In a game about fighting different aliens in space, Mass Effect might not always have an explanation for certain parts of the story. For some players, explanations might not be necessary, because they are just having a good time without being too concerned about any lore. For others, the different plot holes and the idea of how realistic of an idea something is might feel haunting. Whether you are someone who wants to know what details they might’ve missed or someone who knows that they can’t be the only one to ask questions about these games, here are some things in the Mass Effect series that don’t make a lot of sense....

The developers at BioWare explain how Mass Effect Andromeda approaches the science fiction series’ ability for players to have romances within the game.

Cyberpunk 2077 fans have shared no shortage of unique designs for V, the game’s fully customizable protagonist.

A shotgun-wielding biotic with a heartbreaking story worth exploring, her aggression toward some of Shepherd’s allies makes for great banter during combat and cutscenes....

Bill Stillwell, a former Microsoft executive, claimed in a recent interview that Microsoft has the better console in regards to Sony’s PS5. The Xbox Series X is statistically more powerful in terms of hardware than the PlayStation 5, but there are a lot of other factors to consider when making this kind of claim. Even so, Stillwell says he isn’t worried about the “power narrative” simply because the Xbox Series X is better than Sony’s....

It may be refreshing to play game-changing titles with breathtaking stories, characters, or worlds, but there is also comfort to be found in more unique games.
