I think it’s fair to say that Mass Effect: Andromeda did not have the impact anyone had hoped. The divisive space opera RPG was not as well received by critics or fans of the series as previous games. It’s put a great big question mark over the future of a once great franchise. It looks like there may be more bad news for fans on the horizon.

EA has put Mass Effect on ice following Andromeda's release, as its development studio is transformed into a support house for other developers.

Mass Effect games may be sold on the idea of forging alliances and unleashing biotic barrages on your enemies, but it’s key selling point will always be the age-old industry standard: Sex. Lots of it in fact, as you’ll get plenty of time to create the beast with two backs from a wide selection of crewmates who are keen to bump genitals with you in a gross display of affection.

Mass Effect: Andromeda has left critics divided over its quality. But it's clear it's no longer the bar raising franchise it used to be.

A hate-filled internet mob has incorrectly targeted a woman who worked on Mass Effect Andromeda - pinning all the game's poor animations on one individual.

Yesterday was a hard day's work. I got to stream Mass Effect: Andromeda thanks to Origin Access and these are my first impressions.

We're going to be live streaming Mass Effect Andromeda for most of today. That is, unless the internet deities take umbrage.

Don't worry, you won't have to grind the multiplayer to prepare your "Galactic Readiness" this time around.
