sorted byLike, yea, I'd agree the game fails to live up to the general drama and heights of the original trilogy in many ways, which I think was always gonna be inevitable without at least giving Andromeda its own trilogy of time for people to get more invested in things, but it also does a lot of things really well. I'd definitely say it was the height of the series' combat, it brought back at least some semblance of exploration lost after ME1, sense of progression was done well, and overall, the visuals were pretty great.
I'd also say many of the criticisms were a bit strange to me, and perhaps highlighted a false remembering of what the original games(or any Bioware game, really) were like. Complaining about some stilted dialogue, or occasional bad facial animations and occasional jank in general - like, these were all hallmarks of Bioware games in the past. This was kind of beginning of the transformation of gamers' standards being elevated to unrealistic levels, where games had to DO IT ALL and do it all well. People wanted a large RPG with top notch motion capture on the same level as the best smaller linear games, even though there was like 25x as many lines of dialogue all considered. There's a reason Bioware went with a more procedural system at the time. Tech has gotten much better for this since, but back then, doing TLOU-quality motion capture for all voice lines of a huge game with so much dialogue was unrealistic for all but the largest(and richest) studios like Rockstar.
Definitely got way more hate than it deserved. Biggest downsides for me were the lack of new 'alienness' after going to a whole new galaxy where things didn't really feel much different to before and without enough new enemy types. The story also lacked the intrigue and mystery from the first game, so even with another two games, I think the core story appeal wasn't quite strong enough. And the new cast just wasn't as endearing as ME1's was.
I made my own character instead of the standard male Ryder protagonist
Yes, it was very bad at launch but after a few patches it’s a decent game and we’ll worth a punt at this price. Just manage your expectations as it’s no Shepard.
Can't say it's bad for £5 but honestly not a dent on the trilogy. Definitely get and play those first, then temper your expectations if you want to play this.
