Customer Ratings & Reviews

As a long-time fan of the Mass Effect series, I was so excited to jump back into that universe. What I found, though, was a game that felt unfinished. Fun gameplay and an interesting story are hampered by poor animation and other visual hiccups. The first patch has addressed some of the issues, but there is still a long way to go to make this the 5-star game it deserves to be.

Game is decent, bad facial animations, but worth a look if priced right

I don't put faith in a lot of critical reviews anymore, but I was bummed to see scores for this game lower than what I had hoped. Despite that, I still bought it. I put 78 hours into the game and loved (mostly) every minute. I'd say this game really is a cross between Dragon Age: Inquisition and the first Mass Effect - lots of world building with pretty fun combat. The devs have said they will also be updating the game to address areas that have received criticism, so this game could change dramatically from what it currently is. Either way, in the shape it is now, I definitely recommend it if you're a fan of Bioware or the Mass Effect series. Also, multiplayer is still amazing and even better than what it was in 3.

I read a review indicating that we couldn't choose the partners in each battle, that only the human ones were always available. This is not the case though. You can select them before each battle, but the UI is a little more confusing than in previous Mass Effect versions. Overall, this is an awesome game.

This is the first Mass Effect game I have ever played so I didn't really know what to expect but after playing it I think its alight. I know a lot of people are complaining about animations and other stuff but honestly I don't think its that bad and I haven't encountered any bugs myself. Overall I am enjoying it and while its not perfect its pretty good.

While the game itself is good, there are few things that I don't like. The cover system could of been better, the menu system is a mess, the characters dialogue just doesn't make sense sometimes, and the story itself feels a little boring at times. Other than that, the game is beautiful, combat is great once you get use to all the new things you can do. And the "open" environment is a nice welcome. There is plenty to do with plenty of options, multiplayer is similar to ME3, just faster and more chaotic. All in all a good game, some minor glitches, but nothing that hasn't resolved itself of stopped me from playing. I'm enjoying the game, and if you like ME you'll like this new entry.

Solid entry into the Mass Effect series, still worth getting even though Bioware seems like they won't be making further sequels

New mechanical changes chage the gameplay improve combat and powers. The conversation system is still in place, but not as goof/evil as the previous Paragon/Renegade system from the previous games. Odd animations sometimes will break the immersion in the world and story, but the surrounding story and gameplay still keep me coming back to the game.

This game is amazing. I heard several bad review, but I believe they’re wrong. Having several worlds to explore is very cool and if your thinking in getting it, stop thinking and just buy it. Kinda disapointed that the steelbook came with some scratching (light), but it still looks cool.

I've been a fan since the first. But a lot like the first mass effect this one comes with some bugs. Now since update 1.06 a lot of those have been fixed but the biggest thing is still the emotionless faces throughout the game. Other then that you got yourself a pretty awesome 3rd person shooter that will last you for about 40 hours.

If you are a fan of the original trilogy then this game might come as a bit of a disappointment. It's a decent game with it's high points but never fully pulls you in the way the original did. The Multiplayer however is just like ME3 and if you were a fan of that then you will enjoy it here too with it's minor tweaks and improvements.

The gameplay in this game is awesome, it is a game with a lot of things to do, customization is top notch, a lot of reviews complain about the animations, but to be honest some of them are not that bad plus I really don't buy games to see cut scenes, if you want a game with great gameplay mechanics and great story this is the game.

I bought this game having never played the first, second, or third one and was able to Jump Right In and start playing it. Graphics are nice to look at and gameplay has been fairly smooth it's a little tougher than I thought to kill the enemies but fun. If you're into third person shooters then this is definitely worth trying out.

Went in hesitant after all the bugs and animation errors but I must say its a really fun game once you get into it I haven't stopped playing since I put it in a couple days ago!

I have been waiting for this game forever and I couldn't be more pleased. Fantastic graphics, involved gameplay, immersive open world, not sure you could ask for anything else.

Mass effect andromeda has a lot of nice new features from its predecessors like terraforming and settlements, and has a decent story line, however there are still a few bugs that need fixed and the gameplay goes one of two ways your either doing story missions or getting stuck on a planet doing random stuff for 6 hours

There are a few things you need to know going in: - This is not a continuation of the Shephard storyline. You start out in a different galaxy, far from the Reaper threat and the characters you've grown to know and love. The Ryder twins (and your protagonist of choice) behave and control very differently. There is a learning curve to everything, and it is not always easy. The combat is more fluid and visceral, but that also means you'll die a little more often when you start. - The visuals go back and forth between ridiculous and ridiculous. Sometimes the beauty is overwhelming, and you really get the sense of exploration. Other times, you'll wonder how a PS2 game managed to be delayed this long. - The storyline is the same hit or miss for me. There are breathtaking moments of dark, sinister action and true moral quandaries. Then there are the lackluster expository scenes that fail to elicit the energy or emotion of the predecessor. Overall, this is a work in progress. Patches have corrected a lot of issues, and it is still the best space RPG out there now. I recommend, but with qualifications.

With all the comments, you might think the game is bad. Well, it's not. It's very good but it came with some technical problems. I will admit that and it is unacceptable with a large studio, but the game is still good. It's much more ambitious than any other Mass Effect game. It's overwhelming at times but it's still good. The story is good and the characters are likable. One character story was very emotional for me. I will only say roses. I don't think the characters are as memorable as the previous ones. Nothing will ever beat Tali. But times are different, and the game has evolved. You may not like that and that is fine. But this game is not the garbage make it out to be. People tend to be very invested and sometimes overreact. Not everything is life changing. It's still a good game with problems. They are fixing them now but I agree it should have never happened. I hope they learn from this for the next one and I think they will. Mass Effect is too important for gaming but Bioware needs to evolve more. Gaming has changed since ME 1. Buy the game. You won't regret it.

If you are like me you probably read all the negative reviews about Andromeda. The problem with the media is they are obsessed witht the linear Mass Effect that we are so used to. Believe me when I tell you there is no justification for this to be rated less than 9/10. Its not perfect but its a really good game.

I'm enjoying this game but it leaves a bit to be desired. I was expecting another Mass Effect but it's more generic than the others. Fewer choices to make, fewer new aliens, fewer places to explore. The open world thing is kind of fun but that's about all that's novel. Still, decent game for what it is.
