Andromeda boasts some of the best gameplay in any RPG I've played. The rest of the game is a complete and utter mess of inconsistency. Some moments are really good. Most are painfully mediocre. Some are really, really bad. Even as a huge Mass Effect fan, I cannot in good faith call this game good. It's a functional game at best that has its moments. Considering the quality of the rest of the Mass Effect games, this is a complete pariah for a good reason even if I don't believe the game is utter trash. The fact I've been able to have fun with this game is evidence of that, but the moments of fun are punctuated by moments of boredom. This isn't a game I can recommend unless you are, like me, a die-hard Mass Effect fan.
