Although there have been a couple of overarching changes, such as Galactic Readiness now being influenced by everything you do across the three games due to the multiplayer component being removed. So, for now, my impressions are mostly based off of 20-hours or so with Mass Effect 1, and some gentle dabbling in Mass Effect 2 and 3 since those have been tweaked and tinkered with the least. BioWare has done good work here smoothing out the rougher edges on these classic games, though, and I’m exceedingly glad the Legendary Edition exists, helping a whole new generation experience these amazing titles.

And yet, I’ve not touched the series in years now because in the back of my mind I was worried that they weren’t as good as I remembered, or that their gameplay hadn’t aged well and would make me remember them less fondly. In total, I’ve sunk well over 150+ hours into the original Mass Effect, and much more into Mass Effect 2. Slipping back into Shepard’s N7 suit after years and years is like sliding into a tattered dressing gown – rough around the edges, but endlessly comfortable. Expectations have been high, then, especially since BioWare has fallen from grace, becoming a shadow of what they once were. Although the franchise was tarnished by the third game’s ending, and a massive fan-driven campaign to get said ending changed, the Mass Effect games remain one of the beloved, cherished and respected series in all of gaming. This remastering of the entire Mass Effect trilogy was long lusted after, then rumoured to exist, and then finally one of the worst kept secrets in the industry. Plus, the first game features the vast majority of the remastering effort due to its age, and so focusing on that seems sensible. This partial review, then, is based on 20-hours with the first Mass Effect and a quick look at the other two games. I’m going to savour every moment, do every quest and maybe even chase down every Platinum trophy. To review this new Legendary Edition in a timely fashion I’d have to rush through them all, and…well, I’m just not willing to do that to myself. The Mass Effect games are special to me, a massive part of my teenage years and a huge factor in my love of the Xbox 360 era. But the biggest and most important reason, at least to me, is because I want to take my time with this one. The second reason is that there are already hundreds of reviews for all three games, and while those reviews might not be for the Legendary Edition they remain largely relevant today, so it makes more sense to focus on the technical side of things.

Number one is that the sci-fi trilogy contains dozens and dozens of hours of content and doing a full review will take a while. There are a few reasons why this isn’t a full review of the new Mass Effect: Legendary Edition.
