Overall, not a bad game. But hard sale for anyone not already a fan of the mass effect franchise.

However even after the years since release, the facial animations are still distracting, the dialogue boring, the morality irrelevant and the heros journey feels empty. It felt like nothing mattered, partly because the morality and campaign impacts that made ME great was gone.

I preordered mass effect Andromeda as I was such a fan of ME trilogy, I believed that we were on the precipice of another incredible installment. 1 hour into game play I shelved it in 2017, and never touched it until June of 2025. I just completed it and while it isn't as buggy and horrible as it initially was on release (I had it on console) I still don't think I can recommend this game.

The dialogue is just really weak at times from companions. The voice acting from certain interactions is really flat. And the eye movement of characters really takes you out of the immersion of the game.

What did they improve upon? Not an insane amount. The graphics and visuals were really all I felt were nice. Combat was downgraded imo as you go from 8ish powers to 3 hot key powers. You can switch "classes" but it's a hassle and not engaging. I enjoyed the new powers and the cover system a little more but it still had issues.

The environment is incredible and I think ME5 will have an even better polish to it. If bioware retains the space environment visuals and some of the innovative powers with the older trilogy combat power wheel, and binary morality (or at least a morality that impacts and has consequences) then it can be another great game.

Hope they make a second one.

It's okay, 5/10. Vetra makes it a 6 though

The game is ok, I don't get all the negative votes.

great game fun to play and pass some time

Spent 2 hours curating resources to research and develop some armour. After developing the armour the game told me it was in my inventory however, after going in and out of the locker and the inventory tab it was not to be found. After reloading a save this issue still continued to persist of developed armour not going into my inventory. Apparently after researching it is a bug that has been present in the game since launch for some players. Not very good.

Story gets way more hate than it deserves. It is at best only loosely connected to the actions that take place in Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3. Good combat and runs bug free.

8/10

Good game still has a few bugs but its nice that it is on steam and it works pretty well.

Its a thinkers shooter. Stratgie is the base and most of it takes time to get through it ! I liked the mixture of game play.
