History

The main criticism of the game comes in the area that players expect Bioware to be at its peak: writing. It’s true that at first glance the story here isn’t as strong as the original trilogy, but how could it be? He is still preparing his world and introducing us to new trials and tribulations. Instead of a pre-established culture, one is built here by the settlers. Andromeda needs a second game before we can really get an idea of ​​how the writing will deal with this new setting.

The series of character companions was also a source of contention. Immediately there was a backlash on the issue of same-sex love affairs in the game, something that had been a staple in every Mass Effect game before. If you chose to play the twin, Sara Ryder, you had two female romantic options within your group of mates. But if you played the male twin, Scott Ryder, you didn’t have any same-sex romance within your group of playable companions. The only two options were secondary characters and their combined scenes amounted to less screen time than any other main romantic option in the game. Bioware later corrected this problem by including a male love option for Jaal, one of your alien companions.
