Finally. Having gotten closer and closer with each subsequent piece of downloadable content, with Lair of the Shadow Broker BioWare has delivered Mass Effect 2 players some DLC that, if youâve finished the game, has some real point to it.
With the exception of the recent Overlord pack, most pieces of ME2 downloadable content have been tailored more towards new or repeat players, with little incentive for those who have finished the game and put it to bed to return to the Normandy for a post-storyline mission.

Loved
Canon! â Previous DLC packs have felt tacked on, not really fitting into the larger adventures youâve been taking part in. This one, however, fits snugly within the established story and events of both Mass Effect games.
Settle In â Lair is not only the longest piece of DLC thus far, taking me around two hours to finish, itâs also the most interesting, spanning a variety of unique locations. I could have spent all day wandering around the finaleâs maps.
Step On It, Shepard! â Thereâs a car chase. A flying car chase, through the skyscrapers of Illium. Itâs short, and simple, but itâs also great fun.
If, like me, youâve been slightly disappointed with Mass Effect 2âs DLC to date, donât tar Lair of the Shadow Broker with the same brush. It fits into the larger storyline, has a lasting impact on two primary characters and with plenty to do and see in two hours is even good value for money.
Just donât expect to do much chit-chat or puzzle solving. This oneâs all about shooting things.
