Critics agree, that Legendary Edition is a great opportunity for the new players to get to know the story of Shepard and the crew of the Normandy and thanks to the changes, especially in the first installment, old fans of the trilogy will be able to relive their favorite moments. On the plus side was the possibility to play three iconic games with the most important expansions. Cons can be found primarily in the visuals, which struggles with minor problems and also in the fact that some bugs have not been properly repaired, especially in the second and third installment. It is worth noting that the game looks extremely stable on consoles.

"Mass Effect Legendary Edition stands tall as one of the best remasters that I've ever played. The amount of care and effort that has gone into restoring the original Mass Effect along with the other two games is unmatched. While there are some underlying minor design issues with the original game, Legendary Edition is the best way to experience the Mass Effect trilogy. Period," Press Start

"The fact of the matter is, there are over 100 hours of game ahead of me across three games and more than 40 pieces of high-quality DLC like Shadow Trader's lair, Supervisor or Leviathan now folded directly into the story. So the saying goes, you can’t step into the same river twice, but Mass Effect Legendary Edition is certainly going to make one hell of an attempt at it," Ron Burke, GamingTrend

"Not every wrinkle caused by time can be hidden or erased by skilful make-up,despite this and an AI of enemies and companions that could have been improved much more, the impression is that the feeling with the three episodes is very good. Impersonating Commander Shepard offers the same vibrant sensations as it once was, and saving the galaxy from the Reapers has never looked so good," Alessandro Alosi, The Games Machine

"If you are a big fan of this series, I was getting goosebumps watching the opening cutscene. t was that good, literal goosebumps. If you are a fan of this series, you are going to love this game and if you are new to this franchise it is probably good enough Mass Effect 1 to get you through Mass Effect 2 and 3 with very little complaints," Fextralife
