10 Video Game DLC Releases That Were Better Than The Original

4. Mass Effect 3: Citadel

While 90% of Mass Effect 3 was an incredible adventure worthy of being the final entry into one of gaming's greatest trilogies, the game is largely remembered for its incredibly disappointing ending which essentially negated everything that came before. Many thought that developer Bioware may use the game's DLC as a chance to redo the finale.

In some ways Citadel is that redo, but it's not the one most were expecting, being based around the idea that the surviving main characters of Mass Effect 3 have a weekend of shore leave while their ship is being fixed. While this inevitably leads to an action-fuelled adventure, much of this DLC is actually focused on giving us one more chance to spend time with the characters. In many ways, Citadel is the closest we're ever likely to come to a proper Firefly game, as the vast majority of the experience is watching beloved sci-fi shipmates trade hilarious dialogue with each other.

Citadel isn't your typical game ending, but this incredibly funny and genuinely entertaining final journey in the Mass Effect universe is in many ways one of the best franchise endings ever.
