    Presentation/Availability: Product was well packaged with no broken/opened box. There were many available at the store. Performance/Gameplay: My review is for the PS4. If you like third-person shooter games, then you will definitely like this game. You don’t need experience in previous Mass Effect games to play Mass Effect: Andromeda. I like the weapons and accessories. Image resolution (gameplay and theatrical) is very good and the sound is good as well. Online playing is a 4-players team, is fast-paced and I love it!!!! I really recommend you use a good headset with this game if you want to hear every tiny sound on the game, especially when playing online. If you are not too serious about online playing, don’t go for the Deluxe Edition of the game, since those extra features (and extra money) are for online playing. Customer service: Very good customer service. I was greeted by an employee as soon as I walked through the door.

    "Gamers" Are Wrong

    After putting in nearly 50 hours, I can solidly say that "gamers" have got this one all wrong. This game is not a zero or even a five out of ten. The hyperbole and angle that these "gamers" have tried to make popular do not actually represent the product: the Metacritic critic review score aggregate is far more accurate. It's a solid game universe with solid combat mechanics, and contains many enjoyable aspects from colonization to quests to loyalty missions with 1000s of lines of dialogue that range from cheesy to college humor. The characters grow on you, and there's a silver lining to the cheeseball humor in that it surprises you with little blurbs of character between squadmates YOU pick to take into the field with you! It has its shares of technical foibles, one cannot deny that, but barring the technical shortcomings and glitches, what's underneath has a big heart, one that "gamers" cannot appreciate behind their agenda.

    This game has some tech, animation issues and at times bad writing. It does have very fun gameplay, a decent story and a few good characters. it could have been better but I enjoyed the 50 hours I put into it.

    You'll enjoy this one as well. Graphics are polished. Storyline isn't bad. Found a few glitches.nothing worth being upset over since the patches. Some of the planet probes are tedious just as the past installments were but all in all, a good game.

    If you like the Mass Effect series, you will like Andromeda. The story and characters are still great. Combat is roughly the same. The facial animations could definitely use some work but overall the game satisfies if you are into the action RPG genre.

    This game has been beaten to death by the fans and creators at this point. I haven't even played this game yet and the whole world is screaming to me about its negatives. I am willing to give this game a real try in the future without all the noise but for now I hold on to the hope that this game has at least some heart in it and is not just some meme generator.

    Coming from the other Mass Effects, this was definitely disappointing, however, it is not terrible as many would have you believe. Exploring is enjoyable, although there is not much to do while just cruising around. Story is so-so, good enough to pull me along to the end. Game-play is great, a big step-up (in my opinion) from the previous games, shooting and movement are very fluid and feel great. EA and Bioware have said there will be no story-based DLC. This definitely knocked it down a few points as the story is left at a point where you will want to go find out more. Now we'll have to hope they make another Mass Effect or the story will never be finished.

    I had some mixed feelings about this game's announcement. I liked the first one, the second one I liked a bit more, then the third one left me...well, a bit disappointed. The story is captivating, if not a bit too 'standard sci-fi' at times, and I was skeptical that the developers could simultaneously do the prior games justice and add enhancement to them. I was, for a good portion, wrong. The game picked up the pace and provided more than just the 'cover based tactical shooter' stalemate that the other games could become. It's faster paced. The story is still deep and has corners of the galaxy you can explore if the time spent suits you - and it should. For the most part, it's a good pick-up for the experience. Maybe not for everyone, but it's entertaining and action-packed: with grains of salt that can be taken with ease.

    The game is fun, the updates the combat are amazing and the large scale of the planets is great. Not too big not too small a great balance. There's some animation and clipping issues but with he large scale size compared to previous games, it's fine and I ignore it. Patchable and easily fixed in time. I love how the multiplayer is almost the same as the previous installment but with a lot more starting characters than before. Still fun and enjoyable.

    An Underrated Game

    This game has gotten a lot of negative reviews by media and on Metacritic, which is a shame because this is a really good game, for today's standards. The game has a deep single player campaign that can last you for well over 50 hours, with a diverse set of missions. It has a fun co-op mode with great replay value. Sometimes hard to find these days. Yes, the game has some rough edges, particularly around animation and sometimes sound consistency, but then again it's probably on par for what a Bioware game would have, or similar open world games like Fallout / Skyrim. It's not perfect, but it's great value if you love deep campaigns and fun co-op, and I'm afraid many people will be steered away in error due to some cosmetic reasons.

    As a fan of the Mass Effect series, I was not disappointed with this installment. I love the scale and epic feel of adventure that Mass Effect gives the player. The graphics are slightly improved, but its more noticeable in the environments than in the character models. The amount of choices and decisions the player has to make are just as deep, and the variety of characters is good. Not great, but good. Since this installment takes place in a very different location, I expected to see new and more interesting character, but it was just a bit more of the same. There are new elements that keep the action and story going well enough, and I think it is a great entry for new players to the Mass Effect universe. Definitely worth playing.

    As bad as the reviews may seem in the gaming press, this game fulfills all my needs for a Mass Effect game. There are some rough edges but combat is better than its ever been and the story is still good enough.
