Next up on my play list after Alan Wake – and most likely well into the summer – is the Mass Effect trilogy, a sort of RPG/shooter/interactive story that was released between 2007 and 2012 with a follow-up, Andromeda, published in 2017. One of the joys of the Xbox Series X is its backward compatibility, which means that pretty good games cost a couple of pounds. I only vaguely remember playing the first Mass Effect. It’s one of those games – like Bioshock – that In realise I should have paid more attention to at the time.
