I'm going to be honest here for a minute, I bought Andromeda on a PSN sale for 6£ and I still think I over-payed for it. Played it roughly for about 10 hours in the first and only sitting. It was probably the most boring gameplay I have played in a long time. Nothing about it griped me at all, not the story, not the characters, not the locations. The only thing I enjoyed was the combat and the reworked class and power system. I was desperately trying to find any reason to keep playing but I gave up shortly after meeting the new reptile looking species (can't even remember their name, that's how much of an impact that game had on me). Everything just felt like a weaker copy of previous titles, especially the enemy encounters. The new robot things are a pale shadow of the Geth, the outlaw don't even come close to battling Cerberus and the new enemy guys are just not as threatening as the Reapers/Collectors. The multiplayer I did play quite a lot, it was fun just like ME3, I like that mindless horde battle type of co-op.
Compare it to ME2, which I own 3 copies of (2 on PS3 and one on PC... Still waiting for the trilogy remaster for PS4 come on now EA be nice for once ya bastards!) and have played it over and over again in every possible way and difficulty (Insanity difficulty is a bloody great challenge every single time!) For me personally 2 is the Magnum Opus of the series, and it introduced me to my first fictional character I've come to love as if it were real.
It has been close to a year that I bought Andromeda, haven't even thought about going back to finish it...
