Not bad but wished it was a bigger expansion
The new DLC Bring for Mass Effect called "Bring down the sky" is nothing exciting. Bring Down the Sky includes a new uncharted world that introduces the notorious and feared alien race of the Batarians. A Batarian extremist group has hijacked a mobile asteroid station in the Asgard system, setting it on a collision course with the nearby colony world of Terra Nova. Only Commander Shepard can save the millions of innocent civilians before the asteroid completes its deadly descent.

First you need to acquire the Normandy which can take a while. When you finally can leave the Citadel and go to the galaxy map you will see that the Exodus Cluster has a mission. The mission is basically the same as all the other side missions for Mass Effect but lasts longer and there’s a bit of change. There are 3 space dungeons which are like the mercenary bases seen in other side missions but the layout of each one is different but it’s not a big change.

There’s a decent amount of dialogue in the DLC where you talk to Batarians and Humans. You will also find out a bit more on the history of the galaxy i.e. in this case the Batarians. There are choices to be made in the DLC which can result in death or a 2nd option. The most impressive part is when you fight the Batarian leader at the end of the mission. It takes place in brand new geometry. The fight occurs in a huge well design room where a epic battle occurs. The enemies that are found include Heavy Turrents, Vassels, Drones, Batarian engineers and soldiers.

The ending does suggest there will be more DLC to come.
