Was Mass Effect: Andromeda that bad?
Gameplay wise? No, it was loads of fun to play.
However, the animations were terrible even after they “fixed” it.
The writing was terrible, with a generic plot, dialogue that consisted of quippy one-liners and little else, and characters that were shallow and one-dimensional.
And the game was buggy and unstable with multiple CTDs even years after release.
Personally, I just never played it. Plenty of folks liked it eventually.
For me, Andromeda couldn’t hold my attention. Multiplayer was more fun, but that’s only because I cheated a bunch and posted my “accomplishments” in the ME Coop subreddit until they gave me a permaban.

In a vacuum, it was middling in all aspects and with some terrible technical and artistic issues, but it was okay. But it didn’t exist in a vacuum. It didn’t live up to the relative success of Inquisition, and was an unworthy successor of the Shepard trilogy.
