    Big Mass Effect fan. Can't stress Mass Effect enough, because 2 & 3 have been and remain utter garbage, an insult even to the core fans of the franchise and BioWare itself.

    If you have never played the franchise, which you should at least entertain, I suggest either buying this on-sale, dramatically, or waiting for a re-release of Mass Effect (1) alone. Don't play Andromeda, and don't even bother playing the sequels. Trust me.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mass Effect 1 - 7/10
    It started off okay but kept on getting better over time. I did all the side quests, most tbh were a chore to get through apart from the DLC one. Your best option is to skip those but I wanted to try it anyway.

    I played with Wrex and Liara the entire way, was probably the best option as Wrex and the Krogan seemed like the most interesting and tragic race, and Wrex’s clash in Virmir was solid. Liara was solid too with her knowledge of the Protheans, which is useful in Ilos.

    The lore and story behind Reapers vs Protheans were solid too. Nice twist with Citadel being a relay. Saren by the end was pretty compelling too, he saw himself as the hero, and he felt justified to help the reapers, so that Organics may survive, but by the end you realise he's been indoctrinated.

    I played the game for 30 hours, it might have paced better at 20 hours. The graphics and animations don't age well at all, pretty bad for its time too tbh. Sometimes the animations and movements of characters in this game are soo bad that it's funny. Voice acting can get rough at times. But for other characters like Wrex and Saren, their voice acting is good. The game needs a lot more quality-of-life improvements:
    - You can't see what you did on a planet until you land.
    - After you complete a planet, it should tell you if you did so and if there are any missing objectives I could still do.
    - Icons on the map and inconsistent too. Sometimes an x means you did the objective while other times it's a point of interest.

    But it's compensated with its compelling way of telling the story in main missions and giving you pivotal decisions to make. Also, its worldbuilding of the different races was spot on.

    Mass Effect 2 - 7/10
    Mass Effect 1 to me was better. The only solid loyalty missions were Mordin’s and Grunt’s.

    Loyalty Mission Reviews
    Grunt - 9/10
    I already found Krogans really interesting so seeing their homeworld tuchanka I knew was gonna be fun. Seeing Wrex, the shaman and others react to Grunts predicament created amazing dialogue exchanges. Krogans, especially Wrex and Grunt are Peak in Mass Effect!
    Mordin - 8/10
    There was a pretty good debate between Shepherd and Mordin. Normally Shepherd is more passive but this time he felt like he had a strong stance and so did Mordin, leading to clashing ideals. Seeing the ramifications of the Genophage and seeing Mordin still try to rationalise it was compelling.
    But then Mordins student was a direct foil to Mordin, and I loved it! He had way better counterpoints than Shephard. The exchange was very grey, where honestly it looked like the student was the good guy, even though the testing method was questionable.
    Garrus - 7/10
    His was good cuz I saved Solidus. Not too sure if it would have been good otherwise, I exhausted all dialogue to the point it subverted expectations where Solidus was a good guy.
    Liara - 7/10
    The Shadow Broker was anticlimactic. But the DLC improves when Shepherd vents his frustration to Liara on Normandy.
    Miranda - 7/10
    Solid mission with sweet ending of savings Mirandas sis.
    Samara - 7/10
    Gameplay was fun, at least it wasn't just a shooter or trailing mission.
    Kasumi - 6/10
    Really nice and short mission. Didn't expect a stealth infiltration mission in ME. But I couldn't care less about Kasumi.
    Jacob - 6/10
    Would have been better if we knew more concretely what his dad was thinking.
    Jack - 6/10
    Pretty predictable. Nothing interesting.
    Thane - 5/10
    The kid and his issues towards his father were not developed enough. The tailing mission gameplay was boring and basic. Disappointing since Thane seemed pretty interesting. Especially his 1-to-1s, those are really damn good.
    Zaed - 5/10
    I don't even know the guy lol. The revenge plot with Garrus was done better.
    Tali - 5/10
    Boring characters and dialogue before boarding Aleria. Tali's dad being the culprit was very predictable.

    I don't know why this one is highly regarded, not much of a suicide mission if everyone lives, plus it was just 3 short submissions and the final boss was dull. ME1 lore about Saren, Protheans and Reapers was more compelling than ME2’s collectors being Prothean. Plus all we really learned is that Harbinger is coming by the end. Nothing I did felt like it really mattered tbh.

    ME3 - 7/10
    ME3 somehow is even more linear than ME2. The ending of the synthesis of organics and robots was goofy. But the other endings were not any better. At least they had the Genophage cure in this game. The sequences for that were top-tier. But then it was taken over by the Qurain storyline which was not even nearly as good.

    Trilogy
    Not too sure why anyone would say this is a masterclass of storytelling. It does have high peaks but also has very low and persistent peaks too. Your best off watching Dr Who instead.    … Expand

    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.

    Limited ammo. Freaking limited ammo, in the world that invented a mass effect technology, which made limited ammo literally obsolete. It's like shooting flintlock riffle after an automatic. And when the gun is out of ammo("heatsinks")? Yo guess it it stops shooting.

    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.    … Expand

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.

Mass Effect was the (good) Star Wars for video games. It created a universe full of interesting characters, stories, history, conflicts, alien species, politics, technology, ideologies and cultures. The lore was so good that I had many good discussions with friends and read many articles in the Mass Effect Wiki. You have also a codex in each game where you can look up things for more details. Then they had a unique idea for the Mass Effect games. You can import your decisions into the next games. This was as interesting as impactful. Many of us had again so good discussions and arguments what the best course of action was or which outcome the decisions will have. There were a lot of mayor and some minor decisions that gave you different results in the follow up games. Then came the conclusion for the trilogy that shatter everything. I mentioned in my reviews for the individual games that I wanted to replay all of them to get my favourite (and satisfying) outcomes. Now this is not enjoyable. Again to be fair the journey was beautiful and well worth my time while the end undoes nearly everything. Technical they overhauled the games and it hits more than it misses. I shorten it with you get what you expect. Overall I still feel a strong disappointment for the ending as this could be the best trilogy in gaming.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So mass effect is one of my favorite RPGs of all time.
    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.
    This is still worth a play in my opinion and still holds up, just get it on a sale    … Expand

    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.

    For those who have not played the original however, the game is a really fun, sci-fi drama adventure with interesting characters and worlds to explore. The gameplay is a third-person shooter with light RPG elements. The second and third game are VERY light on the RPG elements, keep that in mind. If you're looking for a fun action game with a good story, characters and fun world to explore look no further than the Mass Effect trilogy.

    However, to be fair, even though I love the First game and like the second, the third game is rather lackluster and the DLCs for 2 and 3 are both underwhelming on the length and depth side. Also, another gripe of mine is the 'morality' decisions in the game sometimes do not make any sense. If you can ignore these things and horrid ending of the 3rd game then you will have a genuinely good time.    … Expand

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.

    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.

    There is a bit improvement in regards to how the cinematic looks and some overall Visual Character improvements.
    Some area's with bosses are now better due to added cover.
    Loading times for the most part have been shortened.

    Minus the :O

    Why the hell are you forced to run EA's crappy Origin to play Single Player games on steam? Bad Move EA no micro-transactions for you.

    For ME1 there have been barely any improvements in regards to the quality of the product I can't even say that its a Remaster to be honest. The entire game is as always very janky and the Mako is still incredibly awful when you control it over terrain, combat is also the same broken mess as the previous version.

    For ME2 Visually it looks great and the missions handle very well for the most part. My only issue is with the Camera angles which are worse than the original ME2 which I did not know it could be possible, characters phase or become fully invisible in some parts of the conversations.

    For ME3 I cant say that there are improvements on it visually and it looks like the original version.I keep experiencing camera issues when having conversations with the characters which I think never showed up on the original game.

    Overall it's fine if you want the entire collection + DLC on your steam Library but I can't say that there is anything really ''REMASTERED'' as they claim. I would suggest buying this on sale ( around 50%-60% off).    … Expand

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.

The story isPlayed it for the first time, and its my second favorite series of all time. I hope bioware will continue the series and bring back the old pals.

The gameplay is still fun, (well except the first mass effect but i played every good game before this one so it was kinda hard to still impress me, but i still had fun with the shooting in mass effect 2 and 3)… Expand

    One of the most interesting sci-fi universes in gaming. Very good game and I'm padding for the 75 character requirement

    I seldom give a score of 10 to any game but ME Legendary Edition is truly astounding, especially if you're already a fan. If you're a 10 year old Fortnite player you'll probably hate it. That makes me love it even more.

    Троллинг от Bioware "Как-то раз мой младший брат спросил меня: они действительно объединили все три игры в одну? Я ответил ему: нет, они просто добавили лаунчер :) "

    Fantastic setting, lore and story. Missed out on Mass Effect when it originally came out but so glad I finally got to it. Sucked me in for dozens of hours. A must play for anyone interested in western RPG.

    Easy 8/10 for me and it could be even higher if it had some quality of life additions like being able to skip cutscenes. The controls also feel pretty aged and not as fluid as they could/should be. They're by no means bad, but there is a clear distinction between "good" and "great"
    Other than that it a pretty decent story, but the secret stars of the show are the characters, there are so    Easy 8/10 for me and it could be even higher if it had some quality of life additions like being able to skip cutscenes.

    Masterpiece in every level. I’ve been gaming since 1996 and nothing even comes close to how epic this trilogy is, and the Legendary Edition is the definitive way to experience it.

    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    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.    … Expand

    Amazing opportunity for new players to enjoy the trilogy. First game is remastered very well. As for the games the slowly unfolding mystery, good sounds, good written characters and interactions between npcs makes it a good game. Especially the second game, damn masterpiece

    One of the best game in the history got review bombed because Portugees can´t speak human language. I don´t really know how to address that and remain not vulgar.
    Mass Effect Legendary Edition is amazing and I am really glad that same as Fallen Order, this game showed EA´s overlords that single player RPG games are highly desired by us, gamers.

    This game is nostalgic and well made. I'm very satisfied with my own playthrough as an Engineer class. Was worthwhile adding a mod in ME2 to remove the weapon limitations and gain access to all weapons even as Engineer. In my own experience, I'm probably going to play it again as a Biotic.

    I loved playing through 1 but 2 is probably one of the worst games I've played! It's generic restrictive dull and boring as hell! Can't speak for the 3rd because I have to finish that trash 2 before 3.

    If you are new to this game do not read negative comments, just play the game, there are a lot of negative reviews just because of some local problems that does not make the game worse.

    It's a full 10. The lack of Miranda's rear is well made up for by the continuation to stick it to the Portuguese 'reading' 'people'. They can't subtitle for every minor language on earth.

    Un pequeño labado de cara sobre todo en el 1. Buen HDR y resolucion a 4K. En su dia fue un juego que me cautivo, ahora tengo la misma sensacion otra vez o igual que cuando lo juge en su dia. HISTORION!!! Le daria un 10 si seria nuevo. Suerte los que habeis descubierto el juego ahora.

    Great release, ME1 is greatly improved, all three games feel the same as they did before, was definitely waiting for this one since i've bought my ps4. Nostalgia hits hard though, i am almost crying every time i'm playing having flashbacks from 13-10 years ago. Thanks EA.

    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]
