However, Mass Effect: Andromeda will now feature planets that players can full navigate. Player can navigate planets through the Nomad which is similar to Mass Effect 1' Mako. The Nomad is used to explore the vast planets of Mass Effect: Andromeda and also provide protection from the environmental hazards of a planet.

Enemies can be stationed in large bases that players can choose to attack for items that can help them in the game. Enemy bases are large and players should be prepared when planning to attack.

In terms of combat, Mass Effect: Andromeda offers something different from previous games. In the past, combat is usually pre determined and scripted. But for Mass Effect: Andromeda, there combat scenarios that aren't scripted. Creatures will be roaming the planets and players have the option of attacking and ignoring them. Planets also have their own super boss, large creatures that takes a strong team to take out. In some cases, players can encounter two factions fighting wherein the player has the option to join the battle and reap the items.

Mass Effect: Andromeda looks to be a bigger game than the past games. But bigger doesn't always mean better. With the disappointment of Mass Effect 3, Mass Effect: Andromeda has the golden opportunity to make up for their past mistake.
