There are a couple of new videos out today for Mass Effect Andromeda. The first comes to us directly from BioWare and EA and is part of their ongoing gameplay video series. This particular video focuses on exploration, discovery, and crafting within Andromeda. The second video is from IGN and shows off the first 13 minutes of the game. Naturally, if you don't want any spoilers, you may want to avoid IGN's video.
First thing is first though, let's see what where you can explore, what you can discover, and what you can craft in Mass Effect Andromeda.
There are also Forward Stations, Outposts, and Vaults to discover on planets. Crafting includes the ability to create a variety of weapon and armor augmentations. The Galaxy Map has been updated to now show you what is near your ship in real time.
Once again, the video below here is IGN's look at the first 13 minutes of the game.

Planets
Each world visited will have its own story, characters, and—of course—challenges.
In our gameplay video above, the world we’re visiting is Elaaden. When you explore the opening landing area, called Paradise, you’ll quickly discover that the heat on Elaaden can be deadly, that water is scarce, and that mysterious ancient artifacts are scattered across the landscape, guarded by dangerous remnant creatures. To make a life on Elaaden, you have to be desperate – or krogan.
Yet even the krogan aren’t happy, and they don’t trust anyone from the Andromeda Initiative – least of all a Pathfinder. How you deal with the krogan and the challenges that go along with them will ultimately determine success on Elaaden.
The Nomad, your all-terrain rover, is key for quickly covering the expansive landscapes throughout the Andromeda Galaxy. You’ll be able to enhance the Nomad with a series of functional upgrades designed to give you better Turbo Boost, higher jumps, better handling, and more.
