Three full games, one price, and a Shepard you build across all of them. The Legendary Edition remaster makes the original Mass Effect considerably more playable than it was at launch, which was the main barrier to recommending the trilogy as a unit. Characters you meet in the first game show up in the third and remember things. That continuity, across 80 or 90 hours of sci-fi storytelling, is still something very few games have pulled off. Mass Effect 2 is the obvious high point, but the full trilogy playthrough is the real recommendation here. Skip to ME2 and you lose half the emotional investment.
