My main gripe with the game is the Tempest bridge overhead strobelight and the constant light flickering of the cluster map.

Fix that and have control over squadmate abilities and overall customization. Then I would be happy with it as it is.

I finished the game months ago but felt no intention to replay because i don't think what you do is clearly impacting the game. A couple people die but not significant amount impact on actions. I also did find the planets to be relatively empty. Mostly repeat enemies and creatures. Wouldn't a planet entirely have animals associated with the world. You don't see a gorilla walking the savannah desert. The biomes are entirely different. So that was sort of a let down. The eye tracking was some of the funniest but also creepiest I've ever seen. At least the OG Mass Effect games the eyes faced the person. I remember wondering if Dracks for how old he was, I wondered if he had poor eye sight and that is why he used a shotgun for close quarters. If Andromeda Galaxy got expanded I hope they add more creatures in the biomes. Dunes/deserts where things hide under the sand and ambush, the forests have packs of animals. Other stuff. The combat did feel a bit more jumpy. I jumped more than likely meant to be in a gunfight but meh it became way more fast paced.

But for me, I think Andromeda could be a little neat "filler" ME game without being directly linked with the events of the previous games. But I do hope that. But overall the glitches(still present) and the story felt

Not in defense of MEA or anything (which I thought was a given due to my previous posts) but the first mass effect had also many repeated enemies. But overall here is the most common enemy per game:

ME1: Geth

ME2: Collectors and Mercs

ME3 had great enemy variety albeit 60% were reaper creatures and the rest were Cereberus.

MEA: Kett and Remnant.

I will try to explain what I meant more. Also yes ME1 did have planets but they also felt pretty empty and the only enemies were basically the standard pirate/marauders, geth and husks. But the wild life of the planet felt like nothing mammal or avian existed.

I mainly meant the planets were only filled with the same enemies and creatures primarily. The enemies I can deal with all games have done that. But since this game is based off of sci-fi and we go to 5 planets, with entirely not the same climates, suns, and position of the planets, I would've expected to have seen more personality in life. The desert made sense for lacking of life. But the only thing I can say about Elaaden I enjoyed, was the tall high canyans and dunes, while having the giant Remnant "worm" thing in the distance burrowing into and hopping out of the sands. Other than that I can't remember anything unique about the other planets for

I will use an outlandish example I made up to hopefully make it simple. If a game took place in lets say Africa, the animals associated in Africa would be native to Africa, that is okay. But then when travelling a bit further East into lets say Iran, they are still visually, African animals, zebra's, African elephants, and lions. Which is strange, because the region doesn't have the same essentials for them to live in naturally. But then when going even further East into lets say China, we still have Zebra's, AFRICAN elephants not Asian ones, are exactly the same. Loses some of the magic if that makes sense. I hope that made sense to what I was meaning about repeating creatures specifically.

It didn't feel special to go to a planet that didn't have a unique fauna or flora. The flora was granted pretty well in getting an environmental feel, but the fauna wasn't. The world felt very lacking in "planetary personality" in my words. I like the Angarans did act differently with the planets, but overall the wild life was non existent is what I mean. I had a thought at the time which was "Did the Kett strip off the wild life as well?".

If every single planet had completly unique flora and fauna that would be nice and immersive and all but would for one make the game size quite a lot bigger beacuse of all those would have unique meshes, textures, animations etc.

Secondly it would push back the game release even further and make boss fights and the like feel less special and unique.

In the end that would be a lot of extra work that might cause problems either with game perfomance or financial.

Not really related to what you're talking about, but one of my biggest issues with Andromeda were the aliens, their models all look weird, especially Salarians and Turians, even looks Humans look kinda messed up, the only exception are the Angara and Kett but it's the first time they appear so them looking weird makes sense.

One of the biggest disappointments for me is we only get two alien species in MEA (three if you count the Remnant). And of those two, we get to really learn and interact with only one of them.
