Very Astute Review
Thank you for your accurate review! 9 hours in I can confirm everything that you stated. Even the story seems not only hackneyed but from a roleplaying perspective does not lend itself to credence belying the reactions of NPCs as well as the inherent (forced) motivations that the game enforces on your Shephard . It almost felt surreal having your Shephard so willingly acquiesing to instructions and requests (even after use of certain cosmetic dialogue choices). The overall narrative seems forced, the characters are caricatures, and even the voice acting seems stilted in comparison to the first game (yes even Jennifer Hale whose VA I adore - I play a female Shephard). Even the much touted graphics were un-compelling compared to the first game - my Shephard looked better in ME1; also (as the OP mentioned) it almost seemed that the contrast/gamma had been turned waaaay up in order to artificially create ambiance and shadows in order to attain that "dark and gritty" atmosphere.
Everything that needed to be said about the stripped down gameplay and the ammo mechanism has been said by the OP. "Streamlining" is indeed an euphemism for "dumbing down". This change was a travesty!
Bland and boring, uninspiring, overall I am hugely disappointed. It's very obvious from the onset that this game had a different development team compared to the original and they ruined what could have been (potentially) a great game by "reinventing the wheel".
I sort of feel the same way. Disillusioned.
