So how does all of this gel together? The Legendary Edition is a unified launcher that increases in size as you download the second and third games. Although, there has been one issue identified that's tied to wireless headsets, which EA is working on a fix for (update: this has now officially been fixed). The cinematics also look better than ever, and audio has been improved and rebalanced - making the gunfights, big moments and conversations more engaging than before. On a more positive note, there's now a photo mode across all three titles - which is a nice way to document your team's adventure across the galaxy.Īs an example, the environments in the first game now look better than ever (while retaining the original artistic vision), and there are extra details included in areas of the game that weren't there before, which sort of make the world feel a little more lively than it once was.Īs you work your way through the collection, ME2 and ME3 offer the same sort of improvements - you'll see more fine details on characters that once weren't there, enhanced models, everything looks brighter and more colourful than before, and while body and facial animations don't match today's standards, it's still a step up on the original trilogy release. Unfortunately, not all of them made the cut, with the Pinnacle Station DLC for the first Mass Effect unable to be recovered, as the files for this were apparently too old and corrupted to include.
DLC packs containing promo weapons, armour and more have now also been integrated into each of the games, and can be obtained by research or from merchants. Combat now feels slicker, and speedier load times and higher frame rates also help (we'll get into all of that a bit more later). While it might not be quite as noticeable as the first game, again, you'll be experiencing the very best versions of these games. And just like the original game, both of these entries feel better than before. This included proper cover system mechanics and the introduction of ammo rather than relying on a cooldown bar. Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 were already in great shape on release - with the second game, in particular, making some major overhauls to combat. It's all been touched up to make Commander Shepard's original outing that much more enjoyable.
Reflect on the original and you might remember quite a few frustrations such as long load times and the infamous Mako sections. Just about everything - and we really mean this, has been improved. While you likely already have fond memories of this particular entry (at least for most parts), it's now even better and most certainly the one that benefits the most from this remaster. If you're still not entirely convinced, here's why you should consider saving humanity from the Reapers once more.įor OG players, the Legendary Edition is worth it for the first game alone.
More simply put, this is now officially the definitive way to play the entire trilogy on console platforms. Sure, it might seem a little bit pricey for a remaster, but as you would know, there's a hell of a lot of gameplay, story and cinematics in all three games to potentially entertain you for months on end (even if you have played it before). If you are Commander Shepard's number one follower - straight up, don't even hesitate.
