![]() I say “fixed” in quotes because while it is certainly improved over the original release, the Mako still does whatever it wants when you drive it at times. BioWare “fixed” this problem in Mass Effect: LE by introducing a newer control scheme for the Mako. Most of the time, the Mako went where it wanted, and trying to fix that usually meant more problems. The problem is that the original Mako controlled…horribly. The Mako is a vehicle you get to drive on various planets to explore and, in some instances, attack enemies. This makes the entire experience so much better as you no longer feel like you’re fighting the game systems. Seriously, it can’t be overstated how much work went into fixing the gameplay. ![]() Characters now move in easy to understand ways, gunplay has finally been streamlined and made just like the following games in the series, and shooting an enemy FINALLY means you’ll hit them every time (assuming your aim is on point). The original game had a “roll of the dice” style of gunplay, meaning that not every shot did the same thing, and sometimes you “rolled” badly and the gunshot didn’t do damage. Characters moved weirdly, gunplay was very all over the place, and shooting enemies didn’t always mean you actually hit the enemy. The original release was notorious for having third-person shooter gameplay that never felt quite right, especially as it aged. The game now looks like something that was made fairly recently.Įven bigger of a change in Mass Effect: LE is the gameplay. Remember how the opening of the game took place on the Normandy, but everything on the Normandy was so dark you couldn’t see characters’ faces? Yeah, I remember, and that’s finally gone. Characters and worlds are lighted correctly, which shows aspects of scenes you never could see before. Fortunately, all those things mentioned above have been fixed in Mass Effect: LE. Lighting was weird, camera angles were off, and everything looked rough (although in 2007 it looked amazing). The biggest issue the original game had was that as it aged, it looked like a 2007 game. The game has been visually overhauled to an absolutely wonderful degree. Mass Effect: LE in the Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is quite the interesting game and the one that received the most amount improvements in the Legendary Edition. I say majority because you aren’t getting one DLC pack ( Pinnacle Station DLC) in Mass Effect: LE as the original source code for this DLC is gone and can’t be recovered. In Mass Effect: LE you’re getting the majority of the original Mass Effect experience and the Bring Down the Sky story DLC remastered for the newer gen. The player assumes the role of Commander Shepard, an elite human soldier who must stop a rogue agent from carrying out the Reapers’ galactic invasion. In Mass Effect, the game takes place within the Milky Way galaxy in the year 2183, where civilization is threatened by a highly advanced machine race known as the Reapers. Mass Effect originally released in 2007 on Xbox 360 before making the jump to PC and then years later on PS3. ![]() (Note: I will refer to the remastered Mass Effect as Mass Effect: LE just to keep things easier to follow). So let us begin with the remaster of the game that started it off: Mass Effect. Considering the size of this collection, the review for Mass Effect: Legendary Edition will be broken up so that we can focus enough attention on each title. 14 years after its original release on Xbox 360, followed by two sequels in 20, the Mass Effect Trilogy gets the full remaster treatment on PS4, Xbox One and PC. After years and years of asking (maybe borderline begging) BioWare and EA to remaster the Mass Effect trilogy, FINALLY we got our wish. First, let me just say what we as Mass Effect fans have all been thinking for years.
