I've only ever enjoyed talking to aliens in this game, and my actual player character, Sara Ryder, is quite cringeworthy. Interactions in this game fall flat on their bad faces.

Immersion interruption: Andromeda's terrible faces and beautiful places So Bioware crafted a game that's both casualized in terms of dialing back many of the features, content, and basic functionality found in the original games, but also kept in the niche-style engagement with dialogs, backstories, side quests, etc. Yes, the progression is less defined and more broadened, but the dialog-heavy experience is still there. Here's the weird part: Mass Effect: Andromeda features quite a bit of talking and RPG-style progression.

As I predicted way back in my 'Why I'm worried about ME: Andromeda' opinion piece, this is a heavily casualized Mass Effect meant to penetrate the mainstream market and be more accessible than the other games.

The environments are absolutely incredible and breathtaking in their visual fidelity and sci-fi feel-the Nexus' on-ship habitats are amazing, and deep-space exploration looks great.īut for every step taken forward by the game's graphics, it takes two steps back in terms of UI and basic features. Mass Effect: Andromeda should've been delayed.
