Mass Effect Legendary Edition Part One: Mass Effect

---

The Voice cast is simply superb, Jennifer Hale as the female version of Shepard. The supporting characters have plenty of recognizable voices, including Keith David, Seth Green, and Star Trek: The Next Generation veterans Marina Sirtis and Dwight Schultz. Saren (voiced by Fred Tatasciore) is one of those villains that can be sinister, come off as a monstrous traitor but at the same time being sympathetic, an odd thing to say about villains but the more you play the game you could see what drives him and makes him tick, but it is amazing to see how much World Building they were willing to put in for this game, whether it be conversations on the Normandy with various characters or the history of Alien Races, the wars, and every time you visit a planet it is accompanied by a life or death decision. Sounds crazy, doesn’t it? But that’s what made the game so popular, the decisions you’ll make have implications later in the game, and the eventual sequels later on. You have a choice of being a Paragon, a hero who plays by the rules, or you can be a Renegade, where you get the job done but follow your own rules, I played a Shepard who liked to bend the rules but also followed them when needed to for example.

While piloting through the complex histories of the Krogan, the Salarians, the Quarians, the Turians, the Asari, the Geth, and more, all of it is used to build up tension in the uneasy alliance of species that governs the galaxy in the Citadel. Moving further into the Game, the Legendary Edition has smoothed things over in terms of Gameplay, the fighting. Not so much, it has improved on aiming, ability cooldowns, a revamped interface, and directing your squadmates individually (which helps in tight spaces.) The Enemy AI isn’t that great in terms of a challenge on certain missions but it does improve later in the game. One of the key things that you need to follow up on is updating your armor, weapons, and stats when you can.
