I stopped playing after the first one because I thought the "Evil AI decide to destroy all humans for no reason" plot was cliched beyond justification and I was pissed that the story made me kill Wrex for some convoluted bullshit "hard choices" reason that caught me completely off guard. Like bruh I would have cheerfully railgunned the little mengele frog dudes from orbit so my buddy could have kids what the actual fuck why did you make a game with like three different Great Replacement plots?
I just don't have any patience for it. There's a whole side-quest where an AI on the moon wakes up, realizes that it will be murdered for hte crime of existing, then kills some people and steals a bunch of money in the process of smuggling itself off Luna to try to hide out somewhere and I was just like "Well yeah, seems reasonable considering" but fascist space supercop Shepard was supposed to give a shit or something.
People get mad at me sometimes and are like "But they ret-con it later!" and I'm like "Bro I gave the story like 70 hours and the last 30 was just perverse curiosity to see if they'd do anything intersting. I gave them a fair shake I don't care what happened in the sequels".
