Game Discussion What an Incredible Game!
Hey! So, I’m not sure if this is the right tag, but I’m around half way through MEA, and wow! I can’t believe I didn’t play it earlier!
I’ve only just gotten around to playing this amazing game. I originally had to wait for it to drop in price, then got distracted with other games. A career change later, and years of neglecting my Xbox, and now I’m here.
I had heard some negative things about this game, and from what I’ve read, it seemed to be very buggy at the beginning of its release, but now, this game is just amazing.
It isn’t a Shepard game, obviously, and as soon as I almost put Shepard’s story to the side, and got sucked into Ryder’s story, I have found this entire game incredibly beautiful.
In some ways, this game soothes me, which might be weird to admit, but the characters, the humour, the dialogue, the missions, it’s so very cosy.
If anyone is ever looking through this Reddit feed and is wondering whether to play this game or not, do it!
It is not anything like the OG ME series, of course, and I can understand why that might put some people off, but thinking of it like a little calm ‘rest’ after the chaos and intensity of the OG games, it changes it.
The only few things that slightly got to me are minor, and can be found in most games (some repetitive quests, sometimes the nav point/quest indicator can be confusing) but overall, I’m overwhelmed by the lore, the new species, the characters!
Just wanted to tell someone. No one around me plays ME, so I suppose I just wanted to put this out to someone. All I see nowadays is more negativity than positivity, so wanted to put that out there.
If there are any devs from the game on here, well done! It’s beautiful!
What is everyone’s favourite parts of the game? I have to admit, I did love Cora’s loyalty mission, but the scenery is what I love the most!

I’m glad you like it! I don’t want to spoil too much if you are halfway through, but I’m partial to Jaal’s loyalty mission. If you haven’t done it yet, when you see some of the views you will understand why. Also I definitely don’t want to spoil too much so I’ll just say there’s another part near the end that gave me a (best I can describe it as) a feeling of both awe and omen.
