Mass Effect: Andromeda, developed by BioWare, is the fourth installment of the renowned Mass Effect franchise. Unlike the previous games, Andromeda is set in the future, hundreds of years after the events of Mass Effect 3. You play as a Pathfinder, a member of an expedition to the Andromeda galaxy. Your mission is to find a new home for thousands of passengers traveling in suspended animation on the space ark Nexus.

The game is heavy on the plot, with many dialogues and cutscenes that immerse you in the story. The action is played like a third-person shooter, with the ability to aim and take cover. The crafting system is intricate, requiring you to research upgrades before assembling them. The game offers a flexible tactical approach as enemy AI reactions vary. Dialogues define how your character is perceived, but don't affect the actual plot.
