    It lacks a sense of lasting import. [March 2013, p.111]

    You can safely skip this DLC if you don't care about the fate of the Omega station, the ending to the Mass Effect: Invasion comic book, or Aria's personal journey.

    Lair of the Shadow Broker keeps its place as the best DLC because Omega is just another routine mission filled with linear action. [Christmas 2012]

    There are some nice nuances and a couple of "neutral"-type choices that can be made, but overall I'm not impressed with any of the possible end results, not when this DLC costs a rather princely sum of $15.

    It's a weak DLC. Things as important as the story or gameplay leave a lot to be desired, and the only valuable part of this expansion is the cast. New characters are interesting and have unique skills, that make playing this DLC bearable. Unfortunately - you have to demand more from such a pricey expansion. Stupid story, boring locations and monotonous gameplay that consists only of shooting are the key features of Omega. It's one of the worst DLCs in Mass Effect history, and perhaps even in BioWare's.

    A not so good DLC that's been presented as a straightforward, almost tunnel-like action game with no bearing on the original events nor the characters at all. All in all, even if you take its bright moments of fun, strangely you feel the new chapter, or more precisely the new stand-alone short story (like from the Mass Effect 3 book), is pointless.

    It's a disappointing, short, overpriced dlc, that has no major impact on the main story whatsoever. Sure, it's cool to see Aria again.

It does not try to add anything more to the main story arch, but it's own story arch is decent and nicely narrated. It includes interesting companions, decent level design and a few moral choices. Combat is enjoyable and there are sections with a few twists to it included. There are also atmospheric non-combat moments which are a nice touch. Overall it is a very nice side adventure.… Full Review »

There is one great thing about it - the disability to use your ordinary crew members and using the new ones instead. The story is about retaking Omega by Aria and it tells about the controversy of her and the other new NPC - Nirene, both of them are trying to defeat Cerberus, but their methods are different. So there are new allies along with new enemies. Lots of battles, few dialogues. Also I'd like to mention awesome sexy voice acting by Carrie-Anne Moss (Aria).… Full Review »
