Oh boy...I dunno where to start.

I got a friend who's not (was not xd) into space theme, but he played all the trilogy, then played Andromeda and Outer Worlds.

I played original games long time ago so this was my second playthrough.

I'm not good with words but Imma try my best.

Also. I highly recommend to visit Nexusmods and install Community Patches. They contain literally hundreds of bugfixes and I didn't play without them so can't say much about vanilla experience. After more than 150 hours maybe I had one minor issue and I don't even remember what it was.

Best description about these games is "Space Odyssey".

It's an incredible adventure, where choices you make will follow you for the entire journey. Small decisions in first game will have consequences for some characters in ME2 and ME3. More important choices during story missions will have bigger impact and that will affect how the plot develop. For example you may finish one of the games with all companions alive or with almost all dead. Recently one dude posted screenshot which shows that he killed almost every crew member but stayed alive, which isn't an easy task :D
I guess after all that text I should mention that you import your character and decisions from one game to the next.

Shower thoughts, I'll try to keep it shorter further.
ME1 is introduction to the universe and serves it's role as exposition. You will meet a lot of different and cool races, will learn about the politics, how is society organized etc.
There's a karma system across all three games. You can make Renegade or Paragon choices. There're also karma skill checks in different conflicts which requires you to have a certain amount of points in order to success in persuasion.
It's an interesting title with a lot of mysteries and each one only produces more questions.
Visually this game was remastered but don't expect too much. Everything looked okay. I have no complaints.
Worst thing in ME1 is Mako missions. Clunky and just awful controls. All investigated planets have curved hills and most often you must cross them to investigate POI. It's just a pain even with mod.
Story is a blast. Just go and see.
Gameplay is fun, biotic is so OP in ME1.

ME2 was my favorite game among trinity.
Structure of the game is quite weird: beiggest part - companion loyalty missions. They aren't mandatory but I highly suggest to complete them.
The last story mission is one of the best things I've ever seen for past 20 years in games. Epic, badass, breathtaking. I had the chills all over my body although I already seen it. The music is so good..my favorite track from the trilogy.
Tip: postpone Tali's loyalty mission and bring Legion to the Migrant Fleet.

ME3 is my new favorite. Because of controversial ending I wanted to forget the game and never touch it again and I succeeded..in the former part.
When I replayed it recently..wow...just wow. Such an incredible atmosphere of desperation and hopelesness. The heroic pathos in ME2 and ME3 is just on another level. You can feel it and it excites every cell in you body.
Amount of different variables to solve conflicts in this game is just insane. When you don't know what you're doing, may end up a bit disappointed, but surprised nonetheless.
Gameplay wise this is my favorite game. 2nd was overtuned on Insanity and it was very big pain in the ass.

Director's cut ending of the Trilogy is ok, but I still feel bad for some characters and their fate.

I highly suggest you to check WHEN to play DLC in ME2 and ME3 because it won't make sense to complete them asap.

Best characters with no specific order: Mordin, Tali, EDI. Legion is in its own league. I also love the feud between Jack and Miranda. Joker is okay as well :)

I wish you all the best experience with this masterpiece. Just go and buy it already :)
PS: huge library of ME screenshots. SPOILER alert ! No images are concealed.
