    The game is fine.
    Developers, please, fix the bugs. And get Miranda's ass back!

    The ME:LE is a weak and pathetic cash grab. The work was done by another company at BioWare's direction - this is rather telling of the lack of talent left within BioWare; they can't even modernize their own IP.

The work was done by another company at BioWare's direction - this is rather telling of the lack of talent left within BioWare; they can't even modernize their own IP. ME1's graphics look decidedly worse, as they didn't employ ray tracing or even bother to get the lighting right - everything is darker and washed out. Assault rifles are now simply awful and not at all like the original sci-fi space shooter. Instead of having a reticle that changes size with power usage and firing, the new game has a terrible reticle that just bounces all over the place. Honestly, I prefer the original Mass Effect. It would be different if they brought in cover usage similar to ME3 where we can use corners and left and right hand advantage - zero effort was put in to make it happen.

    ME2 is essentially untouched with the exception of editing out Miranda Lawson's gratuitous butt scenes. While this is not a deal breaker or anything - it is rather telling of BioWare's sense of (or lack thereof) direction.

    ME3 is the same appalling pile of crap. The deal breaker endings are not addressed. Do not get this game with the hoped that the endings are fixed - they are NOT. The endings are still the same nonsensical pile of appalling excrement.

    If you were hoping that the series was somehow made "Legendary", you will be sorely disappointed. If the ME:LE were free, you'd still be getting ripped off. Just play the originals with a few mods from the Nexus - not only will it look better than the ME:LE, it will actually still play like Mass Effect.    … Expand

    The game needs the option "ENGLISH VOICE ACTING + RUSSIAN SUBTITLES". The fact is that the voice acting in the Russian version is simply disgusting.

    Audio is completely broken (see other reviews) and it has become a total bullet-sponge game. Stand in front of an AI too stupid to know what a gun is and empty a clip in their face. NEXT! As much as the textures have been upgraded this is not worth playing in 2021.

    Game won't even run.

    Loads up menu and game selection screen then just crashes. Tried everything I could find online, made no difference.

    Big waste of money.

    Buggy, that's my experience. So bad in my case it was unplayable and was returned. Do these software companies undertake beta testing before releasing these titles into the wild? I have to wonder.

    Disgusting remaster. In the first part, all realism is simply destroyed. Everything is as bright as a comic book. The first meeting with the Reaper is just laughter through tears. Danger is not felt at all. Realism is completely lost. You cannot put the desired subtitles and the desired language. RUSSIAN SUBTITLES AND ENGLISH VOICE! Just disgusting and slipshod work.

Like everything in our world now. EA you become a small publisher, losing all your greatness. Further we go, worse it becomes. A huge number of errors and bugs, crashes from the game. You haven't fixed anything. At all. You are thieves. You stole our money and time. You sell this "remaster" ha for the price of AAA games. In fact, this is just a collection of original games that you made lighter. This is just an incredible shame. It's a shame EA. You just turned into the lousiest publisher ever.

    Oddly enough, despite giving it a mixed review, its mostly a matter of context. If you have never played any of the mass effect games or bought them before, and are a fan of RPGs/shooters, then this is 100% a good purchase.

    To put that in perspective, however, it is also an inferior purchase to buying the older trilogy edition and applying the most popular user-created mods to it.

    To put that in perspective, however, it is also an inferior purchase to buying the older trilogy edition and applying the most popular user-created mods to it. In addition to not quite managing to match up to the quality and options added with mods to previous editions, it adds new bugs and re-cuts scenes and removes pieces.

    The only reason I could imagine for releasing this version would be is if they changed the highly controversial and disliked ending to the trilogy; which they didn't.

    Buy the trilogy edition instead, mod the hell out of it to get better graphics, more options, and more gameplay than the legendary offers, and enjoy.    … Expand

    Additional Fair Warning, the review and Score only represents whats offerd in this Package! Not the Score of the Original Games itself, wich are a Holy Masterpiece of modern Gaming thanks to extraordinary Companions and Humor paired with a brilliant Epic Story!

    ME1: was nowhere near of what i expected it to be, a few higher Textures here and there and lots of old and new Bugs made it hard to enjoy once you put down your Nostalgia Sunglasses.
    Frameratedrops and stuttering on Planets while driving around with the Mako, hell i am able to play almost all modern Games in Ultra Details 60fps+ Cyberpunk? check! Tomb Raider? check! and the List goes on... and then you look at a Diashow in ME1 remaster O.o
    The Gameplay was still clunky and the Worlds lifeless, a few minor Details would have worked Wonders there.

    ME2: currently playing and witnessing alot of Bugs in Animations and Game errors up to freezes or Crashes so most likely no good Feedback too...good thing this is free for ea pro subs, would have already refunded the 60$ they want...

    Some things about Legendary Edition disappointed or irritated me (no support for the mods, no option to import save files or characters from the original games, no multiplayer in ME3, Denuvo, some bugs and glitches) but as an avid fan who played through the trilogy many times, I enjoyed the remasters immensely.

    Mass Effect Legendary Edition is not just a love letter to fans, but also a great gift that BioWare is making to newcomers to the series. Although some of the issues present in the original games haven't been fixed, there are so many improvements to the first two Mass Effect titles that I'm willing to overlook the minor bugs. The entire trilogy sends players throughout this amazing sci-fi universe that feels alive and vibrant everywhere you look. Perhaps these games should have been remastered separately to get the attention they deserve, but having the entire trilogy in a single bundle that's perfectly playable nearly 15 years after the release of the first game is surely convenient.

    Beautiful, engaging and every bit as fun as it was nearly 15 years ago, Mass Effect Legendary Edition lives up to the name. It's a gorgeous, robust title that will make veterans remember how much they enjoyed the series while giving newcomers a memorable ride for the first time. There's no question you should pick this up if you fall into either category because Commander Shepard deserves that much attention.
