After spending more than 50 hours to explore every aspect of the game, I would say that Mass Effect 2 is indeed a masterpiece. No spoilers here of course. In my over two decades of computing gaming, there aren’t many games that keep me engrossed, playing over a sustained duration. The Mass Effect franchise could well [...]
