Trivia
The voice of the Catalyst at the end of the game is actually a combination of three voices: The boy that Shepard encounters in the first mission of the game, and the voices of the male and female Shepard, Mark Meer and Jennifer Hale.

Goofs
At the last part of the Leviatan DLC, where Sheppard and his team are crash-landing on a derelict ship in the sea-world it's stated that many of them look very old. Yet there are lots of thermal clips scattered everywhere, despite the fact that thermal clips were introduced only 2 years prior the events of Mass Effect 3 game.

Quotes
Mordin Solus: Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong.

Mass Effect 3 Review

Pros:

Amazing story & characters
Mostly better gameplay
More enemy types
Amazing voice acting
Amazing music
Good customisation
Tons of weapons mods and upgrades
Some impressive cinematic scenes
A lot to do

Cons:

Mapping roll with cover is clunky
Messy objective list
Some may be problematic with endings

Verdict: The third and final instalment was a fitting conclusion to the Mass Effect trilogy packed with emotion, high-stakes, action, and drama. Many have found the endings disappointing, however, I was mostly satisfied with it (I played the DLC EC btw). In some instances, ME3 did feel like ME2.5, as something that would have elevated this game could have been proper open-world areas to explore to feel more lively. But I was satisfied either way.

IMO ME2 is the best as it had the largest improvements overall. But ME3 is still great and a fitting end.

8.5 /10.
