Instead, I was so put off by the ending that I haven't played any of them since. I specifically remember planning to play through all three games again back-to-back-to-back immediately after beating the third for the first time. I expected the 'trilogy' to be one of those series like Zelda or Fallout that I would revisit years (or decades) later and always find (or rediscover) something to enjoy. 'Mass Effect 3' (2012) brings the trilogy to a close through a more somber, war-focused story about loss and consequence.īefore ME3 came out, I had played ME1 and ME2 over and over. 'Mass Effect 2' (2010) is a miscreant adventure centered on building a ragtag squad, culminating in a final 'suicide' mission where everyone's survival is on the line.

'Mass Effect' (2007) is a classic sci-fi thriller, where Shepard races to stop a turncoat operative hungry for power. Key choices carry through all three games, whether it's who survives, or who you ally yourself with. 'Mass Effect' follows Commander Shepard - a hero players can customize for looks and gender - across three games as they wage war against a galactic threat known as the Reapers. From a report: There is no series like 'Mass Effect' - even when it comes to BioWare's other choice-driven RPGs like 'Dragon Age.' 'Mass Effect' is a big ol' space adventure first and foremost, but it's also about loyalty, love, and tough calls. The iconic spacefaring adventure 'Mass Effect' is back today with 'Mass Effect: Legendary Edition,' a single, remastered version of all three games.
