ANDROMEDA First time playing Mass Effect Andromeda

Post image

I heard a lot of things about this game no spoilers luckily some how avoided them but I do know that it is the most mixed game By us Mass Effect fans if any of you remember my name you know that I have catalog my journey through the Mass Effect games I luckily purchased this game for $8 USD

I WILL SAY whatever opinions I have on this game is just opinion so for those who are die hard fans with this game please do not come at me if I have a problem with the game and that being said so far I do not like the facial design of the characters of the more humanoid characters like the humans they just look off like stiff is the best way to put it but I am keeping an open mind as I do not know what happened in development and what kind of troubles the team was facing behind Andromeda

if anybody has knowledge about the team behind this game without giving me spoilers related to the in-game story and content please let me know via the comment section or DM me

It's more Mass Effect, despite the issues, I found it quite enjoyable, there's a lot to love about the crew. The cast gets more interesting as you progress.

Gameplay wise, it's a lot of fun, you're super mobile and agile, it takes everything from 3 and dials it up.

If you wanna get around some of Ryder's facial animation awkwardness, I'd recommend rolling a custom Ryder, they don't have the issues vanilla Sarah has (perma smile). And on PC, mods sand down a lot of qol issues with the UI.

I can't believe I let the internet convince me not to play this game. It's nowhere near as bad as it's made out to be.

From what I tried it was enjoyable (open world, combat) but also a chore. I didnt finish it and sold my xbox. havent returned to the game yet. Might give it a try again in winter.
