First launching back in 2007 with the arrival of Mass Effect, the sci-fi franchise created by Casey Hudson quickly became hailed as one of the greatest of all time. Set in the not-so-distant future where humans and aliens alike have colonized the galaxy using technology left behind by previous civilizations, the story follows Commander Shepard as they attempt to save the galaxy from an ancient alien race known as the Reapers.
Following the success of Mass Effect, sequels soon followed and now, at the time of writing, the main franchise consists of four mainline entries.
