Mass Effect

Mass Effect Guía y cronología

Commander Shepard needs allies as much as firepower when an ancient threat puts the galaxy at risk. Mass Effect builds its space opera around a ship's crew, difficult loyalties and decisions carried between games. Andromeda follows a different expedition trying to make a home far beyond the trilogy's familiar systems.

Mass Effect: Meet the Crew Before the Galaxy Needs Them

Play Mass Effect, then Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3, choosing original or Legendary Edition campaigns rather than both. Approach Andromeda afterward for a different expedition and cast.

The Legendary entries revisit Shepard's campaigns. They are alternative versions, not three more missions after the original trilogy.

Overview & recommendation

Mass Effect makes the galaxy personal through the people aboard your ship. Starting with Shepard's first campaign gives the later alliances, losses and decisions their history instead of turning them into unexplained background.

Andromeda changes the central team and the kind of task ahead. Building a home in another galaxy is a separate focus from Shepard's struggle, even though it belongs to the wider setting.

Keep the trilogy in sequence for a first playthrough and choose the presentation you want. Its relationships and consequences build between games, so beginning with a later installment loses more than a recap can restore. Play Andromeda when you want that new expedition, not as an interruption between Shepard's campaigns.

The Trilogy as One Personal Journey 18 entries

Begin the first campaign and keep 2 and 3 together afterward. Skip duplicate versions unless comparison is your aim; the emotional route follows Shepard's developing crew rather than the dates remasters appeared.
