I completed everything in the first game. It was better than I expected for such an old game.
I liked the story and the fact that I can make choices that at least matter in the short term. Some go into the other games also.

The gameplay was ok, but it could be better. Didn't really like how unimpactful the weapon hits were and the hp sponges the enemies were. The combat itself is ok and I like the abilities + the heat system.

I didn't like the planet missions with the Mako. It's just bothersome. I did more than half of the game without mods and then I discovered one to make the Mako easier to drive. Man, that would've saved me some time. Some side quests were quite repetitive and they just put you to do chores basically. Others were really good though with some nice story and actually interesting objectives.

For the first one I'd say it's a 7/10. Might come back with an update for the other 2 :D
