    Mass Effect 3 Review - Does It Still Hold Up?

    The Mass Effect trilogy ends here, but does it go out on a high? In this episode, Lennon and David close out their Mass Effect run with Mass Effect 3 to find out if BioWare's galaxy-wide finale still holds up in 2026. They cover the story, the Reaper invasion and why it loses some of its urgency, the changes to the Paragon and Renegade system, and the incredible character send-offs that make this game worth the journey alone. They also get into Javik as the standout companion of the trilogy, the controversial red, blue and green endings, the indoctrination theory, why the Illusive Man is a shadow of himself compared to Mass Effect 2, and the story payoffs that only land if you have played all three games.
