Many like to say ME3's biggest flaw is its ending, but for me it's the boring level design that drags the experience down from the greatness of ME2. With little exception it basically consists of one boring room with chest high walls after another, requiring very few changes to approach or tactics. ME2 excelled in this area, whether it was the bit where you had to force your way through waves of enemies to seal their entry point, or the planet where you had to stay out of the sunlight or risk getting caught with your shields down

The controls are still fairly slick and finally don't feel massively inferior on consoles. I particularly appreciate being able to easily swap from cover to cover. The sprinting animation looks rather goofy. A lack of polish here and there can really break the immersion of the experience, particularly with setpiece sequences like the final charge towards the Citadel beam

Overall it's fun and worth playing but its problems are hardly limited to its story
