Technology advances humanity and the universe's species. Until they find remnants of an older civilization. Understanding they aren't the first or the last. Civilization operates in cycles. It reaches a point where it reaches its peak. Operating ancient stargates and a central system designed to summon the Reapers. The Reapers are machine operated and sentient, surviving in Deep Space. They're unlike other races in the universe, some of AI species. The Reapers reset the entire universe for the next cycle of evolution. I didn't play past 3, played 1 and 2, and I didn't buy the expansions for 3, except the one it came with. It gave 3 options on ending like Deus Ex. All were grim. All made sense. It didn't need more franchise.

The story was deep enough.

Quite similar to Babylon 5. It is also being televised shortly. It had been attempted slightly with the Expanse. But I hated Expanse. Like I have also loathed Foundation, it isn't the books. Mass Effect is different in its own unique ways. But it's a story otherwise retold.

Apology for any spoilers.
