But it'll probably be better known as the Mako Mk.2 by anyone who played Mass Effect 1, because holy shit its the Mako.

Yep.

They genuinely took everything that made people love their previous games, and removed it.

They replaced hand crafted with random generation.

They replaced rewarding exploration with vast empty landscapes peppered with repetative, boring duplicated PoIs.

and they replaced interesting dungeons with literally a handful of pregenerated ones that get plopped and replopped over and over again.

and it all builds up to..what? finding artifacts that give you totally-not-space-magic, with the same boring FMV every time, almost all the spells of which are generally useless... and an ending thats just a NG+ with very mild changes for the first few times you do it.

and do it you must, because you are expected by them to beat the game at least..what was it? 10? 20? times? to get the best suit and ship.

but you must do it on the same character, because you're not allowed to change your perks, stats, or anything, to make it even remotely more interesting.
