Mass Effect (2007)
The original 2007 Mass Effect: you are Commander Shepard, hunting the traitor Saren with two squadmates, through third-person shootouts you pause to use powers, a dialogue wheel and planets you roam in the Mako.
Why play it now
When you have dozens of hours for a space opera where your answers nudge you toward idealism or a hard line.
Who it's for
For anyone who wants to start the trilogy with the original and enjoys mixing gunfights with dialogue and dilemmas.
When not to pick it
If clumsy vehicles and fiddly menus drive you mad: the Mako and the inventory wear thin.
