No doubt about it: the Mass Effect games had some great music. Over the run of the trilogy, a collection of composers and songwriters came together to create an iconic, unmistakable sonic identity. (Sometimes, they even hid their music in the game itself.) But just as remarkable as the music in the games has been the music created about the games.

That tribute video, by Dmli1023, seems like a fitting note to go out on. The list is by no means complete, so if you know of a great tune that I left off, feel free to post it in the comments.
And thatâll do it for Mass Effect week. It was the first time weâve ever tried something like this, though it almost surely wonât be the last. We had a lot of fun, and hope you did too. Thanks for reading along!
With the release of the final piece of DLC, the Mass Effect trilogy has finally concluded. And so weâve decided to spend a week taking a look back: Itâs Mass Effect Week at Kotaku. All week long, weâll be revisiting the last five and a half years of galaxy-saving heroism, cross-species romance, and awkward dancing with new articles and some classics from years past.
