Synopsis: In this concluding chapter of the Mass Effect saga, Shepard leaves an Earth that is being devastated by a Reaper attack. It is his mission to rally all the other species in the galaxy to defeat the Reapers once and for all, and hopefully as a result save his home planet. The key to victory may exist in the form of plans discovered on Mars for a Prothean weapon, which the Alliance refers to as The Crucible. NOTE: At the end of this review I address the controversy over the endings of the game. There will be ample spoiler warning, so if you have not finished the game, you can read without fear up until that point.
