Was this a good open world 3rd person game?
Yes.
Was this a good continuation of original trilogy game?
No.

After 83 hours, a year and a half and a trilogy of the original Mass Effect, I finally decided to write this review. What most reviewers say is unfortunately true. Andromeda has nothing to do with the original trilogy except for a few audio logs/logs found on the Andromeda ship. The logs themselves won't tell you much except why and how you ended up in another Galaxy, which most people will find out in the first half of the game. HOWEVER, even though this game has nothing to do with the original trilogy, I thoroughly enjoyed this game even after the weaker 15 hour "prologue". After completing the prologue and finally starting the game, I started to finally and properly enjoy the open world in 5 larger maps and one smaller map (which is still quite packed with missions and places to explore).
There are a lot of gameplay and options to progress through the game and battles (however, it's better if you additionally download mods that allow you to enjoy the game/battles even more) and I rarely experienced boredom. However, the worst decisions the developers could have made were the cutscenes of boarding both the ship and the ship to the Andromeda main station, etc. (Which took me 1 hour and 30 something minutes after completing the game to 100%) Therefore, I would use a mod for this "event".
As for the main and secondary characters in the game, I can only say this. From the beginning of the game, when I gradually got to know all the crew members and got to know them through dialogues or missions, I really thought they were all idiots and most of them drank my blood through their stupid and generally dry remarks. Anyway, towards the end of the game. Better to say, for the last 10 hours towards the end of the game, I rather liked them all, and Vetra's transition line really intrigued me so much that I ended up having a "romance" with her (Her missions were just a cherry on top of her whole persona). The only one that didn't suit me personally was ``our'' blue fool Palessaria, but that's probably just my personality.

In closing, I would like to say that although this game is not like our beloved original Mass Effect trilogy (for me MS2) I would still like to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the game and became engrossed in both the story and the exploration of the different worlds that were both accessible by space ship or just by scanner.

Overall I would give this game 7/10

BUT IF YOU WANT BETTER EXPERIENCE, PLAY IT WITH MODS (some mods no longer work and backtracking the game to older versions of the game is no longer possible, but you can still play with half of em)!!
