Honestly one of the best remasters i've ever played and i highly recommend that you get this because it has all the content from the ME trilogy packed into one game (DLC included). Some differences in this game are pretty cool and there are some changes that i find kind of weird.

ME1: The differences between this and OG Mass Effect are of course the faces are upscaled now and the HUD looks completely different and the rendered cutscenes look a lot better now. The sound of the weapons have also been changed like the pistol sound has a bit of the pistol sound from 2 but if you equip any upgrades it sounds like the one from OG and some cutscenes retain that old weapon sound from the OG. The change that i find weird is that if you want to toggle off your helmet, instead of going to the Equipment menu you have to go the Squad menu but that's just a minor detail but really the change that i find weird is that unlike OG you can sprint whenever you want if you're not in combat and you wont get fatigued, with this it acts like you're in combat regardless if you're in a safe area or not and you get fatigued so i had to download a mod for it which sucks. A big issue that i had with OG is the wonky goofy ahh physics of the Mako and they actually fixed that here and even added an additional mechanic to the game by adding a boost to the Mako which isn't present in the OG and the only game that has a boost mechanic is ME Andromeda so i guess they brought it from that to this game which is really nice.

ME2: There's not much changes with this one other than some visual changes like the faces are more upscaled and the same goes for the cutscenes. Other than that everything is the same apart from scenes where Shepard and the Illusive Man talk to each other and the way Shepard sounds feel off like he's not talking to him through a device from far away but rather sounds like he's talking to him face to face.

ME3: I feel like there's little changes with this one apart from there being no multiplayer because in the original if you want to 100 percent the game you'll need multiplayer. Same thing with ME2 with not much changes to the game apart from some upscaled models and cutscenes.

Overall this game is absolutely fantastic and really fun and i absolutely recommend that you get this regardless if you're new to Mass Effect or if you're a massive fan like me.
