Mass Effect: Andromeda, a good game despite itself.

Mass Effect: Andromeda is a Very Good game in this reviewer's opinion, bordering on Great as an overall experience. You get a cool starship, the combat system is fun, exploration is enjoyable as you tool around the frankly gorgeous Heleus cluster. The worlds are designed to look epic, the combat system is fun as hell and the characters are engaging. If you've played a Mass Effect game and enjoyed it, chances are good you're going to have a fun time with Andromeda.

Having said all that, it it important to note that as of the time of this writing (March 31, 2017) the game has some glitches. Quite a few in fact. Doors don't always open, sometimes Pee Bee's room on the tempest is a black void that takes a moment to populate with the proper setting, and if you don't wait and step inside you fall into the void of space, etc. The glitches aren't bad enough to make me swear a blood oath of vengeance against EA and Bioware, but the ratio seems to be for every three enjoyable things that the game has to offer there will be one glitch to ruin the immersion. Hopefully this gets resolved as time goes by.

Overall Mass Effect: Andromeda is an enjoyable gaming experience that does have its moments of frustration. I give it a solid 4 out 5 stars, with the glitches and snags keeping it from the full 5.
