And that's where the real purpose of the Leviathan DLC rests. Unfortunately, those hoping for extensive mech combat against great underwater beasts are again in for some disappointment, since the depths of the water-world's.water hold not massive enemies, but great secrets. The most intriguing proposed gameplay that was prominently featured in the DLC's marketing was Shepard's first underwater adventure, sending the player to the crushing blackness of the ocean as opposed to the vacuum of space. Whether the complete lack of real difficulty in dispatching wave after wave of Brutes and Cannibals in our case is representative of everyone's experience can't be known, but if any fans were hoping Leviathan would be upping the difficulty or challenge, don't count on it. For one thing, the DLC proved a popular theory among us here at Game Rant that given our time with ME3's multiplayer, our approach to the campaign might be vastly different a second time around.

Since the moment-to-moment combat of ME3 was the best the series had seen, that in itself isn't condemnation. No new enemy types, no new enemy tactics, and familiar chest-high-wall populated facilities and installations generally provide more of the same. Stepping back into Shepard's boots will be a welcome proposition for many players who have yet to play the game since completing it months ago but for those who have completed the singleplayer campaign more recently, or have been keeping active in the multiplayer portion of the game, the action contained in Leviathan is somewhat likely to disappoint.
Whether it's scaling a cliff-side facility in the midst of collapse, repelling enemies on a rain-swept vessel in the middle of the ocean, or just some good old-fashioned Cannibal shooting range, the actual combat arenas and pacing (wave after wave of enemies) will be extremely familiar to every player. The extra content is structured around three separate combat missions, with each offering a somewhat new twist. The only question is whether the secret is worth the chase, or more importantly, the price tag.Ĭonsidering the fallout that Mass Effect 3 experienced when its endings were deemed 'unsatisfying' by a vocal portion of players - and the Extended endings appeased some - we'll assume that those who are seriously considering picking up the DLC found enough of the game's mechanics and gameplay entertaining enough for a return trip. That is to say, if the combat and traversal in Mass Effect 3's existing campaign wasn't enjoyable, then Leviathan certainly won't be either. All this is done in the name of discovering the history of the Reapers, and the Leviathan's place in that lost account. To get to the bottom of the mystery surrounding the eponymous being, Shepard will need to take on old foes in new settings, travel to the game's first fully water-logged world, and live through a claustrophobic nightmare. Promising to send Shepard across the galaxy and into the depths of the ocean to uncover a lost secret, the Mass Effect 3 Leviathan DLC is now available for all platforms. It's been a long time coming, but the first chance to see what BioWare has planned to extend the life of Mass Effect 3 via single player downloadable content is here.
