My Only Hope especially after the latest teaser, is to somehow get each and every member back and go through an Unforgettable journey through the galaxy without any major threat. I want my Shepard to be back, and all my favorite characters of course. Perhaps one day we will see another great trilogy, and Mass Effect will forever remain the best on my list!

    I've played through the trilogy four times over the years and now a fifth time as Legendary Edition. The best story game I've ever played.

    Final Thoughts:

    From its lore-intensive beginning to its frenetic action-oriented sequels, Mass Effect is arguably the defining sci-fi experience of the last couple of decades in gaming. Characters shine with crackling chemistry and player choices add the desired flavour to the epic space opera. Monumental stakes and uplifting themes create a strong canvas for the gorgeous vistas and unique races the series creates. Sadly, all that fantastic force is undermined by an ending that renders every player choice moot and betrays the core plot with odd choices. It takes a while to lose, but I was left with a bitter, unsatisfying taste after what's largely been one of the most delicious RPGs.

    Masterpiece trilogy. The feeling of being a space ship's captain cannot be conveyed better than through Mass Effect. From the compelling story to the mysterious and yet terrifying great enemies you have to face to save the galaxy, you really feel like a true hero.

    Cons
    - missing the ME3 multiplayer
    - will always feel better on pc due to the limited number of abilities you can quick use on the controller

    For about seven years, the Mass Effect trilogy was my favorite series of all time. As a space opera of truly epic proportions, the trilogy has its ups and downs, but as a whole, is one of the best series ever made.

    The original Mass Effect had a task of introducing a new universe filled with opportunities to the players. And it understood the assignment perfectly. Within a couple of hours, you have interacted with every race occupying the known universe. You are given quests to deal with some of their problems, giving you more insight on their culture. It feels very natural.

    For the main story, you become a special agent for the government and you are sent to hunt another of your kind. Getting to visit a world after world, resulting in you being even more grounded in the reality of this universe. This game features one of my favorite villain speeches as well as one of the most iconic decisions in gaming. The main story ends in a perfect crescendo that sends you off to the next game.

    Mass Effect 2 had the hard time of following one of the most competent introductions ever made. And it succeeded with flying colors. Dropping the stiffer combat from the first game, every action you take feels a lot more fluid. The rework of abilities makes them feel more active and fun to use (Biotic Charge being my all time favorite Mass Effect ability).

    The main story of Mass Effect 2 is kinda meh. The very beginning and the final Suicide Mission are some of the most iconic moments of the series, but between that, the other main missions are kind of generic. What saves the storytelling hard, is the fabulous side content with the main cast of characters. The loyalty missions are some of the most fun content, giving you more time to fall in love with all the characters on your ship. Also some of the best stories found are in the included DLC packs like Overlord, Lair of the Shadow Broker and Arrival.

    Then comes Mass Effect 3. Ok, to say this game was a little controversial is one of the biggest understatements you could make. The ending of this game is one of the most reviled things in gaming history, by people who only consider a plot thread ended, if it appeared in the final cutscene. To me, this whole game felt like an ending that tied the story throughout its entire run time.

    If people want to act like this game is worthless over a final cutscene, then they are willfully ignoring some of the best moments the series ever had. The Genophage decision is one of the most multi-faceted decisions in the series, taking in account a spider web of decisions made in the previous games. The solution to the Geth-Quarian conflict is one of the most epic moments within the entire series. Thessia truly shows the desperation in what you are facing. The only thing I will give to the people who needlessly hate this game, Kai Leng, is the lamest weeaboo insert I have seen in gaming.

    Where Mass Effect 3 also shines is the combat. By taking what ME2 introduced and polishing it to its final form, Mass Effect 3 has undeniably the best gameplay in the series, allowing for fast and fluid combat that will never bore you.

    In conclusion, each game in the series offers something slightly different, while keeping with the main theme of the story. You come to Mass Effect for the best main story in the series. You come to Mass Effect 2 for the best cast and side content. And you come to Mass Effect 3 for the best gameplay and for some of the most iconic moments within the series. What a fantastic series that everyone should experience.

    I can confidently say that this is the best sci-fi rpg game I have ever played as well as being one of my favorite games.

Ah as for the protagonist, Shepard in fact, from the first minutes of the game it is possible to notice how much personality he is able to convey. Yet over the course of the entire game it will be up to the player to decide how Shepard will evolve: whether an incorruptible paladin of the galaxy, willing and good, or whether to make him hungry for greed and characterize him with an icy ruthlessness. So yes, Mass Effect Legendary Edition is a must have for anyone looking for a story that can capture you deeply and always have a place in their heart. Expand

    But back to topic, this series was a breath of fresh air. Narrative in ME1 will hook you in desptie some outdated aspects, but ME2 and 3 are loads of fun and have phenomenal gameplay. I played on PS4 Pro and enjoyed both the 1440p60fps and 4k30fps modes. Kept switching back and forth but ultimately kept the 4k resolution. High frames is smooth but you don't notice it much after you play on 30fps after awhile, only right after you switch. ME3 was pretty so ultimately kept it at 4k30fps. Single player experience resolution is better, multiplayer more frames is better

    I can't still remember the amazement I felt when first playing the first game on pc.
    It's a shame this wasn't remastered for the ps5, but the game has some nice improvements and mostly plays great.
    The problem with this series is that the last game was poor storywise, which is a shame after everything you go through in the first two games.

    El juego como cabía de esperar es y sigue siendo una obra maestra de los videojuegos ahora traída remasterizada. Lo he jugado con la retrocompatibilidad de PS5 y la verdad 0 problemas. Todo fluido y perfecto. Por supuesto sobre todo en Mass Effect 1 se nota que el juego es "viejo" la remasterización le sienta bien en términos generales aumenta la resolución y mejora sombras e iluminaciones. Lo importante de este juego es sin duda su historia y su acción desenfrenada con unos controles que da gusto manejar. No tiene (ni nunca tuvo) doblaje al castellano y ese siempre fue mi mayor punto negativo en un juego donde la historia es tan fundamental y donde los personajes te hablan en medio de la batalla y no es posible leer nada mientras te esfuerzas en no morir. En su día pensaba que este juego era de 9 hoy le pongo la misma nota porque es una reedición si bien buena no es perfecta, no se hasta que punto se podía haber mejorado más pero tampoco noto unas diferencias que me hagan volverme loco y la falta de doblaje sigue molestándome mucho. Como siempre he apoyado este juego día 1 con mi compra y volveré a apoyar a la saga cuando salga el próximo Mass Effect

    Update: Got the platinum trophy and finished the whole trilogy at insanity difficulty, story-wise and gameplay, ME2 is still tops, but graphically ME3 just looks superb on the PS4. The ME3 DLC character made the ME3 experience much better, story-wise, and the finale was better executed with Legendary edition.

    Vanguard in Legendary edition is very limited and so are skills and weapons to choose from.
    Playing the original trilogy feels indeed that the games are older (mechanics, combat, skills, facial and moving animations) but I am playing it because of good sci-fi story.

    The graphics with the remaster is decent. It is fun, overhyped, but fun.

    The story and characters are best in Mass Effect 2.

I went in knowing that Mass Effect 1 would be the "roughest" -- the story more than made up for the clunky and aged mechanics. It is wise to be aware of the relative age of the first entry before jumping in. It's worth playing through to fully enjoy the story in the other entries, but it is not the best experience gameplay-wise. Mass Effect 2 and 3 felt thoroughly modern to me, which made enjoying the story across these entries thoroughly enjoyable. Would highly recommend this as anyone who has always been curious about getting into one of the most celebrated gaming series of all time. Expand

    Overall this is a great way to experience this masterpiece of a franchise. It isn't perfect tho, during my playthrough of ME1 I experienced quite a few bugs which is something that had never happened to me in the past - even game breaking ones. ME2 fared much better but still had awkward graphical hiccups and the same goes for ME3. Would have been nice for this to have been a bit more polished since it obviously needs some patches but even in this state I'd call it the best way to play gaming's greatest trilogy.

    P.S. : Don't listen to the russian trolls **** about russian dubs and reviewbombing the game. This is meant to be played in english, if you don't like it, don't play it and shut up.

    Buy this if you haven’t played it and don’t care about the odd facial animations or cheesy pre-2010 cut scenes. The story is one of the best gaming trilogies, I cared about the party members and the density of side missions was a breeze.

Character development is great, story is superb, the acting is excellent, loved the ending (synthesis). It was interesting to see how game development accelerated from ME1 to ME3. Mostly I loved how it engaged me in the characters (Tali, Liara + Kaiden especially) and I became emotionally attached (slightly) to some of them. If I was really critical I would improve the fight dynamics, which were basic at best, and improve movement (Shepherd couldn't run for more than a few seconds in ME1 and ME2!).

If you (like me) never played and finished these games, this is definitely the best way to experience them now. All DLCs included + resolution bump + gameplay changes that make the 1st game less janky is enough to justify this remaster. It isn't perfect, though. The 1st game still has some jank and stutters here and there (i blame Unreal Engine) and some audio glitches (like voices been cut off before the character can finish their sentence) are a few examples i can give as a con for this game, but is it game breaking? Not at all. I recommend buying this trilogy instead of the original 3, you'll save a lot of money by doing so.

    Also, a side note regarding all these negative reviews: this is not a place to vent your frustration about a missing feature or something that you don't like. This game isn't a broken mess, it runs well and it isn't a cash grab. Rating the game 0 or 1 out of 10 just because you can't change VOs or because your language isn't available in the game is not only a childish behavior but also can lead less informed people (but people that don't mind playing game with X Voice Over or english subs) to think somehow that this game is broken or something, which isn't true at all. So you're better off voicing your concerns over EA's forum, not here. And for my fellow brazilians that are complaining about the lack of portuguese subtitles in these games, all i gotta say is: stop being lazy, pay for some decent english classes because that's the kind of knowledge that will stay with you forever. Burst the bubble of your ignorance.

    First time i ever played a Mass Effect game for years i just didnt get round to it and thought nothing of the hype but i was wrong so so so so wrong.

    This game made me laugh, content, angry, satisfied and cry. I dont say this lightly its amazing depending on who is buying the game. My review is more for someone who has never played Mass Effect not that person who has played them all before and wants to know if its worth buying the Legendary Edition.

    Mass Effect one had the most work done on it from what i have read and for a game as old as it is it plays well kinda. the combat is very clunky but its more worth playing for the story telling side of it just so you can understand who shepherd is where he came from and why hes here. Its short and honestly enjoyable its just not a modern game regardless of what they do with it but i cant say it looks worst than say Skyrim.

    Mass Effect 2 is where it just became amazing i love this game its emotional and the combat had a huge huge upgrade the gunplay is fun and the choices in the game really make you think about what you are doing and how you are doing it. graphically its great and its much much smoother than the first.

    Mass Effect 3 is a Weird one at first i was a little taken back by it because theres parts in the game that reminded me of 1 which i think should of maybe stayed there. and things they left behind in 2 which should of come to 3. for example the whole paragon and renegade system just didnt seem as relevant and important as they did in the first 2 but combat, graphics and voice acting was much better.

    Should you buy the Legendary Edition? Yes.

    For people revisiting the game its the perfect package to relive this series in a way that would be bareable because i dont think i could of played the original first game in 2021 not without all the rework. For new players YES YES youve got to play this if you are into Sci Fi its honestly a dream you will fall in love with your crew i have never in my life played a video game and been so invested in the characters. i genuinely was at a point of the thought of risking one of there lives i just couldnt do i made so many choices just so i could keep my team save even if that meant making decisions that morally i didnt agree with. The worlds and lore of the series is a masterpiece this is the video game equivalent to LOTR and Harry Potter in my opinion the Alien Races, Worlds, Cultures and Shepherd are just so indepth you will lose yourself. When i completed these games the only way i can remember feeling the way i felt was when i finished the US Office. 9 Seasons and for it just to end i had a hole in my chest i could only fill by starting it again at Season 1 Episode 1.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mass Effect will go down in history as one of the best told stories in gaming. Gaming fits right between film and literature in terms of deliverable exposition and with the Legendary Edition including all DLC’s as well as an expanded ending, players can truly immerse themselves in this deep and beautiful narrative. Characters are both interesting on a surface level and profound in their respective backstories and motivations. The universe it takes place in is rich and worth looking under every rock. Every visual seems completely intentional with how it fits in the world. Dialogue is well written and performances are gripping. The freedom of choice offers different perspective and experience but it never takes away from the writer’s direction. Gameplay evolves each game while also having its own charm and intricacies to be discovered as you move between them. Specifically with combat, it feels like every aspect was carefully tuned to make sure the players experience remained both fun and engaging. It rewards skill and creativity with preferred builds. Sound design is incredible. Everything hits hard where it needs to and adds a subtle touch where it doesn’t. Gun sounds are pounding and unique. Ambience is perfectly immersive. Music is iconic. Themes will grip your heart and stay stuck in your head. Expand

    I never played Mass effect, and I tried in this new edition. It was the best game I played this year. I was addicted from the start. I did not have any bug which it means they took their time to fix everything and the DLC were great as well.

I do understand the difficulties of doing this, considered how the original trilogy itself has improved from one game to the other. All in all, this game is a solid 8. However, I'm giving it top score to counter balance the rusky crybabies that are giving it a 0 because they don't like the voice overs. Get yourselves an education and play with english audio and subtitles. Who gives a 0 because of that? Oh right, rusky crybabies. Expand

    Either people giving it 0 points because their language is not supported and they are angry (come on play it in english with subtitles the voice acting is amazing especially Martin Sheen) or up to 10 points because they played it and acknowledge its greatness.

So don't let the low score fool you - this game/Mass Effect 1-3 is a blockbuster!!! The story, the decission system and the characters are so overwhelmingly good I can't even tell you if there is something bad about these games. Every minor issue pales in contrast to the amazing overall performance. The improved graphics and built-in DLCs of the Legendary Edition are making this Edition even better. It is hard to believe this game trilogy is already a decade old. The 3rd game is the best of them it is like playing a hollywood blockbuster. And since the extended cut ending is already preinstalled I liked the ending very much. It was a good round up of the overall meaning the story of alle 3 games. Expand

    Can’t speak for Russia and the review bombing but for the American version, this is a solid 10 in every way. The greatest video game trilogy ever remastered, and each game looks amazing. Would recommend to anyone who has or hasn’t played them before.

    I've always been a fan of the Mass Effect Trilogy and when I heard that they were comming out with a remaster I preordered it as soon as possible. The improvements they put into the first game are superb. I have a very hard time putting the game down and go to sleep at times. A definite 10 out of 10.

    A great way to re-experience the original trilogy, and updated graphics and gameplay tweaks for ME1 will make it a great starting point for people new to the series.

    Muito bom. Melhor que Star Wars, os melhores escritores dos anos 80 em mitologia, e criação de universo, cultura reunidos numa única história. A saga do herói com todo as aflições sentindo na flor da pele. Isso não é só um jogo é uma arte. Pra quem não sabe inglês viver na estupides não é desculpa, legenda pt br é a desculpa do acomoddo, e do ignorante.

    Mass Effect: Legendary Edition offers the comprehensive experience that the whole trilogy rightfully deserves. Thanks to this, you can easily forgive it all sorts of small ailments associated with the age of individual parts and you drown dozens of unforgettable hours in the game without blinking an eye. Yes, even after such a long time.

    The Mass Effect Trilogy is incredible. The overarching story and its characters are excellent, and each one was better than the last. I wasn’t sure if these games would hold up in the current environment, but they absolutely do. They’re still worth playing, I recommend them, and to anyone about to jump in — play at a slower pace. Do not rush through. Explore everything they have to offer and relish in their richness.

    No fan of Star-Trek-style science fiction should miss Mass Effect – and this package offers the best version of the trilogy currently available. [Issue#3, p.144]
