To me, the sheer size and grand scale of this game alone makes it great. I can't remember a game this massive feeling. To each is own though. 🙂
Dragon Age Inquisition is similar, also EA/Bioware, and came out earlier. I think that a lot of the grief MEA got was due to the fact that many people had played ME3 and DAI and felt that EA/Bioware had demonstrated higher capabilities in these three games than they displayed in MEA. I personally like all three games (except ME3's ending, with no worthwhile choices), but if the devs wanted to go back and implement a more DAI-style open world experience I wouldn't shed any tears.
