5 things I learned playing 'Mass Effect: Andromeda'

March is already a jam-packed month in video games, between the arrivals of epics like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Nier: Automata, and players still prowling the hit open-world adventure Horizon: Zero Dawn. Andromeda follows up the popular Mass Effect trilogy, where players served as Commander Shepard, tasked with saving the galaxy from a purge of organic life from an advanced race of machines called Reapers. Players were drawn to the trilogy by an incredibly robust story with an encyclopedia-like Codex and the ability to make decisions through dialogue changing the course of the game's events. It also allowed players to explore countless planets and galaxies, discovering various races such as the Krogan and Quarians. Now, we've arrived at Andromeda, which takes place 600 years after the original Mass Effect trilogy.
