My main issue with Andromeda is that in many ways it just didn’t seem like a true Mass Effect game. It takes a long time to kick into gear as well the best parts and most interesting worlds are reached after a 15 hour opening slog, which no doubt led to many players giving up early into the game. The main story in particular wasn’t that interesting, and butchered what could have been a compelling premise. Looking back, I’m not sure why I played 50 hours of this game, because it isn’t that good. Mass Effect Andromeda disappointed almost every Mass Effect fan. This could have been a good game, maybe even great, but instead EA chased easy money and ruined the hard work of the developers. And while EA did temporarily remove the ability to spend real money on loot crates at launch, there is no doubt you’ll be able to pay to win at some point in the future. It’s a disgraceful money grab, when the game already costs $60. Loot crates you can buy with real money that give tangible in-game advantages to players have no place in competitive games. As a regular player, the progression system just doesn’t feel rewarding and doesn’t do a good job of incentivizing goals or unlocks.Īnd let’s not forget the pay to win system that EA nearly thrust on us all, if it wasn’t for an enormous outcry from the community. And the multiplayer progression system is one of the worst in modern multiplayer shooters: it’s confusing and unnecessarily complicated, with items, abilities and upgrades for both locked behind odd barriers. The much hyped single player campaign is very short and just complete garbage to be honest. There’s a lot more content to enjoy than its predecessor, too.īut the problems with Battlefront II are numerous. Multiplayer is a blast, and the presentation captures the essence of Star Wars in such a brilliant way. When talking about Battlefront II I do want to mention that some aspects of this game are genuinely fun. And kicking it off this time is a doozy: easily the most controversial game released in 2017. We’ve narrowed the list down to five worthy entries, which we’ll be going through in no particular order. The following games simply weren't good enough far from it in fact. It’s nice to talk about all the great games that were released this year, but we’re also not going to let slide the games that really disappointed us, and there’s a few that stick out like a sore thumb. While outside of our usual scope, we must recognize that it arguably was an even better year for consoles with hits like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Horizon Zero Dawn dominating discussion for game of the year. For our year's favorites see our Best PC Games You Should be Playing list which is updated a few times a year with a combination of the games we are playing (and thus recommend) and newer entries which we deem worth of your time and attention. Without a doubt, 2017 was a great year for gamers and it certainly saw a number of excellent titles released on PC, including Prey, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Wolfenstein II, Battlegrounds, and many more.
