9 Things We Want to See In Mass Effect: Andromeda

The latest installment in BioWare's space-exploration series, Mass Effect: Andromeda, is right around the corner, and here's what we want to see in it.

8) Gunplay That Packs Variety

The Mass Effect trilogy is rightly revered, but it never truly nailed the art of gunplay. Yes, it had half-hearted nods to customization and moments where you would run, gun, and jump for cover, but gunplay took on a pretty predictable flavour after a few hours.

This time around, I’m hoping bigger levels will breed more emergent gameplay, and the room to really experiment with different play styles. How about a touch of stealth, or action, or a combination of the two?

I’d also like to see squad controls and general AI improved as well. The slow-down powers of the original trilogy needs some work, but could be just the tonic needed to complement the gun play. Nail the combat, and Bioware will be sitting pretty.
