Fans of the Mass Effect<\/em><\/strong> series went into 2021 knowing the remastered original trilogy,\u00a0Mass Effect: Legendary Edition<\/em><\/a>, would be released at some point this spring. This week, the news finally broke that the upcoming remastered trilogy, including over 40 different DLC expansions, is available for pre-order ahead of its May 14 release date. All three games will be included in the upcoming release, though it\u2019s fair to say that not every game was as well-received as the others. Mass Effect 2<\/em> tends to be the standout title amongst the three,\u00a0while many players were upset with the ending options of Mass Effect 3<\/em>.<\/p>\n

However, none of the successor games could have been possible\u00a0without the original Mass Effect<\/em> game<\/a>. Though it doesn\u2019t have the same standout elements found in subsequent games, credit has to be given to Mass Effect<\/em> for getting the proverbial ball rolling (maybe the Normandy flying?) for the rest of the epic journey that unfolds. Without the strong storytelling of the introductory game, it\u2019s possible that the entire Mass Effect<\/em> franchise may not have existed at all. The original Mass Effect<\/em> was by no means a bad game, but compared to the rest of the trilogy, it\u2019s probably the weakest link \u2014 but that\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n

The original Mass Effect<\/em> game was released in 2007<\/a>, a whopping 14 years prior to Legendary Edition<\/em>‘s release. Mass Effect 2<\/em> released in 2010, and the trilogy’s finale\u00a0Mass Effect 3<\/em>\u00a0released in 2012, with each iteration becoming more graphically advanced and refining the controls a bit more. Players are in for a treat with the remastered games, especially the first entry. BioWare has taken great care to make it look shiny and new, so it\u2019ll be nice to see fan-favorite characters get a modern graphical makeover.<\/p>\n

One of the original critiques of Mass Effect<\/em> was its unbalanced combat, which seems to be getting some much needed improvements<\/a> with the Legendary Edition<\/em>. The developer has taken care to not only fix the combat issues, but also made the AI of squadmates and enemies more intelligent than before. It seems like the land-traversing Mako will be getting some much needed improvements to controls as well, which will make for a much more enjoyable Mass Effect<\/em> experience.<\/p>\n

Despite how the original game looks compared to its successors, there\u2019s no denying that Mass Effect<\/em> holds a near and dear place in fans\u2019 hearts. The epic, heartbreaking journey<\/a> that players embark on throughout the trilogy wouldn\u2019t have been made possible without the introductory game. The nostalgia and affection that players have towards the first game could also cloud their judgement a little bit, though.<\/p>\n

Just to reiterate, Mass Effect<\/em> was by no means a bad game, and won several awards when it first released. That being said, Mass Effect\u00a0<\/em>was also released in 2007, which is practically a world away as far as modern gaming is concerned. The graphics alone warranted a massive upgrade<\/a>, not to mention some of the wonky controls and AI systems, so it\u2019ll be satisfying to see the game that made players fall in love with the franchise get the fresh coat of paint it deserves.<\/p>\n

Despite how dated the original Mass Effect<\/em> game may be, it\u2019ll still be fun to dive back into the Milky Way with some familiar faces, alongside potentially new ones for players who never played the DLC. Mass Effect<\/em>\u00a0is a stepping stone to the fantastic story of Mass Effect 2<\/em><\/a> and Mass Effect\u00a0<\/em>3<\/em>, and though it doesn\u2019t stand out amongst its successors, it\u2019s got heart \u2014 and that counts for something, especially in a doomed galaxy.<\/p>\n

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition<\/em><\/strong> is available for pre-order and will release on May 14 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.<\/p>\n
