>but there is a lot more to it.

There really isn't. The bad guy is always an unambiguously evil corporation, the good guy is always an average Joe caught in an unexpected situation trying to survive, and that's it. Yeah, there's some lore about exactly how shitty Umbrella is if you read every note in every game, but Mass Effect this is not. You can start literally anywhere in the RE canon and you'll know what's going on. It's a simple story and it's not told in a particularly strong way.

If you say so. It's not on the level as Metal Gear or Nier, but it's not as shallow as you are making it out to be either.
