Boy do I wish it was more than that.
   
   In my opinion, the entire Levi DLC is masterfully done, and I was on the edge of my seat for some of it. there are some reveals throughout that tie up loose ends from ME 1 and 2, like who was controlling the rachni etc... as far as value goes, its worth the 10 bucks. it even may have some replayability, who knows.
   
   What this DLC does wrong, is that it only reinforces to the hardcore fans of Mass Effect that the ending of ME3 was a half-baked disaster. The leviathans should have been the answer to the reapers, along with all the races that you united, not the obscure and left-field catalyst & crucible bull****. It's heartbreaking when Bioware can make content that is beyond excellent, and yet at the same time defend the worst ending in gaming history. It's like Bioware has two heads... ;) As a DLC itself, if you can put aside that it is yet another middle finger to anyone that dislikes ME3's ending, Leviathan of Dis is the best ME DLC since Lair of the Shadowbroker. aside from the part where you realize its just an increase in Gaylactic Readiness, everything else is well done, well polished, and fun to play. There were even a few times where I forgot I was Playing ME3, and thought It was a ME2 DLC. that in itself is a sign that something was done right.
   
   Overall, I Can't justify giving this DLC less than a perfect score. After all, I am rating the DLC, not the full game here. Its just too bad that paid reviewers are now talking about the ending in the review of this DLC, and rating this DLC on the ending of ME3. if they were worth their salt, they would re-rate the actual game itself instead based on the ending, instead of trashing a great DLC.… Expand

It's a gem that offers a deep dive into one of the major themes this game holds, much like the impactful "From Ashes" DLC. It's another essential addition for sure.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing first SP DLC with more content about the reaper history, and those who created them.
   To be honest, i was absolutely mind-blown and stunned when i saw that underwater scene with Leaviathan showing up. (Their race is called Leviathan)
   Its amazing because i never expected the first race of the galaxy to be alive and be organic, but they are there deep in the ocean and they are hiding from their own synthetic creation that turned against them and its harvesting every civilization every 50.000 years.
   
   All in all this DLC is way beyond awesome and its well worth the money, they did a tremendous job with this.
   This is exactly the kind of content that i been looking for so long.… Expand

Contains a lot of back story and promises a lot but doesn't really deliver when it matters and doesn't feel like it has any real impact on the rest of the story once it's over its own self contained story driven mission.… Expand

   An average so-so expansion, stock shooting gallery parts with mild detective/problem solving portions similar to the ME2 DLCs like Overlord,An average so-so expansion, stock shooting gallery parts with mild detective/problem solving portions similar to the ME2 DLCs like Overlord, though much smaller. Price tag a bit hefty considering the amount of content (I finished this in an hour and a half). As expected, the finality of the game's ending doesn't leave any DLC room to manoeuvre so at best you're getting a couple of hours extra game time and a small revelation or two regarding the origins of the Reapers and the Catalyst AI.… Expand

Ea/Bioware really wanted to piss off the ME fans and they've achieved it on many fronts. You gain nothing from this dlc, except for the final conversation, which is somewhat interesting. The choice you'll make won't matter, because the ME 3 endings don't give a f*** what you'll do or what you want to do. Also, I forgot to mention this in my Mass Effect 3 review, so I'll say it here. This game is bugged as f***.. and I'm talking about the fully patched version with all the dlcs.. I'm astonished how this game was even released. I had a ladder issues in this dlc and in the vanilla game when I had to activate hammers on Tuchanka... I had to replay that part over 30 times, because of the reaper issues (his claws or whatever after blocking the pathway would create an invisible wall that I couldn't go through)... what a f***kin mess this was. I'm glad this game and its dlcs are behind me... Pickens out.… Expand

   I must admit I played this game DLC at my girlfriends as I would never give Bioware/Origin a single penny more. What did I think unbiasedlyI must admit I played this game DLC at my girlfriends as I would never give Bioware/Origin a single penny more. What did I think unbiasedly decent DLC but really just shows that the game was broken from the start. Origin is spyware and its up to the user if thats what they want on their P.C this is not my opinion its the opinion of everyone who has looked more closely at the Origin game launcher. Origin having the worst customer service score on the net again not my opinion google it. After Origin/Bioware blocked my access to a game I purchsed from them I got Paypal to get my money back from them which they did. So If you note Paypal rarely find for the customer against large companies yet they did in my case. Should make you think.… Expand
