I should probably blog about this, but for all its flaws and problematic aspects (which are surely legion) Mass Effect: Andromeda feels like a #StarTrek game without the Star Trek setting and branding.

The dialogue options for the female Pathfinder even feel kinda Trekkish, with emotional/casual options on the left for the Kirk fans and logical/professional responses on the right for the Picard/Janeway fans.

@starbreaker actual hot take: Andromeda has some of the best combat of any Mass Effect game.

@moz The combat is OK. It's basically a third-person cover shooter with sci-fi superpowers and smarter squadmates than previous installments.

What I particularly like is that if you research remnant tech you can make guns that overheat instead of running out of ammo.

I missed that aspect of the original Mass Effect in ME2 and ME3, and never liked the notion of "swapping out heat sinks" as an excuse to bring back ammo mechanics.
