The peak: 2000 to 2012

BioWare's six highest-scoring games all came out between 2000 and 2012, and all six rank in the top 120 of the 3,216 games we score. Knights of the Old Republic is the 10th best game of all time on GamesChart, and Mass Effect 2 is 23rd. Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Origins, released two years apart, sit next to each other at #74 and #78: the run a 10,075-upvote r/gaming thread called two of the best narrative games of all time, made within three years.

After Mass Effect 3

No BioWare game since Mass Effect 3 in 2012 has scored above 81. Dragon Age: Inquisition (80.7) is the best of the later games. Mass Effect: Andromeda (71.6) and Anthem (63.0) are the lowest-scoring games the studio made, and Anthem ranks in the bottom 25 of all 3,216 games in our data. The studio's last game, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, scores 74.7.

What happens now

BioWare said in its farewell message that "early development on the next Mass Effect project is ending". IGN reported that about 50 of the 400 jobs cut were at BioWare. Bloomberg later reported that EA chose to fund Star Wars: Battlefront 3 rather than the next Mass Effect, as both would have cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make. EA hasn't said what happens to the Mass Effect and Dragon Age series; IGN reports that Amazon's Mass Effect TV series is still in development.

Not in this list: Baldur's Gate 3, which is #3 of all time but was made by Larian Studios, not BioWare. Neverwinter Nights (2002) and Sonic Chronicles (2008) are BioWare games, but they don't have enough ratings in our sources to get a score.

How we ranked

The GamesChart Score combines critic ratings (IGDB and critic aggregates via Wikidata) and player ratings (Steam, IGDB and RAWG), shrinking each source toward its average when it has few ratings and weighting critics and players 50/50. A game needs at least three sources to be scored. Scores are from our data as last generated on 21 October 2026. Every scored game is in our best games of all time ranking.
