Mass Effect 4 should continue the trend of excellence its fans are used to seeing. BioWare's most recent addition to the franchise, Mass Effect: Andromeda, didn't have the most glowing reception upon release in 2017, and the developer will be eager to right its wrongs. Despite taking players on a journey 2.5 million light years away from Earth and having ample room for creativity in its plot and gameplay, Andromeda underwhelmed its expectations. However, the disappointment could prove to be a turning point for the franchise, and Mass Effect 4 could learn a few lessons on what to incorporate and discard from its predecessor.
