As of writing this review, I'm only 10 hours into the first Mass Effect game, but the changes I've seen so far I've really enjoyed. I'm only talking about changes to that game, as I haven't gotten to the rest of the trilogy yet, but from what I have heard a lot of other reviewers/streamers say, many of the major updates were in the first game anyways, as it is oldest. A few of the new additions / quality of life changes include:
- Skipping some elevator sequences is allowed
- Updated facial graphics / environment textures; pretty much every character I've met and every world I've visited so far looks fantastic. The lighting is greatly improved in a lot of previously dim areas. Everything looks much fresher and crisper, even though I'm not playing on optimum graphics settings. It's not just the main party that's been updated; NPCs, side characters, and even the thresher maws have been updated.
- The Mako's driving is... somewhat better; it's still not great or up-to-par with vehicles in other games, but it's not quite so bouncy as in the original game. Shooting is also much improved.
- The HUD centered at the bottom of the screen is much more in alignment with games 2 and 3 and makes it easier to see the health of your party than it was originally (with bars situated off to the bottom left corner).
- Some great changes to combat - using medi-gel doesn't have as long of a cooldown period, it's easier to move in and out of cover, any one can play with any type of weapon (though without proficiency bonuses a character who specializes in that weapon class would have). You can also direct your crew independently of each other. Overall, it's still a bit clunky and feels "old" compared to modern shooting games, but they've done a lot here to make it better.
So far, everything is running very smoothly and I'm having a great time replaying the trilogy.
With this edition, you get all three games plus all DLC content - a great deal. Mass Effect has one of the tightest, cleanest storylines of any series I've ever played, but still has tons of replay value, as you can make different choices throughout the series that will change your ultimate outcome.
I'm really pleased Bioware was able to get this out. It's been great so far, and I can't wait to get into games 2 and 3 to see what other changes have been made.

One of the Best Game trilogies.
Playing Mass Effect again after 10 years was awesome. Definitely one of the best trilogy out there. Except the Mass Effect 3 ending, I still hate it. Overall still great to play. Product arrived in good condition and the Price was also nice.
