Not the best entry in the Mass Effect-verse, and more akin to a spinoff. Andromeda is a misunderstood and really impressive game in its own right though, with a nice change up in terms of setting. Whereas ME 1 - 3 opted for an end-of-the-world battle for survival tale, Andromeda is a far more relaxing story of exploration. Characters and writing are on the whole less interesting, but just the sense of scale and venturing out into the unknown are really quite spectacular. Ultimately it comes off more like a series of Star Trek episodes than anything, which is no bad thing.
