Summary: Play it, you won't regret it.

Easily hits the level of depth, atmosphere, and story that we all fell in love with in Overlord and Lair of the Shadow Broker.  The squad members all have full voice work done, much in the vein of Dragon Age 2 DLC, including dialogue between missions back on the Normandy.  The level of emotional depth is a bit shallow (for me at least) despite certain scenes attempting to tug at your heart strings, but I would recommend bringing your LI along for the ride on each of the missions, if only the final one, if emotion is what you're looking for.

Added:
War Assets
5 New Mods
2 Weapons (1 pre-order bonus & 1 pc exclusive pre-order bonus)
1 New Bonus Power
1 Fun New Cabin Decoration

Edit: Forgot to include the souvenier :D


this sound good but when you say emotional do you mean dark and depressing cos theres enogh of that already in ME3


No, I meant more along the lines of empathetic sadness or emotional attatchment to characters, LOTSB could do this because it had Liara, Overlord was really the only DLC I've seen that made me tear up at the end of it for a completely new character I had only known for about 2 hours.

Sadly, while it may try, Leviathan doesn't manage to hit this emotional depth.

I haven't yet re-done the ending to see what new dialogue there is, but having seen the script snippets that were leaked a while ago it doesn't seem like there's too much thats new. As a self-contained DLC it was good. Not quite LotSB, but I'd rate it alongside Overlord and Kasumi, both of which I thoroughly enjoyed. Just under £10 for ~3 hours of gameplay, with some replay value in that you'll have to play it twice with the same character (i.e. play it once then play it again taking that same character through NG+) to unlock the top levels of the new weapon mods, and to see different dialogue options, but you don't really make any choices so replay value is limited.


Just an FYI, haven't attempted it yet, but you can find up to level 3, then buy at least the 4th level, if not the 5th like most other weapon mods in the game.

Where from?

I know you can buy weapon upgrades from the Normandy, but as far as I knew you could only buy weapon mods from shops, or from the shop terminal on the Normandy.

I'm curious: What's this "fun cabin decoration"? I didn't notice any change in the cabin after finishing.

A severed head

So you can go back to Dr. Brynn's lab and grab stuff?

I didn't actually try to go back to the Citadel when I finished. I just saved and quit.

Edit: Forgot to include the souvenier :D


Approximate length start to finish?

Average run through would probably be 2-2.5 hours, mine was 3 but i was running around attempting to find everything.

You can't go back, like someone posted above during James scene keep talking to him and you get it eventually .

They are just in some of the citadel shops, newly added to the store's list.  You have to recheck after purchasing the 4th level, as then the 5th level pops up, usually in a different store, possibly one you've already checked.

Can you save between various points along this adventure? I'll be loading in just before Cerberus HQ, but am not sure if I've got the time tonight to finish the whole adventure up in one hit.

Overlord was a good DLC and I did feel for david I think thats his name and his cameo was one of the more touching moments in the game.
