10 More Video Game DLCs Better Than The Game

Well over a decade (!) removed from Mass Effect 3's release, most fans will surely admit that it's hardly a bad game, even if its lackluster ending did leave an understandably sour, even franchise-tainting taste in many players' mouths.

Thankfully the Citadel DLC - the game's very last DLC pack - released almost exactly a year later, offered up decidedly more gratifying closure for the story and characters inside a tight couple of hours.

Citadel revolves around the crew of the Normandy going on shore leave, whereby they must untangle a conspiracy against Commander Shepard. 

With its lower, more contained stakes - taking place before the climax of the third game - lighter tone and emphasis instead on character interactions, Citadel is basically the joyous Mass Effect finale that the threequel wasn't.

Nothing puts a bandage on poor storytelling quite like fan service, and in this case it was most certainly needed. The episode culminating in a party for the Normandy's crew surely quelled the rage of even the angriest of fans.
