Mass Effect is a 2007 action role-playing game developed by BioWare and published by Microsoft Game Studios for the Xbox 360. It is the first game in the Mass Effect series, and takes place within the Milky Way galaxy in the year 2183, where civilization is threatened by a highly advanced machine race known as the Reapers. The player assumes the role of Commander Shepard, an elite human soldier who must stop a rogue agent from carrying out the Reapers' galactic invasion. The game involves completing multiple quests that generally involve space exploration, squad and vehicular combat, and interaction with non-player characters.
Runs well on modern hardware.

My favorite of the original trilogy, many choices, many ways to play, very good RPG and most importantly, it doesn't ask you to install the EA app to play the game, 10/10.
Playing it for the first time in my life, almost 18 years after the release date, I have to say: It's still a great game. Despite being TPP it's not a cover shooter. Works on linux which was a nice surprise. The story is great, makes me want to try out ME2.
Bit old school on the graphic but great story and game play
