With this latest installment in the Mass Effect franchise, BioWare has moved the story 2.5 million light-years away from the controversial ending of the original trilogy. Thanks to a lengthy development period, a new engine, a new crop of consoles, and a fresh narrative start, the expectations of fans are fairly high. We’re all dying to see if BioWare delivered the goods.

Here’s the story: After a 600-year journey, ships from the Milky Way are arriving in Andromeda in the year 2819. The Citadel races (Humans, Turians, Asari, and Salarians) have sent tens of thousands of individuals to colonize planets in a different galaxy, and these poor souls are largely unaware of the giant robotic space squids that their friends and family were inundated with back home. Sadly, things aren’t so rosy in Andromeda either.
