" ... All I can say is that I've played the other Mass Effect games and this one is just as good. ... Great game and definitely worth playing. ... "
" ... For what I paid for the game it was a good game. ... "
" ... Way better than I expected based on the response to the game. ... (To be clear, I had no issues playing, but I didn't like having to install Origin just so I could play one game. ... "
" ... The combat is fluid and the graphics as related to vehicles, settings, and such look quite nice. ... When things started going rough, BioWare and EA (well, EA's decision most likely) basically dropped the game. ... In a game purchased for the single player experience, they only continued to support the multiplayer. ... If you buy the game, don't expect any further updates, let alone story-driven DLC. ... If you go into the game knowing these things, you'll likely enjoy it as I did. ... "
" ... I put about 100 hours or so into the PS4 version of this game that I got shortly after launch, and wanted to get the PC version more recently for better pretty much everything. ... I just started modding the game as well, and it's so much better with the mods! ... Sure they could have polished things more, added to things, and restructured some of the story-lines, but it's not a bad game. ... "
" ... I got this to compare against my Xbox One and PS4. ... The feel is the same as on the Xbox One. ... "
" ... Good: combat, action animations, world/armor/weapon graphics, amount of weapons. ... "
" ... Feels like you are in story and a future sci-fi game! ... "

" ... I want them all to die. ... I may give it another shot later, but not right now. ... "
" ... I experienced multiple gamebreaking bugs within the first 5 hours of singleplayer and haven't touched it since. ... "
" ... Horrible game with great potential,unfortunately this game is rigged with unfixed bugs months after release.horrible animations,a story that hardly makes any sense and a Multiplayer that is infested with micro transactions ... "
" ... The graphics have devolved drastically even from prior years, the gameplay is buggy, and the story isn't nearly as engaging as the originals, but it does hit that nostalgia button. ... "
" ... Four months later , It's still kicking my ass and taking names . ... "
" ... It's been out long enough the bugs should have been fixed. ... "
" ... It sucks that we waited with such anticipation for years, and this is the product they produced. ... "
" ... I've tried another PC and still keeps happening. ... I've tried working with this game for over a month now and it keeps crashing like crazy!!! ... "

" ... I think a lot of Mass Effect fans feel the same way. ... "
" ... Worthy successor to the Mass Effect world. ... "
" ... It looks like under developping level. ... "
" ... The diversity and scenery of the explorable planets are really something amazing. ... They are planned out and look hand crafted. ... "
" ... (Why do aliens get the cool lines?) ... "
" ... So far, the only aliens that you encounter in Andromeda are very human-like, both in terms of appearance and the way they interact with others. ... "
" ... The graphic designers, world designers, texture artists and effects artists put an incredible amount of work into bringing these worlds to life, and it has paid off in ways anyone would be hard-pressed to beat. ... "
" ... Other than the faces, the game really looks amazing. ... "

" ... Great game, fun ... "
" ... This game does a decent job and it's a lot of fun. ... "
" ... The game is great / tons of fun whole kind of thing. ... "
" ... That said, the game is fun. ... "
" ... Overall, tons of fun. ... "
" ... But its still pretty fun. ... "
" ... The worlds are beautifuly done and in addition to the primary quests there are a great deal of side-quests that are actually great fun and make sense in the context of the entire story. ... "

" ... Then you can add in all the bugs, glitches, and animation issues the game had that have been well documented. ... "
" ... My only gripe - I hate that it's only available as download. ... "
" ... There are issues with the cloud ( failure to connect ) and will not play and save locally. ... "
" ... Bug Bugs everywhere they are still patching it ... "
" ... I have a 64bit win 7, the game maybe 32bit, at least some of the libraries it installed are. ... "
" ... I've tried installing in on a seperate HDD that has Win 10 instead of my main Win 7 HDD and it still keeps crashing. ... "
" ... I wanted to give this game at least a 2 but the buggy download and install was simply unacceptable. ... Because of not having physical media I experienced outrageously unacceptable download times. ... °The mining interface on the Nomad needs a serious overhaul. ... OS: Windows 10 Professional 64bit ... "
" ... 1) If you hit M to view your map, you can't hit M again to get right back into the game, you have to hit ESC to go back to the menu and then ESC again to get back to the game. ... "

" ... NOT HAPPY also the plastic case it came in was broken. ... "
" ... I want to watch the rest of the story unfold. ... "
" ... It feels like a C-grade rip-off at the worst, with stilted dialog, terrible pacing issues, and a plot that tried but doesn't make it. ... "
" ... The stakes in this game do not feel particularly high, when in ME 3 there was a palpable feeling that a poor decision could make a huge difference in the war effort. ... "
" ... Much like the beginnings of Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 you get dropped into a situation that is unexpected and within a couple of minutes all hell breaks loose. ... °There are times when you must be standing right on top of a character to initiate conversation because the ‘trigger’ is broken. ... There are way too many parts of it that are broken, seriously broken. ... "
" ... Your character break dances up and down stairways. ... "
" ... You are not allowed to be a hard case or take anything seriously. ... "
" ... What a waste of plastic. ... "

" ... I'm not against plot, but there's so much clunky moving around from place to place, and subplots and missions that feel tedious. ... "
" ... However, it is a sore disappointment. ... It feels like a C-grade rip-off at the worst, with stilted dialog, terrible pacing issues, and a plot that tried but doesn't make it. ... "
" ... I feel betrayed . ... "
" ... Your legs have a mind of their own in conversations, like having a seizure. ... "
" ... Not to mention they put a scanner on your arm too. ... "
" ... The developers politics are heavy handed, hamfisted, unrelenting to the point that it is likely to put off everyone. ... Heavy handed politics ... "
" ... Once I get the combat down and get better at moving they are just there as a distraction anyhow. ... "
" ... It's much more of a slow grind now, with the result that the story almost starts to feel like a mechanism for moving things along rather than the point of the game. ... "

" ... There should not have been so many launch glitches. ... "
" ... Braving new frontiers and starting over in a new galaxy. ... "
" ... So, the ONLY WAY YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY IS TO GO ON YOUTUBE AND SEE HOW THEY DID IT. ... "
" ... You still have to download the game from the internet and then enter the activation code to run it. ... "
" ... Skills are also plentiful, but I'm not a fan of this new open-class system where you can switch to any new skill on-the-fly. ... "
" ... * navigation system, compass, nav points, waypoints (easy to get around) ... * character creation tools (lots of options) ... * galaxy map is good looking and fun to use ... "
" ... As you collect resources or unlock achievements, you can research improvements. ... "
" ... It's in the description that this is a download! ... "

" ... For the price I paid, this was a great deal. ... "
" ... the Architects were from hell to beat. ... "
" ... I got it for $15, was worth that at least. ... "
" ... This game is worth it so long as "it" is only 30 dollars. ... It is enjoyable enough, but I would not be able to justify full price of 60 dollars or any DLC for it. ... "
" ... But I saved several dollars by doing it. ... "

" ... This is utter garbage. ... "
" ... Doesn't even come close to the original trilogy. ... "
" ... Just replay the original trilogy and ignore this. ... "
" ... They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and I guess that applies here. ... I don't fault Amazon for this. ... Then there is the whole “truth in advertising” argument. ... ," which gives the lie to all of the stuff they said previously. ... "
" ... Not the end of the world, for sure, but Amazon is guilty of false advertising. ... "

" ... I played most of the game at the normal level, but switched to narrative (easy) to dispatch the Architects. ... "
" ... You can learn a lot and you're not restricted in learning anything, but you are in using them. ... "
