One of the things that made the Mass Effect trilogy so good was how much attention they put into the story and lore, how you could ponder it like a proper sci-fi story. How they spent so much time designing how the missions and characters build into the progression of the campaign and unfold the lore as you go. And how that lore has a massive amount of interesting well-thought-out details about all the events and places of the galaxy.
Andromeda lacks all of that depth, from the get-go you start to question all the dumb and poorly written parts of the game, from the dialogue to the narrative.
Andromeda's story is the anti-Mass Effect story, it lacks all the cues and quality found in the original game. There are some cool things with the more open areas and there are certainly some good missions, but to enjoy Andromeda, you have to be able to look past the story, characters, and all the sheer stupidity. It's like watching Game of Thrones season 8 after you watched the LOTR trilogy.
