This book also includes a one-shot DLC offering some back story for James Vega and setting everything up for the start of Mass Effect 3. There are a few nice scenes, but the story drags and it feels like between game filler. If you’re a glutton for punishment go for it. It started well, but the clunky writing and lack lustre story was just too much to bear. This comic is Aria’s story and explains her power struggle on Omega, as she tries to protect her turf from Cerberus and a new, bigger threat.Īs cool a character as Aria is, I got totally bored reading this book.
When Cerberus’ experiments with Reaper technology go wrong, something is unleashed and emerges from the mass relay. This is probably worth a punt for fans of the series, as it fills some interesting gaps and may even settle some of the ‘indoctrination’ questions ‘ or at least offer more lore to pore over. However, I felt that we had to make a credibility leap from getting zapped by some relic to suddenly, hating everyone except humans and creating a pro-human organisation bent on conquer and destruction. I found Evolution, the most engaging, as we all want to know how The Illusive Man got to where he is in the games. On Palaven, the Turian’s have discovered an artefact and when Jack and his team come into contact with it, they are changed in varying degrees, but changed forever. Set before all three games, we meet mercenary, Jack Harper (who will become the Illusive Man), during the First Contact War. The most interesting premise of the three, Evolutions offers fans of the game The Illusive Man’s origin story. But my interest began to wane quite soon and only diehard Liara fans should bother.
Liara is joined by a mysterious Drell and they have to work together to battle against Cerberus. The story is vaguely interesting, as we see the Mass Effect universe from a new perspective. Everyone’s favourite captain is dead and Cerberus has ideas of its own, when it comes to letting the dead rest in peace. The Asari, Liara, is fighting Cerberus for possession of Shepard’s body.
Mass Effect: Redemption follows on from the end of the first game and fills in a bit of story before Mass Effect 2 kicks in. As the Mass Effect game trilogy has come to an end, I’m going to review the books as a complete series, offering an overview of each story and how they tie in with the game.
