Mass Effect Andromeda has a great base story and characters. The graphics are stunning and the music is epic. The main layout and design is typical Bioware/Mass Effext.
The idea of a pathfinder gives Bioware an option to build sequels as they did with the original trilogy.
I really like this game a lot. I do. And I play it from time to time. Like right now.
There is one thing I think is overdone, and that is the departure and arrival cutscenes showing the Tempest. Too much time is spend on these. These scenes are really nice designed and the Tempest is a beautiful vessel. But, well, how shall I put it? It feels as the entire game is an advertisement for the Tempest, so to speak. It tend to get boring looking at these cutscenes over and over again. Every time you travel you see them. Maybe short versions could have been used to avoid the feeling of repetition? I tend to become annoyed having to watch them so often.
But again, in my worl Andromeda is definetely a Mass Effect game. I compare it with the very first Mass Effect. It feels like ME Andromeda is the first part of a trilogy designed in the same way:
You travel from world to world while you are introduced to characters, races and technology. The story gets more and more complicated but also more interesting. There are some really nice personal interactions and stories. Very touching as well. You have the romance options as before and influence on the outcome of every ingredient.
I could imagine a reunion with the characters in a sequel would have a similar effect as the in the first trilogy.
The Tempest cut scenes are annoying, but they are the loading screen so I doubt much could be done. It's also why you can't fast forward through them.
I would agree MEA is most like the original for the reasons you stated and I believe the developers mentioned at some point they wanted to go back to exploration but fix all the issues from the original (i.e. the aggravating landscape transversing with the Mako). I would also say MEA suffered from an issue of the original in that all the buildings you came across felt much the same; I'd like to see more diversity in that, plus more large settlements.
For the most part I wasn't big on the characters, but a lot of that has to do with the hellish development. I wouldn't mind seeing them back but they definitely need to be enhanced.
I really wish EA had ignored the tantrum throwers and put out more DLC; even one more planet to explore would have been nice. Hopefully there will be a sequel that adds to Heleus.
