Another DLC for the action RPG game Mass Effect 2 from studio BioWare. The Arrival presents events which fill in the gap between the second and the third installment in the Mass Effect series. Admiral Hackett asks commander Shepard to rescue a covert operative from Batarians - dr Amanda Kenson has found evidence for existence of the Reapers and knows the exact time of their attack on the defenseless galaxy.

Mass Effect 2: The Arrival DLC is another addition to a great game by BioWare. The production takes on the Commander Shepard, the first human Spectre, who must save the universe from destruction. The expansion shows the events connecting the second and third installment of the series.

In The Arrival, we set out on another dangerous mission commissioned by Admiral Hackett. This time, the goal is to save Dr. Kenson from the batarians. The scientist has important information on the Reapers and is therefore extremely important. The situation requires extraordinary measures – Shepard cannot use the help of his experienced team and must act alone. This means that most of the time we have to count only on our own skills and avoid open combat.

The creators balanced the game and appropriately adjusted the opponents, so the task is possible to complete without the support of other characters. Arrival is not just about combat or stealth. A large portion of it are dialogues and new information on the Mass Effect universe. With this expansion, we learn, among other things, how and when the dreadful Reapers intend to attack the defenseless Earth.
