It’s clear that the weather is playing its classic joke on us at the moment, with the long summer days beckoning and bringing with them the gift of… heavy precipitation. Still, we all need an excuse to stay inside some more, right? I’ve been plugging away at Biomutant for review and I can literally tell you nothing about it until next week. Besides that I’ve been dabbling with a bit of iOS gaming, and there’s an Apple TV heading my way so I’ll soon get to see how these games hold up on the big screen too.
Paragon Shepard, while Side B is about getting the job done, at all costs,
Renegade Shepard style.
The
Mass Effect franchise is one of the most iconic space opera epics video gaming has ever seen. In
Mass Effect, players take on the role of Commander Shepard. As Shepard, players explore the vast reaches of the Milky Way Galaxy. Everything starts off innocently enough, as Shepard journey’s to bring a corrupt Spectre to justice, before quickly spiralling into the ultimate battle for all of galactic civilisation. Shepard has affectionately earned the title of ‘commander’ in more ways than merely being a military ranking. The events surrounding the final chapters in Shepard’s military career defines what it means to be a true hero, to any and all – alien or otherwise.
After removing the Geth from the ExoGeni building on Feros, Shepard makes their way back to Zhu’s Hope. But before they arrive, Lizbeth reunites with her mom and the rest of the ExoGeni employees. They reveal to you they’ve had a creature called the Thorian underneath them for quite some time, controlling them, and now that you’re on your way to it, the colonists will protect it at all costs. The employees provide you a chance to knock them out using a gas grenade, or you can use your melee attack, or you can outright kill them.

Commander Shepard is returning this month to chart the course of the galaxy in the Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and there are no doubt going to be a number of returning players ready to chart it all over again.
You, as Commander Shepard, will make a number of choices in the game, whether you re resolving centuries-old conflicts or settling personal disputes. Choosing the destiny of everyone in the Milky Way is practically the central mechanic of the series! There are lots of these choices that are designed to spark debate, to challenge perspective, and to get you to see the world from a different point of view.
