News::God is real, and it wants us dead: The religious terror of BioWare's biggest games

Polygon: "Games are often better at conveying horror than most other mediums, due to our direct and real-time responses. This year, we've experienced the constant dread of Alien: Isolation and the grotesque physicality of The Evil Within. Overlooked, however, is the cosmic horror in BioWare games. "We impose order on the chaos of organic life. You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it." These are the words of Sovereign, the first Reaper you encounter in Mass Effect. At this point, you discover that all life has been essentially created and guided by these godlike creatures. Now the Reapers are coming to end what they created."
