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.

Playing it after almost 20 years after it came out. Yes it got a little bit old but the pleasure is still here. Love the story, the combat system, the exploration. This is such an immersive game plenty of nice stories and characters. This game will never be out of my all time list.
Probably the last good game series (1-2, Andromeda does not exist and 3 was mediocre) Bioware ever made. More well known these day's for the series abysmal, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ending than the overall quality of the series itself. The first game along with their other original title Dragon Age Origins are standout titles in that for a lot of people, when you think crpg or western rpg, you may be thinking of one of those two games. While for the older folks in the nursing homes it may be Baldur's Gate 1 & 2. Regardless, this is a great scifi rpg and even though the ending of it blew, you should still play through this one and even all three games at least once. Remember to romance the blue alien, its important for later - trust me.
Buggy as hell. Not recommended.
