Out of the many memorable and era-defining moments seen throughout the Mass Effect series, Mass Effect 2's Suicide Mission might have set too high a bar that future games in the series may never meet. Following the release of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition in 2021, players both new to the series and returning fans could experience Mass Effect 2's infamous Suicide Mission, a climactic finale that pushed BioWare's player-driven narrative style to its limit. Though it isn't the only player-made choice with ramifications for later games, the arguably brutal scale and long-lived reputation of Mass Effect 2's Suicide Mission has unquestionably set a precedent for the series.
