What We Think

While still a sci-fi classic, Mass Effect Legendary Edition checks plenty of modern “woke” boxes, especially in representation and moral direction, sometimes at the expense of the series’ more traditional roots.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Mass Effect Legendary Edition maintains the core story from the original trilogy, but the option for a female Commander Shepard and same-sex romance routes are featured prominently, emphasizing identity choice as much as narrative. Some might see character diversity as outpacing in-world logic at times, though most arcs and roles remain grounded in merit and characterization.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The game leans into progressive themes, diminishing traditional gender roles and rarely spotlighting the importance of family, traditional masculinity, or religion beyond surface references. Masculine archetypes can be softened, and the morality system often rewards modern ideals over classic virtues.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In the Legendary Edition, dissenting or traditional viewpoints are rarely given nuanced treatment. Most characters operate by modern Western values, and opposing views are generally sidelined or villainized, there isn’t much room in the galaxy for good-natured counterpoints.
