Mass Effect Legendary Edition is a compilation of the video games in the Mass Effect trilogy: Mass Effect (2007), Mass Effect 2 (2010), and Mass Effect 3 (2012). Developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts, the compilation was released on May 14, 2021, for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One. All three games were remastered, with visual enhancements, technical improvements, and gameplay adjustments. Mass Effect, the first game of the trilogy, received more extensive upgrades than its counterparts, specifically with regard to graphics, combat mechanics, vehicle handling, and loading times.

Runs well on modern hardware.

Picture this: You finally come back home after a long day at work and decide to relax a bit. You make yourself a cup of your favourite beverage, put your feet up and boot up the game. You are then hit by the EA app, which struggles to connect to its own servers (because a 55 billion dollar company can't run a server to save its own life). You might think "Well, it's a singleplayer game after all, surely I'd be able to play it regardless, right?" After all, who in their right mind would think that always online singleplayer games are a good idea? After a few minutes of the app trying to load, it stops and just says "Oops! Looks like you don't have an internet connection! I could tell you the exact thing that went wrong, but why would you want to know about that?" So you go online, trying to find some kind of fix for it, only to find outdated advice that used to work back when Origin still existed, or some useless slop from the official EA support page that has never worked in gaming history. An hour has passed, and what you thought would be a relaxing evening turned into a frustrating troubleshooting mess. You give up, realizing that you cannot play the game you bought with your own money because having a singleplayer game actually be a singleplayer game would mean shareholders can't sell your data to advertisers. The phrase "you'll own nothing and be happy" comes into your mind. I cannot tell you how good or bad the games are because I coulnd't play more than an hour before getting hit with this crap, but I can tell you that you should avoid this mess like the plague, and never give EA a cent of your money.
replayed the entire trilogy 'cause my husband has never seen these games. i made him watch my playthrough. now he can feel the same pain i have felt since 2007. bro what the ♥♥♥♥ do i do with my life after finishing these games like WHERE do i go from here ... this ♥♥♥♥ is life changing ...
due to the sale it cost me less than a coffee and sandwich and was one of the best experiences ever (particularly as a pre-legendary version player). ignore the ea app moaners, yes it sucks, but it doesnt ruin the game. also only real gamers romance tali.
