Mass Effect Andromeda: 9 Gameplay Overhauls You Need To Know About

5. Mass Effect 1/No Man's Sky-Influences

Back to planet types, and outside the story-based ones, we're apparently getting planets that will be marked for 'hazardous conditions' such as radiation, or being too hot/cold for exploration without an upgraded suit.

It's worth noting that the original Mass Effect also had these features, where on top of the aforementioned conditions, you'd occasionally have to put up with increased environmental pressure and toxins in the surrounding air supply. This all resulted in a timer that slowly counted down depending on the planet, but could be negated with a specific armour set.

You can guarantee such planets will hold better and more valuable loot or rewards for both your player, the Tempest, and Mako-successor, the Nomad, but you'll have to survive to make it back in one piece.
