Mass Effect Legendary Edition Reviews
Playing this new, remastered version of Mass Effect brought back so many memories and feelings from a by-gone era, and the fact that people half my age can now experience this epic at the same age I originally did? That’s a very special feeling.
Mass Effect 2 Legendary Edition has appeared fantastic in every level, and we're witnessing the remastering of one of the best and most amazing RPG games in history.

Legendary Edition is best for those who will experience the legend for the first time and those who will go and create the same Shepard and choose the same dialogue options after saying that this time they will play differently.

While the franchise is much more deserving of a remake than a remaster, the Mass Effect Legendary Edition still manages to deliver the most wonderful amount of fixes and changes, bringing the games [mostly] in line with more modern titles. With the studio now working on a fifth mainline entry in the franchise, there is nothing better to tide players over than this all encompassing package. For old fans, seeing Tali, Wrex, Garrus, and the others again in high-fidelity graphics is nothing short of amazing. New players, on the other hand, can now go through the franchise in a much more accessible manner, enabling an entirely new generation to pick up the game and learn of the badass that is Shepard — their Shepard. The games (especially the first) are nowhere near perfect, but they are still as memorable, enjoyable and epic as ever. The Mass Effect Legendary Edition is good and anyone who can get past the admittedly dated Mass Effect 1 experience, will discover one of the greatest space operas ever created.
For all of the improvements that are most welcome (and will doubtless help court a new generation of fans) Mass Effect’s brilliance isn’t about technicality. Not really. It is about that total investment in its galaxy and its characters --be it your most trusted squadmate or the elephantine Elcor shopkeeper you bumped into-- that has fully enveloped me again. That hasn’t aged a jot.
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Mass Effect for the fourth and definitely not final time, I have that history and nostalgia keeping me through the outdated gameplay.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.
Mass Effect is a wonderful story that is near and dear to an entire generation of gamers. This Legendary Edition is nothing short of handing someone your favorite book, and hoping they come out with the same appreciation we all have.
This set makes the galaxy that you'll gallivant across for 90-plus hours feel so much more immersive, beautiful, and tangible-seeming.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition is a great experience for every player who hasn't played the classical trilogy before if they can bear with some issues that shows the age of this games, and for returning players there are some beauty and life enhancements that might convince them to live Shepard story once again especially for the easy mechanic that allows you to move your safe file and character along all three games with no sweat

It’s rare that a game from your youth doesn’t just meet your nostalgic expectations, but completely surpasses them.
For better or worse, Mass Effect Legendary Edition is effectively the same classic trilogy we played a decade ago, warts and all. BioWare finely balanced updating the games with leaving elements that would recapture that classic nostalgia of first taking off across the stars in the Normandy. For my experience, this was the perfect way to bring the classic trilogy to modern audiences while preparing everyone for more Mass Effect to come. We'll get our proper new-gen Mass Effect soon enough, but right now, this is where players should experience where it all began with Commander Shepard's epic three-game saga. Whether you're an eager fan looking to return or a curious new player who wants to see what all the fuss is about, this is Mass Effect.
Mass Effect is certainly showing its age, but the version found in the Legendary Edition is this game at its best. This is now the ultimate way to play a game that defined a generation and still holds up to this day.
There’s no denying that the series ends on a miserable note, but for what it’s worth, the Legendary Edition reminded me why I was so engrossed in this series over a decade ago.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition might just offer a new look at some older games, but it still stands tall as one of the best and most memorable RPG series around.
Mass Effect : Legendary Edition is without a doubt the best way for a new generation of players to discover the series while EA prepares the next chapter. It's also a great way to please long time fans in a very short term. However, a couple of defaults came back and a few new ones appeared along the way.

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition brings a major graphical evolution to one of the biggest RPG franchises, but that's the only notable change. The collection seems to have been designed only for longtime fans who wanted to see their favorite saga in current visuals, without worrying about gaining new admirers by keeping gameplay somewhat dated and not translating the text into other languages, such as Portuguese.

With an absolutely staggering amount of content, Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is the best way to relive one of the best RPG trilogies from the last decade and a half. Bioware has done its due diligence in fixing what didn't work and improving what did. The end result is a sleek remaster that retains the soul of the beloved franchise.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition is the best way to play the epic space travelogue of Commander Shepherd and his friends.

If we’re setting off to new horizons and, eventually, a new Mass Effect, then Mass Effect Legendary Edition serves as a solid collection of this trilogy. This is everything these three games were, and still are to many fans, preserved for time. Just like the capsule Liara makes during Mass Effect 3, this is what can hopefully stand the test of time and carry what this trilogy is—its characters, its worlds, and its stories—forward for ages to come.
The Mass Effect Legendary Edition is very well designed to help you feel the excellence of the original on modern PCs. That's why it doesn't disappoint you throughout the game, but it's just a remaster that can't feel any greater than the original.
