I’m not going to pretend that it’s as good as the original trilogy, which I understand probably led to disappointment for some people, but I thoroughly enjoyed Andromeda from start to finish. The Kett were an interesting enemy to face (though the archon himself was somewhat boring). The gunplay was, in my opinion, the best of the series. The Story, while it has pacing issues, and too little player influence, was enjoyable. This is in addition to featuring a generally likeable cast, with the worst new additions being boring rather than outright bad. I’m not saying there aren’t legitimate Criticisms. The launch was buggy, some of the planets are a bit empty, the anagarans aren’t that interesting a new race, and the story can be slow at times as I previously said. These However, were not the complaints that I saw at launch. Most of them for example had no real basis in the game. for example those who said there was too much SJW stuff in the game. There was little to none, despite one of the developers being, admittedly, an asshole SJW. The other complaints blew things way out of proportion, like the facial animations, with many videos being published by you tubers about one specific scenes, but ignoring the fact that for the most part they animation was at least tolerable. Within a few patches, the problems that were there were mostly fixed. Many of these complaints appear to have been so off base, that I suspect that many of the complainers hadn’t even played the game. I’m writing this now, firstly because the hate train has long subsided allowing for better discussion, and secondly because I’ve seen others express similar opinions here, so I’m wondering how many people agree. I for one I’m sad that there will be no DLC, and hope that EA gives bioware more resources to polish the sequel (if it ever comes) so that the series doesn’t get even more unfounded backlash. TL;DR [spoiler]Mass effect Andromeda was nowhere near as bad as people said. While it has its flaws, it is overall an enjoyable experience, so people should give it a chance.[/spoiler]
