Mass Effect 3: Retaliation

201279/100
Shooter
Retaliation’s enduring pull lies in its brutal, high-stakes multiplayer, a desperate last stand against the Reapers that perfectly mirrored the trilogy’s final act. It refined the class-based, four-player horde mode with punishing difficulty spikes and a deep progression system for weapons and powers, where survival depended on synergistic teamwork and smart use of biotic combos or tech bursts. This wasn't mere side content; it was a tense, strategic co-op shooter that felt integral to the war effort, cementing its status as a high-water mark for live-service looter-shooters before the genre even had a name.
