Having played so many of Owlcat's games, I never could have anticipated what I would get with The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. I barely have any clue about this universe and wholeheartedly anticipated yet another isometric, text-based RPG. However, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Mass Effect's legacy lives on and that it has been reincarnated as Owlcat's title.
As the title of the game suggests, The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is set in The Expanse universe invented by James S.A. Corey for his eponymous series of novels. The game puts you in the shoes of a Pinkwater Security employee who survived a viral outbreak while working on Eros Station. It turns out the outbreak was started by a strange group known as Protegen, whom the player fights throughout the campaign. While it shares a universe with the books and TV show, it's an isolated story that doesn't overlap much with them.
