This trilogy offers an amazing narrative, accompanied by a tremendous cast of characters who are voiced masterfully. As an RPG title, the player must make decisions throughout the game and it is these decisions that decide what kind of hero the player is A paragon, or a renegade. Mass Effect is one of the few games that makes one actually want to hear out everything a character has to say as it’s ever interesting to discover new things in this vast universe of planets, alien life, and new technology.
Throughout the trilogy, the narrative is superb. All 3 games are well satisfactory by the end, especially ME2 which is quite a fabulous cinematic experience. Mass Effect 3, for the most part is epic. Its narrative for 98% of the game is truly engaging, and despite all the trouble ME3 got for its original ending, new players shouldn’t find that unfortunate conclusion as the Extended Cut Ending offers something more satisfying.
The graphics are outstanding, even for the original, released in 2007. Mass Effect 2 and 3, however, are the ones that stand out the most. It’s beautiful to look at the environments; the level design, for the most part of the games, is so varied and detailed. The lens flares are very J.J. Abrams style and they just give that beautiful aesthetic touch to the game. Cutscenes are also impeccable.
Gameplay is enjoyable, as the player will find to his or her disposal a varied arsenal of powers and weapons. For the 1st and 2nd games, it’s mostly a cover-shoot system. It’s in ME3 where the player will meet a larger need to use strategy as the levels are much more open and enemy AIs are smarter, especially in hard mode.
This trilogy, in the big picture, doesn’t suffer of that many big flaws that break the experience. Mass Effect 1 is probably the only game where that feeling of repetitiveness is present. Some level designs, especially side-missions, consist of similar level layouts that can feel overdone at one point. Driving the tank “Mako” at the beginning of certain missions can prove irritating if the player doesn’t save and gets killed, making him/her start the segment over. Mass Effect 2 and 3 thankfully don’t have these problems.
The Mass Effect franchise is full of sci-fi adventure, and it will touch the player’s heart, sometimes it’s a good feeling, sometimes it can get very sad. By the end it’s a very enjoyable, epic, fun, and satisfactory journey that will be remembered and will have the player come back to experience it over and over again.… Expand
