Mass Effect

BioWare space opera

Mass Effect is a science fiction video game franchise developed by BioWare, following Commander Shepard's efforts to save the galaxy from an ancient machine race.

The series is known for player choice affecting narrative outcomes across games.

I'm doing another Mass Effect playthrough to see the different endings.

The phrase also appears in the games' lore as a physics concept—the manipulation of dark energy to alter mass, enabling faster-than-light travel and powerful weapons.
