10 Most Stressful Video Game Levels

With all the flirting that goes on onboard the Normandy in Mass Effect 2, it can be easy to forget that Shepherd and their crew are on a high-stakes mission to stop humanity from being harvested by an alien race known as The Collectors.

Throughout this acclaimed RPG, players will work to rebuild their crew, earn their loyalty, and enhance their ship so that they’ll be prepared for their final battle against this new threat. And thanks to the superb writing that fully fleshes out every character, players will have developed a strong bond with everyone by this point.

When the time comes to undertake the final mission in which everything is riding on the line, each decision that players have made will be the deciding factors in whether your favourite Normandy crewmates will make it to the end.

Dubbed The Suicide Mission, this entire mission is a nail-biting sequence of action and suspense as players watch as events unfold, making important choices along the way. At this point all players can do is pray they’ve done enough for their squad, and hopefully not be scarred with the image of them being carried off by deadly space bees.
