A new adventure awaits in the Mass Effect universe. With stunning visuals and a new galaxy to discover, BioWare delivers the next generation of space exploration.
Commander Shepard's story may be over, but there are many more stories to tell in the Mass Effect universe. Mass Effect Andromeda will be set in a new galaxy, with new characters, new quests and a whole load of new consequence-laden decisions to make.
Mass Effect: Andromeda takes you to the Andromeda galaxy, far beyond the Milky Way. There, you'll lead our fight for a new home in hostile territory - where WE are the aliens.
Play as the Pathfinder - a leader of a squad of military-trained explorers - with deep progression and customisation systems. This is the story of humanity’s next chapter, and your choices throughout the game will ultimately determine our survival in the Andromeda Galaxy.
As you unfold the mysteries of the Andromeda Galaxy and the hope for humanity lies on your shoulders – You must ask yourself… How far will you go?
Key Features:
Return to the Mass Effect universe. Lead the first humans in Andromeda on a desperate search for our new home. In this new chapter of Mass Effect, meet and recruit all-new, interesting characters caught up in an epic space saga filled with mystery and galactic conflict.
Fight for survival. Battle with your Pathfinder team against terrifying enemies and creatures. New additions like destructible environments, boosted jumps for added verticality, and all-new weapons and Biotics make combat more thrilling than ever.
Build your hero. Create a formidable hero with amazing weapons, powers and tech. A much more flexible skill and weapon progression tree means you can replicate your play style to make you unstoppable against new, powerful alien enemies.
Explore a new galaxy. Chart your own course in a dangerous new region. Unravel the mysteries of the Andromeda galaxy as you discover rich, alien worlds in the search for humanity’s new home.

It's time to say goodbye to Mass Effect: Andromeda, for now. After two playthroughs, I am moving on. I'll miss Andromeda, and I know that I will return in the not too distant future, likely to replay this game and then to jump into the next.

It's time to say goodbye to Mass Effect: Andromeda, for now. After two playthroughs, I am moving on. I'll miss Andromeda, and I know that I will return in the not too distant future, likely to replay this game and then to jump into the next. But for now, I am happy with two satisfying runs, with the various stories I experienced and the team I grew to love.
I'll leave one last video here. Fair warning, it has character spoilers. However, it is one of my favourite interactions with a crew member. In some ways it is a cliché conversation, but some things in life are cliché. It is one of the simple moments crafted in the game that left me feeling closer to my crew, and made the story of Andromeda feel all the more real.

I have trophy popups disabled on my system, as I pay little attention to them. However, the system still records an image at the time a trophy is obtained, so it's sometimes interesting to browse through the image gallery to see the type of images and scenarios captured.

I have trophy popups disabled on my system, as I pay little attention to them. However, the system still records an image at the time a trophy is obtained, so it's sometimes interesting to browse through the image gallery to see the type of images and scenarios captured. I thought that this fight was an apt time for a teamwork trophy to pop. It could have happened at any time, because I tend to frequently use power combinations to my advantage in every Mass Effect game, but it's fun to see that it popped when I was fighting an Architect rather than some lowly Kett Chosen.

My second favorite game in the series and one of the most over-criticized mainstream releases I've ever encountered.

The little touches matter:
Mass Effect: Andromeda lets you wear Shepard's armor — but not everybody likes it
From the article:
The original Mass Effect’s legendary Commander Shepard was an N7, and so was your character’s father, Alec Ryder.
But you? You’re not an N7. Not by a long shot. At least one veteran named August Bradley takes the time …

But you? You’re not an N7. Not by a long shot. At least one veteran named August Bradley takes the time to let you know how much it pisses him off if you choose to wear the rank without earning it.

I just had a minor geek-out moment. I'll keep spoilers out of it but I found a character voiced by Ike Amadi. He likely voices a few characters but I found the one that sounds exactly like Javik. I didn't know it was Amadi at first but the more he talked the more I felt a vague emotional connection. And …
I just had a minor geek-out moment. I'll keep spoilers out of it but I found a character voiced by Ike Amadi. He likely voices a few characters but I found the one that sounds exactly like Javik. I didn't know it was Amadi at first but the more he talked the more I felt a vague emotional connection. And then it clicked, I knew it was Amadi, I knew it was Javik. And now I wish he would stick around a bit longer than I know this current quest line will last.
P.S. pro-tip for anyone yet to play ME3. Get Javik right away, and take both he and Liara with you everywhere. You won't regret it. Especially during the mission to Thessia. It's comedy gold. Plus it's super informative if you enjoy the general Mass Effect lore.
