But ultimately, all you’re getting here is less than one-third of the epic experience. All the in-game help you could need can also be turned on, or you can just have it all automated so all you need to do is sit back and enjoy the ride.

Planet to planet, character to character, the game delivers the goods on almost every level, but when the space dust clears the end is truly realised - something almost unheard of in the videogame landscape.ĮA and BioWare have been readily talking up the idea that if you’ve never played Mass Effect before, this third chapter is the perfect place to start.
