I loved Andromeda, and I wanted more planets to terraform. And more things to do on them.

However, the game was objectively bad.

First of all, you go out terraforming, and you only need to do like a third of the quests to reach 100%. Clearing the enemy base isn’t even required! So what do you get after 100%? Nothing! What does 100% give you? An achievement.

The first planet you terraform asks if you want it to focus on science or military. Does this even matter? The other planets don’t ask.

Once you do all the terraforming, it’s just fetch quests until the end. Talk to your crew mate on the ship — not on the planet. So you get on the ship and watch the takeoff movie for the tenth time. Talk to them on the ship and they want to go back to the same planet you just left!

Or the mission where you track the anti AI terrorists to their base and the pacifist option involves crafting which means you have to get on your ship, take off, land again, and then go all the way back to their base, which is only accessible by Billy goating up a mountain Skyrim style.

The rating also promises nudity and strong sexual content and the game is PG-13 at best in that regard. Mass Effect got a bad rap from the first one. My Ryder was flirting with a few people but eventually the options just disappeared. Actually the most tame Mass Effect.

I could say a lot more, but I still loved this game. I understand the criticism though.
