   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not a bad addition to the Mass Effect universe but nothing special either the Overlord DLC fills in a bit more of the back story of what Cerberus gets upto in its spare time, with a mission involving bailing a Cerberus cell out of the trouble they've got themselves into. For added bonus, this DLC unlocks a couple of easter eggs in Mass Effect 3. Fun enough to play through if you love the Mass Effect universe, but you're not missing out on anything if you don't play it.… Expand

EA should just be erased from our timeline, worst company there is. Still, I've enjoyed playing Overlord... wish this was in the game from the very beginning. Pickens approves!… Expand

As usual, though, this DLC is not essential, but prolongs your game for an hour or two. The story isn't actually that bad, and would have made an interesting sideline in the first game.… Expand

   Overlord was decent. It was certainly a step in the right direction. I cannot be too negative about it other than saying your squad membersOverlord was decent. It was certainly a step in the right direction. I cannot be too negative about it other than saying your squad members were painfully silent. I expect better with DLCs in a game like this. I want squad interaction, party banter, etc!… Expand
