Item: Mass Effect: Andromeda
Rating: 6.8
Author: Jeff Morgenroth

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.
