One of the two character DLCs for Mass Effect 2, Stolen Memory adds master thief Kasumi to your party. Kasumi is a pleasant change to the dour crew of the Normandy, offering lots of light-hearted banter, although her skillset makes her a bit too narrow to be of consistent use during the game.
The bulk of the DLC is based around her loyalty mission, a heist in which Shepard joins her in infiltrating a party held by a criminal overlord to steal a greybox important to her. The first half of the mission is fantastic, with strong worldbuilding for the preening criminal underbelly of the galactic centre, but once the combat starts it gets a bit grindy.
