After playing the origin access trial on pc i can say the combat is amazing an by far the best in the series. Its everything else that falls short. characters so far are lame and forgettable compared to shepard's crew, as already mentioned character models and animations are complete shit. the character creator is a huge step down from the original trilogy and other bioware games like dragon age to the point where im sticking with the default ryders which i never had to do in the other games. graphically its serviceable but coming from horizon zero dawn which makes 95% of other games look like shit its hard transition back to the run of the mill visuals of these games.
Overall as the 4th entry to a AAA franchise its a pretty half assed effort from bioware, i expected a far more polished title that should've surpassed the previous games but so far other than combat it fails in every aspect to do so. Gonna take alot of patches and a price drop for me to bother with this game.
