As a massive fan of the original ME trilogy, I was quite eagerly looking forward to Andromeda, but never got around to playing it because of all the negativity surrounding it, which I suppose makes me part of the problem. Though a few video reviews online did echo the points you made, I wasn't entirely sold, but this detailed breakdown makes me want to give the game a chance. I figure at least the goodwill earned by the original trilogy means we owe Andromeda that much.
Thank you for writing this.
