I actually quite liked Andromeda: it had its clumsy moments but IMHO was a lot better than widely reported. Its main problem was just a bit of a lack of polish, which made it feel as if Bioware had given up on it before it was even released (though I have my own theories about that: after the ME3 ending fiasco the next game was pretty much a dead cert to be panned; Andromeda actually did a reasonable job of distancing itself from that utter mess).
