For reference, the original game scored 91 and Mass Effect 3 scored 93.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\"><strong>Check out the Mass Effect Legendary Edition trailer below!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cAre you prepared to lose everything to save the galaxy? You&#8217;ll need to be, Commander Shepard,\u201d reads the synopsis of <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamingbible.com\/mass-effect\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mass Effect<\/a> 2. \u201cIt&#8217;s time to bring together your greatest allies and recruit the galaxy&#8217;s fighting elite to continue the resistance against the invading Reapers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">As <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dsogaming.com\/mods\/new-mass-effect-2-legendary-edition-mod-overhauls-all-enemies\/\">reported by<\/a> DSOgaming, you can download a free <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamingbible.com\/mods\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mod<\/a> for the <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamingbible.com\/pc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PC<\/a> version of Mass Effect 2 featured in the 2021 Legendary Edition which includes remasters of the original trilogy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">BioWare\u2019s Mass Effect series is considered by many to be one of the best properties from the studio alongside the likes of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire, Dragon Age: Origins and more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Sure, BioWare has had its fair share of missteps along the way such as Anthem, but that hasn&#8217;t stopped the excitement for Mass Effect 5, a game announced in 2021 that still does not have a release date by the way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The free mod in question created by Ravager called \u2018LE2 Advanced Enemy Factions\u2019 is available to download now <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/masseffectlegendaryedition\/mods\/2722?tab=description\">via<\/a> Nexusmods.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The mod not only overhauls enemy factions with new lore-friendly weapons and powers for enemies but also makes cosmetic changes including gear and even blood. These changes can be seen during cinematic cutscenes and not just during gameplay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Sadly, as is the nature of most mods, this is only compatible with the PC version of Mass Effect 2 in the Legendary Edition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Mass Effect Legendary Edition is out now on PC, PlayStation and Xbox.<\/p>\n<p>Featured Image Credit: EA<\/p>\n<p class=\"topics-list_topic__nSIGw\">Topics:\u00a0<a class=\"topics-list_tag__Ryb8j\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamingbible.com\/mass-effect\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mass Effect<\/a>, <a class=\"topics-list_tag__Ryb8j\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamingbible.com\/bioware\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bioware<\/a>, <a class=\"topics-list_tag__Ryb8j\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamingbible.com\/ea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EA<\/a>, <a class=\"topics-list_tag__Ryb8j\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamingbible.com\/mods\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mods<\/a>, <a class=\"topics-list_tag__Ryb8j\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamingbible.com\/pc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PC<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published 12:58 4 Apr 2025 GMT+1 The best game just got better If you\u2019re on the lookout for&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3808,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[2243,2244,2242,2245,546,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-3807","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-bioware","9":"tag-ea","10":"tag-mass-effect","11":"tag-mods","12":"tag-pc","13":"tag-technology","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114291337094133285","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3807"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3807\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
