Omega lacks the polish of the main game, with occasional visual glitches marring several of the cutscenes. Still, its presence (combined with that of another new enemy) and the high quality of set piece design goes a long way towards making the action here enjoyable. Functionally, it isnвЂ™t that much different from some of the other enemies youвЂ™ve faced before. This creature turns out to be a pretty interesting enemy, if only in design. There are some really great set pieces here, including a spooky trek lit only by the flashlight at the end of your gun while an unknown creature stalks your team. Most of the 3-4 hour runtime is spent gunning down Cerberus troops through the various halls and tunnels of OmegaвЂ™s underbelly. There isnвЂ™t much in the way of dialogue here. If you enjoyed the combat in ME3, youвЂ™ll love this DLC pack. The primary villain is probably the most interesting of the characters here, and his holographic version functioning as the devil on ShepardвЂ™s shoulder during a particularly intense scene was the highpoint of the DLC.

These battling archetypes wear thin quickly and donвЂ™t offer the same type of nuanced storytelling that the series has done quite well in the past. Nyreen is the bleeding heart who would sacrifice anything to protect the people Aria the tough as nails take no prisoners dictator who would just as soon let 1000 civilians die if it means she gets her station back. While Nyreen herself is at first a somewhat interesting addition to the mythos, it becomes clear pretty quickly that her only purpose is to provide the Yin to AriaвЂ™s Yang.

Every f-bomb, every line of hard a** dialogue only reinforces the fact that she is ultimately a pretty one dimensional character.Д®ven their attempt at a deeper glimpse into her life, a window into her relationship with a female turian named Nyreen, quickly devolves into the clichГ©. By the end of the content, it has become pretty heavy handed. Unfortunately, having this entire DLC built around her forces Bioware to keep offering glances into that portrait.

The glimpses we get into AriaвЂ™s personality during our somewhat brief encounters with her during ME2 and ME3вЂ™s main campaign serve as a believable portrait that allows the player to extrapolate nicely what sheвЂ™s probably like to be around full time. Her character is given ample time to shine here, but I canвЂ™t help but feel like she was better served with limited focus.

Because of this, it feels a bit hollow.ДЄria has been a somewhat popular addition to the series since her debut in ME2 as the hard-nosed Asari who ruled over OmegaвЂ™s bloodthirsty population with an iron fist. Developed by Bioware Montreal, the same studio that worked on the multiplayer from ME3, Omega doesnвЂ™t have the benefit of either launching with the game or having an earth shattering story. The newest entry into this lineage is вЂњOmega,вЂќ which follows Shepard as he attempts to help Aria TвЂ™loak take back the titular space station. вЂњLeviathanвЂќ had the benefit of containing information that shook the seriesвЂ™ mythos to its core. вЂњFrom AshesвЂќ came at launch, so it was able to be neatly inserted into the story.

Considering most players will have already beaten the game by the time they play it, any effect it has on the game at large seems almost pointless. DLC for a game with an ending as final as Mass Effect 3вЂ™s was always going to be somewhat awkward.
