You gain an emotional connection to the characters, which pays off in spades during the game's climax. Everything comes to a head when you and your team finally take the fight to the aliens. The encounter is a doozy, one that can whittle your crew down to nothing. Few game finales feel this big, this portentous. And that's all due to how deeply the game involves you in its branching, twisting story. In Mass Effect 2, you're not just pulling the trigger, you're spinning the yarn.
One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!
To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.
some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier
it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.

Good review, the best so far
WE ALL knew you would say this: Its not a PS3 exclusive game...thats why LOL...You're the biggest fanboy on this site and you actually try and hide it LOL...
If it were on the PS3 you would be saying it should have got a 9.5 or 10 and the site is a joke for not giving it that score. You are too funny dude
