The culmination of the original Mass Effect trilogy. Lots of choices as usual, and they determine the fate of the galaxy. Despite the ending(s) being controversial, it is a very good game.

What' good

  • Dialog
  • Story and Setting
  • Characters
  • Music

What' not so

  • Not all endings are equal
  • Animations
  • Combat

ME3, after an action-packed gameplay intro sequence, opens with a banger of a soundtrack, by none other than Clint Mansell!

End of days indeed.

At least we have Garrus. GARRUS! Seriously, he's the best. Folks would have rioted at Bioware if they had killed him off. Brandon Keener does an amazing job voicing him.

GARRUS!

The reaper concept is mind-blowing. The design, the sound, the sheer size of it, what a presence to behold.

Shepard's place is amazing. I mean, look at that view! The side quest culminating in the party was the most fun I've had with a game in a long time. The references to everything you do in the previous two games, subtly in the dialog, and the variety of characters you can invite, depending on your past choices, it's simply marvelous.

What's your plan! You'll shoot the reaper?

Hecking amazing!

What a ride! What a journey! What a game!

Definitely one of the best games ever made. Warrants a couple of play-throughs at least!


On other note, there are some great ME memes out there. Even Michael Scott joins the crew at a point.

Can't wait for the next Mass Effect. Hope it's not like Andromeda (combat they can pick from it though :p).
