But Mass Effect 1 tried to do more than both, serving as a fully functional role-playing game as well as being a fully-formed shooter. Certainly action/RPGs had been done before, and even shooters/RPGs like the classic Deus Ex. My recommendation to start with Mass Effect 2 doesn’t take that potential power away - it’s still a damn special game if it hits you right.īut, well…the nice way to put this is that Mass Effect 1 is experimental, so it might not hit you right. Everything cool in a space RPG seems possible in ME1, and that’s what gives it its power. More than the other two games in the trilogy, Mass Effect 1 is about the possibility space. Also I personally got into the series via Mass Effect 1, and the reasons for that remain valid: the feeling of a wide galaxy to explore, the nods at some of my favorite science fiction, and that dazzling initial set of quests on the Citadel. After all, I believe all three games are of roughly equal quality, and the series is famous for choices made in one game transferring into the next and the next after that. That’s not an easy thing for me to write. If you want to get into the Mass Effect series, y ou should probably skip Mass Effect 1 - at least for a bit -unless you’ve got a really high tolerance for janky older role-playing games and shooters - or if you really love space opera like Star Trek or Babylon 5 and actively dislike darker thrillers like Battlestar Galactica. It’s not the easiest thing in the world to catch up on - so here are my recommendations.
But the series has had changes, controversies, and a whole pile of confusing DLC. With the impending release of Mass Effect: Andromeda, a bunch of people are replaying or starting the Shepard trilogy.
