The story in "Mass Effect: Andromeda" is a mixed bag, with many players noting that it feels padded with repetitive side quests and lacks the depth and engagement of the original trilogy. While some missions and character arcs are compelling, the overall narrative is often criticized for being predictable and uninspired, with many characters feeling underdeveloped. Despite these shortcomings, the game offers a vast universe to explore, and some players appreciate the emotional moments and potential for future storylines.
“The richness and depth of the story, the character development, and the sense of 'this is important...' contributed to a deep and satisfying emotional experience as well as a fun 'bang-bang-shoot-em-up' thrill ride.”
“The story becomes bigger and bigger, and especially once you start terraforming your first planet by 'rebooting' it, you will get a feeling of where this story is heading to.”
“A welcome return to Bioware’s space opera, introducing great characters, an interesting story, and some fantastic designs, always providing things to do.”
“The problem is that there's just so much filler; it's hard to follow the already very lackluster main story.”
“Way too many quests play out like 'talk to character A' -> 'visit planet site 1' -> return to ship to check email -> 'talk to character B' -> visit planet site 2 -> return to ship to check email -> 'return to talk to character A', etc., which gets extremely repetitive and tedious with zero discernible impact on the story.”
“The story itself, while lacking the depth of any of the first three, is at least interesting enough to keep me playing.”
Mass Effect Andromeda Review - PS4
Andromeda’s first adventure is plagued by frustrations. But memorable characters, a satisfying story, and deep RPG systems ultimately win the day.
80%As vast and empty as space itself
Padded to twice as long as it needs to be, littered with meaningless missions and weak dialogue, Mass Effect: Andromeda takes a galaxy’s worth of potential and squanders it.
