In addition to being the last piece of single-player DLC for the series, Citadel is the most humorous. That's when the tone of this story takes a dramatic shift to the comedic.Ĭitadel includes a few sneaking portions that help break up the action. The memories come when you're back at your fancy, new apartment planning for one massive party with the entire crew. The combat is just a vehicle to get the band back together and reconnect atop the corpses of your enemies. The quest to stop these anti-Shepard militants is both challenging and humorous, with a surprise twist straight out of a cheesy sci-fi movie, but that won't be what you remember from this DLC. Soon you find yourself fighting side by side by side with your entire team in unison, all of whom are hurling insults and exchanging friendly banter among the carnage. After the corporation makes an assassination attempt on Shepard, friends from past and present Mass Effect games descend upon it. It employs a few new tricks, such as shield-detonating kamikaze drones and cluster grenades, but mostly it just gets mocked-mercilessly-by you and your squadmates. This new threat is a private military corporation that is, frankly, a less-capable version of Cerberus. Once that is resolved, the second half is strictly person-to-person (or person-to-alien) interactions. The first half deals with Shepard overcoming a dangerous new threat while on shore leave. In fact, you could almost draw a line down the center of this release. That's not to say this hefty, four-gigabyte update won't offer plenty of combat.
