  "account": "All 23 BioWare games have been ranked from worst to best, with the studio announcing its closure on October 21. Journeys, a free Flash tactical RPG, was one of the earliest games and can still be played through the Flashpoint archive. Mass Effect Galaxy saw the protagonist, Jacob Taylor, on a cruise that turned into a batarian terrorist attack, leading him to an Alliance mission before joining Cerberus. Dragon Age 2 featured a social network attached, allowing players to recruit avatars of their friends' characters. Mass Effect 3's launch coincided with the release of Infiltrator, an iOS game where players control a Cerberus operative uncovering horrifying experiments. Anthem, BioWare's first new IP in a decade, was set on a world left unfinished by the gods, where Freelancers piloted Javelin exosuits to prevent a shadowy faction from claiming ancient technology. Sonic Chronicles, BioWare's first turn-based RPG, featured Sonic leading a party of ten friends against a mysterious menace in a Nintendo DS game. Andromeda, BioWare's first foray into the Andromeda galaxy, had players as Scott or Sara Ryder tasked with finding a new home for humanity in the Heleus Cluster. Dragon Age 2 focused on the city of Kirkwall and the power struggles within. MDK2, a sequel to Shiny's cult shooter, saw alien invaders landing in Edmonton, Alberta, while jester Kurt Hectic, mad scientist Dr. Fluke Hawkins, and Max, a six-legged dog, uncovered a plot to destroy Earth.",
