I thought I’d throw together a bit of a thinky topic today – The Mass Effect trilogy isn’t open world by any means, it’s not quite encompassing to refer to it as linear but it’s perhaps the best descriptor considering the subject matter. Andromeda took on a more open-world like approach though it didn’t go the full way there, and that came with baked in shortcomings that in my opinion undermined the game’s intent. In my mind, future Mass Effect instalments should perhaps look to what allowed the Mass Effect trilogy to thrive (when it did, they weren’t perfect games either), figuring out the best route forward for the franchise considering a new title is on the way, even if we shan’t see it for a few years yet. Let’s discuss it a bit and take a look at how Mass Effect 2 in particular tackled its layout to deliver a less is more philosophy that suited the franchise nicely.
