Each decision you make will impact not only your fate, but the destiny of the entire galaxy in the Mass Effect trilogy.
Key Features:

Unleash devastating abilities as you command and train. Your decisions will control the outcome of each mission, your relationships with your crew and ultimately the entire war.
An amazing universe to explore. From the massive Citadel to the harsh, radioactive landscape of the Krogan home world – the incredible breadth of the Mass Effect universe will blow you away. Travel to the farthest outposts aboard the SSV Normandy, the most technologically advanced ship in the galaxy. You'll follow the clues left by ancient civilizations, discover hidden bases with fantastic new tech and lead your hand-picked crew into explosive alien battles.
Edge-of-your-seat excitement meets strategic combat. Find the perfect combination of squad-mates and weapons for each battle if you want to lead them to victory. Sun-Tzu's advice remains as pertinent in 2183 as it is today – know your enemy. You'll need different tactics for a squad of enemies with devastating biotic attacks than a heavily armored Geth Colossus so choose your teams wisely.Show more

The perfect beginning of the Mass Effect series and my favourite game from this legendary action RPG franchise. Amazing cinematic story-telling that stands well on its own and as a prologue to a wider story. A perfect blend of RPG mechanics and third person shooting. Lots of choices and consequences that can be imported into the sequels. While the same import feature is not unique, nobody pulled it off as well as the mass Effect trilogy did!
PS. Mako is the best vehicle. I don't care what anyone else says. I've had tons of fun goofing around with it!
For those that forget and those that never experienced it, what an incredible feeling to boot up and begin playing this game. You totally believed you had stepped into this huge new universe. It felt so large in its scale and ambition. Sure, by today's standards, many of the games locations, mechanics or interactions will seem dated or quaint but it is certainly one of my all time top gaming memories when you first see and board the Normandy. The music that plays in the citadel is also burned into my brain.
I don't even know where to start with Mass Effect. It is my all time favourite game. Even now I can slip back into it like my favourite pair of jeans. I've played through form start to finish over 30 times (not one of them with a renegade spin) but the best moment - no matter how many times I've done it - is letting the fifth fleet through the relay to save the council. The gravitas of that moment is just something else.
The Mass Effect Series (1,2 and 3 not legendary) is the best space game series ever created in my opinion. I loved these games and still play them every few years. Get the whole collection with ALL the DLC's and I will buy them!
I liked the weapon-cooldown combat system a lot more than the ammo-based one in the sequels. Being an ammo hoarder I avoided any shooting builds in all sequels (Andromeda too)
Just loved the whole trilogy, how choices from each part influence the story and characters' developments in later parts.
I made three or four separate playthroughs of the whole trilogy for every romance combination I liked.
The game mechanic bonuses from playing through with different classes made replays more fun.
Luckily some people uploaded all the elevator and vehicle talk combinations to youtube =)

The game is broken up into levels, each of which is a flat plane divided into areas and rooms by a grid-based pattern of walls and doors, all of equal height. Each level is themed after Nazi bunkers and buildings. To finish a level, the player must traverse through the area to reach an elevator. Levels are grouped together into named episodes, with the final level focusing on a boss fight with a particularly difficult enemy. While traversing the levels, the player must fight Nazi guards and soldiers, dogs, and other enemies while managing supplies of ammunition and health.
While later releases of the game included the Nocturnal Missions expansion, this initial release did not.Action Fantasy Historical Horror Science fiction
