The verdict
A strong finale to the Mass Effect trilogy, and the only version with the still-active co-op multiplayer. Skip it if you only want the campaign (get Legendary Edition) or can't tolerate EA launcher issues.
Great for
Fans wanting the exclusive ME3 co-op horde multiplayer, or players finishing Shepard's story
Main risk
EA app/Origin licence errors can block launching, with little support
What players love
Emotional story where past choices matter

What players complain about
EA app/Origin licence blocks launching
Mentioned in ~2 in 3 negative reviews
“it cannot log you in as the DRM relies on Origin, which was shut down a few years ago, and EA never bothered to fix anything that might have used it.”
