Like Zaeed, DLC character Kasumi really doesn't measure up to Mass Effect 2's other party members.

Her backstory is a little more nuanced, although it doesn't really bear fruit until the next game. And her loyalty mission is a little more engaging, although still not as exciting as a "rich party heist" feels like it could've been.

But crucially, Kasumi's conversations with Shepard are mostly one-sided, and her story includes only a couple minutes' worth of character development.

For a "master thief," Kasumi is pretty boring.

Better than: Mass Effect 2: Zaeed - The Price of Revenge
Not as good as: Batman: Arkham Origins - Cold, Cold Heart
I'd still push Zaeed out the airlock first: but if I had to sacrifice two crew members...

Rating: Meh
