After Zero Company, I would love to see a Mass Effect XCOM clone.

I wish Zero Company had more depth and was longer, less linear.

Everything else about it was great. It's ending seemed to be a bit early, and with so much more that could have been done with it by just making it longer, a bit more... everything (weapons, skill tree, grenade types, etc. etc.)

Just seemed like an amazing game that was rushed out the door to me. I still loved it, though.

I've said the exact same thing before! Would love a Mass Effect XCOM clone!

I'd also take a BG3-like turn-based RPG campaign set in the Mass Effect universe.

Either way, as much as I'll always miss Old Bioware, they clearly weren't ever going to reach those heights again. And them closing down may actually put us a step closer to the IP being sold to someone else. If it's an asset that the new Kushner-Saudi EA simply doesn't care about, then why not sell it?

I would like a BG3-like game set in pretty much every universe.

Chimera Squad tried to inject some of the Mass Effect formula into it and it didn't pan out all that great.

And Zero Company injected a lot of the Mass Effect formula and it worked incredibly.
