Has been my favorite game series for a long time. Really cool world. Awesome story. Interesting characters. Very fun game play. This is the ultimate sci-fi story. The Legendary edition updates the graphics and game play to be a bit more modern. It does a pretty good job at this. I am replaying through the whole series now.
ME1 (hardcore)
This game looks totally different. The graphics are so much better. The first time I went through this game I didn't enjoy anything but the story because it was dated. The legendary version is much more playable and I am enjoying everything about it. The combat is not as good as modern games, but that is to be expected. I was still able to enjoy the combat. It took me 18 hours to beat ME1 on hardcore. This seems like the right setting. It is difficult, but not crazy bullet sponge difficult. I was worried that my memories of this game were rose colored, but it turns out that it really is just a great game.
ME2 (hardcore)
Graphics are ok. The story telling and world building is fantastic. So many beautiful worlds and cities to check out. The world feels huge even though the actual playable size is quite small. I never get lost or dont know where to go next, but it doesnt feel on rails. The gameplay is fun. Interesting powers and the difficulty is fair and even. It is mostly a cover based shooter, with small amount of tactics thrown in. Every mission adds to the story and world building in significant ways. There is so much lore and interesting concepts in this game. The team of people you can build in ME2 is great. Well built cast of characters that you care about. I woudnt say mass effect 2 is the best at anything, but it does really well on all aspects of gaming, which makes it a fantastic game. I dont really have any large criticisms.
