id like to throw to that bag witcher trilogy, cp77 and expedition 33. Not the same impact because i was older, so my priorities were vastly different but those games also can leave a mark.
Never played W1 or 2 but agree on the other three, all fantastic. Others for me would be the OG Deus Ex and Final Fantasy X impact-wise, but honestly none quite on the level of ME for some reason.
that reason is simple for me, size of world U are "saving". It was epic/galactic in scale, rest are great but local in their scope.

This is why ME3 is the best in the trilogy for me. ME1 introduced the scale of the problem, ME2 introduced subversion and increased the depth of the character relationships and ME3 leveraged those relationships to give the conclusion true meaning.
It's not enough to defeat universe's malevolent apex predator. You need a reason to do it, and that's what Mass Effect is all about.

I couldn't bring myself to play anything else for a week after finishing the trilogy. I don't think that's happened with any other game.
