More Emphasis on Relationships

Mass Effect

Alongside the sheer lack of choice throughout the game, Mass Effect Andromeda also suffers in another staple throughout the franchise: relationships. 

Whether it’s romantic relationships or one of the many bromances formed throughout the series, the original trilogy formed memorable bonds across each game. Mass Effect Andromeda tries to replicate this far too quickly, and it feels unearned as a result. 

The next installment in the series needs to focus on building relationships and characters again. You can’t expect fans to become attached to crewmates –and even the Ryders– when neither they nor their relationships with other characters have had time to develop.
