Mass Effect 2 review

Mass Effect 2 is a game that achieves the impossible. Typically, video game sequels appear to be reconstructed or a pale shadow of the original.

However, Mass Effect 2 is actually much better than its predecessor, and the first Mass Effect is legendary.

And now that Mass Effect 3 and Mass Effect: Andromeda are out, it seems clear that Mass Effect 2 is the best entry in the entire series. Here because.

Combat: evolved

When people praise the first Mass Effect, what they’re really praising is the ace storytelling and extraordinary vocal talent. But the actual combat in that game was slow and boring – the worst part of the game!

In Mass Effect 2, combat is much more visceral and traditional. In fact, it’s basically Gears of War, complete with a cover system. And once you get used to balancing weapons and biotic abilities, the combat in this game is more than “improved” – it’s downright fun.

If this is your first Mass Effect, you can take combat for granted. But for veteran players, this is a serious and welcome update.
