With this being the oldest game in the remaster it stands to reason that this would be the game needing the most work, and that being said, what has been done works and works well.Ĭontrols, although still a bit on the rough side, aren’t as jarring as they were originally and I didn’t have much to complain about during my time completing the campaign. These updates are most felt in the original Mass Effect, with the updated controls helping it to play better overall. The controls feel a bit clunky, too, but as you play through the trilogy you see the evolution happen, and by the time you hit Mass Effect 3 (should you decide to play them in order) the evolution is complete and the game looks and plays like any modern release.
Granted, the original Mass Effect does feel the clunkiest out of the three, with character models looking a bit stiff as they run around. It’s a testament to the source material that with a bit of spit and polish, the gameplay of Mass Effect holds up. Updated textures, models and tinkering under the hood means that all three games run and look a lot better too – my only complaint was the odd facial animation during some dialogue segments that made characters look like they had some muscular atrophy, but that’s easily overlooked. An updated HUD in the original Mass Effect means that the game is in line with the other two games in the trilogy, and the updated aesthetic just feels and plays better. Running at 4K and up to 120fps (on PS5), the game looks and feels like any modern release. Starting up, Mass Effect Legendary Edition looks the part. You probably already know that Mass Effect is a massive space opera spanning a trilogy of games where you play as Commander Shepard as you travel the Galaxy in an effort to save it from the Reapers – it’s all your standard sci-fi stuff, but the fact is Mass Effect does it so damn well that even today it is held up as a master class in the genre – and with good reason.

With all the updates and DLC included, I could tell you Mass Effect was a brand new series releasing this year, and with the source material being so good, I’m sure you would believe me – the game does enough to justify a purchase, and it still holds up by today’s standards.īut let’s start from the beginning. If you are one of the latter, you will be wondering if Mass Effect, a series that is well into its teenage years (with the original game releasing in 2007), is worth your time. Mass Effect Legendary Edition contains all the space soap opera twists and turns you remember, and thankfully the gameplay has aged like a fine wine. If you are the former, you will be curious to see if the game holds up, is it as good as you remember? Short answer: Yes.
