The character issues aside. Andromeda us actually really good. It feels like a better playing Mass Effect. Not too sure about the writing though. But overall I'm impressed considering the shit storm that surrounded the games release.
For me the gameplay was fine but I reached a point where I just said fuck it and focused on the main storlyline quest and ignored everything else. Romance plotlines and loyalty quests lines can be 10 -30 missions long. I discovered I didn't care about any of my squad enough to care. I can name every ME2 squad mate, tell your ther backstories and the name of their father etc. I cant even recall the full roster for Andromeda. That's where the game failed.
I also reached a point where I could no longer care to terraform each world fully. Just didn't seem to have enough reward for the effort. Not enough reward for the effort would be my review tagline for ME Andromeda.
It als hurts that the villains are a slightly different take on the villains from ME 1-3. Seriously, similar threat, motivation, tactics just a slightly different reasoning.
