Mass Effect: Legendary Edition

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.

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.

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.

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.
