Mass Effect 2 has the best characters, which in turn delivers the best and most compelling story. To put some context to what I’m saying, I’d define it like this: Mass Effect has the best atmosphere, and execution of a world vision. But other elements of it are better than its successors - and as well as being deserving of your time in its own right, the game ultimately enriches its offspring. No amount of remastering was ever going to make that game feel good by modern standards. The first Mass Effect has a hell of a lot of lows simply due to its age. Each of the three games has its strengths and weaknesses, and each excels at something the others do not. That doesn’t just go for each individual game, but also for the trilogy as a whole. You often hear developers of these games, like Legendary Edition project lead and original trilogy writer Mac Walters describe the process of their creation as iterative. Or am I?Īnyway, the point is, if you skip the first Mass Effect, you’re missing out on some of the most interesting moments and elements that the series has to offer. I mean - I’m just joking, don’t fall out with them over it. Let me tell you right now - if anybody tells you to skip over ME1 and just start with the second game in the series, ignore them. But in the case of the former, I’ve noticed one trend that I think sucks: the widespread advice to skip over the first Mass Effect game. High quality remasters like Mass Effect Legendary Edition and NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139 are prompting replays, reevaluation and hearty discussion of these classics. To me, it feels like the video game community online is currently in the middle of a glorious time warp back to the early 2010s. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. But if you jump straight to Mass Effect 2, you’re a wrong’un.
