Mass Effect: Legendary Edition

Sound the bell, roll out the carpet, open the gates, for the king has returned with remastered graphics and high fps. This is the definitive way to play 3 of the most important games ever made. On par with Half-Life and Halo Combat Evolved. Mass Effect 1 gave us a fully functional diologue tree and strategic gameplay as well as and i say most importntly, character development. ME2 too everything a step further and added more romance options and an upgraded combat system that lets you truthfully say to yourself, "I have SUPERPOWERS." Ever wonder where Until Dawn got some of their ideas like character development and choices that will affect the future of the story and the characters alike? Mass Effect did it first. I havent even mentioned the compelling narrative. The story is amazing and will have you hooked in in minutes. These games require you to watch your back and what you do at each turn, often locking you into situations that you have to think your way out of. In conclusion, the Mass Effect series changed gaming and this is the definitive way to experience the original trilogy. If your skipping out on this glorious package, you are missing out on a truly life changing experince.

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.

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.

I first played The Original Mass Effect when it released on Xbox 360 back in 2007 & threw out each year that past, I was even more anticipated for the next game in The Trilogy. When I completed Mass Effect 3 in 2012, I was really sad that it was over as for me it's one of the best game franchises of all time! & possibly the best video game trilogy ever made! I never expected before playing the first Mass Effect back in 2007 that it would go on to be one of my favourite video game franchises of all time that I played threw multiple times & after all these years I have had a chance to play threw this amazing trilogy again Thanks to The Legendary Edition! The Entire Trilogies Story is breathtaking as It's your story and your choices matter as You decide how your trilogy goes either threw what choices you make, who you meet & how you interact with them, who you let live or let die can change the way your playthrough goes as you can have so many different experience threw different playthroughs. You play as Commander Shepard either Male or Female as both Voice actors did such amazing performances as Shepard is one of the most iconic video game characters of all time! You should experience playing the trilogy threw both versions of Shepard. Mass Effect has amazing Lore from the different types of Alien races while exploring their Alien Worlds & the history and culture that makes the galaxy feel even more real. The Trilogy has Amazing gameplay & missions taking you across the galaxy in some of the most beautifully made levels that are action packed, intense & fun wether it's main story, side missions or dlc there is plenty of content to keep you busy for months. My favourite part of the trilogy is the companions you meet as they are in my opinion the best companions of any video game as not one of them is bad as they are all fleshed out brilliant characters with brilliant back stories that accompany you on your missions threw out the galaxy as you can build better relationships with them and even romance them as for me the companions feel like real people, like old friends I haven't seen in a long time and it was a blast to see them again after all these years. If you have never played The Mass Effect Trilogy then I recommended that you should because it will be one the best gaming experiences you will ever play.

Even in 2025, this trilogy is one of the best. I was looking for a game to play that had depth and length and story, so I decided to buy the legendary edition. Up until now, I had only played Mass Effect 1, so I felt this would be a great purchase and, boy was I right. For me, Mass effect 2 is the best out of all 3 as its story and depth are huge and was amazing. I would love this as a film franchise or TV series. But after playing this recently, I am hoping for a fourth. One of the best RPG game franchises to date.

I must say the voice acting and story are spot on, and I would recommend anyone who hasn't tried this game franchise to give it a go, even if you played it back when it first came out, the legendary edition is a must.
