BioShock 2 vs Mass Effect: Andromeda
BioShock 2
BioShock 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the popular BioShock game where you are thrown yet again back to the watery depths of Rapture but this time in the boots of the most iconic character of the BioShock franchise, the Big Daddy. The game also one-ups the previous game by introducing a more challenging opponent, Big Sisters, and another well-crafted and highly-acclaimed storyline that is as equally tragic as the last. In terms of gameplay, the game now allows players to dual wield a combination of plasmids, weapons or both.This time around the game also has a multiplayer option with unique multiplayer scenarios for players to experience and enjoy, including the opportunity to be involved in Rapture's civil war which had turned it into the creepy city that it is in the first game.
BioShock 2 retained most of what made the franchise so popular in the first place and yet added plenty more new features to change up the gameplay and appease its loyal and hardcore fans. This is a game that is highly recommended only after you've experienced the first BioShock game... seriously, don't jump the sequence!
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.
