I had always heard good things about the Mass Effect series, but never got to experience them until this was released. I love any type of game that lets me build and act out a character as I see fit, and being able to take said character through three different games and let them flesh out is a truly immersive experience. I enjoyed downright every second of this game (yes, even ME1), and would gladly recommend it to any RPG fan out there.

I have not played the other Souls games, and was wary when I started this one. However, this game is the bare minimum and so much more of what I want out of open world games. The world-building is phenomenal and has so much care put into it that I wish I could experience it for the first time all over again. Another easy entry in my top 5, primarily for the replay-ability and the incredible world design.

A fantastic adventure/visual novel experience that I think about constantly. The story and characters are crafted with such care and attention that my expectations for other similar styled games have been permanently raised. It easily takes a spot on my top 5 and is the best visual novel I have played.
