Mass Effect: Andromeda Drops to $20 on Sale at GameStop

4.1

Mass Effect: Andromeda released earlier this year on consoles and PC and while the game had a decidedly mixed reaction compared to the original trilogy of games, those looking to hop into the new title can do so on consoles for a record low price.

GameStop is currently hosting a sale on Mass Effect: Andromeda for the PS4 and Xbox One versions, which are both discounted to an all-time low of $19.99, making for the perfect opportunity to check out the title.

Mass Effect: Andromeda debuted earlier this year, and receive notable criticism from fans for poor animation quality, and among other issues. Our own Giuseppe Nelva reviewed the title, giving the title a score of 7.5 and having this to say about Andromeda:

If you’re a long-time BioWare fan, well used to their quirks and idiosyncrasies, you’re probably going to enjoy the game a whole lot more than younger and less experienced gamers coming in fresh from more advanced and polished RPGs.

I am certainly part of the first lot, and in fact, despite the flaws, I really enjoyed most of Mass Effect Andromeda, its lovable alien buddies, its beautiful exotic planets, its story full of mysteries and surprises to uncover. The tight combat gameplay definitely adds to the package, making this a game worth playing.

Perhaps Mass Effect Andromeda will serve as a wake-up call for BioWare, letting them realize that it’s time to evolve beyond the change of setting and cast. In the meanwhile, we’re still given a game that might not be the monumental fresh start that the masses expected, but is still a quite solid experience that many will enjoy.
