Whilst not quite living up to the hype following the original trilogy, Mass Effect Andromeda provides us with a solid foundation to relaunch the series away from Shepard and the Reapers. It feels very much like a spiritual successor to Mass Effect 1 rather than a sequel to Mass Effect 3, and I can understand why this isn't what some people were looking for. Personally, I think it's what the series needs to keep going.

The tale is the right mixture of occasionally-interactive cutscenes and third-person adventuring to enhance the feeling that you're starring in a big budget space movie that, despite the reams of dialogue, doesn't require you to think too hard in order to keep up.

Story is amazing but they got rid of some features that made mass effect fun to play such as exploring the galaxy map. Most of the game is spent playing side quests as well as travelling long distances in the Nomad. The one thing that has remained somewhat the same is the battle system.

A mediocre "Mass Effect" experience, but still enjoyable open world game. "Andromeda" takes a few bold departures from the winning formula of the first trilogy, mostly with "meh" results. Things are changed that didn't really need to be changed, though the jet pack gave me a liberating feeling of speed and dynamism; however, it also made me feel like my allies were mostly useless. The biggest sin this game makes is failing to create compelling characters, plot, or worlds for us to explore. For being in another galaxy, the Andromeda system still feels quite a bit like the Milky Way, with replacement enemies and allies too similar to the main games to make an impression. For the Mass Effect completionist.
