Played Legendary Edition
A repeated series of emotional gut punches peppered by small glimpses of hope amidst ruin. I'm not sure Mass Effect 3 is my favourite of the trilogy - that will still likely always be ME2's spectacular buildup and character work - but there is something about the mix of grandeur and intimacy that makes this particular installment hit so hard. There is a lot of great setpieces here but the moments that truly shine are so small; character stories in the background, hangout sessions in the brief times of rest, saying goodbye to a loved one. Poignant stuff.
And it's the best playing of the trilogy, which helps a lot. The more dynamic movement and improved melee system makes this still control like a dream, and the complete overhaul to weapons means the game is now also a legitimately high tier shooter. Wish the multiplayer was still around cause that's also excellent. Basically a perfect end to a perfect trilogy of games.
