Mass Effect Legendary Edition Review (MysteryStranger)

I paused before writing this review. Unsure how to express my feelings and do this game justice.
I know this an impossible task, but I am inspired to try and so here we go.

If you haven't played this series before, you are very lucky. You get to experience it for the first time.
Make it count. If anyone ever asks you why video games are a form of art, this is the game you need them to witness. Bioware knew what you wanted from a perfect videogame, and they gave it to you....
And then they kept going and gave you more than you could have expected. It couldn't be anything less than a passion project.

You won't merely make moral decisions.
You will be forced to commit to them. You will be forced to take responsibility. They will test your resolve, make you doubt them long after they have been made. Effect the world around you and the characters around you and your reputation on a widespread scale of immense detail. They will challenge your sense of morality and make you look at real life, other people, and the decisions we make in a different light. From a perspective you never considered. When you are done you will be a smarter and more confident decision maker in real life.

You won't merely like the characters.
You will bond with your squad. You will be driven by their motivations. You will stress when tensions rise. You will suffer with their losses and cheer with their victories. You will come to think of them as your real friends because they are distinct and convincing. You will fall in love with them. You will feel responsible for their lives in your hands. You will miss them when it's all over.

You won't merely be immersed in the story.
You will remember it for the rest of your life as if you were there. The Reapers will haunt your dreams. You will have experiences that become key memories. You will become a wiser, more intelligent, more philosophical person. You will feel like you are doing something important and life's problems won't matter for a while.

And then it will all be over ... and you will sit and contemplate the decisions you made. The outcome you forged with your own hands. You will look at your life differently, now a more mature person that when you started. You will be sad that you will never have that experience for the first time again, and you will realize that it's quite possible you will never be entertained so greatly again.

So board your space ship, lead your crew, grab your weaponry and uncover the dark wonders that await you in deep space. The Universe and its life forms are counting on you.

This is a uncut diamond that goes on sale for $5 just because it is somewhat old now. This is the quality blueprint from which to judge all others. This is the perfect videogame.
