Her impish delight in her profession draws you in, but there’s a streak of sentimentality in her, too. Kasumi’s a sign that things might be getting slightly better. The natives of Terra came off as the most boring species you’d encounter in ME1 and ME2 didn’t do a whole lot to change that. Mass Effect’s had a human problem that goes back the first game. She’s a master thief recruited to join Shepard’s universe-saving mission but players will need to gain her loyalty first. So, one way of evaluating the new content is looking at the character of Kasumi herself. In this instance, you’re essentially paying for a new personality to interact with. Here, you get similar things: a new weapon, new research to improve existing attributes and a new achievement. Usually, with DLC, you’re paying for new maps, weapons, vehicles or abilities. Of course, those expectations are also different because the Kasumi DLC costs about seven bucks where the Firewalker pack was free. The Mass Effect games stand out for their approach to story and character, so the new Kasumi – Stolen Memory pack has a different set of expectations.
So, unless the DLC outright breaks the game, not a lot will change how you feel. Anything that comes after is meant to feed the larger whole. In Mass Effect 2, you already have an experience you either like or don’t like. When I reviewed the free Firewalker pack, I found it to be a fun vehicular addition to the ME2 experience. That brings up a question: how do you evaluate DLC for a game like it? I’m not talking about whether it’s objectively good or bad.
