A game centred around sailing between islands where the sailing consists of raising and lowering the sail and steering the helm (that immediately recenter the moment you let go). No sail rotation to better catch the wind, no leaving the helm slightly rotated to make a nice angle. No dropping anchor to stop and park.

I am not asking for sail physics simulation like in Sail Wind or etc. Controls like in Sea of Thieves (or slightly simpler) would have been a whole lot more fun and engaging.

Just something where your ship is doesn't feel like a car with the sail as the gas pedal.

Completed in 15h but felt like i got 60h worth of content.
Definitely deserved a DLC or a sequel!

Nice update.
Game was turning into to much a run-n-gun Battlefield ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Now you gotta move with a bit more thought, gotta know when to engage when not to, and it's even more important to stick with your squad.

It does take a bit of time to get used to, but after 3 games I was already popping good shots just like before.

Going pretty smooth for me. Exactly what I wanted form a bathesda space game.

Willl update this to a full review once I finish the story and try out some more game mechanics.

Cons
- Bad character model design and facial design (everyone looks like a toddler with heads too big, and asari have round bloated faces and all look identical)
- Poor facial animation and cutscene animation (have you seen that krogan "fistfight", video is going around youtube)
- Bad writing (both characters and story, just poorly written to the point where bad cringy dialogue ruins great quest design)
- Story is incomplete (a lot of thing are unexplained due to a mix of poor writing and future plans that fell through)
- Less character choices (most of it is just flavours of response, with some yes or no choices for accepting quests or quest resolutions; no reputation system of charisma checks so most of it doesn't matter)

Pros
- Great gameplay:
- Exploration is fun (several varied environments with lots of things to do and fight)
- Open ended character skill system (doesn't lock you in to one class which allows for very varied characters)
- Great combat (its just fun, I finished legendary edition of the trilogy just now and i can say with honesty that andromeda combat is better; just make sure to mod out the different x and y sensitivity bs)
- Took me over 60 hours to complete almost fully (ignoring some minor tasks) and I had fun the entire time

Final Recommendation:
- Buy on sale
- Mod
- Enjoy the gameplay
- Don't think too much about the story (not that hard tbf)

This is not a worthy successor to Mass Effect, the writing doesn't stand up to the challenge. But. it is still a fun game. If they make a sequel, I'll prolly play it, the writing just got to be better though.

Campaign was great - didn't disappoint

Loved it, want more

(Took about 18h to complete btw, then I replayed)

Was really excited to try this game: a survival sandbox that's liked by Minecraft players - sounds great!
Well, let me give you a short run down of my experience:

Ooh, Terraria! I heard about it - people compare it to Minecraft and say its good, let try it.
Create character, create world - I guess I’ll go casual since its the 'default' experience. Make the world Large: I like it when I have space.
Check settings for controls before I start - hmm, this font is kinda hard to read (literally couldn't read half of it): what does the 'zoom in' and 'zoom out' keys say? whatever i'll just rebind them. Wonder why every single hotbar shortcut has a D before the number: D1, D2, D3... (no seriously why?)

I guess that's fine lets start:

Spawn in - get immediately attacked by slimes
Manage to fight them off - get a second between spawns to get some wood
Suddenly see some pink slime going after me - get hit for ♥♥♥♥ ton of damage
Try to fight back - 1-2 dmg out of a healthbar of 150!!!
Manage to finally kill it (whilst fighting off hordes of normal slime) with help of NPC that spawned with me - took so long its getting late now
"Time to build a house"
Place down some wood - oops, placed one wrong
Attempt to remove wood – hand or axe doesn’t work
Google "terraria how to remove wood" - use pickaxe (what? Why?)
Try to make a cieling, cant place wood above me - ok maybe need wall or something
Make a craftign bench and plop it down, get more crafting options - they are all in a giant vertical list that I need to scroll through (seriously?!)
Manage to find wooden wall, craft and place down - doesn't line up with edges of my wood floor (weird but ok)
Google “terraria how to remove wood walls” – need a hammer
Can’t make one, can’t find it in the (long) scroll list – guess I am stuck with crooked walls
Night is here - start getting mobbed by more and more ♥♥♥♥, even a zombie shows up (it’s kinda strong)
More zombies show up, this ones are even stronger - getting swarmed while barely hurting them
Manage to push them out and block myself in with wood - finally get 5 sec to think
Make a wooden door - can't place, ghost image of door appears and disappears
Google "terraria how to place door" - ah, need wood on top first
Hurriedly start placing a ceiling - just in time: flying ♥♥♥♥ shows up and starts dealing a ton of dmg
Barely manage to finish the ceiling and place doors. ok, built a house, I am safe now - Nope! Retarded NPC barges in and opens the door letting all the over powered zombies in!
Get killed instantly in my own house - proceed to spend the next 10 minutes getting spawn-camped by a horde of OP zombies…
Finally manage to make it back to the house - push out all the zombies and place a block in front of the door so that the zombies can’t get to me even if the damn NPC opens the door again (hopefully the zombies get him)
Finally safe, got sometime to think, to clean up this gravestones, "if surface is dangerous maybe I should dig down unde-" - Nope, not safe! A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GHOST flies in through the walls and starts attacking me! And then another one shows up!
Pause the game and take a look around: OP zombies on both sides and more coming, a flying eyeball in the air and two ghosts flying in the house – I am not safe anywhere, can’t get a single moment to breath
Quit Game

Spent ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 30 minutes, from the second I spawned, doing nothing but fighting, with barely any time to stop and think or figure out whats what. Getting mobbed by weak mobs then getting chased by strong ones, getting assailed by an unstopping wave of zombies, that I can’t even kill, and then getting attacked by ghosts that go through my walls, all the while being sabotaged by some NPC, having to google how to do seemingly basic stuff, navigating the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ crafting menu and breaking my eyes on the unreadable font. Can't even get a chance to gather any resources - always just dodging and hitting. This is just ridiculous.

Refunded.

Sluggish movement and camera rotation make this very unenjoyable.
Would have been much better if movement was more like Space Engineers and you could turn dampeners on and off instead of holding a button to break.
Refunded

Very good campaign, been itching for a good shooter with a story for a while now and this certainly scratches the right spot.
