User blog comment:AnotherRho/Opinions about Overlord DLC?/@comment-2088100-20101105001616

I'll put it this way: Prior to LotSB, Overlord was the best piece of DLC for ME2. In my humble opinion, of course.

I think the Hammerhead portion was better-done than it was with Firewalker, but that's not saying much. It still suffers in combat, which is unfortunate. Luckily, the Hammerhead won't eat up the majority of your time in the DLC; most of the story (and therefore action) takes place on foot. The penultimate battle is a neat change of pace and visual style as well, and has interesting implications for Shepard's future. The final battle was ok, but it seemed pretty easy to me. They did a good job instilling a sense of urgency to the battle though.

Oh yeah, the soundtrack is awesome too. It was my favorite combat music in the game until LotSB.

Not much too it in the way of rewards for having completed it, other than a heavy skin weave and some XP, but I didn't care. The plot and combat were rewarding in and of themselves. One minor niggle: your squad mates have absolutely no dialog in the DLC, as was the case with LotSB. It's somewhat annoying when your squadmates are mute as you uh... 'transition' into the last area of the DLC, but I forgot about it rather quickly.

All in all, worth the funbux to get it.
