An often underrated game in the Mass Effect franchise, Mass Effect 1 is not the personal favorite of a lot of Mass Effect players. The games combat has problems, the surroundings may seem very empty. A lot of complains come from players that try the trilogy out now. Obviously this game lacks some things. It is from 2007. But I have to disagree with the most above. For me it was my absolute favorite, story wise, character wise and I even somehow liked the combat. Sure it could be heavily improved, but it is still very enjoyable.

First about the story, this game starts a very thrilling trilogy that will stay in your mind for a long time. It develops nicely and very interesting. You can make decisions that change the outcome. May it be small quests or the main story. Especially the small side quests are a very good addition. They supplement the game perfectly. You learn a lot about the universe and the species. You even make friends, that could help you later on. Every mission something new happens, till you have to make decision, that can be really tough. If you want a exciting story you should definitely try it out.

I don't even have to talk about the music and soundtrack. It is just amazing. That says it all.

Your whole crew is amazing. They all have very interesting background stories and with the time you get to know them even better. Obviously only if you want to.

That leads me to Paragon and Renegade Options. You can be bad or good. Or even bad but still kinda good. It all depends on what decisions you make. Be a true hero, or a villain. But to be honest, you can also be bad and still save the galaxy. I mean, you can be nice to your crew but mess with everyone else. Just make sure to do as much as you can. Getting to know your crew could be the best way to save all of you at the end of the day.

The graphics are old. But it still looks good. I don't really have any problem with that. There are even mods out there to make the graphics a little bit better.

The planets may sometimes feel really empty, but I personally enjoyed them. The sky always looks cool and different.

Well, the best way to find out if you like the game is to play it. Wish you a lot of fun.
