Omega was not the flop I was led to believe it would be. I agree with the sentiment that Aria was never a rich and compelling character, but the larger reviews seem unjustly harsh. The bad press, I suspect has more to do with publications trying to save face after giving ME3 perfect score when the ending was sub-par. Regardless, Omega was an entertaining adventure. We have the chance to return to Omega and are greeted with vibrant new environments, unique enemy types, and interesting battles. Will the dlc affect the ending? No, but that doesn't make it any less entertaining. The weakness lies in characters. Aria is more a thug than a charismatic tyrant. Petrosky is less a tactician and strategist than simply one more obstacle. However, this made it seem truer to the Mass Effect universe. An over-powered biotic has power simply because she has greater ability than others who seek it. Cerberus recruits humans with massive egos that underestimate their competition. And Shep will do what he needs to do to gain the forces required to beat the Reapers. I wish my squadmates could have come, but the adventure is worth attempting if you enjoy the ME universe and want to extend Shephard's tour.

Great DLC for Mass Effect 2 fans. Tells details about one of the most memorable locations of the 2 part. And as a character Aria T 'Loak still with 2 parts deserved much more attention. And the appearance of the first female character of the Turian surprised. Gameplay for 2-3 hours, to regret all missions consist of action, research minimum.

Reminiscent of Mass Effect 2. I would reccomend playing this as an engineer, but I can't say why without spoiling.
It's a very good DLC, although not nearly a 1 hour to 1 pound price ratio. It does, however, feel like a short game in its own right. If you enjoyed the combat of ME3 and the atmosphere of ME2, well, that's this DLC in a nutshell. 'Fight alongside Aria T'Loak and see her legendary biotic powers at work'. They certainly weren't lying. She's extremely powerful. And we finally get to see female turians! It has some VERY interesting moral choices, better than ME3 as a whole. Play it.
Oh yeah, and there's an interesting romance with Aria.

Good: Lots of hard gunfights
new teamates with good powers
new weapons are pretty good
female Turian
Bad: nothing from the normandy comes. So no party members on mention of the mission even existing
Story is simply dull and uninspired
boring side quest
lots of elevators and ladders
drab corridors and environments
Forgettable
Buy on sale or skip it.

Omega is an okay addition to the franchise's list of DLC, and is quite long, but it's length is due to long corridor shooter combat, with little story or choice. There are a couple of moments that are really good, and give you the *illusion* of choice, but for 1200 MSP, I just can't recommend it to many people.

Just meh.. Highlights: combat, spent time with Aria. Other than that, this DLC is just boring and wastes of time. It is such a shame, because Aria is so badass and the whole retake omega has so much potential to be good. Once again Bioware masterfully destroys an epic character and story, they really lost their mind.

Summary An unsteady alliance between Shepard and Aria initiates a deadly game of cat-and-mouse to wrest Omega from Cerberus’s control. Forced to rely on Aria’s special knowledge of the station and faced with her lust for revenge, how far will you go to retake Omega?
