Is ME2 harder than ME1?

Yes, Mass Effect 2 (ME2) is generally considered harder than Mass Effect 1 (ME1), especially when playing back-to-back or on higher difficulties like Insanity, due to a shift towards cover-based shooting, tougher enemy defenses (barriers/shields), and less "cheese" from overpowered early-game abilities, though ME1's endgame could also become very powerful. ME2 demands more tactical use of cover, team powers, and specific gear to break enemy protections, unlike ME1 where overwhelming biotics or powerful sniper rifles could dominate.
