This past weekend, I finishedMass Effect: Andromeda. It was deeply disappointing. After a five-year wait since the end ofMass Effect 3, I was hoping that BioWare’s follow-up would offer an exciting story, but instead it offered a retread of plot points from the original trilogy married to a protagonist who shouldn’t be the hero of his/her story.

Pilgrimagebegins with a stoning. Underneath the hot sun, a religious martyr’s executioners line up and chuck black, volcanic rock towards his head. Each rock lands with a crushing blow as the victim’s skull cracks and blood bubbles to the surface. It’s a brutal beginning – one that tonally syncs the unabashedly dark and gloomy period drama that it precedes – but it’s also a bit of a cinematic warning: abandon all hope ye who enter here....
