Replaying Mass Effect is like coming back together with old friends. Everyone who played the series will understand that.


If you have not touched the trilogy yet, do yourself a favor and play it. I assure you that you will be on an unforgettable journey.

Absolutely wonderful series of games that EA has decided to brick. It now requires the EA app which refuses to function properly and loses link to your Steam account. When it does, you won't be allowed to play anymore (on launch, every launch: "Oops, something went wrong! Go back and try again!" [there is no back button, nor any other buttons]). This has been a known "High priority" issue for 3 years (per the dates on EA's support forum) and they haven't bothered to do one single thing about it in that time. The only potential fix requires you to *manually edit your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Registry*, and even that doesn't always work.

Yay, DRM that prevents people from playing the game instead of doing anything about piracy.

Great remaster, probably the best way to experience this GOATed trilogy now.
Not much more to say about it, all 3 of these are must-have classics even if they all have some different issues.

ME1: Best story, but weaker in gameplay. Never could stomach the Mako planet exploration much and this wasn't improved (much).
ME2: Feels like a hybrid of 1 and 3, but story is pretty weak - personally on replaying it, my least favourite of the trilogy (it used to be my favourite back then!). Planet exploration reduced to just mineral scanning and occasional tiny side fetch quest mission.
ME3: Strongest focus on story. Sidequests and planet exploration axed almost entirely (no more mineral scanning and most sidequests is just automatic collection of goodies). But it's such a good cinematic experience overall that I didn't mind it. Endings are still kinda sour though.
