lots of good points but what mainly sticks out is in depth story and characters.
could do with a better assortment of weapons
Straight at the beginning after character customisation is complete where the choice of gender to different life backgrounds are possible, you Land on your feet Commanding the soon to be infamous spaceship the SSV Normandy, Which with a crew Among who other large role characters will reside, including many new allies that will fight right by your side. Together You will be tearing through a collection of Missions scattered around different worlds all over the Galaxy. I was happy with the Normandy serving as the primary mode of transportation as there is a lot of content Integrated within it and serves as a good home base. And would personally quite like one in real life. shame.
You reside in the year 2183. The task you have been given is to investigate a likely threat of an ancient alien race known as the reapers. Being apart of an alliance your duty Is to investigate any possible threats and therefore take action which is great as your abilities to free roam are fairly endless.
Interaction plays a big part in Mass Effect as the interaction menu is available with many characters which enable you to gather information needed To progress, as well as understanding different aspects of their Personal lives. this makes the game a lot more personal overall.
The ability to have two squad members of your selection by Your side results in being very productive throughout missions, as different characters have varied abilities. All these abilities are upgradeable with points within the game which you can assign to the characters individually. This is a good move I thought as you can expand what abilities you find most useful/comfortable. For an example, classes like engineer providing technology needs like Shields and in sync with the use of biotic class that can issue powerful attacks on those hard to get enemies, is very rewarding.
Having two squadmates with varied abilities like this with you, can prove to be Very useful. I found that maybe a bigger selection of weapons on this game could have been better, as has only a medium sized selection of handguns, shotguns and sniper rifles. But the game does make up for it in the level design of bizarre different Worlds and the busy cities that are available for exploration. Exploration playing a massive part as many of the weapon upgrades and discoverable findings will be scattered across in mission pickups and planet findings, as well as interacting with the other characters in the game. This can get tedious at points as it is not uncommon to have to review past conversations, go from point to point in every section of planets for the satisfaction of 100% completion.
Conclusion: all in all good game!
