Mass Effect 3 is a story of loss, desperation and resilience.

One of Mass Effect 3’s greatest strengths is its fantastic writing and characters. Mass Effect 3: Legendary Edition includes the base game, all the pre-order armor and weapon content, the extended cut content, and all four single-player DLC packs ( From Ashes, Leviathan, Omega, and Citadel). Mass Effect 3 originally released in 2012 on PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Wii U. As Commander Shepard, you must try to stop the Reapers and a twisted human organization called Cerberus, and you must unite the galaxy together towards an all out final war against the Reapers. In Mass Effect 3 the galaxy is invaded by the villainous Reapers, who are set to destroy all life in the galaxy. Like I mentioned above, Mass Effect 3 is the concluding game in the original Mass Effect Trilogy(concerning Commander Shepard’s story, at least). Mass Effect 3: Legendary Edition ( Mass Effect 3: LE moving forward in this review) is an absolute treat you shouldn’t avoid. It does have its flaws, sure, but Mass Effect 3 is still one of best crafted closures to any trilogy.

Now, nine years after the original release, I come back to Mass Effect 3 in Mass Effect: Legendary Editionand find that I appreciate the game even more. So, when I was given (essentially) four choices at the end of the game, and one of them was Destroy, I took it. From the moment I played the original Mass Effect, I knew I wanted to (spoilers) destroy the Reapers. I personally never had a problem with Mass Effect 3’s ending. People ignored the fact that for the previous 50 hours, you got one of the best crafted, well written, and emotionally traumatizing experiences in video gaming. After spending two games making many massive decisions, people ultimately felt like the game was a lie because the endings were down to four possibilities. Mainly this was due to the ending of the game.

Mass Effect 3 is a funny game in that at the time of its release, people formed strong opinions about how bad the game was.
