Have been playing about 20 hours now and can honestly say people are mostly freaking out over nothing. The crew is fine, the story is fine, the combat is fun. There are some wonky animations and some polish issues. A solid 8.5/10. It's not Bioware's best or worst game. That is all.

True, this game is way better than their Sonic game. 2nd worst (non-expansion) game still isn't a great distinction though.

Actually, it's better than ME1 & DA2, and their "worst" game I've played is still like an 8/10 which is better than 90% of other games out there.

Yeah, I could do with a better CC and without that planet scanning. And sometimes I keenly miss Shepard, but overall? It really isn't as bad as people claim. It's not ME4, but it's a fun game nonetheless. There are no other games like this - none where you have squadmates who stick around and go on adventures with you. Witcher 3 and HZN look great and deliver a good story, but after playing Bioware games I don't enjoy running around all by myself anymore, no matter how awesome my character is. If you like the banter, the JRPG Tales series (Berseria being the latest) - has tons of it. Probably more dialogue with people in your party in that game than in Andromeda, and that's saying something.

Actually, it's better than ME1 & DA2, and their "worst" game I've played is still like an 8/10 which is better than 90% of other games out there. My thoughts exactly. MEA does lean on DAI heavily but they've fixed many of the DAI issues - like the pointless animation when harvesting, or opening boxes, and the cinematic camera they've added for the non-cutscene dialogue. Quite frankly I also think the animations look fine. They're no worse than ME3 - The main reason they look worse will be the higher definition which tends to give the dead-eyed look. I've only just got onto the Tempest, and I'm looking forward to taking her for a spin! The Haters are the same kind of people who can only post either a 0 or a 10 on metacritic. MEA is not gaming nirvana but neither is it ET for the Atari 2600
