Our goal was not to remake or reimagine the original games, but to modernize the experience so that fans and new players can experience the original work in its best possible form. It's bee...

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.

While I loved every second of replaying Mass Effect for the fourth and definitely not final time, I have that history and nostalgia keeping me through the outdated gameplay. I would recommend anyone jump into this series if they love BioWare RPGs, but I’d have a string of caveats. A lot has not aged well, especially from the first game, even though the first game arguably has the best story of all three. The Mass Effect Legendary Edition is an absolutely incredible walk down memory lane, but that’s really all it is. If you’re a newbie to the trilogy and you’re dying to see what all the fuss is about, better buckle in for one bumpy ride.

Playing these games from start to finish as one character is simply magic, once i got a few hours into mass effect 1 i new i was playing something special. As a first time player in 2026 the word id use to describe this trilogy is EPIC!

I remember finishing the trilogy for the first time 12 years ago. I think it was also the first time I ever shed a tear while playing a video game. There was this sad, empty feeling that comes with something wonderful ending - something like finishing the last episode of your favorite series. After all these years, I’m still deeply in love with this saga, and it will remain one of my favorites forever.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition is the remastered collection that the trilogy deserves. Playing these games back-to-back showcases the immensely impressive scope of BioWare's series — an ambitious project the likes of which we haven't seen since. In some ways, all three titles are showing their age — but excellent character writing and exceptional world building make this a timeless trilogy. An emotional and truly memorable experience, from start to finish.

As a whole, this is pretty much exactly what fans have been asking for for so long- the entire Mass Effect trilogy brought together in a single package that, rather than just making the games better looking, helps their qualities stand out much more while ironing out the kinks.

The Mass Effect Legendary Edition is a surprisingly great remastered collection of three epic titles. A must-have.

Mass Effect's Legendary Edition lovingly puts three of the best games ever back in the spotlight. That is actually enough reason to recommend this package, but it still feels as if Bioware is missing out on opportunities to turn out really big.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition is the the best way to play the Mass Effect trilogy in 2021, but with an expensive launch price, some work on the graphics but none on the animations.

Tried Mass Effect 1 and had a lot of jank/glitches that froze me while exploring. I thought the game was OK but the pacing and navigation was a bit cumbersome too.

Just played the 1st one so far. One of the most overrated games in history IMO. Super repetitive, very simplistic combat / ai. Generic quests. Some good storylines and an OK universe, but nothing memorable. This hasn't aged well at all.
