I snagged the Legendary Edition for $5.99 during the Winter Sale on Steam, and it would become an itch on my backlog since it would be the longest game in my Backlog. But after considering and making time for it, I decided to tackle through the Mass Effect trilogy which was pretty new for me -- considering that I'm not big on games with a Sci-Fi setting.

One of my biggest recommendations is to mod the game heavily to add some QoL changes to it since I found some issues I had with the game (Camera shaking when running which was nauseous, making exploration easier, etc) and the community is really big when it comes to mods. Such as community patches that improve the bugs and new additions that EA couldn't handle themselves. Despite that, I had a fun time even though I found myself immersed in its setting and having a blast of what was to come.

The ending of ME3 isn't the best but I found myself enjoying the journey from ME1 to its finale, even if it was rocky, and found myself laughing badly at how unhinged or questionable the game can be at times. I didn't find the game to change my life compared to some who said so, it didn't change my perspective on games, but it was an experience for sure.

After racking up 70 hours on the Legendary Edition, I'd say Mass Effect was worth my time, and takes patience to get into the series. I thought I would be confused with the setting and lore but it comes together the more you keep playing, even if it's not for everyone. If anything, I'm more glad to complete the longest game in my Steam Backlog.
