This is the way I would describe this game, if I could only use a few words.

I won't post any spoilers about the story at all, because this game is a journey!


I am going to make this super short. People who already played the games before, know what is going on and new players should really go into this game completly blind!

You are Commander Shepard and you are on your way to investigate an incident on one of the human colonies. The mission goes not as planned. On top of that you find out that there is a hidden threat lurking in the dark corners of the universe.
Now it is up to you to unravel the truth! Gather a team, meet strange aliens, explore planets and fly through the galaxy! Write your own story and decide if you want to be a hero or a villain!

I just want to highlight that everything you do in this game have consequences. Even during the character creation you can decide what background story your Shepard has. This will also reflect how some NPCs react to you. Decisions you made in ME1 might change how things (NPCs or Missions) are going to be in ME2.


This just needs to be part of this review. For most people Mass Effect is more about your crew than anything else. While playing you will meet a lot of people, but those that stay with you and those that fight alongside you are going to always have a special place in your heart. Each one of them has a unique story to tell and comes with their own personality. It is just something you can't really describe if you didn't play the game at all, but you will know... Have fun getting to know them better and better as the game progresses.

Also you can practically romance nearly anyone of them.


To make it quick: You talk to people and get missions. On these missions you shoot (Sometimes even talk) your way out and get EXP and money. Just the usual RPG experience. The missions are squad based! This means that you always have two mates going on the missions alongside you.

There is also a moral system added. You can either be a good person or a bad person. This will reflect in some dialogue options and in some actions you can take during the game. The world also sometimes reflects how you managed to solve situations like that.

Example: If someone aims at you with a gun you can either talk to him and try to tell him to back off, or you simply let the situation escalate and shoot him.

Lets take a closer look:

The Combat:
The combat feels like your average third-person cover shooter. Hide behind a corner and shoot whatever gets infront of your gun! Bioware-like you can always pause the game mid combat and give your two squad mates orders (Get to that point; Use ability X). You too have some nice abilities as well. During the character creation you can decide which class you want to play. You have your average soldier (Who can use all weapons!), but you also have classes like a space wizard (I can't remember the name right now) or engineer. Each class has its own pros and cons and different abilities.

The RPG Part:
If you are not on a mission you can just casually walk around in the hub worlds and talk to NPCs or your crewmembers. If you ever played any Bioware games before you know what you can expect. The dialogues are well made and even if they are going on for minutes, they are never boring. My favourite part was always to talk to all the Aliens and find out more about their Species.

I also mentioned the Good/Evil thing before. Those options are well integrated into the dialogues and can even add a lot more options to solve issues or to get bonus rewards and hidden informations.


A good game doesn't need good graphics, but Mass Effect still holds up to this day! Nothing to complain about here!


They just managed to pull out such a great soundtrack! it is amazing and it fits the whole game very well!

This game is a masterpiece! It is totally worth it! If you are still not sure if you want to get it or not, you should play this game via the "EA PLAY" pass to safe some cash. You won't regret it I promise!
