PCGAMER: If you listened to yesterday’s E3 podcast, you already know what made my day: getting to play through the Mass Effect 3 demo behind closed doors (something I routinely taunted my fellow editors with until they stopped talking with me). The first thing that struck me is that ME3 is gritty. I’m playing on the Salarian homeworld, and it’s obvious it’s seen better days – everywhere you look there’s debris, burning rubble, and scarred buildings, all swarming with Reaper monstrosities and Cerberus soldiers. It reminded me of that first scorched-earth moment when you step onto the ambushed Citadel in the original Mass Effect.

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.

Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
