Customers are enthusiastic about the gameplay, story, and exploration in Mass Effect: Andromeda, frequently praising the fun and immersive experience. Many also enjoyed the open-world aspects and the significant amount of content available. However, some players reported issues with bugs and noted that the facial animations could be improved. Frame rate problems were also mentioned by a few customers.
[I really would give this game a 2.5, if I could] The Good: Planet exploration and the single-player combat action has taken a considerable jump forward from the previous Mass Effects. I find myself wanting to go from planet to planet, seeing what treasures and dangers await me in these gorgeous new worlds. The Bad: The writing in my opinion is fairly poor, but I do understand how some will find it enjoyable. It's not that I don't like campy dialog here and there, but Mass Effect seems to be very tone-deaf at times where the character dialog and responses do not match the situation. The absence of Renegade or Paragon responses made the character dialog feel very limited most times. What made the previous games special to me is that I could add many aspects of my own personality to Shepard through the vast dialog options. In Andromeda I feel like I'm locked into being either nice or snarky and it's very predictable and sometimes straight-out boring. The Really Ugly: The character animations and in-game bugs are the worst of any AAA game I have purchased in last 5 years. I don't even of room to write the large list of bugs I have encountered in Andromeda that has cost me hours of gameplay. Some players are willing to give Bioware and EA a "pass" on these issues - I absolutely will not. ** If you are on the fence about purchasing this game and reading my review, I highly suggest you wait and see what Bioware does to address these issues. If you love Bioware and don't care about bugs or terrible character animations you probably already own this game. LOL.

I must admit I'm new to this IP but was pleasantly surprised on how fun and addicting this game can be, not to mention the phenomenal graphics and the customization of the building your armor and weapons if you have been hesitant to pick up this tile I encourage you to do so and start having some fun!!

This game has received mixed reviews, but with about 25 hours of play time in, I'm really enjoying the game. I suppose graphics and environments could be better, so (-1 star). I've played the first two games and this one has a similar feel. The game is deep, with 25 hours in I've still got a long way to go to complete the main story. Like the other previous games, there are countless side missions, so u really get your $$$ worth! Missions are fun and the familiar storyline is developed and engaging. I do miss some of the earlier crew members that aren't available in this game, like Ashley and Tali, but Cora is a nice edition. I haven't experienced any significant glitches in this game and I havent gotten stuck in the Nomad as I sometimes did in the first two games, so that's a plus! All in all a very enjoyable game that I definitely recommend to both fans of the series and those new to it.
