Now that emotions have settled, what do you think about Mass Effect: Andromeda? Would you recommend it to a fan of ME 1-3? (rammy.site)

I know Andromeda has a poor reputation, and a lot of it stems from issues at release. I am just curious what people who have played it more recently think about it. I'm a Mass Effect fan, and it looks like I can pick Andromeda up for less than 5 dollars at most places. Is it worth 5 bucks?

Edit: Thank you guys so much for all the perspectives! I'm going to pick it up and give it a try.

Tbh it's not worth to taint your memory of ME with Andromeda. I tried to play it twice: once on release where I stopped because I couldn't care less for the story and a second time where o finished the game because I paid 60€ for it.

The combat it really nice, but that's it. The game has an open world shoehorned into it, even though ME doesn't need one. The characters are cringe because they try to invoce a familiarity that the characters in the original trilogy spend three games to build up. In the end I just found myself bored and simply wanted to finish the main quest. I devoured the original games and never wanted them to end.
