My series of articles on the disappointing follow-up to Mass Effect 3, which shares many of the same faults as Dragon Age: Inquisition but to an even worse degree.

The main article on Andromeda’s storytelling failures focusing on Ryder’s poor dialogue, unfocused narratives, and an ultimately unearned ending.
