600 years of space travel and the first aliens we meet are 6ft humanoids with assault rifles. Good job the exploration team are all battle-hardened soldiers, and not xenobiologists who would stop and say "well this is unexpected" before getting immediately destroyed.
I spent about four hours as Little Miss Vocal Fry, half in (pretty fun!) cover shooter combat, half walking past non-interactive NPCs staring at their work terminals like it's their first day and they lied about having extensive knowledge of excel.
I know I'm being picky, it plays well and I do get the appeal of ME as a space opera in general, but the sci-fi aspects of it are all so bloody basic. This race are the cops. This race are the scientists. This race are the warriors. Scourge. Exiles. Nexus. It's YA sci-fi. It's a space winamp skin. I'm not excited to be here, put me back into the cryo tube.
