A Universo of depth, adventure and exploration. A RPG Sensation
The game is about galactic peace but the story follows your conquest trying to solve the many problems of the many worlds. Take command of your own future with your own armour, weapons and crew, explore many planets across the galaxy as you earn skill and credits the in game currency. The basic game format is a friendly RPG style the HUD displays your health and your weapons and simple things such as your Grenades and a handy tool your Omni Gel. Your character is adjustable and always with the customize option, the pause menu is a very useful tool as it holds your codex, journals maps and more , and in a world this big you need every bit of help and guidance you can get so if your new to the game or even a bit lost the pause menu is a great place to start, it also helps you check and update your character progress, with the skill points earned through out the game. Unlocking various different abilities for your character to harness.
The games progression makes the full experience feel like you are part of the world as you take charge of your own purchases, life style and even your approach to over people , you are constantly evolving in your own world.
Many elements come together to make this game a personal success such as the character dialogue, which is a very nice quality to add to the experience, the voice record sessions must have went on for hours because of the games many paths you can go to when choosing your spoken responses , the terms renegade and paragon which is basically the in game version of good and bad are the 2 different paths. The graphics in the game are quite descent and are absolutely up to standards the galaxy map even though not that complicated is really stunning as you choose your next destination in the many star clusters of the galaxy. The sound effects in the game help build the experience as this game as a truly sci-fi RPG revelation.
The games many different routes is what i believe makes this game playable for many hours, with endless sub missions and miles of planetary exploration to be drove in the 'Mako' the Normandy's very own moon buggy complete with machine guns, cannon's, and jet boosters what more can you ask for.
If your a fan of sci-fi or RPG you will love Mass Effect, the history and depth of the game knows no bounds , as you forge your own career in a future of politics, war and intergalactic racism, its all these things and more which built my verdict of this game to a 9/10 , so enjoy your space travelling and thank you for reading,
