Dragon Age: Origins The Darkspawn Chronicles DLC Review

IGN has stepped up to the plate with their own review of The Darkspawn Chronicles, in which they hand out a “passable” score of 6.5/10 to the newly released Dragon Age: Origins DLC.

Being able to play as the bad guy is always a neat idea, especially when you get to massacre major characters you may have spent over 100 hours questing with in Dragon Age: Origins. While a few of the Darkspawn, the Ogre and Shriek, are fun to play around with, the short length, lack of customization options, and absence of any real character interaction make this bit of content too straightforward to be especially memorable. The novelty of the concept and small asking price make it an attractive option, but like a limited-run fast food sandwich, it doesn’t satisfy like it should.
