Tried twice, but the gameplay feels so clunky while the story (which most people love) seems to have been long surpassed.
A legendary introduction to the greatest video game trilogy of all time.
The weakest enter in my eyes that is hemmoragged by outdated design a fun combat system with a basic but intriguing plot with some brilliant twists, the characters are okay in the first game but get far better later on. The foundation that the other games seem to have strayed away from a little.
Saren had the right idea idk
first "high tier" game i played back when i was a kid and really liked it but i think it was my least favorite of the 3

Wonderful stroll down memory lane.
Sovereign will always be cool and hot, did you see the way he grabs onto the Citadel 😳😳😳😳😳

The Combat can get a bit monotonous at times and the side quests are a bit useless but Mass Effect has some of my favorite lore in any piece of media. It’s just so interesting.
What an awesome, in-depth sci-fi RPG hope they don't dumb the sequel down to a generic action game!
most choices don't really make any difference and the combat is pretty clunky but once you get used to it, it can be pretty fun. what really sets the game back though is the side content, which is all just really bad
The side stuff is all quite shallow, the exploration and all that, but the main story is probably the best of the trilogy.
For a 17 year old game, it holds up really well (even if you aren't playing the LE)
The start to one of my favorite game franchises ever.
+10 points because they invented Garrus in this game.

All these years later it is hard to separate this game from the trilogy as a whole, but in hindsight, the first Mass Effect is a really interesting sci-fi adventure that set the stage for greatness.
Part of the problem stems from the fact that this title did not come to Playstation until well after I had already fallen in love with the sequel. And while it might measure up to it's successors in narrative and concepts, the mechanics of functioning in this universe had taken a huge leap between games.

Hey this one's just ok, there are real mechanical issues that the remaster doesn't fix, but at the end of the day, this game spawned one of the single most interesting space opera narratives ever written. You should probably play this one before you dive into the other two, but it's far more vegetables than dessert in that metaphor.
it is a video game equivalent of wonderbread
but it's nice to have wonderbread from time to time

A classic from Bioware and one of their best RPGs. The story is the best in the series and this game also does everything right in terms of gameplay. Great soundtrack, great party interaction and some really difficult decisions. The exploration of foreign planets with the Mako was a bit lame but also quite funny :D
What can you really say about the game that took the world by storm? It's a janky, hacky, buggy mess in terms of gameplay, but its story and characters were so compelling it continues to be copied by newer games almost 20 years after its release.
I started the game with high expectations, espacially regarding the story, but i was quite disappointed. The game's narrative failed to engage me and was very forgettable.
No other fictional world has quite the same grip on me as this has, this is my GOAT.
i started my journey with this series because of my love of KOTOR and man does this start have so many shades of the first KOTOR.
as a start to a trilogy this does it's job, there is a good sense that this is the beginning of something greater just from the first moment. there's things i didn't like but once the games on you get use to it and they become fun!
i think what hooked me was the characters and wanting to see where their arcs ended up, including shepard!

Melhor história da franquia. Realmente se sustenta por conta própria.
I feel like age has done this game a disservice because being able to play this back to back with ME2 shows how scuffed the game part of this game really is. The world and universe shines the most in this title and I feel like that is mostly because everything else in the game is kind of a slog. That being said the universe of Mass Effect is incredibly interesting and the Hanar are one of the most truly alien feeling species I can think of in a video game.
kaidan alenko is literally one of the best video game characters of all time
WOW THAT SUCKED
Envejecio
regular
sigue pareciendo como si estuvieras abriendo una enciclopedia en medio juego, pero se cobra con una MUY buena historia

first time i played this i had to quit bc the mako gameplay made me dizzy, came back for the remaster and enjoyed the story and the mako fixes! i will never forget the first time hearing sovereign's voice - THAT is how you introduce a villain and set the tone for the true horror of what's to come in the trilogy.
The story carries it from being just okay into the 'Good' tier. memorable characters & setting.
Jogo é maneiro, tem uma história bacana sendo um bom inicio de saga, achei a main quest do jogo meio curta e as sides pouco interessantes. Gameplay simples, inimigos esponja, um bom jogo pra sua epoca, vou jogar o 2 e o 3 com toda a certeza
ME 1 itself is average, but when played together with its sequels, it's f*ing amazing
i fw this heavy
