I haven't played the original trilogy but it was told to be better than this remake. It is my first game from this franchise and after all the bugs had been fixed, I find it to be very good overall game with dragon age like party mechanic with a very satisfying gameplay. It had a good cast of characters I find intriguing, It has one the best open world with its gorgeous graphics and world building design. Travel animations can be a bit tedious at times. The story however have a generic narrative but it doesn't let me down to finish the game.
Contrary to how most people felt about it, I actually enjoyed this game. It is a little rough around the edges, but I think it manages to tell an interesting story within the Mass Effect universe that doesn't rely on the exploits of Commander Shepard. Also, this has the best gameplay in the series by far. The movement and gunplay are so much more engaging, and the powers feel so impactful. Sure, it doesn't stack up to the original trilogy, but this game really deserved a chance to start something entirely new.
