Somehow better than the first game which is impressive because I considered (and still do consider) that game to be a masterpiece, taking a minor antagonist faction and placing our protagonist into their service was a genius storytelling decision. It uplifts almost everything from its predecessor.

This was a rebuy from long ago, when I thought this game was one of the best, and now over a decade plus, I am rediscovering that I was right all along. I am entrenched in the saga once again!

Attached is my ME2 (classic) review, it largely applies with a few caveats: [*] the DLC are included by default and work out of the box [*] this copy requires the EA APP to function, in practice this means you need to log in 3 times in a row to start the game. Once for EA App, Once for Origin, and Once for the defunct Cerberus Network in-game. [*] The EA APP locked me out of the game because it doesn't work properly under wine/proton and me tinkering to actually get the game to start counts as me activating the game on 5+ separate machines so I consider this title defunct. Let me play my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game EA. ♥♥♥♥♥. Mass Effect 2 is not a good game, this is the worse version of it. I'm not aware of any other meaningful changes so my review will be re-posted verbatim, if there are any changes I forgot about feel free to inform me and I'll update the review: Mass Effect 2 is the weakest of the trilogy by far (and possibly the franchise, with the possible exception of Andromeda but I haven't played it so I can't say). It will test your patience far more than it will ever test your skill. Gone is the shallow-but-serviceable leveling of ME1, replaced with just about the most barebones system imaginable. Instead we get a very middling cover shooter where your squad is more annoying than helpful and gameplay is just slow and tedious. Half the weapons can't hit the broadside of a barn under ideal conditions and do next to zero damage, this is exacerbated tenfold by the screen shake from enemies shooting anywhere in your postcode (which they do a lot what with having unlimited ammo). Most of the time you'll be seeing a lot of ketchup smeared on your screen while waiting for regen, then you get to take a few potshots and repeat. This is on top of the game having some significant technical issue, like crashing when you try to equip an ability on your hotbar, randomly getting stuck in the air some ten meters above the map, or npcs missing parts (such as their entire body). That's not to mention graphical problems like buggy shadows, holes in the level that show the skybox, ugly shaders (e.g the windows on the citadel) or the poor voice acting, or the mostly cringe-inducing and so much more. More pressingly there are about a hundred thousand serious UX issues, I'm somewhat forced to assume the game wasn't QA'd at all. You can't double-click things like in ME1, for example to load a save file, the map screen is very annoying, the minigames for hacking and bypassing are a huge downgrade, scanning planets is slow and tedious, the DLC are broken and require manual fixing, your FOV is locked, sprint/interact/cover is one key, coalesced.ini, removal of useful keybinds like J for journal, O for codex, I for inventory (oh sorry, they removed that too), the game force-equipping weapons on you at certain times which is at minimum jarring and at worse a strict downgrade, enemies rapidfire spamming rockets at you either stunlocking or forcing you to just wait for them to stop, flamethrowers being a guaranteed stunlock, half the time your squad AI seems to break and they'll just stand around doing literally nothing (and the other half of the time they're actively suicidal, refusing to cover even when directed to and facetanking rockets), the near inability to turn when sprinting combined with automatically taking cover if sprinting too close to a cover (with a rather... generous trigger zone), et cetera et cetera et cetera. Individually these are small issues but when combined the game becomes something of a chore to play. It's a technically incompetent game and an unworthy successor to ME1. The only reason I can see to play it is to import your save into ME3 and even that is dubious. It's a totally different game from ME1 akin to if the next Grand Theft Auto were to be an XCOM bootleg. The similarities are surface-level at best with almost every mechanic being altered for the worse. The one saving grace I can say is that it's marginally more stable than its predecessor. ME2 is gears of war but a lot worse in every way, it does not benefit from the poor cover shooting mechanics and the game is a slog at the best of times. Killing enemeis feels hollow and unrewarding since they offer no rewards whatsoever, no EXP, no credits, no loot. If you're lucky you get an ammo refill but don't count on it. I would award the game 0/10 points but that implies it's so bad it's almost worth playing, the reality is that it's not fundamentally broken like bad rats or bubsy 3d, no it's more insidious than that. It's shallow slop, complete mediocre drivel. It's not worth the time of day and doesn't bring anything to the table, let alone anything interesting. It's a shallow and repetitive experience, every encounter plays more or less the same with minimal enemy and build variety.
