I like rts so: StarCraft 2 and Sins of a Silae Empire.
The original Mass Effect trilogy has the best world building of any game ever.
Mass Effect Andromeda was my least favourite. It's not the worst game ever but it was the biggest disappointment. It has mediocre world building and tries to be Halo, but without the clever problem solving in the battles and it has clunky combat system.

@Elessar I prefer the ME games to Halo because of the narrative. The Halo games have more imaginative levels though and you have to work out how to complete them . ME. A. tries to do that but executes in poorly.
On ME. A. they had a whole new galaxy to explore but you don't explore it and it only has two new races. No new interesting characters either.

@Burnley123 My wife's sibling works for Bioware and the legends of how badly ME:A was fucked up and killed the Montreal studio will last forever. So hoping they can stick the landing with the new Dragon Age game.

@Burnley123 Halo is too linear for me and a tad too militaristic; I mean I enjoyed it, but I always enjoyed the multiplayer component more, the campaign was.. accessory? ME instead story wise allows for more depth and ramifications, which I enjoyed better, especially because I could replay it and make different choices.
Indeed. I've played ME:A only once.. I have probably more hours in ME3's multiplayer than in MEA's campaign, and that is quite telling 😅

@Elessar Yeah Halo is indeed very Linear. It's not a badly built world but you are right about the militarism. It's like Starship Troopers but without the irony. The bad guys are called the Covenant (an English term used for an organisation of witches.) Obviously, they had to have Tyranid/Zerg/ Alien ripoff and called it the Flood. You know because they don't have enough biblical references after calling the game Halo.
As pure shooter, the series is first class though. I did play the campaigns but skipped through the narrative scenes because they were pointless.
Rescue this artefact, neutralise this threat blah blah. Dude, I just want to drive a Jeep up a ramp and onto a giant Robot beetle, jump out and shoot some bad guys.

@Burnley123 Absolutely. But for Halo indeed my main focus has always been the multiplayer, starting from Halo 2 (PC, 2007). I've caught up with the campaigns only in 2020. It's indeed the FPS game for me - between custom maps, custom modes, chasing the achievements, etc. I had a blast with it throughout all the middle-school years.
ME too has some militaristic component imo, but definitely nowhere as much as Halo or Starship Troopers.
