8 Hardest Video Game Trophies & Achievements Of 2021 (So Far)

6. Insanity III - Mass Effect: Legendary Edition

Yes the Mass Effect games aren't new to 2021, but a cross-trilogy set of achievements are.

In a notably cool move then, the Mass Effect Legendary Edition actually tracks a number of goals over all three games, keeping an eye on various kill-stats, if you kept the same character throughout, whether you juggled or rekindled partners, and so on.

They're all largely achievable - and those "kill X number of enemies with biotic powers" trophies are a blast - but there is one currently sitting on 1.4% acquisition:

Beating all three games on Insanity difficulty.

Thankfully Mass Effect 1 now plays a hell of a lot better than it did back in 2007, but you still have to contend with laser-focused enemies one-shotting you from across the map. Swarms of zombie-like creatures called Husks can lock you into constantly reacting to their swipes in each game, and any number of other combat scenarios see Shepard dying in seconds, if you're not standing in the EXACT right place at the EXACT right time.

One game on Insanity? Sure. Two? Doubtful. All three? HELL no.
