Mass Effect.
3’s ending didn’t quite stick the landing, on launch, but was fixed a few months down the line with the Extended Cut DLC.
1 and 2 were amazing. 1 especially had a great ending.
3 was amazing too. I hate that muh ending ruined another romp with the crew for most reviewers.
It was more of 2 with QOL, and it was grand, a little emo tho.
Truthfully the weakest and strongest part of ME2 is that nothing that impacts the overall plot happens basically at all.
At the start of the first game, the Council is shown irrefutable proof of the existence of Reapers.
Then the second game fully focuses on doing side missions and expanding lore, without anything directly related to the Reapers (Excluding Arrival DLC).
Then 3 has you actually confront the Reapers.
2 is likely my favorite of the games, if only because I love the set pieces, lore, gameplay, all the squad members, and the difficulty level of insanity.
But the ending of 1 with M4 Pt 2 by Faunts playing was just so incredibly like the meme in the post haha. I do also get the same vibe for the ending of Mass Effect 2.
