She then attempts to draw Shepard’s attention by reciting advertisements that include obvious messages about recruiting her. The initial approach is cleverly crafted with an enjoyable comedic flare as Kasumi hacks an advertisement terminal on the Citadel.
Over the course of two in-game missions, Shepard, the protagonist, meets up with a master thief contracted by Cerberus and helps her with a personal mission before she joins the crew. The narrative flow and direction are, as in all Mass Effect games, not only very well executed but also the primary selling point.
The backdrop for the action is the mansion and vault owned by ruthless inter-planetary criminal Donovan Hock, and it is gorgeous to look at the whole way through. The LookĪ significant attention to detail was involved when creating this DLC which means that, like the story, it is indistinguishable from the wider game, allowing for a seamless transition into and out of the missions. Unlike with DLCs for other cover shooters such as the Gears of War series the Uncharted series, players are provided with more than just a few cool gear addons or an unrelated short campaign they are instead treated to missions that not only flesh out the game world but also help develop the protagonist the players are invested in, which is something I really enjoyed. Instead, the subtle application of skills the players have already learned to a new and unique scenario, allows Stolen Memory to be played seamlessly at any time during an ordinary Mass Effect 2 playthrough.Īdditionally, the DLC provides Kasumi as a new companion, a new weapon in the form of a M-12 Locust, a new location, the Boltzmann system on the Serpent Nebula (which can be visited even after the DLC is completed), and a new casual outfit for Shepard. There are no new mechanics to learn or strikingly different enemies to fight but given the format of the DLC, this is not a downside at all.
