    No subtitles and dubbing in Brazilian Portuguese! A shame! A disrespect for the consumer!

    Em pleno ano de 2021 a EA não coloca nem legendas em português do Brasil, no game. O Brasil é o 12 maior mercado de jogos do mundo (de acordo com pesquisas recentes) se isto não é o suficiente, pra eles se esforçarem minimamente pelos fãs brasileiros, não comprarei este jogo. Eu digo NÃO a desvalorização do mercado nacional de games.

    There're some lighting issues in cutscenes, otherwise remaster is well-done. The best way to play ME trilogy in 2021.

    One of the best trilogies in gaming. Don't let Mass Effect 3's ending controversy stop you from buying it. The journey throughout this trilogy is excellent and has cemented itself as my favorite gaming series of all time. The only downside is the lack of multiplayer which was the most fun I've had in the whole series, the rest of the games are still fun though.

    I haven't played the entire series in over six years, I'm 15 hours in my first playthrough of ME:1 and I can't say how amazing the changes they made are.

Where I first had to rush through the game because of clunky controls and boring fights, I find myself enjoying it greatly and even exploring all the planets. The Mako has gotten so much easier to use and control that exploration is enjoyable.

    There are issues, though, like combat from ME:3 brought to 1 & 2 would have made this way more spectacular but I understand it would have been hard to do for a remaster. And, of course, relationship being gender locked will always annoy me, but it is what it is.

    If you're a fan, it's an amazing way to replay the games. If you're a new player, it's the only way you should experience this trilogy.    … Expand

The story of Mass Effect is a game that I hold close to home, as it is still one of my favourite trilogies today.

    The remaster still stays close to the original with the added bonus of improved graphics and shaders and all the DLCs. It lost the multiplayer element of ME3 but the multiplayer was not really a big deal to me.

    The combat is still incredibly fun and strategic if you choose to play on a harder difficulty. The RPG elements like levelling and the important decision making are still one of the best. The story and how you shape it within all three games is one of the best video game story-telling right now and the characters are super memorable with most of them with compelling back stories and satisfying arcs. I would also have to mention the world-building is still incredible to me, how BioWare has able to handle the history of the different alien races and the historical interactions between them is beyond me.

    If you're an OG fan like me, don't wait, pick it up now. And if you're a newcomer and have interest, I strongly recommend giving this trilogy a try, you will not regret it.    … Expand

    I've got a tattoo of ME and I still going to give a bad review. The reason? There's no Portuguese subtitles. I can play in English but the majority of my country can't.
    I would love to show this game to my girlfriend bu she can't speak English.
    3 or 4 people would be enough to translate but EA doesn't give a **** about us.

    I have played the entire mass effect trilogy before, but it was many years ago, and I remember them being very good.

    So a few hours into ME1 in the Legendary collection I'm quite dissapointed. The gameplay is very clunky, the level design feels very outdated, you're basically fighting the same few Geth enemies for the duration of the game and the AI is stupid. This is not at all what I rememberd Mass Effect to be like. So I completed ME1 and played a few hours of ME2 and that is what my memory of Mass Effect is like. ME2 and ME3 is just on a whole different level compared to ME1. The visuals are a big step up, the gameplay is A LOT better, the story is better, the AI is better. ME1 is basically a whole different game and I had just forgotten how old and dated it is.

    My complaint is that the game has performance issues with very obvious frame drops every now and then. I'm playing this on a PS5 and had expected much better performance. I'm not sure if the problem lies with the game though, or if the PS5 backwards compatibility isn't very good.

    I know a lot of people complained about ME Andromeda. Sure it had technical issues. But people were complaining about everything from facial animations to gameplay. Let me tell you this. The facial animations in the original games isn't good. They are down right creepy with staring eyes a lot of the time. They often lack emotion. People simply doesn't remember. As for gameplay, the original games are very dated by modern standards and Andromeda is far superior in that level.

    Overall, the Legendary edition is the best way to experience Mass Effect, whether you've played the series before or not. Just know that you can't escape the fact that the games does feel dated.    … Expand

I knew coming in that the first game was going to be a bit dated so I was prepared for any problems that I may have, and there were a few dealing with the rover thing(I don't remember the actual name). And some minor audio bugs. But other than that it was good. So if I only encountered those minor things In arguably the game that need the most improvements I would assume the next two installment would at least maintain if not improve on the predecessor. The graphics do look fine, gameplay was good considering the date it came out and overall I've had a blast finally getting to play these games. I recommend this to veterans of the franchise and newcomers. It is well worth the $60 price tag with plenty of content to go around that will last you hours I'd almost consider this a steal. I believe most people would be pleased if you give this a deserving chance.

    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.
