Perhaps not so different now, but certainly there has been a lot of change since the start of last generation. The jump in production quality and shift in mechanics from Mass Effect 1 to Mass Effect 2 is very significant. And the review says "Andromeda may have worked a decade ago on the PS3 and Xbox 360" - a decade ago was 2007. Pre-Mass Effect 2*
*Pre-Mass Effect 1 technically, which was a November '07 release

Just like I would have had a much higher opinion of FFXV if I had never played any other Final Fantasy game, or The Witcher, or Zelda, or Dark Souls etc. To say Andromeda would have felt like a better game if it existed in a world where Mass Effect 2 and 3 hadn't been made is a reasonable point.
