Fun little 3D escape room simulator. Pretty easy but fun enough and not too long.
Mediocre shooter game that looks good but lacks any depth to gameplay or plot.
This review contains spoilers
Mass Effect: Andromeda should be a great game. But it isn't. It is good but not the updated version of the Mass Effect trilogy it should.
The plot is a worse version of the original trilogy with a super-smart precursor species, an external aggressor species, and a bunch of current species figuring out what to do. Except in Andromeda they all lack the background and lore needed to flesh them out, not to mention that the "current" species as I called them are the same ones from the Milky Way. This game removes all the nuances from the lore and reduces it down to tropes about the various peoples and species, there's no politics, there's no consideration for right and wrong. In the original trilogy we get a study on AI and what it means to be alive, in Andromeda we get "new people are bad until they help us". And this sort of comparison, where Andromeda fails to live up to the originals, happens all throughout the game.
Gameplay mechanics are completely ported over from the original trilogy, so while fun they are nothing new. The maps and planets feel empty and boring, although they look great.
This game does scratch the Mass Effect itch and is a okay game but I'd recommended replaying the originals over this.
