Get Mass Effect: Andromeda For $20 Right Now In The US

This is one of the lowest prices we've ever seen.

111 Comments

Looking for something new to play? BioWare's Mass Effect: Andromeda is currently marked down to just $20 at US retailer GameStop. This price is for physical editions for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and is down from its previous price of $40.

Shipping from GameStop's website is free when you use the code SAVER at checkout (via Slickdeals.net).

No Caption Provided

Andromeda launched in March behind tepid review scores. The game was quickly discounted, while publisher Electronic Arts in May responded to the game's mixed reaction. Following that, a report said the Mass Effect series was put on hiatus.

$20 is one of the lowest price we've ever seen for Andromeda, so if you've been curious but didn't want to pay full-price, now looks like a good time to think about jumping in.

Andromeda is discounted in other regions, too. In Australia, you can get the game for around $57 instead of its usual $100 price point, while UK shoppers can get a copy of the game for around £33 right now.

GameSpot's Andromeda review scored the sci-fi shooter a 6/10.

"In many ways, Andromeda feels like a vision half-fulfilled. It contains a dizzying amount of content, but the quality fluctuates wildly. Its worlds and combat shine, but its writing and missions falter--and the relative strength of the former is not enough to compensate for the inescapable weakness of the latter," reviewer Scott Butterworth said.

In other news, a recent report claimed that BioWare, breaking from series tradition, will not release any single-player DLC for Andromeda.

This game is living proof of SJW garbage in... SJW garbage out. When it's two dollars I'll still pass on it. Seriously someone at EA and Bioware should've known better.

For $20, this is a good price. The "middle half" of the campaign and partner quests are good; the beginng and ending (about 10hrs on either side) are still garbage.

Also, the MEA Horde mode is THE best Horde mode in gaming right now. It's worth money on its own.

@Pyrosa: Any game that you have to sift through 10 hours of garbage to get to the good part isn't worth playing...

This is how uninterested I am With Andromeda and I've played the mass effect Trilogy 3 times over and will most likely play it through again. Even if its $10, There's no reason for me to play this game, at all. Doesn't even matter if its fun or not. If was the beginning of a prequel trilogy or something along those lines , then maybe. They should treat this universe with the same care as Star Wars trilogies.

@Orontes13: We tried the trial so what are you going on about? It's just not a proper Mass Effect game get over it. Bioware Austin is to blame. Other Mass Effects are made by Bioware Edmonton. Those are the true Mass Effect devs.

@Orontes13:

I've tried. Got into Rebels planet where i finally completely lost interest in the game and until this day i haven't touched it any more yet didn't delete it with a hope that one day ill find enough focus to play it again. Fortunately, i didn't have to spend money on this crap.

@Orontes13: Speak for yourself, spent 25+ hrs in it. It's not a shit game, but it's a really mediocre game with a mediocre story and MMO type side quests in a huge world.

This is really sad. And it's partly our fault - we were so focused on tearing Bioware a new one for delivering a game that wasn't up there with the originals that nobody stopped to think objectively and realise that this game has its good points too.

So, word of mouth spreads, nobody buys it and it gets marked down.

Story and characters aside, I thought this was one of the most entertaining shooters I've played in a long time - and that's what I will remember it for.

@Starshine_M2A2: that's what I see when it comes to EA/Bioware and the history of ME in general. Gamers became so spoiled with the original that they went overboard starting with ME 3 to bite the hand that feeds them by tearing the company apart so now any subsequent ME will get torn to shreds even if it's still a decent RPG. And I think Andromeda is not a bad game at all compared to what else is out there in the sci-fi RPG genre. Too bad many gamers will now pass on it, even at $20, thinking its complete garbage but will freely throw $60 at other games that offer less play value and play hours.

@Starshine_M2A2: Am I the only one who found combat mechanics to be cumbersome? I mean, yeah, more freedom to shoot at and you have a jet pack, but... one problem for me was most of the time I did not find were to shoot back at. And finally when I actually see the NPC who is shooting at me, one more shot and I am dead. Or is it just me that had this problem?

@Starshine_M2A2: story and character aside? Now there's really no reason to play this. Lol. The back stories of the characters are such a massive gameplay mechanic. For all these games dating all the way back to Knights of the old republic..its quite a big part of the game. Caring enough to want to know a little bit more about their back stories and unlocking them little by little throughout the game. If I want to jump around and shoot..there's other games like Titanfall and Infinite Warfare I can do that.

@Starshine_M2A2: it's not sad at all. The players voted with their wallets. Andromeda was trash and the pretend Bioware developers should be ashamed to have put their name on it.

@Starshine_M2A2: no. I think it had more to do with EA putting the burden on it's studio that couldn't handle the burden instead of letting the seasoned ME studio do it.

Exactly what I was going to say Bond_Villain - THEY would have to pay ME (handsomely) to play this game. I already do something (sit at a desk for 8hrs a day) that I dislike for a paycheck............I'm not going to do it WITHOUT being paid at home! I sunk 40 hrs into this game and couldn't progress any further as it was just too sad. Terrible, awful, horrible game!

@VakarianGirl: If you are doing a job for 8 hrs a day that you dislike you should be looking for another job, if you are then its your own fault you are miserable. Just sayin.. hopefully you are doing something to remedy that situation.

Well, 20 dollars is a decent price for this game. Unlike the initial 60-80 dollars.

I would kind of like to buy this for 20 bucks, but my time with the demo didnt really impress me enough to even want to continue. The 20 dollar sale is very tempting though :(

It's worthwhile for $20, especially if you're a Mass Effect fan. But not a cent more.

I'm actually really enjoying ME:A, but I will admit it's very rough around the edges, particularly so considering it's predecessors. I've seen more bugs than I can count, and the writing and acting is inconsistent (sometimes excellent, sometimes not) It is Mass Effect however and it's still enjoyable. $20 is a bargain. Get in on it!
