Mass Effect – The Mako Sequences

mass effect 1

Mass Effect is a fantastic space opera that’s home to some great stories and memorable characters, but certain aspects of the original felt half baked and borderline frustrating at times. I am of course talking about the Mako sequences, which task you with exploring planets with this space vehicle. The controls feel really floaty in the original rendition of the game, which make movements and combat a total exercise in pain as you keep replaying the same sections over and over again. These sequences can total up to a significant portion of the runtime, which makes it all the more worse. The Legendary Edition does make some changes to the experience with better controls and a boost option for the vehicle, and while it isn’t completely fixed we are still thankful for the changes regardless.
