Mass Effect 3: Omega User Review

The latest addon for ME3 doesn't bring anything new to the game, and is by far the least interesting addon to date.

The latest addon for ME3 doesn't bring anything new to the game, and is by far the least interesting addon to date.

You play with Aria T'Lok in taking back Omega, and end up meeting a female Turian (who knew there were female Turians?) along the way who apparently was in some kind of relationship with Aria.

Taking back Omega has enough gameplay to warrant the price of the addon, but falls short in creativity. It's fun that you get to play with Aria and get some new cool biotic powers to play with, but the campaign is very boring. Simply gunning down Cerberus soldiers and Atlas walkers. They tried to add a bit of flare to the addon by adding a new Reaper enemy, the Adjucants.

These look like gigantic gorillas that were converted by the Reapers, but you find out they were actually made by Cerberus.

Anyway, the campaign also makes Shepard out to be a Renegade, where you're given a lot of Renegade action choices, and on the first play, you may be tempted to simply hit the Renegade action button because it's simply jumping at you, but the choices you make may not be as clear cut as most of the Renegade or Paragon prompts are.

Overall, I'd give this addon a 6. Good graphics, and a decent attempt at bringing some new things to the game, but the campaign was boring, and ultimately, none of it matters since it won't change the ending of the game. So this campaign is moot.

They couldn't satisfy everyone's distaste for the BS ending, and if they would have come out with different outcomes instead of just more info on the Reapers and a few extra shots during the ending, this may have mattered, but if you want the complete ME3 game, you have to have this. Otherwise, pass on it.
