I really liked the first Mass Effect, and I think it had one of the best sci-fi stories I’ve seen in a game. The reapers were these godlike beings that were an existential threat to the whole galaxy. Everybody came together to take the one reaper out, and then they destroy the relay network so more can’t come on. To me that felt like a good story with a clean ending. The rest of the series just became increasingly absurd in my opinion.
Yup, in the first game a single reaper was a threat that everybody had to come together to defeat, and then they just throw them at you like regular enemies. I feel like they didn’t really plan out the story past the first game, but since it got popular they decided to cash in on that.
Yeah, I only watched others play the games, but they had to use a deus ex machina at the end to save everyone, in I guess what was an acknowledgement of the reapers being super powerful, it seems.

Yeah, the reapers seemed to become less of a threat as time wore on.

The ending really didn’t make too much sense to me. I really felt the series just kept getting worse with every game.
