3.9average player rating•5 games

Nobody finishes Mass Effect talking about the shooting. It's the crew — the ones you talked to on the ship, and the ones the ending took from you. These build a story out of the people in it.

The picks

Ranked by player rating, Metacritic breaks ties.

1
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
ActionRPG
The same studio's blueprint for all of it: a party, a galaxy, and the best twist BioWare ever wrote.
4.3/5Player ratingMC88View game
2
Cyberpunk 2077
ActionShooterRPG
For the other half: dialogue that changes things, a city with weight, and an ending that costs you something.
4.2/5Player ratingMC73View game
3
The Outer Worlds
ActionShooterAdventure
A ship, companions with agendas, and corporate satire in place of Reapers. Made by people who wrote a lot of the classics.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
ActionRPGStrategy
Mass Effect's structure in fantasy dress — a base, a war table, and companions who'll fall out with you.
3.8/5Player ratingMC86View game

Starfield
AdventureRPG
The biggest version of the fantasy: your ship, your crew, and a thousand planets to be busy on.
