    Doesnt compare to the first 2 instalments. This is utter crap, just pushed out to market for a quick cash grab. ME 1 & 2 are amazing games, what a pity

    Игра прекрасно подхватывает нить повествования предыдущей части, боевая система, да и все, в принципе, стало немного лучше. Всё бы хорошо, но мы все знаем, чем все закончилось.

    The fact that people whine about the ending (still) is pathetic. Sure, the ending does not justify the series, but what ending could? The fact that Bioware can create in just a fair year a game that accomplishes what Mass Effect 3 did with me is amazing. I mean, the emotional side of the game is the best I've witnessed by far.

    2nd best in the franchise, followed in 3rd place by the first Mass Effect of course, though I personally did like ME Andromeda and did not face any bugs n sh*t, even getting it on release didn't cause be any problems.
    Story was amazing, characters make a comeback etc.
    I hate the ending though, so either you die and take control of the Reapers, kill the Reapers and still die or just die. We died for literally nothing, well at least we personally. It sucked that Shepard had to sacrifice themselves to either save the galaxy by taking control or by ending the Reapers lives and still dying. I f*cking hate the ending with a passion. Unless you got your MILITARY STRENGTH UP TO 4 F*CKING THOUSAND. Then you can destroy the Reapers, save earth, saver your crew and Shepard moves under all the rubble.    … Expand

    Despite the complaints that its ending has, I feel that this game is more balanced; the mechanics improved a little, the control feels much better, although the story became somewhat confusing, characters with less weight than in its predecessor but the final result leaves a good taste.

    This game is masterpiece.
    Its excelent ending of this trilogy. I´ve enjoyed every minute of this game.
    i would like to start with graphics - for ps3 ??? Damn its awesome. Shooting model is very good. However i´ve missed some minigames for example Scanning planets for minerals, hacking and etc. from ME2. Level design is amazing, every room, every area, every building.

    Level design is amazing, every room, every area, every building. Lot of annoying enemies. And the final mission is just non stop action filled with desperate feelings and hope.

    Weapon upgrades are simple and effective. Story is absolutely stunning, it could hardly be better.
    Characters are awesome, only James is sometimes cringy. FPS drops only occasionaly.

    So in the end.. its simply 10/10 from me and i will definitely play it again.    … Expand

    Funny to read how triggered people are about the ending they rate the whole game bad. The game is a masterpiece from beginning to (provided you got the extended cut installed) the end. With the extended cut I think the ending of the game is a very good exemple how to properly wrap up the central message all 3 games had in common.

    Still, TO DATE in the year 2020 Mass Effect 3 is by far the worst Mass Effect.

    Wonderful game. Great game. On par with the second part. And only fans whose thoughts the developers have not read spoil the impression. I understand why the game is not liked by those who have not played it. I went through the game from start to finish, got a red ending and I have no sense of a "traffic light". A bitter but emotional ending to the whole journey.

    Sigo sin explicarme por qué el rendimiento de este final de trilogía era tan paupérrimo en PS3. Tanto, que no lo jugué hasta que llego la remasterización. De todas formas, un brillante final de saga. No llega al nivel del 2 pero supera con creces el 1. No roza la perfección por simples detalles y un final algo apresurado incluso después de parche.

    Enjoyable at times but overall very Lidl game, last main mission lasts for 2 hours and is the worst main plot quest.

    Великолепная игра. Странно, что многие игроки не оценили её по достоинству. Может, многим не понравилась концовка, но как по мне - она отличная.

Отдельно стоит выделить атмосферу игры и дизайн уровней. На каждом уровне атмосфера разная, что способствует тому, что игра не может наскучить своей монотонностью, и ты погружаешься в неё с головой. Над дизайном уровней разработчики тоже постарались и выдали такую картинку, которая захватывает с самого начала. Игра выдалась на славу, и я согласен с тем, что её признали лучшей игрой года. Спасибо разработчикам и издателям за то, что создали столь атмосферную и красивую игру!… Expand

    Another beautifully presented and perfectly balanced combination of action and adventure set within the sphere of a grand galactic space opera. One of the very best games of its type.

    Mass Effect 3 is an amazing experience in and of itself. It's also the perfect capstone to a true AAA franchise, offering a poignant conclusion that'll stick long after the credits have rolled. You're standing on the precipice of one of the best games Earth money can buy. [April 2012, p.60]

    If ever a game was more about the journey than the destination, it's Mass Effect 3. And what a journey it is. [May 2012, p.71]

    The RGP elements have been toned down considerably in favour of more action. For some this will sound like a bad thing, but trust us when we say that Bioware has thought this through. With the Reapers invading, it would be kind off silly to go on a shopping spree on the citadel. [April 2012, p.60]
