So, a few hours in and spent most my time trying to create a character. The gameplay and combat is fine, not quite as precise as 2 or 3 but good. The idea of exploring and stuff was nice and a lot better than just 'go down this hallway until everything is dead'.
But those customisation option... man, was that an after thought for the developers. It's like late last year they went to each other "Crap, aren't we suppose to let people make their own people?" Their issue is the presets, you can only edit presets, which in turn means the base skin colour, eyes, even noses, are adjustable based on those instead of having a near free customisation like ME series had before. I mean you can't choose your eye shape... that's weird. It's like in every other customisation character game.
The characters I've seen (human ones at least) are all a bit more... squishy/podgy too, like they've got a bit more body fat on them than the toned character models from ME2 and 3.
Anywho, that's a side thing, I'm a little way in, just got to the big space station.
Hmm, pie.
