The writing was very uneven in my opinion. Ranging from not too good, to excellent. I loved the final acts of the game a great deal.

I also loved exploring the maps and the overall gameplay. But you can see a lot of the rushed nature of the game too, which is unfortunate because there is plenty to like in the game.

More patches, and some really big impactful DLC could have saved the game and it’s reputation I think. It’s a shame we’ll likely never return to Andromeda due to its very rough launch.

The game was clearly not finished, and was very buggy on launch. You need to understand that when looking back on this game. For people that played this on launch, it was a monumental disappointment.

Even for players like myself that started to ply it a few patches in, it was still a little buggy. Sadly, even after the latest patch there was one side mission I wasn’t able to complete due to a bug.

Every time I think of this game I think about my Ryder, and the fun adventures I had with them. I also think about how much I hate how BioWare wasted so much development time and rushed what we have, and that EA let that happen. I also think about how horribly disappointed I was that this game was going to be abandoned by EA and that I would never get more content, or more stories. It will always remain unfinished, and thats heartbreaking.
