Mass Effect™ Legendary Edition

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask

The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 24: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 23.43/day in the week to Jul 30 → 21.29/day in the week after.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.

Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Matched by title — a reused name can pair the wrong games. * is a critic aggregate. Prices and positions are each store's United States storefront; Epic charts worldwide. Audience and Score too, except Steam's, which is worldwide.

I played the original trilogy years ago but never finished it. This time I went through the whole thing with Legendary Edition, and it still holds up. I came in for the sci-fi and ended up staying for the characters. The combat is fun and the visuals still hold up, but the cast is what carries the trilogy. I talked to everyone after almost every mission because the writing gave me a reason to. Some characters you barely get to know, others you end up genuinely close to, and the game earns that instead of forcing it. The major choices rarely have a clean answer. Most of the time it's choosing one sacrifice over another and wondering if you made the right call. In the end, it comes down to how you see things and what kind of outcome you want. A few characters stuck with me much longer than I expected. I just wish there had been more downtime with the squad, especially my love interest, Tali. By the end, I wanted more, and that left me feeling a bit empty. My biggest complaints are the movement in ME2 and especially ME3. It feels awkward and sluggish compared to ME1. Sprint and cover being on the same key caused more frustration than anything else, especially in tight spaces where I kept sticking to cover by accident. It never felt as smooth or responsive as it should have. I also wasn't a fan of the galaxy scanning and fuel management. It adds nothing and just slows the game down. The Normandy in ME3 also felt less lively than ME2. Seeing the crew move around was nice, but the atmosphere never felt quite the same. Outside of those complaints, the trilogy earns every bit of its reputation. Finishing it left me wishing there was still more of it left. [i]*cough* ME4 when?[/i] 👀
