Everything Matters

I had the chance to revisit Mass Effect thanks to a friend of mine. I forgot how much fun that game is. The open-ended storyline where all of your choices affect the game, the ability to pick and choose what you want to do and where you want to go, and the ability to choose what skills you want to learn and when you want to learn them all make for great gameplay.

If you have not yet had the chance to play Mass Effect, I encourage you to do so. There is a whole wide universe awaiting your explorations. Also, the storyline, while sometimes odd, is pretty cool overall.

The only drawback to the game, in my opinion, is the fact that there is not a lot of help in some of the missions. They tell you to go do something, but don't really give you much information on where you need to go, or what you need to do in order to complete the goal. While I don't mind puzzles or exploration, there is a limit to how much I can take in a game. Also, there are things you have to do in specific order, even though you can do them out of order. This will leave you with assignments that you can no longer finish. That annoys the hell out of my completionist psyche.
