Andromeda's gunplay was better but the gameplay as a whole was worse. The switch to an open world system wasn't handled well, you ended up with too mooch filler and not enough interesting story.

It felt like every side quest in ME1-3 was a little story in its own right that was worth exploring, with interesting and unique characters and plot twists. Andromeda was shallow by comparison, repetitive and not worth the time investment.

I completely agree about fans ruining things and the facial animations thing was way overblown, but let's not pretend that Andromeda was unfairly punished for minor issues and that fans are entirely responsible for it, there core game missed the mark on several fronts.

The gunplay was excellent though.

Agreed 100%, I got Andromeda at a heavy discount after more than a year after the release and I was still extremely disappointed. The animations are the least of the problems that the game had, it was just an soulless formulaic empty open world with terrible writing and horrible characters and dialogue.

If it weren't a mass effect game it'd just be a commercial flop and nobody would remember it in a month. Since it was, people were disappointed instead of being apathetic. It was by no means unfairly judged though, it is a bad game.
