Y'know, a lot of people really hate on Mass Effect Andromeda. Some have good reasons, but personally I really enjoy this game, and I'll tell you some of my pro's and con's for it:

Cons:
- You feel very shoe-horned in to certain decisions, regardless of what you want to pick
- Not nearly as much personal choice of "alignment" as in previous Mass Effect titles. You're stuck as a kind of snarky good guy/gal
- Crafting system can get pretty annoying at times
- Hot dang there's a lot of fetch/collecting quests

Pros:
- Extremely fun combat and useful abilities
- The side dialogue between your companions occasionally had me actually laughing out loud
- Definitely still has that old Mass Effect feel, but at the same time distances itself from the military and Commander Shepard feel
- While some animations are definitely still lacking, the game as a whole is very beautiful, and I think they did a terrific job on the graphics and general world enviroments in the game.
- Found myself actually cycling through my companions that I took on missions, as some I thought would be more useful or hold more insight, rather than some of the older Mass Effect entries, where I pretty much just stuck to two or three companions the entire time no matter what.
- Actually fun multiplayer and decent multiplayer progression, revolving around a sort of randomized item system instead of being able to directly buy the best guns and gear

Overall, I can definitely see some of the complaints people make, but I believe the games pros way outweigh them. I give it a solid 8/10.
