It’s been officially announced that\u00a0Mass Effect<\/em>:\u00a0Legendary Edition<\/em>\u00a0will\u00a0release sometime in spring 2021.<\/a>\u00a0Even with many upcoming 2021 releases, this remastered collection is one of the year’s most anticipated games. The trilogy will have enhancements for next-gen consoles, and we couldn’t be more excited.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Mass Effect<\/em><\/a>\u00a0trilogy raised the bar for\u00a0modern RPGs (role-playing games).<\/a>\u00a0Immersive dialogue and tactical gameplay blend for a surreal gaming experience. Few games hold a candle to classic\u00a0Mass Effect<\/em>\u00a0games, but here are some alternatives that might compare. In some cases, these games deserve a remaster of their own.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Horizon Zero Dawn<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

When\u00a0it was announced\u00a0Horizon Zero Dawn<\/em><\/a>\u00a0was a role-playing game like Skyrim<\/em> and Mass Effect,<\/em> we were thrown for a loop.\u00a0Both Horizon Zero Dawn<\/em> and Mass Effect<\/em> have\u00a0game-changing dialogue choices,<\/a>\u00a0although Mass\u00a0Effect<\/em>\u00a0has more impactful ones. Meanwhile, games like\u00a0Horizon Zero Dawn\u00a0<\/em>and its expansion\u00a0The Frozen Wilds<\/em><\/a>\u00a0will tide us over\u00a0until Mass Effect<\/em>: Legendary Edition<\/em>\u00a0releases sometime in 2021.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Assassin’s Creed Valhalla<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/a><\/em>\u00a0series switched from the stealth genre to an ARPG (action role-playing game). Set during the Viking’s invasion of Britain, the game takes place during unrest in Europe. In 873 AD, the Brotherhood of Assassin’s and Templars still exist.<\/p>\n

With dialogue options and many ARPG elements, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla<\/em> is a must-play.<\/a> Including romance options, the game has many similarities to the\u00a0Mass Effect<\/em>\u00a0trilogy, despite having a different setting.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Mass Effect: Andromeda<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The\u00a0Mass Effect<\/em>\u00a0trilogy is considered separate from\u00a0Mass Effect: Andromeda.<\/em><\/a>\u00a0The trilogy takes place in the Milky Way Galaxy with Commander Shepard as the protagonist.\u00a0Mass Effect: Andromeda<\/em>\u00a0is set in the neighboring Andromeda galaxy with Pathfinder Ryder as the main protagonist.<\/p>\n

Mass: Effect Andromeda\u00a0<\/em>didn’t live up to the original games’ hype, yet it did add several improving features. The combat was a step forward, but the character models and animations received mixed reviews.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim<\/em>\u00a0was released in the same year\u00a0<\/em>that the\u00a0Mass Effect<\/em>\u00a0trilogy concluded. Whether Skyrim<\/em> was a direct inspiration or if it was indirect, undoubtedly there was an influence. The game’s dialogue system and romance options might have taken a page from Mass Effect.<\/em><\/a> Mass Effect’s<\/em> developer, BioWare,<\/a> created numerous RPGs, and a few of them likely influenced the storytelling of\u00a0The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.<\/em><\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Fallout 3<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Bethesda Softworks hit the mark with the release of\u00a0Fallout 3.<\/em><\/a>\u00a0This story-intensive game provides an unparalleled experience in gameplay. Concerning art direction, later games like Fallout 4<\/em> and Fallout: New Vegas<\/em> come out on top. However, Fallout 3<\/em>‘s meaningful dialogue choices make it memorable. The game has a gripping main story from start to finish, seldom meandering off the path into a sea of meaningless side quests.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic II: The Sith Lords<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Star Wars<\/em> fever crushed it in the movie box office, but some of the games weren’t as fortunate. Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords<\/em> wasn’t the best-selling game, yet it does have impactful RPG elements and dialogue choices reminiscent of Mass Effect<\/em>. Both games let you pilot a ship across a galaxy while meeting new friends and acquaintances along the way. Mass Effect<\/em> came a few years after\u00a0Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic II: The Sith Lords,<\/em> yet it might not exist without it.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Fallout: New Vegas<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Fallout: New Vegas<\/em>\u00a0used\u00a0<\/em>outsourced developers from Obsidian Entertainment rather than Bethesda Softworks. The result was arguably the best game in franchise history.<\/a> The main story revolves around a courier who is left for dead by a mobster named Benny. Your journey to retrieve the Platinum Chip delivery and confront the mobster is the focus of the game. Like any\u00a0Fallout<\/em>\u00a0and Mass Effect<\/em>, players can complete an abundance of side quests and upgrade their character.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Earning acclaim across the board,\u00a0The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/em><\/a>\u00a0is a must-experience RPG. According to\u00a0thewitcher.com,<\/a>\u00a0this game is going to receive a next-gen upgrade. For now, players can experience the Xbox One X\/PS4 Pro version’s\u00a0awe-inspiring adventure.<\/p>\n

In comparison to Mass Effect,<\/em> The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/em> is longer and more detailed; however, game-changing dialogue decisions<\/a> came from Mass Effect<\/em>\u00a0first. Mass Effect<\/em> takes place in a futuristic real-world setting, whereas The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/em> takes place on an unnamed planet.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>The Outer Worlds<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

For a space adventure like the original\u00a0Mass Effect\u00a0<\/em>trilogy, few games are closely related to\u00a0The Outer Worlds.<\/em><\/a>\u00a0The Outer Worlds’<\/em>\u00a0development company, Obsidian Entertainment,<\/a> has worked closely alongside BioWare on previous games. Both are recognized as juggernauts in the RPG genre. Rather than being handed intellectual property on a silver platter,\u00a0The Outer Worlds<\/em>\u00a0was the first of its kind from Obsidian Entertainment. It’s also worth noting Fallout’s<\/em> creators had a hand in developing and directing\u00a0The Outer Worlds.<\/em><\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

After Star Wars:\u00a0Knights of the Old Republic’s<\/em> release,\u00a0the role-playing game genre was never the same. It set a precedent for a game with fun gameplay,\u00a0immersive dialogue, and interstellar travel all packed into\u00a0a cohesive game. You can form romantic relationships\u2014even if it’s with the enemy.<\/p>\n

Taking place in a galaxy far, far away, the game heavily inspired the release of Mass Effect<\/em>. It’s\u00a0not hard to see the parallels between\u00a0Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0the Mass Effect<\/em> trilogy. The franchises both\u00a0came from BioWare.<\/a><\/p>\n
