    Third game turns it around - those guys are the bad guys, they always have been. The second game was an “enemy mine” kind of situation. Not every fascist is facist for facism’s sake. A lot of them think they’re saving the world. You, as the player, make sure they get what’s coming to hem.

      The gameplay was not goon enough to make we want to skip it and move onto the third one. There was some nice world buildiong and a couple of good moments but over all it was very… underwhelming. It did not live up to the hype, and if 2 was the highlight of the series I felt like I made the right decision

        You’re getting raked over the coals for this but you’re not alone. ME2 is so linear and simplified it may as well be a different game series. Incredibly disappointing playing it right after ME1. ME3 does turn it all around and it’s my favorite of the three, which is also a controversial take so.
