Uh oh...

The first few hours of Andromeda are a gruesome trudge through the most trite bilge of the previous three games, smeared out in a setting that’s horribly familiar, burdened with some outstandingly awful writing, buried beneath a UI that appears to have been designed to infuriate in every possible way.

Just read that. John Walker always has a good take on new games. He definitely raises some legit concerns.

I read a ton of video game coverage and I've never heard of that site.

It's PC-focused, so might not be on a console gamer's radar, but it's a pretty well known and regarded site.

Nope. I liked the footage from the older games that I've seen, it looks like a good franchise. But it also looks like Andromeda is a significant departure in size and scope?

I haven't really read or watched any coverage of ME:A. The idea of another vast open world after playing through Horizon and then Zelda gives me a headache. I'll get to it this summer or fall if people enjoy it. I loved 2 and 3.

It's a very solid site and they do talk about console games from time to time. Very well written and consistent material.

Oh damn I've heard great praise about that game. Persona 4 was so good. Such a unique game. Nothing like it.
