It’s a good game. I think it needs more content to make complete.

I liked it, though there's a lot less story than the first three games

You should play it. Personally, I still think it needs some polishing. There are still quite a few bugs and glitches in the game that damper the experience, but still, it's worth playing if you love the ME universe.

Andromeda was a good game and didn't deserve the level of hate it got. Was it as great as the original trilogy? No, but it was a good solid RPG with some bugs that were not dealbreakers. I've played through probably 4 times, it's worth your time.

Yeah, as much as I trash on it ME:A is far from a bad game.... just kinda annoying sometimes, storywise, but gameplay is pretty good.

Side note: Be aware that you might find most humans looking more alien than the actual aliens.... and asari look the same, literally, they're the same model except for Peebee

Its worth trying. Just keep in mind that it's a slow start. Not much happens to peek interest until after EOS. And keep in mind it's not a continuation of the original trilogy. Play as a separate RPG game entirely. It is more slapstick and light hearted than the original dark trilogy as well.

Andromeda has its issues, but I still enjoyed it and I think it has plenty of story potential for sequels to explore

Good game, GREAT gameplay, story pales in comparison to original trilogy by light years, but it has it’s moments. Worth playing, just think of it more like a spin off than a true sequel.

Story is garbage in comparison to the original trilogy but the mechanics and gameplay are pretty solid. Probably not possible in your situation but I think it’s better if you play ME: A before you play the original trilogy
