Customer Ratings & Reviews

Closest thing to a next GEN Star Trek game we have right now. Also, unlike the previous ones you can jump and you even have a dash move you can do in the air.

I had a great time with the game. It gave me a throwback to the old days of ME1. The stories are well written, the traits of the different alien races are well presented and the gameplay is great. Yes, the game is a bit buggy and sometimes loads in characters a bit late (at least on xone), but it is nothing game breaking and just requires a bit of patience from time to time. I finished the game within 75 hours and during that time only once I encountered one bad bug in a quest where I had to kill myself to progress....so again nothing special here. The game is in a good state now. The skill system is very nice and easy to understand, giving your followers the right abilities allows you to synergize and create effective comobos. Also the weapon crafting offers a great variety of options. You can create weapons that shoot lighting beams, which melt through shields, or weapons which shoot explosive projectiles. The only thing I didn't like as much was the music in the game, it just didn't hit my spot (but whatever...to each his own) All in all i had a great time with the game, it really fell in line with the earlier mass effects....too bad they closed the developer team down.

This game is a perfect addition to the Mass Effect family. I consider myself to be a die hard fan of the series and this game is the perfect addition to the family. The story, the gameplay, the combat mechanics are amazing. The exploration, the NPCs, and other aspects of the game just work for me. I have not had any issues with this game yet, aside from the multiplayer connection to the server, but the game is still new so it doesnt bother me. I suggest you pick this up if youre a fan of the series. There are even a few nods to the old games if you look hard enough...

The original Mass Effect trilogy is easily on my favorite top ten list of games ever (especially #2) so I've been looking forward to this game for years now. And when it came out with some of the negative buzz I was very surprised and sad. But I ofcourse still got it and played it to see for myself, and we're these bad reviews warranted? No, not all of them. Yes it has bad face animations in some parts of the game, the characters weren't as cool, and the story isn't amazing, but the rest of the game is beautiful and it be very hard for any story to surpass the original trilogies story. And this is why I think it got some bad reviews, nostalgia. Fans hyped this game up so much and the first ones were so great it was almost impossible to live up to people expectations for this game. People expected the best game ever, and it's not. But you know what, its super fun to play. The gameplay is so addicting and amazing (even better than the originals in some ways) and fighting is just amazing. You have so much freedom while fighting, you can dash and use your jet pack to fly, to which all these new additions make the combat amazingly fun. And it still has all the great exploration fans of this game come to expect (a true action RPG for completionists). And all the great dialogue and romancing that everyone loved about the others as well. So is this game better then the originals, no, but it definitely holds its own and is a joy just the be back in the mass effect universe. If they learn from this games mistakes while build upon what they did better, the next one will know doubt be the one everyone should be really excited for. Def give this game a try, its a great game, don't listen to the haters.

If you are a mass effect game than you will love this. Great graphics, ton of pliability and multiplayer. With the price reduction you cant go wrong.

I purchased this game for much cheaper than it was at release. I went into it having loved the previous Mass Effect games and for less than a ticket to a movie, I figured it would be worth at least two hours of laughter. I actually got a mediocre to decent sci-fi experience. The story is awful, let's just get that out of the way. The characters are one dimensional and goofy and the writing is some of the worst in a modern AAA game. This is why it has the scores it has. However, I was a big fan of the vision of terraforming/exploration the game had at its core and the game itself is visually appealing. The quests can be really fun or a confusing mess. The latter ones appear far too often and it's clear that the game lacks polish. So why four stars? The game is worth the four stars now that it's bargain basement priced. There are redeeming parts of the game and even a bit of real 'mass effect' fun amongst the rough outer layers. If you have time, give it a go. There are certainly better games to spend your money and time on, but if you crave sci-fi experiences the way I do, this is a solid entry for the price.

Graphics, gameplay, multiplayer. All categories are great on this game. Only problem is random glitches and funky facial animations. A game well worth the high price tags games have now though.

The original Mass Effect trilogy is easily holding a spot on my list of favorite games ever, and so far Andromeda is living up to my hopes and expectations. It's a new story with new characters, but it still retains enough of the feel of the original trilogy to have a nostalgic feel of familiarity. The new UI takes some getting used to just like any new game, and the gear/weapons R&D system is a little tedious as well. The combat is very well done. I feel my money was well spent and I'm happy to have it in my collection.

It's not a bad game. Sure the character animations are hilarious and there are a lot of other bugs but I feel like it doesn't take away from this being a good game. There is a lot to keep you busy and lots of story and the combat is pretty good. I've played the mp a little and don't find it as entertaining as ME3 mp. Maybe once I play it more it will grow on me. Overall I like this game and the problems aren't enough to keep me from playing.

It's more Mass Effect. Fans of sci fi stories will really enjoy it. Combat is vastly improved over the previous trilogy. But story is forgettable and it just doesn't do anything really new. For those that can't tell by the name, this games takes place in an entirely different galaxy. Which means ALL new star systems. Places no one else in the Milky Way has ever been to. So as a huge sci fi nerd, I was horribly disappointed with the lack of any new aliens. There are two new species total, and once you keep following the story, you realize that it's even more generic and boring than you originally thought. But still, the game is good. I love exploring the strange planets and finding things. And the combat is superb(the automatic cover system sucks though). The coop is also very fun and addicting, but not something I'd recommend the game for unless you have friends. Overall, I can recommend it to sci fi fans looking to explore things. If you're not a big sci fi fan and you're looking for a good story, skip it. Anywhere in the middle and I'll say wait for a sale, but you'll probably end up enjoying it either way.

A lot of people are complaining about the animation, and yes, it's not the best. But I've never played Mass Effect for that - and the story, combat, exploration and everything else is still there. If you love Mass Effect you'll enjoy this just fine, but it's not the best in the series.

Mass Effect: Andromeda is a good game, though it has its share of flaws. Mostly technical glitches and wonky animation. The games storyline is a little overambitious, with an abundance of side missions to distract you. The menu system could have used a bit more refinement, as I found myself constantly scrolling through pages and pages to find what I needed. That being said, it's very easy to lose yourself in the story, and is well worth a purchase. There's definitely enough to keep you busy for dozens of hours, and that's not including the multiplayer. Much like Mass Effect 3, the multiplayer is a wave-based mode, with various objectives to complete. As far as horde-style matches go, it's one of the best there is. The game allows you to purchase randomized upgrade packs with real world currency, but you can also earn them in game by completing matches. With the amount of content in the game, Mass Effect: Andromeda is well worth the price.

I played ME3 and it was a cool game but it was also time intensive and this one is too. However, it doesn't take away from the fact the game is fun to play and experience. I love the character customization. There is a little lag when walking into new areas at times but I do have it installed to an external so that could be the problem. It doesn't really bother me though. Good game for the price.

Mass effect Andromeda is a good entry back into the series. It looks fantastic and gameplay is spot on. But the bugs and glitches are enough to bother a lot of players. Bioware has put out a few patches and updates that make the gameplay a little more smoother but other users still report bugs and glitches. The story overall was good but nothing grand. Characters were also not memorable comparing to past mass effect games.

Fun game for fans of the series and first timers. I would give 5 stars but sometimes it glitches and they have not patched that yet but overall great story and great gameplay. If you love shooters and RPGs this is for you.

If you like exploring, then you'll enjoy this game. There are still many bugs in the game unfortunately, however Bioware is actively patching the game continuously for the near future. Still, it explores a new galaxy with a ton of areas to explore. What's fun is the side missions are of a greater variety with potentially huge impacts later in the story, rather than a million fetch quests like Dragon Age Inquisition, which was Bioware's last game. Still, the story takes a while to start moving - after nearly 10 years in game. I expect this will be anything from a 50-75+ hour experience, so you'll still get your money's worth if you put your time into it, but I recommend you buy it now and wait until it's a patched further if your finicky about those kind of things...

If you are a fan of the Mass Effect series and Bioware in general then you will love this game. The combat is much improved from the previous games. No more slow paced battles. The dialogue wheel and choices you may make no longer require you to be good or evil. Instead you can play the way you want. Graphically the game also looks very good. My only complaint is that the character creator is kinda bland. You need to experience the game for yourself and not listen to the negativity from people that haven't even played it. Trust Me.

It's a great game with tons to do, the combat is amazing and the graphics are beautiful. The face animations and voice acting can be funny and a bit weird at times. Other then that great game!

I've not played Mass Effect before this new title but I am very impressed. Beautiful graphics and great story line so far. Really like being able to play online with friends too.

I personally really liked this. The story wasn't up to the level I hoped (the two new alien races either instantly shoot at you or very quickly accept you and I thought there could have been more tensions in trying to get along as a visitor from a far-off world), but I still like most of the characters, the gameplay is a lot of fun, it's fun to role-play in this universe, and I personally haven't experienced the bugs that seem to crop up in a lot of gameplay footage. It doesn't feel like it has advanced as far as other series like the Witcher, but I still got absorbed into the world the same way I did with the prior games.
