It is entirely possible that we're just whitewashing the story because the rest of the game was so fun. That's true.
But that doesn't say a whole lot about this game, if that's the case.
EDIT :

Trying to convince someone who's opinion is already filled with vitrol is just a waste of energy.
I generally don't read reviews, they're not bias. They're filled with personal opinions and if they have any hang ups from previous games, it shines through.
I usually focus on the technical aspects of the reviews. Stories that are engaging for some will not be engaging for others. "Boring characters" will be amazing for others. It's all a personal preference and how you click with the game, the story and the characters.
Personally, I like the narrative. I watched the whole game on Youtube and I can confidently say that some of the criticism is warranted. The animation in really stiff in some parts, Cora's arms need an adjustment when she's walking. Legs have weird physics if you're running on the Nexus. Some of the writing out of context is cheese level 9000 but I like that, I like cheesy stuff. I appreciate the lame jokes.
It all depends on your personal preference. Some people like the narrative in Magic of Reccluce while others like the narrative of War of the Worlds. Some people love the Witcher 3 and Skyrim while others like me, absolutely think the games are garbage.
Personal preference.

Since I'm getting repeatedly asked what I think about Andromeda reviews, I'll give a simple answer: people are entitled to their thoughts. It's obviously a polarizing game to critics. They're just numbers, but a 75-78 isn't bad at all. They range from good to okay. I don't like to focus on scores so much, but since so many do, something like MGSV is nowhere near a 93 to me. Likewise a game like The Order 1886 deserves more than a 63 Metacritic to in my opinion. One of my favorite games this gen, Wolfenstein: The New Order sits at a 79. These things genuinely don't bother me. I enjoy seeing what others think about video games. In the end, I'm loving my time w/ Mass Effect: Andromeda, it's story & characters, as many others are. Numbers don't change that. Hopefully BioWare can take all this feedback into account for the future

All of the articles agree on a common set of positives and negatives. The score would be higher if many of the tech issues were non-existent. .... pity their not.
Also there are questionable design choices like crafting necessitating going back and forth from one end of the Tempest to the other end.
The good news is that I will end up buying the game but I need a hardware upgrade so I might as well wait and buy it on sale.

I can't wait to hear what the devs tweet this morning... they promised the game would get better and it clearly doesn't. I never thought I would live in a world where a Bioware game was criticized for bad writing, cringeworthy dialogue, lack of meaningful choices, and bland cast of companions.... facial animation glitches seem like the least of their problems now. :'( ,.-~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸-(_MEA_)-,.-~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸
To be fair, not all reviewers felt that way or to the same degree. Plus, other parts of the game made up for some of the shortcomings. Still, I believe Bio let the GOTY awards slip from their hands due to over ambition in the graphics department to the detriment of their main core strengths.

Basically doing a completionist run of Andromeda for my review. 4/5 Outposts at 100%, most loyalties done..and still at 45% game completion. Despite the facial animation shitshow (not talking about the game), having fun. Trying not to let others paint their experience over mine. There's a lot of good and some portion of bad. But enjoying myself so far. Not even focusing on main story, I'm digging the side stories. What I'm trying to say is if you play #MEAndromeda... play it for yourself. Don't focus on what everyone tells you to. Just ride it out. That's the best advice, play the game yourself and don't let others color your opinion.

Are they now? I read one review and they keep bashing the things the other review is praising to heavens. And I know it happens for other games, but it's quite extreme in case of this one. Like... one review tears side-questing apart, only for other to call in them excellent and t main strength of the game Some other says that characters are lackluster, while others claim that it's characters that keep them going. Others say that combat is meh, for others to claim that it's superb. To say that this is confusing is an understatement. I mean... confusing for people who'd like to make an informed decision based just on reviews alone. I think I'm glad I actually decided to spoil myself a bit and watch people stream the game and came to many of my own conclusions, because even with me not really paying that much attention to mainstream reviews I'd be stumped. It seems that many people have many ideas about what Andromeda is or should be... which is not surprising, considering the legacy AND controversies of ME. This was not going to be an easy follow-up, regardless how polished it was, though some issues don't help. Regardless, I'm waiting for my copy to arrive and I'm going to give it a try and I expect to enjoy it, though - like with any other RPG - it'll probably take me A LOT of time to say how much I like it and all of its elements. I think the world at large will need its time too.

I don't know what you mean by going back and forth for crafting. There's one terminal for research and crafting. You need to go elsewhere to do the loadout, but that's it. I agree that there are some questionable design choices, but that's not one of them.
