At the Guardian, Tauriq Moosa writes about the Mass Effect Trilogy. “This year, when everyone has been encouraged to isolate and death has been omnipresent, experiencing a grand narrative of community has been fulfilling. Mass Effect carefully balances the personal and the political in Shepard’s place in the story: helping some lowly community encourages a large corporation to send aid; befriending one alien leads that alien’s entire civilisation to help humanity. The personal is the political, but it is also the thread stitching diverse groups together.”
