This game left me torn.
On one side, I really like the whole sci-fi/space exploration setting. The game does a decent job on this point.
The whole "new galaxy" thing is exciting and allows the developers to separate themselves from the original trilogy.
The combat and class/talent system is also on point.
However, the story is so dull that I found it very difficult to stay engaged during my first playthrough.
On top of that, the supporting characters are unbearable. And I mean it. From Cora's jealousy, Peebee's hyperactivity, or whatever the fuck that was, to how every single individual in Hyperion treats you, I don't think there's a single character that can redeem this game (except your twin).
Also, the game tries to emulate the past ME's choice system, but don't get fooled: it's only an illusion. Your dialogue/action choices mean nothing, 0, nada.
