Mass Effect is one of my top three game series of all time.

Mass Effect is one of my top three game series of all time. Between Mass Effect 1, 2, 3, and Andromeda, I probably spent somewhere around 600 hours with this series. I spent a great deal of time with all four games, but the way I approached the trilogy probably says the most about how invested I was. I was mapping out choices in the first game, already planning for what was going to happen in the third. I had a series of what I considered to be the perfect playthrough. I wanted to think through those decisions and carry them across the whole trilogy. It has one of the best storylines of any game series I have ever played. Some of the best characters. Some of the best voice acting. Absolutely amazing series, and one I recommend more highly than just about any other. With EA now confirming the closure of BioWare and the end of early development on the next Mass Effect, I wanted to talk about what these games mean to me. Whatever happens to the franchise from here, the four games we already have are a huge part of my gaming history. If you have never played Mass Effect, I strongly recommend it. Start with the first game, carry your decisions through the trilogy, and give yourself the chance to see why people got so attached to this universe.
