What is the easiest Mass Effect game?

The easiest Mass Effect game depends on your playstyle, but Mass Effect 1 (ME1) is generally considered the easiest in the trilogy, especially on higher difficulties, due to powerful biotics and gear making enemies manageable, while Mass Effect 3 (ME3) offers the most polished and balanced combat for a smooth experience if you prefer modern shooting. Many find ME2's Insanity difficulty the toughest, but a Soldier or Infiltrator class makes any game easier by focusing on powerful weapons and cover.

What Mass Effect game should I play first?

You should *start with Mass Effect 1 (part of the Legendary Edition for a streamlined experience), playing in chronological order: ME1, ME2, ME3, as the story, character choices, and consequences carry over, building one massive narrative, though ME1's gameplay is dated but crucial for the trilogy's depth. If you truly struggle with ME1's older mechanics, you can jump to ME2 and use the in-game comic to make key decisions, but playing the original order provides the most context and impact.
