Why did Mass Effect Andromeda perform so poorly? Developer Mark Darrah suggests that part of its failure could be attributed to "a really really busy window" in March 2017, which included the release of numerous RPGs, such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Darrah claims that Andromeda "did not get a fair shake" because reviewers were too harsh, despite the game being deeply flawed.
Word of mouth and many technical issues with Mass Effect Andromeda caused a ripple effect. In fact, the situation got so bad even properly implemented systems were overly scrutinized by the media, he believes. It was a busy release window with Zero Dawn, Nioh, Wildlands and others releasing with better RPG elements.
