It would be hard to find two Bioware fans to agree on which of their games is the most iconic, but you can bet Mass Effect would top both of their lists. One of their most popular series, the Mass Effect franchise has been announced for both intense gameplay and writing an engaging and complex story.
As is the case with all Bioware games, the choices you make impact the story as it unfolds. Your actions in the game determine who lives and who dies in a very literal sense, and are not isolated to just one game in the series. The decisions in the first Mass Effect have a major impact on Mass Effect 3, and that clever writing is part of the reason the series is so loved.
Mass Effect 3 was the end of that particular story, and fans were excited to see what the next one had to offer in Mass Effect: Andromeda. And it is also the reason why so many have been disappointed with the final product.
Backlash from fans
To understand the fan backlash on Mass Effect: Andromeda you need to understand the culture of the following fans. Some people may have disagreements as to where it could have been improved, but overall the original Mass Effect series is considered to be one of the best game series of all time. The world building was mind blowing and the level of interaction you had within that world was unmatched.
In essence, it is a difficult act to follow. Fans walked into Mass Effect: Andromeda expecting it to be fantastic, like the conclusion to a beloved series. And in a nutshell, this is an unrealistic expectation. But let’s start with the indisputable successes.
