The Best Mass Effect Games, Ranked According to Metacritic

Mass Effect  – 88

The first Mass Effect introduced BioWare’s most successful series to date, introducing players to an expansive, original sci-fi universe. Mass Effect told the story of Commander Shepard, someone on the forefront of humanity’s expansion into the larger universe. The title helped define what player choice meant in video games, giving you options with real consequences, on top of a Paragon and Renegade morality system. However, the game had its own fair share of technical hiccups.

Currently, Mass Effect sits at an 88 on Metacritic based 125 critics across PS3, PC, and Xbox 360. User score is just about equal with an average of 8.5 based on over 2,000 ratings across the three systems.
