If you're asking about games in general; Dragon Age, The Witcher 3 and Disco Elysium all come to mind. I feel like those three games deliver more compelling story, characters, worlds and play with tropes related to their respective genres in much more creative ways than ME does.

However, if you're asking me for games that are specifically in the sci-fi rpg genre, I'm admittedly drawing some blanks rn. Like maybe KOTOR? But even then that's so heavily based in the greater Star Wars lore that I think I'd give the nod to ME. Mass Effect is kind of the gold standard sci-fi RPG game. But I think that could be due to the fact that the Sci-fi rpg genre hasn't been as popular or as explored as Fantasy rpgs.
