Mass Effect has such a unique aesthetic because the devs wanted to imitate Syd Mead's design style with all the light and shiny metal with strong geometric and smoothly sloping features. When I was a teenager I didn't appreciate the style and thought it was kind of mid beyond the Normandy, the N7 armor and the Avenger assault rifle, but when I replayed ME1 as an adult even the little boxy houses and research labs on remote planets had a lot of style thanks to this look.
