Dragon Age: Origins Return to Ostagar DLC Review

Another review of BioWare’s troubled Return to Ostagar addon has reached the web, though I don’t think this one is going to convince anyone to buy it if they were already on the fence.  Game Critics goes with a 5.0/10, citing many of the same criticisms we read about in today’s earlier reviews:

As much as I enjoy Dragon Age, I can’t help but feel that this add-on could have been more. For $5.00, I got a few lines of dialogue, new weapons and armor, and about an hour’s worth of straightforward monster-killing. It’s not a terrible bargain and certainly not the outright robbery that some DLC can be at times, but Return to Ostagar can’t compare with the quality of The Stone Prisoner or Warden’s Keep DLC missions. Of course, the price point of Ostagar is lower than either of those and I’m glad for that, but then again, I guess you do get what you pay for…

Given the conclusion these reviews are coming to, the DLC’s “unexpected” release on Xbox Live is most likely going to negatively impact overall sales. What a shame.
