Dead Space 2 vs Mass Effect: Andromeda
Dead Space 2
Dead Space 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to Dead Space, a thrilling third person shooter that is guaranteed to give you a scare. This sequel retained many of the elements that had made the franchise successful, including the third-person view, the terrifying gameplay as well as a brilliant continuation of the storyline where the first game left off. In fact, you could say that Dead Space 2 simply offers more of the same experience you'd get from the first game... with the exception of the storyline - the plot in this game is definitely different from the former.Many critics and fans of the game bemoaned this fact, and as much as they would like to love the sequel, Dead Space 2 had been quite a disappointment to many of them. However, if you'd like to enjoy an "extended version of the first original Dead Space game" a.k.a. this game, you'll be in for a treat. If not, you might want to skip this one altogether and get Dead Space 3 instead.
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.
