I couldn't tell you how good it was, I was too busy falling through the floor or having important story missions be unable to be finished because of how buggy and unfinished it was.
honestly, for me it was the opposite. I thought the story was lackluster for Andromeda, and the gameplay to be the best in the series. I never encountered any of the glitches people freaked out about and I was a day 1 buyer.
For me it was the writing. When the flirt option (and it was the only flirt option available) with an
NPC was my character literally asking "What do I have to do to get you to flirt with me?" I accepted that it was not for me.
So I went back and replayed the 3 other games instead and enjoyed Garrus/FemShep all over again. Testing out his reach and my flexibility and him savouring the last shot before popping the heat sink. His and Tali's romances were the best in the series, I think. The romantic part not beginning until the second game really helped them feel more like a real love story than, say, Ashley or Kaidan as it felt that it took time for them to get to know each other and that their feelings grew over the course of the story. Just felt like it developed naturally, in my opinion.
