The Mass Effect series was rife with excellent DLC, offering plenty of memorable missions and fleshing-out of existing characters. But Citadel was special, because it was almost certainly a response to fan complaints about the Mass Effect 3 ending, and gave us the sense of closure to the trilogy that we'd been pining for. The bulk of the DLC is a several-hour mission taking place in the Citadel, the central hub of the Mass Effect universe, taking you to previously unexplored areas of the impressive space-station metropolis. It's a decent mission, but what really makes it stand out is the return of some of the most-loved characters throughout the series, with the plot essentially being a convenient excuse to gather all the characters for one final hurrah. But the real pay-off comes at the end of the mission, when you get to hang out with all the surviving characters from across the Mass Effect series, engaging in sharply-written banter, farewell flings, and other activities including gambling, drinking, and furnishing Shepard's swanky pad. It's cheesy and goofy, but it's also a touching piece of fan service, letting players have that farewell with the whole Mass Effect crew that they always wanted. What game DLC were you actually totally satisfied by? Let us know in the comments!
