  An EA game that doesn't force you to download Origin. 10/10

  Did you know there’s a game where you can come back from death, blow up prisons, take on three factions of mercenaries, deal with wars between species, survive a Suicide Mission and get in a relationship with the hot alien you want? Nominated as the best game of the generation, winning 150 awards of Game of the Year of 2010 and building so much hype that its sequel couldn’t be more than disappointing, Mass Effect 2 is a game you have to play. Even if you didn’t play the first one, you won’t be left in the dark, people will tell you what’s the deal and the codex has all the extra details. If you played the first one, then you’ll enjoy the fact that your choices carry over and have some weight on what’s happening. The combat involves 3rd person camera, using your class specific abilities and guns and giving commands to your squadmates and it has an interface made for PC. There are 6 classes and each of them are varied enough for every playthrough to feel like a fresh experience. Some are more power based, other weapon focused, but all of them do damage and are awesome and you’ll definitely find your type, whether you like to make shockwaves in the enemy lines, hack the robots, pull them in a singularity, cloak yourself and shoot them in the back or simply slow down time to shoot them while they wonder what’s happening with them. There are difficulties that vary from casual from insanity, so whether you play games for their story or want to dominate the dominators, you’ll find what you want. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=312867227 Many will say the story is great. I say it’s a good one, but that its characters make it to be one of the best. 80% of it you recruit team members and gain their loyalty(only if you want to). They all prove themselves to be interesting and you’ll have enough dialogue options to find out what makes them tick. On your ship, there is going to be the hyperactive mad(ish) scientist, the hot secretary, the crazy all powerful bitch, the assassin with regrets, the best friend who took a rocket in his face and is 99% of the time in the middle of some calibrations, a lizard hulk who calles himself “Grunt”, the gun expert that does 663 abs each day, the cute engineer whose face you’ll never see and some more. You’ll have the options to get involved in their lives. Some of them will argue and you’ll be the one to settle the conflict. Depending on your gender, some of them are available and open to ideas. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=308178738 The last mission a.k.a. The Suicide Mission is what makes everything in the game pay off. It’s the place where the catharsis is unleashed. The place where your love for this game will be cemented. Whatever you’ve done, there will be consequences and by that time, you’ll care. If you’ll fail hard, you’ll cry hard. But if you’ve upgraded the ship and made the smart choices throughout the game and in the last minutes, you’ll be overjoyed and feel like you’ve won 1 million dollars. All in all, Mass Effect 2 is a great experience, when you’ll play it you’ll live your second life, one where you’re saving the galaxy you enjoy being into. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=311505611

  🟢 Plug and Play Consult steam input controls before playing to know what button do what. Keep in mind that while the game is fully functional, the Legendary Edition is better experience due to the built-in control support. Tested on: OnexPlayer Mini Pro 6800U Follow Handheld Friendly

  ME2 was the best of the series IMO. I've played the entire trilogy to completion a few times and will likely do so again. Can only say that for a handful of games.

  Widely considered to be the best Mass Effect ever made, especially after the mess that was 3's ending. If you want to play a game where you're choices actually matter this is about as good as it gets.

  I recommend the game--just not as a digital download. The buying options on Steam are misleading (I don't think this is Steam's fault, I believe it is more of an issue with how Bioware chose to package their content); Buying the "Digital Deluxe Edition" DOES NOT include ALL in-game content. NONE of the DLCs are packaged into the "Digital Deluxe Edition." And NONE of the DLC is purchasable on Steam. This is NOT readily apparent unless you carefully read the description on Steam. Furthermore, to access the alleged extras in this DDE version, you must make a Bioware account, find the proper pages, download the alleged extras manually, and install manually before you can play them. I originally played ME 2 on PS3, having bought a disk edition that had all the DLCs included. That is your best bet for this game unfortunately. If you buy the digital download, by the time you have all the content (vanilla game + DLCs) you will be sinking WAY more money into Bioware's money grubbing hands then this 6+ year old game is worth.

  1. Buy and finish ME1 2. Buy and finish ME2 3. Buy and finish ME3 (sadly, available only on Origin, but importing saves from non-Origin ME1 and 2 is easy) That's it. Have fun with one of the better stories in the gaming history!

  I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite game on Steam.
