Can't say I really disagree with any of that. I kept freezing in that damned vault until I finally figured out that you had to reset the power. Certainly wasn't an obvious thing to do, when elsewhere you keep running from warm zone to warm zone to survive. To me those vaults seem like they were designed by an angry woman who just got dumped and got her period at the same time.
I've played though most of it at this point. I'm level 50-something. Finishing it has become less about enjoyment and more about completing an endurance test. It's all very repetitive at this point, except the things that irk me are growing more irksome. Sick of having finding precise routes to hop to objectives which become increasingly hoppier, or having to hit the boosters and shift just right to get up to the top of a mountain to find a chest that contains the same old shit the last 10 chests held (and I'm too OCD to just let them go).
Barring a wonderful resolution, I'd have to rank this far below ME2 and ME1, and even ME3 before that godawful ending ruined the whole damned thing. And none of the supporting characters are half as interesting as the ones from previous games. My kingdom for a Miranda Lawson sighting. And while I realize that the entire series is called Mass Effect, it does strike me as odd that there are no Mass Effect relays in the game. It's like a movie called "Terminator: Something" set in the Terminator universe without any terminators in it.
This isn't even in the same ballpark as the Bethesda games or Witcher 3. And as soon as I'm done with it, I'll go right back to playing one of those.
