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.Show moreShow less

I think many that level bad scores and a list of complaints at Mass Effect 2 have fallen into the trap of looking at games purely as a collection of mechanics. Sure, it's another cover shooter, which taken alone is merely decent. They're right that the RPG elements are simple and at times are obtuse and too black and white. You can, at least partially, break the upgrade system by grinding resource collection. Given all that it would seem there is no reason to even play this game but you'd be wrong. This game, and the whole series, is trying to be more than just mindless entertainment. It's trying to to tell a deep, rich story, trying to get you to really care about it's characters, and it's trying to get you to think beyond the mechanics, beyond the game even. By no means is this just a story with some game attached, but the story and how your decisions effect it and it's characters are a huge part of this game. When you play this game, because to be clear, you should play it, I would urge you to try and actually role play the choices. This game brings up some pretty serious issues in some of it's choices. Issues that should stop and make you think, not just about how this will effect your game but about how you would actually feel about this in your everyday life. You can always go back and play it again and make all the "good" or "bad" choices but at least once you should really put yourself in Cmd. Shepard's shoes, make the choices you would be comfortable making outside the game. Don't worry about what the game says your moral score is, play it to learn something about yourself.Show moreShow less

Well gosh I'm sure glad I spent the extra money on the digital deluxe edition EVEN THOUGH NONE OF THE DIGITAL DELUXE CONTENT WORKS ON STEAM AND THIS HAS BEEN PUBLIC INFORMATION SINCE AT LEAST 2016 Seriously why is steam selling the DDE, they are literally scamming everyone who buys it because none of the content works outside of origin now, it couldn''t be that hard to remove it or at least add a disclaimer that you're not actually getting anything else for the extra price.Show moreShow less

Do NOT buy this game! This is NOT the full game! If you want to play the dlcs you HAVE to download it on Origin and PAY another 25 bucks to get the dlcs worth playing! Even the included "Cerberus Network" doesn't work with Steam, only with Origin. Don't get me wrong, you can complete the game, and it is a great game, but you're missing a lot of good stuff with this so called "Digital Deluxe Edition". EA still has the impudence to charge a lot of money for dlc of a 2010 game! And if you want to get a complete Mass Effect Experience and care for certain characters, you may want to get everything. PS: The Mod ALOT makes all 3 Mass Effect games still worth playing in 2020, but EA is just a s*** company.Show moreShow less

DO NOT BUY IF YOU WANT THE EXPANSIONS! The Deluxe Edition does NOT come with any of the major expansions (Lair of the Shadow Broker, The Arrival, Stolen Dreams, etc) If you want them you have to buy the game on Origin. Don't be fooled by EA like I was, forced to buy the same ♥♥♥♥ twice, just a fair warning as they've intentionally mucked this up for confusions sake.Show moreShow less
