So Commander Shepherd.

Not really, since Shepard doesn't have a voice in their head that tells them how to act, what to do and where to go, while also solving every problem for them (out of pity, SAM leaves little picture "puzzles" so Ryder the toddler can get a little brain exercise. what a nice AI master), that also empowers them to do the fighting, since without experience and skill, Ryder is just a chump (and is now entirely reliant on SAM, since didn't have a chance to get any) who was lucky enough to have a sentimental dad who left an unshackled AI in the hands of a greenhorn. Good thing SAM is more than capable enough to pick up all the slack for a bumbling buffoon.

(Sure, the originals had their questionable bullcrap, but it's nothing on this level. This single thing made sure it was crap from the beginning to the end for me. There's more, of course, but eh...)

Andromeda is good enough for a lighthearted playthrough, Ryder the character is nothing compared to Shepard, for sure. Funnily enough, most of the time I put into Andromeda was the multiplayer mode. I kind of wish they had supported it longer. They also just cut the quarian dlc, and had it made into a book or whatever.
