Mass Effect: Andromeda vs Spore
Mass Effect: Andromeda
Mass Effect: Andromeda is a spin-off from the brilliant Mass Effect trilogy that lets you assume the role of a Pathfinder (as opposed to Commander Shepard) where you and your team of highly-trained soldiers will help humanity lead its first pioneers into the uncharted Andromeda galaxy. Featuring the game's signature saga-like storyline that's overflowing with mystery and epic space conflict, this game contains many aspects that Mass Effect fans have enjoyed and loved before, including incredibly in-depth character customization and character interactions, but at an enhanced and improved level. Interestingly, the game provides a destructible environment that a clever player can use to their advantage during heated combat.The game's gameplay also has a nice upgrade. Aside from boosted jumps, players now have a new line of weapons and tech to play with as well as the use of the very unique Biotics which definitely helps super-charge every battle you get into. Galaxy exploration is a key factor in this game as well, being Pathfinders and all.
However, either the publisher, EA Games, or the developers, BioWare, have decided to cancel single player updates for Mass Effect: Andromeda and only focusing on multiplayer ones. This comes as a great disappointment to many fans mainly because they love the storyline and would actually like to play them out in a game rather than, as announced recently, through comics or books. On the bright side though, there may still be more Mass Effect games to come in the future.
Spore
Spore is a pretty unique and addictively fun god-mode-like sandbox game where you get to create a whole new world and fill it with your living creations. As a "god", you can play around with the game's five evolutionary stages, from Cell to Space, and grow an entire space-faring civilization from its very simple beginnings as a single-cell organism. Of course, to develop a civlization, you'll need plenty of tools to help them along and Spore gives all of that to you in an easy-to-use format. You can literally customize everything you like in the game ranging from vehicles that your creations will drive or even buildings that your organisms will live in.Although Spore is essentially a single player game - after all, there can only be one almighty god... and that's you! - the world you've created is shared with other players in the game, so your creations can actually explore new planets and maybe even bump into a hostile race which will force them to make the preparations needed to go to war.
Overall, Spore is an amazingly detailed, civilization-building, sandbox game that allows you to micromanange almost everything if you choose to do so, or you could lay down the groundwork and let things unfold by themselves. Best yet, there is no limit as to how many worlds you can create, so unleash your creativity and your godly powers and develop the ultimate civilization today!
