Individual review for the original game is available on my profile. This is a review of this specific DLC.
Honestly holds up better then I expected. Omega seems like a weird detour at first, and it kind of is - it's really self-contained and mostly exists as a vehicle for a fan favourite character - but man, as a stand alone story it's actually really fun and inventive. The Omega station was already one of the best hubs in the series and now seeing it from the perspective of it's liberator changes the feel of the station as well as your relationship to it.
Helps that it's got just really great character work. The villain is wonderful dastardly, Aria is a joy, and new character Nyreen is a highlight as the first female turian in the series. It's mostly a glorified side story, but as side stories go it's among the franchise's most thrilling and engaging. Love it!
