I know Andromeda has a poor reputation, and a lot of it stems from issues at release. I am just curious what people who have played it more recently think about it. I’m a Mass Effect fan, and it looks like I can pick Andromeda up for less than 5 dollars at most places. Is it worth 5 bucks?

Edit: Thank you guys so much for all the perspectives! I’m going to pick it up and give it a try.

      So it’s missing all the things that made Mass Effect good

      I’d say that’s fair.

      The graphics are pretty good and combat is enjoyable for about an hour, but the game is incredibly repetitive - drive around the planet, peril will be provided by cold/heat/gas, solve the exact same boring puzzles, fight one of two kinds of bad guy, go to a new planet and do it again, etc.

      The story was almost in danger of being interesting at times, but the plot is cliched and predictable. I didn’t like Andromeda and I loved ME1-3
