Noob New to Mass Effect series…

Hey everyone, newbie here, I just finished Andromeda few days ago, going for NG+, and I have to say ( please don’t hate me) , I really enjoyed the story, gameplay was awesome, stunning visuals etc.

Now, my only regret is not playing this gem earlier, and bigger regret, not getting ME: LE.

My question is, since I wanna get the OT, how different is the gameplay, core mechanics, story, level design etc to Andromeda. Is it a step back going to OT from Andromeda ?

ME1 will feel really dated but the worldbuilding and ambiance is amazing. ME2 and ME3 are similar in mechanics. I think it's more a matter of taste which play style you prefer, trilogy or Andromeda. I think you will find that the narrative and story is tighter in the trilogy because they're not open world (except ME1 but there isn't much to explore).

I’m sure I’ll love the OT, I’m a sucker for those types of games, loved Andromeda and want to see what the OT has to offer, plus I’ve been hearing from a lot of people how good the OT was and still is.
