Every Major 2017 Video Game - Ranked By Anticipation

13. Mass Effect Andromeda

Yes, it's a Mass Effect game, and yes, it should be far, far higher on this list.

Yet, following a demo at the Video Game Awards where our main character's face didn't animate and another two 'reveals' that focussed entirely on action over story and character, fans and pundits alike are being forced to look at Mass Effect Andromeda as a continuation of the worst parts of Mass Effect 3. That means more 'defend this point' missions and a greater focus on shooting everything in the face, rather than conversing with it.

Bioware insist they've got more marketing, trailers and gameplay details to reveal across February, but with a March 21st release date and, y'know, the fact it's the next Mass Effect, it really is worrying that we're not all convinced it's going to be amazing by now.
