@Agramonte I wish I could say the same but the large gaps of story beats and lack of character depth was really lacking early on in the game. Hoping Vengeance does tackle this a bit.
5 or 6/10. The relationship stuff felt a little pushed in and unauthentic (people don't have to go for that option though if you don't want to which is crazy that this blew up. Mass Effect did years ago and now everyone is up in arms). Gameplay was more of the same which is likely great for some and lame for others. I had a lot of graphical errors in my playthrough too which really threw the experience overall.
Also the dialogue kept missing the bar and made the character development felt so...Marvel-esque and that's not a good thing.
If you love the game I'd say get it and you'll love the expansion.
@dark_knightmare2 Don't get me wrong it's still fun but with the soundtrack being forgettable and nothing close to original catchy tunes, the character's development with the back and forth dialogue cut-scenes that have no personality compared to the original and the pacing of the story along with R&C interacting with each planet they encounter makes it really weak in my opinion. If you've got time 'TheGamingBritShow' explains it better than I do.
@ShogunRok Well said, can be tricky I imagine to try to write for both how it stands in the series and as its own title...as far as Andromeda is from the Milky Way.
@ShogunRok First off no problem with the review but I'm more curious with the how the review process works. When you do review a game is it important to review it as a stand alone or as a comparison to its predecessors? You mention that its quality isn't up to the standard that Bioware is known to produce which is more than evident. Can that cause you to expect more and ultimately harm your view on a game?

Re: Soapbox: Final Fantasy VII Remake's Final Trailer Is a Spoiler-Ridden Disgrace
I'm a little baffled that there even needs to be a spoiler warning for a 23 year old game that looks prettier. Did they change the story?

Too bad it's one of the worst in the series. Pretty though, good on them
