I played the first Mass Effect trilogy a few years ago, late to the party. I loved the trilogy and played them right after the other. When ME Andromeda came out, I waited a while for the price to come down, as well as for patches, etc to take care of any launch issues (which I usually do with all games). I heard there were many bad reviews, but didn't read any, for fear of tainting the experience, since I knew I was going to play the game eventually regardless.
I thoroughly enjoyed the game, getting addicted and playing every day for hours. I played most of the side quests as well as the main campain, having a great time. No better feeling than getting a planet suitable for an outpost.
Hopefully there will be a second (and third) ME Andromeda in the series.
