    For me at least, this update still just confirms that this is the best game series ever made in my mind. It's so good, that I see it's already made it's legion of spam review haters. That's when officially you know it's amazing.

    Only 3 years ago did I first play "Mass Effect" on my Xbox. I placed in the disc expecting a simple space drama with aliens and fighting. By the end of the third game I had fallen in love with every character and had genuinely cried at several points across the series. As soon as I could I pre-ordered legendary edition and I wholeheartedly believe it is one of the best purchases I have ever made.

    I'll keep things brief here but go in depth on the individual game posts.

    3) Mass Effect (2007) 8/10. The game that kickstarted the franchise is a classic and is essential for anyone who's a fan of RPGs. Creating your commander or going with the default is your choice. For new players I'd suggest the default Shepard as this provides the easiest gameplay. This game established the brilliant and inventive world of Mass Effect as well as setting the foundation for the future of the incoming reaper threat. The companions all have something interesting to bring to the table allowing for genuine drama and heartbreak later down the line.

    2) Mass Effect 2 (2010) 10/10 this game gives more of a backseat to the story and has its main focus as the characters. From the start of the game you're told that you most likely won't survive but you have to save the galaxy. Everything from the first game is improved and we have a much bigger crew which actually makes sense considering the stakes. Every companion brings something to the table, even the two I disliked in the form of Jacob and Zaeed. I enjoyed that the crew didn't always get along and you needed to gain their loyalty and settle arguments, and that final battle is a truly epic spectacle with heart and action that I'd argue rivals some modern films.

    1) Mass Effect 3 (2012) 10/10 now I understand this is a controversial first place but I loved it. From start to finish there's emotion, humour, brilliant character moments and action. All the characters we love have their arcs finished in satisfying ways. There's heartbreaking decisions, conflicting moral choices and the struggle to unite a galaxy. Leaving Earth is the best opening to any of these games where you just need to survive. And that final battle of taking back Earth is a strong emotional victory lap that's well-earned. Is it self-indulgent at times, yes but rightly so. The Citadel DLC is pure fan-service but it does it masterfully and is self-aware at how goofy it's trying to be. All the characters come back making for a fun time while also carrying a somber tone knowing they're all going into the crescendo that is stopping the reapers. The highlight of this for me was the visits to Shepard's apartment and the party where each character basically got an emotional or fun goodbye and at the end all got to get loose and laugh one last time. This was a perfect ending to me and I was left heartbroken but happy at the end.    … Expand

    J’ai fait la trilogie trois fois sur 360 et une quatrième sur PC, j’ai tout retourné très consciencieusement : je pensais en avoir « fini » avec cette saga d’exception, d’autant que le Mass Effect de nouvelle génération, l’infâme Andromerda fut une véritable trahison… et un terrible affront (il a de fait fini « oublié »… dans le vide-ordures).

    Or, voilà-t-y pas qu’aussitôt lancé ce «    J’ai fait la trilogie trois fois sur 360 et une quatrième sur PC, j’ai tout retourné très consciencieusement : je pensais en avoir « fini » avec cette saga d’exception, d’autant que le Mass Effect de nouvelle génération, l’infâme Andromerda fut une véritable trahison… et un terrible affront (il a de fait fini « oublié »… dans le vide-ordures).

    Or, voilà-t-y pas qu’aussitôt lancé ce « remaster » du triptyque, je replonge aussi sec dans ce monde stupéfiant et fascinant de space opera épique, drôle, dramatique, furieux, émouvant… sidéral et sidérant ! je croyais les connaître par coeur ces trois jeux et pourtant, je redécouvre encore des choses, car la mémoire est sélective et contrairement à un Drell, on ne se souvient pas de tout…!

    Evidemment, la belle couche de peinture a redonné une seconde jeunesse à cette épopée (avec tous les DLC ici) et si le Bioware d’aujourd’hui est devenu l’ombre d’antan, égaré désormais dans des merdes comme « Anthem », les artistes et les programmeurs qui se sont occupé de cette édition légendaire n’ont pas ménagé leurs efforts : c’est magnifique et ça tourne comme un rêve en 4K/60 sur Series X. Puisse ce retour vers ce passé glorieux leur redonner le talent qu’avait ce studio à l’éqoque (révolue) de l’exceptionnelle saga !

    Quelques modifications de détails ont été apportées ici et là (en dehors des graphismes) afin de rendre le premier ME moins rigide (ça chauffe moins du côté des armes par exemple). Néanmoins, l’identité des trois jeux reste inchangée : ils sont à la fois très semblables et… sensiblement différents. Ce remaster n’est certainement pas un « remake » et on n’en voudrait pas de toute façon !

    Le combat à pause tactique est de plus en plus raffiné, d’épisode en épisode, de plus en plus spectaculaire ; la musique devient plus personnelle et surtout les conséquences de nos actes se répercutent d’un Mass Effect à l’autre ! c’est tout à fait unique et toujours inégalé à ce jour.

    On a donc ici l’expérience originale, fabuleuse et intacte de ces aventures palpitantes, si bien écrites qu’on se rend compte à quel point une telle expérience est rare dans le petit monde des grands jeux de rôle et tout cela, sans verser dans le moindre monde ouvert inutilement trop grand. Il en résulte ici une densité, une mise en scène, une épaisseur des plus appréciables.

    Cependant, en ce qui concerne Mass Effect 3, un léger souci demeure, hélas… il s’agit de sa fin, la toute fin elle-même qui clôt de façon clairement décevante toute la trilogie… pourquoi avoir fait si alambiqué alors que la simplicité des fins des deux premiers ME s’imposait d’elle-même ? une fin décevante et une conclusion maladroite (ou plutôt des conclusions maladroites…) mais le reste du jeu et des deux jeux précédents (et d’un paquet de DLC) sont si exceptionnels qu’on passe l’éponge : la vraie fin si je puis dire, ce sera le DLC Citadelle, car c’est ainsi dont on veut se souvenir de Mass Effect 3.

    Les Mass Effect restent en tout cas inoubliables, non seulement par leur narration et leur univers mais également par leurs personnages excellement écrits, car les ME sont décidément des chef-d’oeuvres à part (en dehors de la fin de ME3), une déclaration d’amour à la science-fiction toute entière et au genre du jeu de rôle en particulier. Cette édition légendaire porte bien son nom, un vrai testament !    … Expand

    The real criminal act here is why we can't review this when it's on CURRENT GEN consoles, which means PS5/Xbox Series X. It's an absolute joke that these reviews have to cover the PS4/Xbox One, because the game runs even better on PS5/Series X.

    On Series X this Mass Effect Legendary edition runs at 120 HZ/120 FPS ON XBOX SERIES X...something the PS5 does NOT do for this game.

    The main selling point of the franchise is the many improvements made to the outdated Mass Effect 1. Now, are these changes drastic? Yes. Is the combat better than 2 and 3? Hell no.

    Adding on the absurd amount of achievements that can be reached, (for large pools of points) this collection is amazing for returning fans, and new ones alike.

    Even if you've recently played the games, it's still worth the $50-$60USD for the many improvements.

    This is great value, as you get three games with each of 20-25hrs of gametime, and if you have gamepass it makes it even better. This was a series i've heard about but never played until just now, and man I wished I did so when it first came out.

This was a series i've heard about but never played until just now, and man I wished I did so when it first came out. The individual games I'll give probably different scores than 10/10, but the value for this is too dang good.

    ME1: Very solid game, but clunky at times with the combat, the interface/menu screens, the Mako is way overused and is so boring. They did do updates to this game to try to make up for some of it's flaws, but this game did not hold up as well as the other two games. However, I still think this game is very solid experience and one could argue it's the best story of the three games, and it does give you the sense of exploration and lore, and the story is very good, with great villains as well. I would give this game a grade of 8/10

    ME2: This is probably the most highly regarded game of the three. Major improvements from the first game, and best part is all the different companions that you have. The first game has good core companions,, but they aren't the most likable at the start and get better in the second or third game. They did away with the mako, although the dlc with the hammerhead or whatev. that vehicle was called was just as boring. I do like most of the companions in the second game, and I think most will have their favorites. I like the story of the second game, although one of the DLCs, I think it's the arrival, I played that midway through the game and was odd, until I learned that's the DLC meant for afterstory of the main game to tie in the third game. Also the paragon and renegade options lead to some funny moments and much improved from the first game, as the first game it wasn't really clear what that was being new to the series. I would give this game a grade of 10/10

    ME3: This game is where I think it's not as well done. I did read that this game was rushed and you can tell it was. First of all, I don't know why they decided to have less companions, and you're really screwed if you lose two of the sidekicks in the second game. So that means you're down to five companions, and then of those one of them are DLC, which honestly you can miss that character easily. This was something I didn't like, as you can visit some of the companions from the last game, or maybe they team up with you for one quest, but it's a downgrade from the second game. Also, I did not like EDI as a companion at all and what they did to her character. The story is very hit or miss. I didn't like the ending, and honestly the last hour of the story just drags on too long, and the combat although is fine, some of the quests are just boring and going against cerberus had lead to some glitches and just really boring fights as a whole, especially against kai leng, which has some of the worst boss fights ever.. I would give this game a grade of 7/10

    Overall, I enjoyed this series, hopefully they make a forth game of the main series

    Most of what I wanted in a ME1 remaster/remake have been accomplished, though a bit more should have been done to at least make combat identical to ME2, but it's not too far off. ME1 definitely feels way more modernized than its original release, but still feels a bit old. Some people complain that Pinnacle Station DLC wasn't included, but why are you complaining? Pinnacle Station literally added nothing of importance to the game, it was just a boring combat simulation. Good riddance I say. I also see that they didn't adjust any of the volumes in the conversations, most notably on the Normandy. I still struggle to hear many of Garrus' lines, his volume for his dialogue is still way too low. Bioware sure loves their lens flares, and they went overboard in ME1. They really need a patch to bring it back in some, as it's way too much.

    Outside of graphics overhauls and stability, ME2 and ME3 remain mostly unchanged. However bugs and glitches are more prevalent than they were in the original releases. ME2 has lots of audio bugs, that make me wince at some of them. ME3 has AI bugs. For instance, using the Throw biotic makes many enemies permanently stay on the ground. It's like the AI thinks it's still in the air while being on the ground, unable to do anything. Animations for both games are off. While both had some in original releases, it feels like there's more of them. In cutscenes, when Shepard has their hand against their ear to talk over comms, pretty much every instance has their hand a good few inches off their ear, or a character had their hands wrapped weirdly against their gun. It seems as if they redid many animations from scratch, and they released a rough version of it without and additional oversight.

    Overall, a great remaster, and I loved the ME1 improvements the most. Once the bugs and glitches get fixed through future updates, this will be the way to play the greatest series ever.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is probably my favorite series of all time. Although a few things in the Legendary should have been changed imo. I'm going to start by addressing the negative comments coming from people about "removing" Miranda's butt, and more first. First off the removal was because fans for 5 years were **** about it being in Mass Effect 2 in the first place. It gets removed and y'all **** There's no pleasing you. Mass Effect 1 played exactly how the entire series should have, anyone complaining about the combat wanted to play a shooter not a tactical RPG. Let's address the price, 3 games plus all but 1 DLC for 29.99 USD. I spent 20 for my vanilla copy of ME1 ON PC literally just the other day. Finally let's address the people screaming this isn't a remake. They're right. But no where during marketing did EA or Bioware say it was going to be. The LE is exactly as marketed, an HD higher Frame rate, better looking release with all DLC. While Yes, I want a remake making the series more RPG like, and fixing some things, in lines with Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4, I didn't purchase this thinking it was that. If you did, you should probably give your consoles to someone who deserves them. Let's start with Mass Effect 1 my favorite of the 3. The addition of a mark as trash was great, but should have been extended to mods for weapons and armor. Some of the left out cheat console items should have been added back. The "lost" dlc that you can still buy should have been rewritten to be included. Finally the most annoying aspect the mako should have been reworked. It still controls like crap, making planetary exploration tedious instead of fun. Mass Effect 2 is next, it should have been made to be more RPG like from the get go. The addition of thermal clips, and loss of omnigel for bypassing took out a lot of the SciFi from the game. The lack of weaponry, the lack of weapon stats, real armor, and inventory items made the game more fps and less RPG . Mass Effect 3 is final. This game tried to blend the two previous games to make everyone happy, and it did a great job. However once you hit priority Tunchanka the rest of the game feels rushed, like they were told finish this game within the next 6 months. So every choice you made, every ally you made, doesn't really mean anything in the scheme of the ending. It goes from gathering allies to help fight a war, to you pick the end. Whoever wrote this ending should have been fired.… Expand

Mass effect 1: Great effort but the game and gameplay still feels old. I know it is not easy job to remaster such an old game and to try it to make it look like a last generation game but I think they could have done more. 80% of locations looks like empty spaces with random simple furniture spread around. Combat feels old as well movement is clunky and could have been improved a lot. Cutscenes are tremendous and the final mission is just great. Mass affect 2: Tremendous remaster and great CGI. Audio improvements adds a lot to the experience. Best ending in a videogame in IMO. Never played any of the DLCs and got to play all of them for the first time. Shadow broker and the Batarian asteroid mission was incredible, I felt like playing a new game again for a while. Graphic and audio improvements are astonishing and I felt that I was actually playing a last gen Game at some point.

    Mass effect 3: Haven't finished yet but I am 10 hours deep and I am just enamoured by every single aspect of it. Again haven't played the DLCs before and I've just scratched the surface of some of them and I it feels like playing a totally new game. Omega invasion is particularly huge, and amazing, new lore, new squad members and awesome CGI sequences that kept me in the edge of my seat. Combat on mass effect 3 is a good as I remembered, It feel like I am playing gears of war but on drugs, which feels as good as it sounds. In conclusion, if you are some one who played only the main game a lot of years ago, I would suggest you to skip the first game and go straight to ME2 and 3. DLCs will make you think you are actually playing a new installment of the franchise, which is refreshing since it's seems like there is still a long wait until ME4 gets released.    … Expand

    Most of the upgrades have been made to ME 1, as that's the oldest one obviously, and they did a pretty good job here. The upgrades to the graphics are very impressive, outside of a few misses with some character models like with Captain Anderson and Udina. Both of them have issues with their eyes almost bugging out of their heads on some cutscenes and Udina's skin pigmentation seems to fluctuate weirdly. The gameplay was updated to be almost exactly like ME 2, without some of the more enjoyable classes that game brought with it though. However it didnt all stick as the controls for the cover system are just garbage and made me just never want to use cover at all. And the updates to the Mako's controls are nice but really doesnt do much to make those segments of the game any more enjoyable then they were before. However it was a fun and refreshing experience as the biggest and best upgrade, for those playing on a Series X at least, is the massive decrease of load times across all titles. I'd say about a 1/3rd of the time I spent with the original ME games, all 3 of them, were just staring at loading screens, especially the first game. The load times here are so short that it really lets the game flow much better then it ever has before and kept me interested and entertained throughout the entire thing. Its one of the biggest updates that was made to each game and it easily does the most to making this the best remaster it could be.
    While each game shows its age in certain areas, especially ME 1, this is still one of the best original video game trilogies that's been released in decades. For those who went through the game before, I'd definitely say its worth it just for the lack of load times by itself. That alone made this a much more enjoyable experience then I thought would be possible. For newcomers I cant recommend it enough.    … Expand

On that note, I'm fine maxing this one out at an 8 simply because of how much I love the story of these games.

    I can't speak about the non-english dubbing/dialogue options. In my opinion, that seems to be a fairly valid complaint if it truly makes the game unplayable.

    For people complaining about this game costing the same as a brand new game, you guys and gals realize this is three games in one, right? Even if I purchased the backwards compatible versions of all three games with all DLC, I'd probably spend a similar amount of money if not more. That's pretty nit-picky and borderline invalid to me.

    For people complaining about the lack of improvements outside of ME1, there is some validity to that but I think the graphics and gameplay were well enough in ME2 and ME3 when they initially released to where lack of significant improvements really doesn't turn me off to the remaster. Now... If EA/Bioware ever remaster Dragon Age Origins and/or Dragon Age 2 (which I hope they do), they definitely need to upgrade gameplay and graphics.

    My only true complaint about the game is related to material gathering. For ME1, the difference between a drivable surface and non-drivable surface is frustrating and can needlessly add 10-15 minutes to planet exploration. For ME2, they should've restructured or even redone material gathering/planet probing. The amount of time spent probing planets and spending time flying back-and-forth between a fuel station to buy more probes is probably comparable to actual play time. I'd imagine reducing probe locations while increasing materials gathered per probe launch would've been a fairly easy solution.

    All-in-all, I'm happy with my purchase and look forward to getting a few playthroughs in.    … Expand

    Jumping back into the Mass Effect universe with a new coat of paint is fun. But I was hoping for a bit more than just a new coat of paint. The textures and models look good, but as far as I can tell they didn't touch the sound design or animations. With 14 years of tech to build out ME1, the end result is pretty but still has a lot of the janky mechanics that launched with the first game.Jumping back into the Mass Effect universe with a new coat of paint is fun.

At $60 for all three games and DLCs, it's a great deal for anyone coming to Mass Effect for the first time.

    There are changes to improve the implementation of DLC weapons and Armor, but its not perfect, for example the N7 Defender Armor in ME:3 which was a collectors edition exclusive is no longer avilable at the start and must be bought for 80,000 credits, this is strange because there is in game email from Admiral Hackett telling us that he bought it for Shepard (the player), which of course that is no longer the case,

    Also 3 achievement are bugged and have yet to be patched so they unlock correctly, witch bring me to the point that the total Gamerscore is that can be earnt is 2915, that's less than if you bought all 3 original copy's of the base games with out the DLC, and there's not even a Achievement for completing the Arrival DLC in ME2.

    It's not the best remake, but it's serviceable and still a great time. If this were my first time playing the trilogy, or if there were less new bugs, my score would be higher. ME1 has the most improvements and they make it so the player may actually want to do as much as possible rather than skip as much Mako gameplay as possible. 100% recommend this to anyone who has never played theIt's not the best remake, but it's serviceable and still a great time.

    As EA finally added an option to choose VO and subs language separately, I'm changing my review to be relevant. Mass Effect was and still is a universally loved masterpiece, and seeing it refreshed, seeing the renewed interest of the community, both old and new is heartwarming. Despite all that, I'm here to rate Legendary Edition on its own.

    LE is basically a quick and rather cheap way for EA and Bioware to attract interest to ME franchise as a whole, after Andromeda failure and before new Mass Effect game. While graphical and gameplay changes are welcome, there is obvious lack of technical polish. Bugs that are older than a lot of teenagers are still there for our despair, and there are also some new (nasty) ones.

    I really hope it all will be fixed in the end, and what we get is a clean, polished and convenient Mass Effect trilogy for us to return to from time to time and reflect on our memories of playing it for the first time ever.    … Expand

    Well, this also contains Mass Effect 3, so I can't give it a super high rating.

    How about this: ME1 9/10 + ME2 9/10 + ME3 0/10 = 6/10

    this game looks really good but it is buggy and needs work on the odd behavior of the IA. These problem are new to the game...... Why dose a rerelease have new bug issues? No troll I really want to know

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played all the games back in 2007-2012 and even named my daughter that was born 2011 Tali. That is how much I loved Mass Effect after having spent hundred of hours in ME and ME2. Then came ME3 and it sucked so hard that I did not touch the games at all again until now with the legendary edition.

    So how different do I think the game(s) feel now almost ten years later? Well, ME and ME2 are still good games and even still great from a story perspective but ME3 is still there to ruin the entire experience. Yes, there is a huge numbers of DLC included and they are supposed to make the last entry of this series more palatable than it was when I finished it back in 2012. But ME3 is still the retarded sibling to the great ME and the perhaps even greater ME2.

    ME3 lacks dialog choices and I feel like I am watching a movie with some exciting moments in it but my Shepard is more or less railroaded and does not feel like my Shepard at all in ME3, it feels like he just became a shadow or and imposter of my Shepard that I played through ME and ME2. This makes the game very disappointing despite the improvements to the combat mechanic that now with the Legendary edition is actually ok even in the first ME.

    The story that started out as a space opera that was all about hope and victory against impossible odds, not unlike the original Star Wars trilogy, sadly turns into an artsy fartsy attempt at being edgy in the last installment. ME3 is a very beautiful shell but a shell nonetheless and a very empty shell once opened at that. The ending of the different story lines is deeply unsatisfactory and the ending(s) of the ME3 and the entire saga is just as bad now as it was almost ten years ago, I would dare say it is even worse now as it feels so bad despite me being older and not as emotional as I was when I was younger.

    So my recommendation to all players that love the ME-universe is this, play the first two installments and consider Shepard’s and his crew and love interest story finished after ME2. By killing sovereign and destroying the collector base you made the reaper invasion impossible and you stopped the cycle and Shepard and his friends can take a well deserved vacation and Shepard and his love interest can live happily ever after. Because what is so wrong with a happy ending? There is too much sadness and doom and gloom in the world right now and even back in 2012 and I still feel that Shepard and the players that loves or loved this franchise deserved to be able to get a happy ending to the epic story but instead we got the equivalent to Luke Skywalker committing suicide by flinging himself down the reactor pit instead of fighting the impossible odds and defeating the Empire.

    I know that games and stories where the main protagonists ends up winning is not “modern” but I still really believe that one of the colored endings should have given just that.

    ME1 10 points and ME2 10 points but the disappointment that is ME3 really sours the entire dish as the landing of the entire trilogy actually matters a lot, it is not all about the journey because the destination is also important. And this journey felt like flying first class just to crash land in taliban controlled parts of Afghanistan. So I cannot in good conscience give this package more than 5 because of the terrible last installment and the even worse ending to what could have been the best sci fi and space opera experience of the **** century.    … Expand

    Classic EA cash-grab. The original games are great, but this "Legendary Edition" is nothing more than a lazy coat of paint in the form of better textures. The opportunity here was to remake the trilogy, updating game systems, progression, facial animations, tweaking storylines, righting old wrongs and throwing in some fun new side stories. But no. A lazy coat of paint is what we got.

    It is impossible to highly appreciate a game in which there is no elementary function of a separate choice of voice acting language and interface language. BioWare, add this to the game, stop bullying players in Russia.

    While not perfect, especially when it comes to combat in Mass Effect 2, Mass Effect Legendary Edition is still a gem. Most of the changes were put into Mass Effect 1, and the effort made it far more replayable than the original. Mass Effect 3 holds up the best of the three, proving that regardless of the controversial ending, it is still one of the best gaming experiences BioWare has made to date. Mass Effect 2 could’ve done with some more tweaking to bring it up to 3’s combat. Legendary Edition gives hope for the future of the franchise.

    Mass Effect Legendary Edition is the best way to experience one of the most memorable trilogies in video game history. The remake doesn't just capitalizes on the nostalgia of an entire generation of gamers – it keeps the original experience intact while modernizing it, opening the door to a whole new legion of fans who have here the greatest example of Bioware's magic.
