This boss fight captures Mass Effect: Andromeda’s highs and lows

Electronic Arts is releasing Mass Effect: Andromeda on Tuesday for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, and it’s the latest installment in BioWare’s epic science fiction series. And as you might expect, you encounter some epic boss fights in the game.

One of the early ones takes place on the planet Eos, which is one of the possible “golden worlds” that humanity is seeking as it explores the new Andromeda galaxy in search of a new home world. The Eos fight isn’t particularly difficult on normal setting, but it shows a lot about the combat in Andromeda.
