Mass Effect: Legendary Edition

The Mass Effect series will forever have a special place in my heart. The characters, the music and the story are still state of the art. And to experience that now in modern graphics with improved combat is a gift. The first part is the best when it comes to world building. The second has the best characters and especially with the illusive man one of my absolute favourite characters. The third has the best combat system and the most emotional decisions. Only the ending is not perfect, but not disappointing. I'm really looking forward to the fourth one, but even Andromeda is worth playing. Play Mass Effect!

Absolutely masterful! Love this trilogy so much. Had an absolute blast playing through these games! ME2 is among the greatest singular games I've ever played and this having all 3 on one game makes it even better. When I finally reached the ending with the character I had played all 3 games with, it brought tears to my eyes. 10/10.

I was a young boy who had never played the Mass Effect trilogy. I tried to play the first one and like a fool I grew impatient with the controls and ordained it an obsolete game. Cut to a month ago when I bought this collection and decided to indoctrinate myself into the Mass Effect lore. This game gave me chest hair and turned my water into hard whiskey.

If you've never played these games, please don't sleep on them. If you're looking for a game to sit down and spend hour upon hours playing, look no further. Some of the finest sci-fi to ever be made. Also bonus point because of Miranda.

The Mass Effect Trilogy is a testament to writing in games how we can be transported to other worlds and taken on the adventure of a lifetime and find ourselves on a journey that we experience with unforgettable characters who melt and break our hearts through untimely deaths to tear-jerking goodbyes, the Mass Effect Trilogy has it all.

I have been with the series since the first game back in 2007. And have been replaying the trilogy countless times seeing all the different outcomes ( Of which there are many) and have been a die-hard fan ever since.

There is so much good I can say about the game but it's best if I start with its strongest aspect, The characters, and races of the Mass Effect World.

Mass effect features a wide range of interesting and diverse characters from the regular everyday human, to the Big brody Turian with a heart of Gold, To the isolated Quarian who shines through all, and to the beautiful Asari and their cunning intellect, as well as The Salarians, Batarians, Volus, Elcor, Hannar, Vorcha, Protheans, Krogan, and Drell. There are so many characters featured across all the known races.

The main side characters that accompany you throughout your journey are what makes these games great each game gives you a selection of characters to get to know and to take on missions with from fan favorites Garrus Vakarian and Tali Zorah you will form bonds with your crew as you journey through the Milky Way Galaxy. Talking to them and learning their backstories and alien cultures are what make this game extremely immersive, the world-building is spectacular through dialogue with characters to the scenery via combat and the hub worlds.

The combat in the games evolves from game to game and sees drastic improvements in the 3rd game. The gameplay revolves around a 3rd person cover-based shooter with tactical elements thrown into the mix, you can command your squad of two to use their abilities to help you progress through the levels.

The choices you make throughout the trilogy define what kind of experience you will have and it will be unique to you when you play the journey should feel your own so make the choices that you feel you would. The game has nail-biting life-or-death decisions that could result in the loss of a companion or saving the life of the character you care about.

This is my favorite Si fi franchise of all time I have loved it since 2007 and I still love it in 2022.

If I were to be more specific, Mass Effect would probably be a 9 and Mass Effect 2 a 9.5.

The first chapter in this trilogy was great because of its dialogue, pacing, good rpg elements etc. ,without question. But also without question, some of its controls felt a little old school and stange. I still like them, but I also prefer the second game's improvements in many ways. Mass Effect 2 would be close to a 10/10, because of its interesting story and expansion of the universe and characters, including returning, and many new version of the universe. Just a really outstanding rpg that holds up really well in this updated version.

I have not completed the 3rd game yet, but I beleive so far they have done a great job stringing events together across games. It all comes down to the ending as everything does, I guess.
