Mass Effect had a pretty big impact on the gaming landscape but most people now remember it for one thing: how it ended. While Mass Effect was a good start, Mass Effect 2 was nearly perfect, Mass Effect 3 took was nearly as good... until the end ruined it for pretty much everyone. Mass Effect: Andromeda tries to take things in a new direction - a different story, different characters and a different part of the galaxy entirely. But in their rush to provide something new, BioWare and EA bit off more than they could chew resulting in a game that, while having a decent story and gameplay, suffers from lack of polish and focus. The end result is a game that is solid yet unfulfilling - and while it may not deserve quite all the negativity it has received, it certainly could have been better.
