effect: Andromeda released to polarizing reviews, due to numerous technical issues, poor writing, and falling into the standard trope of open world video game design. So, did it ruin the franchise? Is it as bad as everyone says? No, not really. Set in the Andromeda galaxy (hence the title), the game takes place 634 years after the events of Mass Effect 3. You take on the role as Scott or Sarah Ryder as you try to colonize various worlds in Andromeda to make life habitable for the Milky Way races. Fundamentally, this is the best playing game of the franchise. You can jump, quick dodge, and switch Biotic profiles on the fly, making combat feel much more open and experimental than the previous games in the series. Firefights are fast paced, biotics are a blast to use, and gun-play is extremely satisfying and feels natural. Unfortunately, squad commands are dumbed down to telling your companions where to go, there's no more power wheel, so you're completely reliant on yourself in combat. The Nomad is the vehicle used to explore the open world planets, and it controls and traverses much better than Mako did. On the flip side of gameplay, there is a ton of backtracking. Quests will span multiple planets, and to get to these planets, you'll have to sit through multiple loading screens, which becomes very time consuming and tedious. Unfortunately, there are still plenty of bugs left unresolved even after the game was patched. These bugs did become a hindrance and grew more frustrating as the game wore on. The games exploring and questing suffers from a lot of empty space with simple fetch quests that weren't fun to do. The game spans across 5 main planets, your own ship called the Tempest, and the citadel-like Nexus. These planets range from frozen wastelands, to deserts, to beautiful jungles, and the sights of them are breathtaking at times. The Nexus is done very well, and it was fun to explore. The Tempest, while small, was still designed well, but it didn't have the same sense of identity that the Normandy had. Unfortunately, there are plenty of pop-in issues, shadow problems, and other glaring visual effects that weren't patched after the game's release. Face models, even after patches, still look abysmal by 2017 standards. Most character models of the same races look identical and most character models look extremely lethargic, which can be jarring. It's unfortunate and very noticeable within the game. As far as role-playing mechanics, the game stuggles in some regards. The renegade/paragon system is removed for more logical/lighthearted responses, that never really felt like much of the choices made mattered. Conversations felt like they were being funneled into the same path no matter what line of dialogue was selected. Companions can't die, which lowers the stakes compared to the original trilogy. While there are several important choices, it would've been nice to see more of them with the same weight as the previous games. In terms of class systems, players are no longer restricted to one class per playthrough. Instead, there are multiple profiles (Vanguard, Soldier, etc.) that can be switched during gameplay to suit whatever style of gameplay you'd like to play in the moment. There a multitude of skills to upgrade and specialize in, and there's a deeper crafting and development system than in previous games. Now in terms of writing, this is by far the weakest in the series. The game is poorly paced, and the main story is essentially a worse rehash of the first game. Dialogue can range from awful to very good, and it was unfortunate to be intrigued by a side story or the main quest, just to be pulled out of it by an extremely poor/executed line of dialogue or a plot thread that didn't make much sense. Most of the companions are well written, but none of them (except for maybe Jaal) hold a candle to any of the companions of the original games. While a lot of the side quests are the traditional go-here, do-that of generic open world games, there were a few that were well written that I considered very good. It's just unfortunate that when I did come across a quest that I genuinely enjoyed, there was always a feeling that there would be a 4-5 quest follow up of filler and backtracking. If the game had more quests handled with the care and emotion that the companion quests did, the writing would've been much better. Is Mass Effect: Andromeda as bad as everyone says? No, not at all. I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, the complaints that people have about it are 100% valid. When BioWare has a 20 year history of pushing out some of the best RPGs ever made, the question 'is it that bad?' should never be asked to begin with. Andromeda is a good sci-fi RPG that is fun to play, however, it doesn't live up to the standards set before it, and ultimately misses the high bar set by the Mass Effect franchise. It's a game built on good ideas, that were poorly executed at times. A game that BioWare hopefully learns from moving forward. If you like Mass Effect, Andromeda is a decent addition to the universe, but go in with low expectations to get the most of it. Writing: 14/20 Gameplay: 16/20 Setting: 15/20 RPG Mechanics: 15/20 Visuals: 16/20 Total Score: 76/100

  In all fairness, I have a lot of sympathy for the devs. They did a great job given the context. But this is, by far, the worst Mass Effect. It had so much potential, and it turned out to be pretty bad. Bad writing, bad voice acting, horrible UI, clear lack of play testing and, of course, bad animations. Ryder is nowhere near as interesting as Shepard, and SAM is a litteral ear cancer. This game is obviously made by talented people that lacked any form of proper direction. Ask Van Gogh to play piano and you'll end up with Andromeda.

  Do not go into this expecting Mass Effect. You'll be disapointed. it's a cool sci-fi/exploration/investigation shooter tho.

  My experience is that its gets really old really quick. There is entirely too much drama and blah blah blah in the game. Unlike ME3 where the drama and teamwork is written well and fun, Andromeda is just boring and after several hours I just wanted to trash it. ME3 has real romance and fun NPC interactions, Andromeda does not! I spent too much time bouncing around in vaults only to come out for too much super long dialogue based missions. For the action, shoot em up junkie this ain't it.
