Mass Effect

[iodeac 138]

Never played Mass Effect before and was thinking about taking the plunge with the newest edition which includes all 3 games, DLC, and is remastered in 4K.   About how long should it take to finish all 3 games, and what should I know or avoid going in?  Just from some of the trailers I watched, the game looks huge.

Have not played the remaster.  That said, buy it and don't look back.  Fantastic series, one of the all time best.  I'd guess around 200 hours total for all three if you do everything you can do.  I'm not sure I played all of the DLC though so I could be a little off.

It's a ton of content, HLTB says about 105 hours:

Either way, don't worry about how long it is and just jump in and enjoy it. As Hozz said, it's pretty much universally loved, it's on most people's Top 3 best games list.
