People should limit their expectations. First time in 3D action space for that studio. They make amazing RPGs and im excited to see what they cook up for a story. But im not expecting to be wowed by gameplay.

(And exodus looks the other way around to me. Ive seen a few videos where characters made me cringe)

Mass effects gameplay was only ever passable.

Thats a hot take.

Really? The combat was extremely repetitive with very little enemy variety and almost no reason to change up your tactics. I played through the trilogy a couple years ago on veteran, and there was only one fight throughout the entire trilogy that required me to do anything outside of the norm.

I'd argue that ME:2 leveled up combat fluidity in action rpgs and brought near bungie level gun play to a different genre.

That being said I see where you are coming from, you pick your combat path and dont need to deviate from it, very much a smash your way through kind of game.

I'm only familiar with Bungie from Halo. What else did they work on?

Halo and Destiny are their big things.
