What was Andromeda missing?

Main planets and the Nexus are pretty much stagnant and empty -except the main mission objectives.
Exploration is limited to only main planets and locations needed to complete main or companion missions.
Story is simple: they attacked us, they the enemy, we attack the enemy, nevertheless there is no real resolution at the end.
Character introductions and story missions seem pretty rushed if not half-done.
Many characters could have been written better -for many as they are now they are just mediocre.
The romance aspect would have been much better removed for they are just plain forgettable.
Combat is rather fluid but the limit of 3 abilities makes game play limiting.
The jet pack is one way to get past this limitation -but in conjunction with the 3 power limit can make game play infuriating.
The end comes a bit abruptly and can leave you with a disillusionment of more to come -which you will not get.
Still the game was entertaining to play through once.
If playing on PC there are mods to that make it have a bit more replay value -infinite jet pack mode and multi-power slots
The game was restarted in development about only 18 months before release -no RPG can be made in that span -it is not a FPS.
This game reminds me of another game released over a decade ago called KOTOR 2 or Knights of the Old Republic 2.
KOTOR 2 is a game -like Mass Effect: Andromeda that was only partially done before release.

I will give it three stars -since it was an entertaining play the first few times.
I however am done with the game by now.

This breaks down to yet another EA AAA Studio travesty.
My two cents:
EA should let the studio spend the time necessary to get the game done correctly.
If that means retracting a release date back into TBA or TBD state so be it.
Have some backbone and take it off the market if you want to make money!
