But for the average player a playthrough can last between the 10 and 25 hours. Doing all side quests and it lasta between 30 - 60 hours. IMO replay value is amazing, the game (unlike KOTOR) moves fast so going through boring parts isnt a burden.
Correspondingly, how many hours is each Mass Effect game?
Beating every game in the trilogy without the DLC will take 67.5 hours. With it, the trilogy balloons to 99.5 hours. Players who plan to scour every inch of the trilogy's galaxy are in for at least 144.5 hours.
Secondly, how long is ME1 campaign? 25 hours
Moreover, how long does it take to beat Mass Effect 3?
50-60 hours
Do I have to play Mass Effect 1?
Let's get something out of the way first, the Mass Effect trilogy is, obviously, designed to be played in order and if you skip past the first one then you will be missing out on some great, important connections between characters that will come back into play in future games.
