There is an abundance of shooty-bang-bang sequences (so long as you don't mind it all feeling like you've done it a thousand times before - because, by the end, you will have). Huge open worlds to explore (providing that you don't go too near the 'edge' and get warned to go back) and hundreds of people to talk to (providing you don't want any of that dialogue to be meaningful in any way). It's a game that espouses width over quality. Andromeda, however, has none of those things. Even ME3, with its lousy ending, was good for 95% of its playtime.

The Mass Effect games are noted for epic story lines, larger-than-life characters and some pulse pounding action sequences. It also bodes well for the overall franchise.Where do I begin? To say we waited five years for this mess would be to admit we hoped it would be good.

There was an intentional two-galaxy shot of Andromeda and the Milky Way in one Mass Effect 4 trailer, and somehow bringing them together is incredibly ambitious. It may have once been seen as the best option, but BioWare has made it clear Andromeda is going nowhere. There had to be some temptation to choose another new IP over Mass Effect or to return to the Milky Way, ignoring the events of the Andromeda Galaxy. What’s clear is that Andromeda has found its way into the hearts of many fans, and BioWare isn’t abandoning it. This goes for Cyberpunk 2077, which has trended upward ever since releasing at rock bottom, and Battlefield 2042-should EA pursue it thoroughly. Indeed, any game can be redeemed in the eyes of fans, should it openly tackle the issues. Its continued development was eventually canned, but had BioWare been able to fully pull off the Anthem 2.0 Reboot (made harder by the pandemic), it could have been in Andromeda’s shoes one day.
