@moz The combat is OK. It's basically a third-person cover shooter with sci-fi superpowers and smarter squadmates than previous installments.
What I particularly like is that if you research remnant tech you can make guns that overheat instead of running out of ammo.
I missed that aspect of the original Mass Effect in ME2 and ME3, and never liked the notion of "swapping out heat sinks" as an excuse to bring back ammo mechanics.

@moz Thanks, but I already have a gun that melts enemies: the Shadow IV rem-tech sniper rifle. It's got a continuous beam. Works great when shooting from the hip or aiming, and rips through shields like tissue paper. Good against armor too in between fire combos (inferno > overload).
I like sniping enemies from a distance without them being able to hit back, 'cause I'm an asshole with no sense of fair play. :)
