Gets better and better as you play. Lots of different worlds which all look great. A good roster of characters who get fleshed out nicely as you spend time with them/do their missions, and good combat helped by the choice of abilities.
It starts slow but once you're off Eos and seeing the other worlds it gets much better I assure you.
For me, if the original trilogy were the Star Wars original movies, Andromeda is The Phantom Menace.
The worlds and environments are brilliant, but the story and characters just seem to pale in comparison. I've rounded out my crew and am on the ice planet now, so a little bit in. It has gotten better than the initial bit. Still not fond at all of space Sudoku, nor the elimination of the Paragon/Renegade interaction model. While I understand they didn't like the fact it sort of pigeonholed you, I do miss the ability to be an absolute [Poor language removed] to an NPC who deserves it.
And multiplayer is a nightmare.
I enjoyed it on ME3, 15-20 minute cycles of unrelenting violence is a nice form of digital therapy. Really enjoy with ME:A ... when it works. Up to 26 blue screens reported on my ps4 now. Twenty Six. And that's just me. I'd honestly say it's maybe 2 matches in 10 that go start to finish without me or someone else getting dumped. And these are runs going smoothly, so not a case of 1-2 players ragequitting, they just drop out. Presumably to their own blues.
It's a good game, but the problem is it's a Mass Effect game. NSNO or whatever.
