Making this a quick and easy to read addition to the Deus Ex review, the DLC was good.
They start the story by taking away all of your Praxis points, but then give you back a bunch soon after. I felt a little cheated by this because I had a ridiculous amount of Praxis points by the time the DLC happens in the main story. AKA: We've replaced your level 20 character with a new level 8 character. =(
They did a good job with the layouts, stealth, and hacking. For some reason, I didn't realize you could drag a guards body over to a laser grid to disable it, just like it does for them as they walk by. This makes sneaking into some places much easier!
I was greatly confused with where the DLC was. It turns out it's a separate game on Steam you have to download. That was confusing.
Also, after playing through more of the same, I will say that the voice acting was still good, but the character animations during dialogs can feel a bit animatronic. Maybe there was a limit on the number of animation gestures they had?
Overall I greatly enjoyed the DLC. I beat it in around 7 hours, and basically in one sitting. I couldn't put it down.
Oh, and I got 9/10 achievements! Because one of the achievements is just insane... I was actually aiming for that achievement when I started until I realized it also requires not spending any Praxis points. Yeah, screw that!
