I'm left amazed at the vast improvement Mass Effect 2 is. The core gameplay has been refined and tweaked to make the firefights and biotic slinging that much more impactful. Along with some superb storytelling. From the bombastic opening, I was hooked more into this game than I was in the first game which left a sour taste in my mouth coming into this game. I thought of this game more like a training arc between the first game and the second game that allowed me to truly explore the galaxy at my leisure. Being able to see the slums of Omega to the Love Hotels of Illum made the galaxy feel as full of life as it implied.
