Mass Effect (Franchise)

‘Mass Effect’ is a sci-fi franchise set in the future, where humans and aliens explore the galaxy using advanced technology from ancient civilizations. The main games follow Commander Shepard’s mission to save the galaxy from the Reapers, powerful ancient machines, while the fourth game, ‘Mass Effect: Andromeda’, introduces a new setting and cast. The series is praised for its story, characters, and player choices but faced criticism for the ending of the third game and mixed reactions to ‘Andromeda’ due to technical issues and its plot.
