   The Overlord pack adds a little of everything that will keep the player interested and expand the Mass Effect story. The main feature of this content is that it contains a new planet to explore, both on foot and by a new hovercraft style Cerberus vehicle, the M-44 Hammerhead. While vehicles were present in the first game, Mass Effect 2 did slightly lack the planet free-roam, which is why the Overlord pack is a refreshing change. It also provides some natural obstacles that the player will need to overcome with the vehicle, such as crossing lava flows and reaching higher locations using steam vents. There are four assignments overall, which does make this pack a slightly longer experience than the previous costing DLC's, around two hours of content, perhaps more depending on the difficulty. The assignments all follow on from each other and therefore all need to be completed in a set order, which is both gripping and intriguing, as each assignment leads you on to the next. There are several Renegade and Paragon dialogue options in the content which will allow the player to tailor make the decisions and outcomes of the final assignment. The Overload DLC doesn't seem to be dependant on the player having completed the final story missions of the main game, so the content could be played before or after, depending on when the player may see fit to start it. Overall the pack is a great edition to the Mass Effect story and is a welcomed addition for any fan of the series. It has beautiful locations and buildings, new, and not recycled from earlier in the game. It is a shame there is only four short assignments as the free-roam planet and vehicle exploration could have led to several side-missions and quests, but all in all, a solid piece of content.… Expand

   I like this DLC, it feels big and expands on the usual closed-off feel of the rest of Mass Effect 2. 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 members were painfully silent. I expect better with DLCs in a game like this. I want squad interaction, party banter, etc!… Expand
