What brings it close to Mass Effect 3 is strong narrative focus, melee combat and a sci-fi setting, and the two track each other on genre, combat and setting. Both also lean on skill tree progression and a third-person camera. The distance is in game mode — its own ground is exploration and discovery, and open world exploration.

If Mass Effect 3 worked for you because of dark, oppressive atmosphere, melee combat and single-player focus, the same is here. The common ground extends to a third-person camera. Where the two diverge is game mode: fighting mechanics.
