Mass Effect Andromeda was a good, if flawed game- but the word of mouth around it grew so toxic and out of hand that there were many players who refused to play it. As a result, the game has gone on firesale price level discounts multiple times since launch- however, for many, it was not enough to pick up the game and try it out on its own merits.
Hopefully, getting it for free might be- EA has confirmed that Mass Effect Andromeda will be coming to EA Access (and its PC counterpart service Origin Access), meaning that as long as you are subscribed to the service- which, at $30 a year, you have no reason not to be as long as you have a machine it supports- then you can try the game out for free, for yourself, and hopefully give it a go separate from all the baggage that it carries.
Apart from Mass Effect Andromeda, you can also pick up Dead Space 3 on EA Origin on Xbox One; early access trials for Star Wars Battlefront 2 and Need for Speed Payback on Xbox One, will also be available. So yes, this is a good haul all around.
