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.

On paper it is what Mass Effect 3 is — strong narrative focus, melee combat and a sci-fi setting — though the resemblance is mostly at that level. To that it adds a third-person camera and single-player focus. They part company on combat and visuals: this one brings ranged combat and 3D presentation.
