Same here. Absolutely the best game in its genre. I have played all three parts at least three times and I still get teary eyed on Rannoch or Mordin's song on Tuchanka (in my opinion two of the best written plots in all media). Personally I didn't even hate the ending, since (maybe from my experience as a writer) I am comfortable with the hero's self-sacrifice (I usually choose to meld living beings and machine entities) for a greater good. Mass Effect Legendary Edition will be on my To Buy List very near the top (if not at the top). 60€ for 3 Games with a ton of DLC is even a bargain, if you have most of the content (minus the DLCs for 1 and 2) already in the original version.

As a OCD completionist I could never skip ME1 and jump right to ME2! If memory is right the choices in ME1 can be felt through the whole series, where as the choices in the later games have a more personal effect on the story of the characters but not really effecting the main plot.
@eduardocunha9006

I guess that depends on what you mean by "main plot". None of your choices really affect the ultimate ending if you have enough galaxy readiness points (which is why a lot of people complain about the ending). But you can still screw things up big time in ME2, enough to lose an entire race in ME3, for example. I'd say that affects the main plot. Also, there's the whole genophage arc and the MUCH better results you get in ME3's missions if you play ME2 and... get the best ending, not to spoil anyyhing.

Very good review as usual! I'd bite but at my age (73) I don't have the reflexes any more to play RT shooters, though this one certainly looks like something I'd have enjoyed at one time. As a TBS strategy player from the late 80's I've ignored shooters since I stopped playing the original Doom soon after it first came out. Coordination was never one of my strong points so I moved on, never even getting into RTS much, again due to the clickfest factor. Recently I've discovered turn based fantasy and sci-fi TBS RPG's and the RPG world has a lot going for it, I"ll say that. This one is intriguing, but I'm not eager to drop $60 into a game I probably will find I cannot do well in at this stage of life. So my message to you young pups out there is - dive into these while you still can!

Hey there. I noticed that no one had replied to your comment and I just wanted to point out to you that Mass Effect does have multiple difficulty settings. The easiest of these options is intended to give you the narrative experience without having to suffer through combat that is too difficult and makes the game highly playable for inexperienced players. There is no shame in playing the game the way you choose to play and, if you're finding that you have an interest in this trilogy of games, I'd highly recommend playing them. The story is a memorable journey, so much so that I envy anyone who has the opportunity to play through it for the first time. There is a reason this series has touched so many players. Its just too good to miss in my opinion. Do some research into the difficulty options and you may just find it worth giving a shot.

One thing that is great about Mass Effect is how the societal structure of it reflects loosely some ideals presented in The Republic by Plato, in particular the class structure of the in game societal system and how people seem to be (from a cursory glance) born to do specific roles. There is limited mobility based on one's own strengths, however generally speaking where you're born you stay, as such it leads to a very stable society, one that is not without faults. Yet ultimately is capable of such feats as say driving back the reapers and having a multi-species society without much disturbing the overall fabric of the system as a whole. Yes this is a video game I get it, as such the society is not organic, yet it's a nice depiction of what a working system could accomplish when done with a reasonable amount of competency. My only gripe with it overall is the lack of a central authority figure. As the whole idea of Plato's republic is that of the Philosopher King being the ideal ruler, and I see such not represented at all here.
@gazza7693

The council is the central authority figure, the holy trinity of Turians, Asari and Salarians worked for centuries before Humans appeared. Other races want a seat on the council and others have no desire at all. A lot of the lore codex we read has been translated for a humans eyes to read so bringing our own bias into the galactic community is an inherently human thing to do which Mass Effect was so great at showing. The idea of a philosopher king and/or god emperors is a human social construct really. The Asari might view Plato's teachings as poultry compared to their philosophies that are millennia older, as well as Asari live up to 1000 years so would be much more wiser than humans.

It looks just like a new generation game. If u do not have a 4K TV then I highly recommend you try changing the display settings to the higher graphics and lower frame rate. The frame rate is fast enough and the graphics are 100x better.

But when the games came back to Xbox with backwards compatibility I gave them another shot and started with 1 then finished all 3. Man these games were amazing then to me in 2016. I fell in love with them and I probably spent more then $60 on some of the dlc alone. So I'm really happy to have all the dlc with a remastered version if the game.

Not being able to look around while sprinting is a pretty common feature of early 360 era games. The idea is that you put your head down and sprint, it's a trade off and meant to be a little more realistic. Safe to say devs stopped doing it but idk how a professional video game critic/fan doesn't know this .. Also RE Village and Doom Eternal are built from the ground up, on an engine level, to be as performant as possible. They're literally the industry standard for low cpu overhead, smart asset streaming and good GPU utilization. You can't just say "o these games run well a totally different game on a completely different engine that was designed around totally different hardware will too!"

So, I'm confused about your comment about save files. There is no native PS5 app for this - there's only the PS4 version. And PS4 saves work just fine on on PS4 games while running on a PS5 system. Are you saying you cannot even pull down the save from the PS Plus cloud and use it on a PS5? Do saves somehow not work on the PS4 version while it is enhanced from running on a PS5? In my experience, I have run into no issues running a PS4 game and using saves created on a base PS4 or PS4 Pro. It's only when moving to a native PS5 version of that game that it obviously won't carry over. This seems like it was glossed over a bit here, so some extra context and explanation would be appreciated.
