Cheat Code Central, 3.5/5.
Dragon Age II: Legacy isn't going to convince anybody who strongly disliked Dragon Age II to come back to the fold, but it shows improvement in terms of level and encounter design from the original game. The vignettes with various companions especially Hawke's sibling add nicely to the overall game's story, and it's nice to see the battle and dungeon layout improvements provided by Legacy's development team. It's a solid, albeit short, DLC addition that bodes well for any planned expansions to Dragon Age II.
Just Push Start, 3.5/5.
Dragon Age 2: Legacy is an awesome DLC that fans of the series will love. You get a great new stroy that fills you in on the Hawke Lineage as well as some new weapons and armor pieces to help you slay the various new foes you will encounter. While the DLC is very linear it does offer a 2-3 hour story that players will love from beginning to end.
PC PowerPlay Magazine, 9/10.
In this writer's opinion, for what it's worth, Dragon Age II: Legacy should be immortalised as an exercise in communication, showing how passion (hopefully the more eloquent and useful) can influence a developer's vision and guide design back to a more common ground. The careful observer will be able to discern a shift from, (We know what you'll like,) to (What do you like?) in this twelve dollar toe-print, at the very least.
Nave360, 8.5/10.
For the first DLC of a game which got mixed responses, Bioware has done well. With a good length, some very nice changes, some nice puzzles and hardly any reused locations (almost everything feels new), this DLC is worth its 800 MSP/$9.99 price. However, the DLC might have gotten a higher score from me if they had made the story a little more understandable.
