Before BioWare lost its way, Mass Effect 2 was the pinnacle of sci-fi RPGs. It was a masterclass in character writing and narrative urgency, making every squadmate feel vital and every decision carry weight. You booted it up, played through a meticulously crafted campaign, and felt completely satisfied. No need for endless "engagement loops" or post-launch monetization schemes; it just *was* a phenomenal game.
