This is a friendly reminder that Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is still a brilliant experience and is available on Xbox Game Pass via EA Play.
You can see this as a PSA and a gentle, but still forceful, reminder to play it and experience the whole trilogy all over again. Or for the first time if you’ve been slacking and never got around to it.

Yes, you still manage to protect the galaxy, but it’s in a James T. Kirk kind of way, where you’re happy to save the day, but it’ll be done while trying to bed down with a sexy alien.
Anyway, get your Xbox (or PC) get onto Game Pass, and download this one. If you haven’t played them before, you’re in for a heck of a ride.
