Mass Effect: Andromeda vs Star Wars: The Old Republic
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.
Star Wars: The Old Republic
Star Wars: The Old Republic is simply an amazing Star Wars-themed MMORPG where you get to dive into the constant conflict between the Sith and the Jedis of the Galactic Republic. Choose a side and one from the the four different classes available to begin your journey as either a Sith or a Jedi. The depth in the gameplay is brilliant as well. You'll get to customize and improve your own character through a variety of ways. You can then test out your build and strength in a PvE or a PvP setting. The best (and trickiest) part though is its storyline... and this game nails it somehow. Fans of Star Wars will be glad to know that the plot fits perfectly into the franchise.All in all, Star Wars: The Old Republic has a lot going for it and is a game that not onyl fans of Star Wars should play. If you enjoy playing MMORPGs, you should definitely check this game out.
