BioWare's Mass Effect series has been beloved by gamers since the first game launched in 2007. Already known for its excellent story-focused RPGs, BioWare delivered a franchise that provided players with an intricate sci-fi world, fun gameplay, and many memorable characters that have taken on lives of their own outside the games. With protagonists like Shepard and fan-favorite companions like Garrus, Liara, and Tali, the Mass Effect games have become renowned for their amazing characters. The fourth installment in the series, Mass Effect: Andromeda, tried to take the series in a different direction after Shepard's story concluded, but with mixed results.
