You'll get your monies worth out of this game for sure.

No other MMO has scratched my particular itches like this one does. It has great combat mechanics, great looking environments, cool gathering and crafting mechanics, as well as cool dungeons and bosses.

Most of the negative things people have to say about this game aren't actually about the game, but the devs and how they run the game. Amazon Games Studios are flawed as a company and haven't handled running this game very well. Bugs get slipped through patches fairly often, QOL features are slow to be added, end game content is slow to be introduced, and the PvP scene has been neglected for some time.

However, you can play hundreds of hours without running into content issues. There is no sub, so you can buy the game and expansion and come back at any time.

yes good

Fantastic game, and worth it at full price.

I highly recommend having more than one character run through, because not only will you find new things you missed each time, your choices will change and have effects on different characters and stories.

Edit:

And with all the recent changes Larian have made, with mod support, new subclasses announced, new endings. The game just keeps adding value for your money.

Is frog. Is Detective. Is good. 9/10

Great game. If you like FMV's, you'll love this. If you don't like them normally, give this one a shot! It may surprise you.

I personally was astounded by the sheer amount of footage and branching paths that were available. Make sure to watch some of the behind the scenes on tinyBuilds youtube to get some understanding of the scale of this game.

Pros:
- Fully customisable difficulty.
- Well written story
- Great acting from everyone filmed
- The parody advertisements are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hilarious. Make sure to watch them after every level!

Cons:
- Some of the story paths convey the plot information less effectively. Minor nitpick really.
- Had a few crashes in my playthrough

8/10

dark souls but large 9/10

6/10, it's ok. Get it when its cheap.

I didn't get it on launch, so this is after the animation and bug fixes.

Gameplay 9/10
Story 4/10
Characters 6/10

The gameplay itself is fun and varied. The ability to swap between classes and build your own hybrid class means you aren't pigeonholed into a class like you were in previous games. It also allows you to try out new classes and weapons easily, which is great.

The changes to the dialogue system are a good step forward too. No more good/evil binary choices, you're instead given the option of a "tone" to base your character off. You can be Emotional, Logical, Casual, and Professional. Unfortunately the game doesn't utilise this in an amazingly interesting way, just some comments about being "too casual" or "very emotional" if you lean too hard in one direction, but at least there's an attempt to break the previous games morality system.

Unfortunately that's where the good stuff ends. The narrative and characters leave much to be desired. The premise of the bad guys is fantastically boring. Big evil guys have the ability to take over your mind and turn your own soldiers against you. They want control for controls sake. Sound familiar?

The new friendly alien race are similarly boring. Bioware had an opportunity to make a new interesting species in Andromeda, but we end up with "attractive humanoids who you want to bang" how are "super empathetic". They're simply not interesting enough to read about their lore or their abilities.

This could be forgiven if the supporting characters were good (ME2 anyone?) however that's not the case. Very few of them have engaging stories or personalities. Pee Bee is the most obnoxious, but no one else on the ship has anything redeeming. Cora is boring, Liam deserves janitorial duty for being such a hothead, Vetra is also boring. The only interesting Character is Drack, and only because he's written like Wrex was a thousand years old.

Overall, I'd say this is worth playing if you get it for cheap, or are a die hard fan of the universe, but otherwise there isn't much here.

It's a great game. If you loved the first game, you'll love this one too.

Pros:
- Great visual style and aesthetic. Keeps the style of the original while still making the graphics look good
- Writing and voice acting are still great. They kept the same voice actors from the original game
- The levels are varied and interesting
- Music is good

Cons:
- Levels can drag on a little, especially if you're hunting the collectables
- The game design is VERY similar to the first. Not all aspects of that design have aged well over the years. Though if you liked the first game, you can enjoy the design of this one. It can be clunky at times, but it's still better than the first game.

One of my favourite games. This game has stuck with me in my mind longer than most other games I've played. While other games had a larger impact on finishing it, this one has quietly festered in my mind, making me constantly think about it. 9/10 game.

Pros:
- Amazing voice acting
- Amazing writing
- Amazing characters
- Excellent music and tone setting
- The setting and world building is very unique, even if it's a little overwhelming at first.
- It's a forgiving game, until it isn't. The game encourages you to go out of the box and do silly things, but failure and its consequences are often as interesting (if not more interesting) than succeeding. Failure will still often progress the story.
- You can be a communist cop who is also an entrepreneurial money maker.
- You can punch a crack addicted child

Cons
- Possible to get softlocked in some places, requiring to go back to an older save if you messed up. This is pretty hard to do though.
- I wanted a little more of an "epilogue" to the ending, but that's just a personal preference.


If you liked games like Planescape: Torment, or Baldurs Gate, this game is for you.

For about $50 you get 6 full AAA quality games. If you get this on sale, it's even better value for money.
