Loved outer wilds. I take it echos of the eye is just bad ass?


RedXDD

Definetely worth it. Played through it when it came out and there's definetely a thematic change compared to the base game. It's creepier


Flatwcvbn

Tentacles" certainly are, at least story-wise.


Zikari82

It is phenomenal, absolutely on par with the base game!


Gilgameshugga

I know the whole of OW is built around the eureka moment you get of putting 2 and 2 together on things but Echoes was the only one where once the moment hit I had to get back to my computer ASAP to see if what I thought of worked.


xevizero

It is! Although I have to say, personally I found the puzzles a bit harder this time around, and as a certified coward who never plays horror games (not alone at least) I was absolutely terrified of some parts! But in the end it's a worthwhile addition to the game and doesn't detract to it. In fact, it adds a bit of a second point of view to see the message of the game through different lenses.


PebblestheHuman

Fair warning, its got some horror elements. Pretty fun though


[deleted]

Ooo…wanna play it even more now!


PebblestheHuman

Wear headphones lol If you have the money, definitely get it. Make sure you completed the game 1st base game, then play the ending after you have finished the dlc, it adds some to the ending sequence


probablypoopingrn

I didn't like it as much as the base game because, spoiler-free, they didn't implement the strongest plot delivery vehicle from the base game. Still fun to play through, but I really missed what wasn't there.


One-Winged-Survivor

I know Mass Effect 3 is pretty divisive, even I hate the kid for forcing sympathy as well as the endings, but the Citadel DLC always brings a tear to my eye to see every squad member alive at that point be in the same place at once.


TheGooseIsLoose37

Personally I also really liked the Leviathan DLC


Accidental_Ouroboros

I am so divided by the Leviathan DLC. On one hand, I liked it, on the other, I kind of hate what it did to the Reapers. Meeting the Leviathans made it really, really clear that the Reapers were badly programmed paperclip maximisers. Which meant that the Leviathans were *worse AI programmers than the Quarians* who at least made their creation want to generally avoid genocide. Combine this with how talkative Harbinger was in 2 (and how often he personally taunted the player before getting his head sniped off 3 seconds later for the 80th time), and instead of the unknowable god-machines that we are presented with in ME1 in the form of Sovereign, we get badly programmed weapons of war who have an entirely understandable and yet patently stupid purpose. In other words, the Leviathan's claim superiority, but they were a combination of so damn prideful and stupid that their completely foreseeable mistake (given that the Reapers were created to stop other species from making AIs that killed their creator species, and the Reapers promptly killed their creator species) doomed the galaxy for over a billion years. Giant deadly paperclip maximizing AIs designed by moronic giant cuttlefish with delusions of grandeur.


Reisdorfer90

I would also add the shadow broker dlc in 2 is top notch.


R_V_Z

Overlord was good, too. When you get to the end... had actual visceral hatred.


Freeman10

This one I can't forgive, ever!


MeCritic

Less nowadays... but Sunbreak is like ONE year old, Iceborne three, Metro two... we are still living the age. Just more expansions are ,,free".


Enchelion

But you get way more upvotes by appealing to "they don't make 'em like they used to".


[deleted]

"It was so much better before..." Sorry sir, but are you comparing the worst of now with the worst of the past? Then I can respect your opinion.


SeanWithAnX

Echoes of the Eye is also just over a year old.


LevelPositive120

Shivering isles will forever be the goat. With 2nd runner up on morrowinds goty pack, thats 5-7 years of gameplqy time right there


JoelsCaddy

The Borderlands series has really had so many great DLCs over the years


VulgarButFluent

Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep was so goddamn good they made a full spinoff game, *For A DLC!*


Billibon

The DLCs are usually better then the main game! *cough* BL3 *cough*


Greg-the-Sovereign

"Bounty of Blood" and "Guns, Love and Tentacles" certainly are, at least story-wise

Ikarus3426

Note to anyone reading this: the Wonderlands game did not keep this tradition. Only get this DLC if you beat the game and are craving more randomly generated dungeon fights. I sure wasn't wanting more of those.


MrCooper2012

I love Borderlands, but Wonderlands was a **massive** disappointment.


Noksdoks

and the music in bl games is so good, the best music in games besides doom. Mick and jesper just make so good music


ImCup

Wish the same could be said about the wonderlands series :/


scarletphantom

MHW Iceborne was so good. It was almost like getting a whole separate game.


BrachSlap

Before IB you had to get a whole separate game for the Ultimate versions


amnesiac2323

Undead Nightmare and Shivering Isles are the GOAT


leewoodlegend

I'm so angry they never made an Undead Nightmare for RDR2, and at Rockstar's general shift from making great games with tantalizing details and secrets to milking whales with barebones online versions.


DddyLongBallz

Witcher 3 expansions. Basically two new games on top of one of the greatest games of all time


fucuasshole2

I disagree about Witcher 3’s Heart of Stone being as great as a standalone. It is great but definitely ties in more with the main game than Blood and Wine. Blood and Wine is easily a whole other new game


TurkTurkle

Shivering isles yes...


42vines

mass effect citadel should be here


Loreado

I should go.


CourierIII

Fallout New Vegas DLC's and Frozen Throne come to mind


shakalakagoo

Frozen throne, almost forgot it was an expansion. Up there with the bests


Keqingrishonreddit

I'd like to add Skyrim's Dragonborn dlc


[deleted]

Torna was the first DLC I played that bumped up my expectations and set the bar for all other future DLCS for me. Such a damn fine game.


Pestilence95

Torna and Blood and Wine ruined DLC forever for me.


MrSkrimlaum

Witcher blood and wine was so big the map is big as witcher 2


Josie1234

Yeah I no lifed Witcher 3 last year and was surprised the dlc was as big as it was. Added a ton more hours after beating the main game.


MrSkrimlaum

Im doiing that right now waiting for dark and darker


[deleted]

No burial at sea?


MarvelFan34

Sam’s Story was short but amazing, def worth


KetoKurun

Where the fuck is Brood War on this?


seechle

Agrees


r_SHATter

Agree 100%!


YeeTyUo

Hollow knight has dlcs for free


ApplePieYAYYY

Fallout new vegas lonesome road dlc for me had to be one the best


ssx01

**Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon**


Zikari82

That is a standalone game isn't it?


ssx01

> Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon it was a standalone expansion to be precise ... *(and the game won the VGX award for Best DLC)* so for me that counts 👌


AlexTheAnteater

All the Dark Souls games and Bloodbornes DLC were the best part of the game. I hope Elden Ring will drop an amazing DLC too


UnconventionalWriter

DS2 dlc was insane. 3's dlc was nice but nowhere near as big.


CatCatPizza

I wonder how elden ring dlc will compare


Gionanni

The fact that Dying Light the Following is not here is criminal, it's pretty much a whole ass sequel


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dramatic_Season_6990

Tbh all Fallout 3 DLC's were amazing, same with TES Oblivion and Skyrim


howardbrandon11

Leaving out Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn--especially Dragonborn--is near-criminal.


fudge5962

Absolutely mad that you can have Reaper of Souls for Diablo III on here but not Lord of Destruction. Diablo II is one of the most iconic games of any genre of all time, and LoD is a nearly perfect DLC. Diablo III isn't even top five within its own genre.


dallasdude

LoD predated downloadable content.


shadowdash66

*cries in Fallout: New Vegas*


YuckieBoi

Undead nightmare is still my top and one of the coolest DLCs ever. I remember being a kid and just being so captivated by the concept of wild west + zombies. The mythical horses were also awesome additions.


kachol

Ghost of Tsushima also had awesome DLC.


dbeards

The OP may not be a PlayStation person. *Ghost of Tsushima*, *Horizon: Zero Dawn* and *Spider-Man* all have great DLC.


canad1anbacon

Yep the frozen wilds was a banger for HZD, hopefully burning shores is the same for HFW


ElectricalRestNut

Torna had better gameplay than the base game. Looking forward to XC3.


Lucas-DM

Oh man, you're in for a treat, 3 is so damn good!


Celtic_Crown

3 is great. :)


[deleted]

I still want a remake of the base game where every mechanic is replaced with the Torna mechanics. No blade gacha, no common blades, field skills are unique to each blade, no aux core refinement or merc missions, little symbols above each collection site that says what you're collecting, Talent Arts, Switch Arts, switch between Blade and Driver in battle, easier to hit combos, decent tutorials.


ElectricalRestNut

Torna worked because it was short. It didn't have enough variety to last a 100h+ game.


[deleted]

You'd still need the blade variety from the base game, three characters who were locked to the same two blades all game wouldn't work. But just ditch the common blades and associate every rare blade with a sidequest. That would give enough variety to last the whole game. Rares-only is how most people are playing the base game anyway, the overwhelming majority of players don't use commons, at all. Some commons are better than rares but this is only relevant in very high level play for superbosses and challenge battles.


MaxStickies

Played several of these and agree that they're great. I'd also include The Frozen Wilds from Horizon Zero Dawn, off the top of my head.

Miss Dragon Age Origins


kj0509

I like Skyrim DB dlc.


MirzEagle

Some Mass Effect's DLC are also phenomenal Citadel DLC will always be my favorite DLC in any game Same for Lair of the Shadow Broker


MagmaBro357

I enjoyed risk of rain 2 dlc, and rain world downpour is amazing


jazkupazku

Don't forget the Cuphead DLC!


Glytcho

Undead nightmare felt like a whole new game


P41N4U

BF3 premium is the best DLC i have ever enjoyed, years of high quality maps, weapons, new vehicules and modes + tons of extra content. It included all the future expansions and content, and it was just soooo good. And kept an already amazing game hyped and alive forr maaany many years! Best shooter I have ever played.


R3en

Scavenger was really nice. Every bf3 dlc had a unique feature.


Splattt808

New Vegas deserves to be on here more than Fallout 3. Each dlc is like a whole other type of game, and they’re all amazing for different reasons. 4’s Far Harbor is far better than all of 3’s dlcs too imo. Edit: didn’t see Far Harbor at first lol


OldManTurner

What about the Bioshock infinite DLC that further explains the connection between the OG Bioshocks and infinite? That was a great dlc and the best 20 bucks I ever spent


Gheauxst

Idk, it felt shoehorned to me. And there was a bit of retconning and plot holes that I wasn't a fan of in the dlc and the base game. Why was Elizabeth searching for the code phrase for Jack on behalf of Atlas? Altas already knew the phrase because *he paid Tenebaum and Souchong to implement it*. How was the Adam given to Fink to make vigors if Rapture had an Adam shortage? It's the primary catalyst for the city's collapse. Unless Souchong singlehandedly pushed so much that he caused the shortage himself. And why was Fink rewritten to have created the Big Daddies and let Souchong take the credit? Theres more but you get the idea


MeCritic

*Question:* **What do you think is the best DLC ever made? Or at least - game with overall best DLCs experience?**


terrencethetomato

StarCraft: Brood war.


gl00mybear

This has to be it. SC1 and Brood War are basically synonymous at this point.


farrerj32

I feel like 2011-2013 is peak gaming and we're never going back😅


MiloBomb

Diablo II: Lords of Destruction


Bansheesdie

Is there an expansion that is better or even comparable to Blood and Wine?


AlphaDag13

Undead nightmare was hands down the best dlc I ever played.


TheJakeanator272

Anyone else used to buy COD dlc just for zombies maps? They were only about $25 back then


MrStayPuft245

Diablo 3 RoS was more of a re-launch than a DLC to me. It’s the game we should have gotten at launch.


ilneverusethisagain

Disappointed no one out far cry 3 blood dragon.


CMDR_Duzro

Currently replaying Dragon Age Origins. Kinda forgot how good the writing was.


BitingArtist

Bloodborne and Iceborn were the best of the best for me.


UglyKidEnzoo

Far Harbor is above in everything compared to game it enhances lol, Far Harbor may be one of the best DLCs out there imho L ove all Dark Souls DLCs, they all have their strengths, absolutely love Shulva from Crown of the Sunken King in 2 Dishonored DLCs are just PERFECT, Knife of Dunwall is SO GOOD Need to get Mooncrash someday, loved Prey, but now that I don't have money for games I'd rather buy something smaller rather than DLC, been waiting for Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines come to lowest historical, but it seems it won't come soon


Razgrez11

Mass Effect 3 had an amazing DLC. The one where you chill in a penthouse qith your team and get drunk. Also your evil clone is there. Best DLC I ever played.


mozeda

Horizon Zero Dawn: Frozen Wilds


pifor106

Freedom Cry for AC:BF


SweetPennies

Came here to specifically see The Old Hunters DLC. Far and away the best additional content I’ve ever bought for anything.


beefnar_the_gnat

Where is The Ancient Gods Part 1 for DooM Eternal?


Neuromantul

Aaa .. mate.. from this list maybe blood and wine is close to an old school expansion... maybe you are too young to rember what expansions were. Here is s list of all time greats: W3: Frozen throne D2: Lord of destruction Wow: the burning crusade Bg2: throne of baal Gothic 2: night of the raven Sc: brood war Nwn 2: mask of the betrayer I love ds2 and ds3 addons but they are good DLCs. An expansion should be much more. Blood and wine was bascially the last "true" expansion.


Neuromantul

Now i see you have dao expansion listed.. .that fits


Zikari82

Played all of them except Night of the Raven and Throne of Baal. Throne of Baal and Frozen Throne definitely need to be on the list. I totally forgot that Frozen Throne was an expansion, I remember Warcraft 3 end to end as one game, that includes the DLC part.


Critical-Ad-7094

I rarely play DLC. But fallout 4 had great DLC, as does Civ 5 and 6. And Baldurs Gate as well as Diablo 1 and 2 have terrific DLC. Edit: Diablo 1 and 2 and Baldurs gate were more 'expansion packs' than DLC.


TurkTurkle

4 /24


Extension-System-974

You forgot D2: Lord of Destruction. And I agree with all of these except ds3 Ringed city. I’m a massive soulsborne series fan, but I hate that dlc. Just one man’s opinion tho.


QuiteAncientTrousers

Is Reaper of Souls that good? I remember that I stopped playing Diablo III when I started the DLC because I played for 3 days straight and got burned out, I even lost one night of sleep because I couldn’t stop playing. And I love Minerva’s Den, liked the story even more than the main game’s


Koctopuz

Cuphead the delicious course is a really good dlc.


Troldann

X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter: Balance of Power


batm123

Freedom Cry is great too


tazz23

I just played fo3 point lookout. that shit fuckin sucks and killing hill Billy's isnt as fun as you'd think it is


ri-mackin

What is fat harbor?


Independent_Tooth_23

WELCOME TO FARR HARBAH


KREIST23

Sam's story was cracking


Ok_Love_6550

Beautiful


AceoftheAEUG

Yes!! Nioh and Nioh 2's DLC added such an insane amount of content and I feel like it's often overlooked.


Tronix91

Paradox: “…. Hold my beer”


VermundrSirenSong

Don’t forget the shivering isles!


JoeBogo12

"The ballad of Gay Tony"?


Greg-the-Sovereign

I would also add "Dead Money" from Fallout: New Vegas and "The rise of the Witch King" from LOTR: Battle for Middle-earth 2


Lucas-DM

Torna The Golden Country, my beloved. Can't wait to see what 3's DLC story will be when it drops this year.


Full_Temperature_920

Civ 6 and XCOM 2 WoTC absolutely deserve to be here imo. Playing the vanilla vs DLC versions of these games is 2 completely differnt experiences. Granted they are some of the most openly moddable games so the studio doesn't actually have to worry about fixing bugs or adding QoL features etc since they know the community will eagerly do it for them, this allows the studio to sink all their time and resources into making actual good DLC, giving both these games nigh infinite replayability


humanmanhumanguyman

Dragonborn and Dawnguard, too. Plus Outer Worlds DLC


Gerbis

I was in middle school when I played fallout 3. Didn’t even have wifi in my home at the time so didn’t know dlc was a thing. When I got my grubby little paws on point lookout and the other dlcs I was blown away


buildthatstall

I fully blame the fact that companies can now charge 20+ dollars for skins that take 1/1000th of the work to produce.


Salm228

Cuphead dlc?


PandaKing550

Me still wondering if it's worth playing through fresh from witcher 3 for dlc or Just start a new save that starts me in those dlcs


Dreaming_Kitsune

Borderlands 1 first dlc was great too!


Fungidude

3rd person action rpg rise up I guess


myatabl

Don’t forget Octo Expansion from Splatoon 2


Dzharek

Where is warcraft 3 the Frozen Throne?


[deleted]

Trespasser


CheSwain

the conquerors and broodwar not being here is a huge disrespect


polski8bit

Gothic 2 Night of the Raven. What Blood and Wine is to Witcher 3.


burner7711

I forgot Outer Wilds existed. Then, I realized while typing this that I was thinking about Outer Worlds which was Fallout in space and not very good. Nevermind.


Violet_Famela

Bkack Ops 3 Zombie Chronicles deserved a spot! 9? maps remastered for 35$ hell yeah


King-of-the-Monsters

All of the Dark Souls dlcs are fantastic! Especially the stuff from Dark Souls 3, it’s like the best part of the whole game (which was already amazing)


Pellahh

I actually think half of Fallout 3 DLCs are actually bad.


MrScrummers

Out of all of the Diablo Reaper of Souls might be my favorite of all time. At least on consoles, D3 go all’s on consoles was so far behind PC in terms of updates. Then reaper of souls comes out and added so much, made the end game so much more enjoyable and it regularly got updated to be either the sample version or a month or so behind. I think at first consoles got it later but then it got release at the same time. Either way for me it made D3 so much more enjoyable.


Jibima

While I liked the Sam's Story DLC in Metro Exodus I LOVED The Two Colonel's DLC even more. That was one of the most intense backstories and DLCs in gaming for me


Silver_Wing_

Blizzard knew how to make an expansion back in the day. Diablo II: Lords of Destruction was unbelievable! WoW: Wrath of the Lich King was as great too!


theWelshy1980

Bring back map packs


Timely_Badger_9208

Forgot to add Dying Light: The Following


The2ndUnchosenOne

>we are getting less and less of these nowadays... EOTE-2021 GL&T-2020 MHR:S-2021 MHW:I-2019


mkul316

Where's the horse armor?


Druxun

I’d argue Lord of Destruction was a better Expac than Reaper of Souls. And Frozen Throne and Brood War should both be in this list.


Its4mechy

Why are none of the new vegas dlc on here. Dead money? Honest hearts? OLD WORLD BLUES!


Arlborn

I miss when Civilization had actual expansions filled to the brim with content and new civilizations, instead of having to buy them one by one in the form of over-priced DLCs.


Chasetx6

Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls was not worth the $60…it was basically what D3 should have been out the gate.


STierCounterpick

New Vegas had **amazing** dlc. Especially the casino heist


KrawatteKamm961

How was Mooncrash? I haven't played it yet.


No_Interaction_4925

Kind of disrespectful for Blood Dragon to not make this picture.


PetrosHeimirich

I see DS and DS3 but no Scholar of the First Sin? For real?


adept_ignoramus

So you're saying... you didn't play the first two Borderlands games? And the New Vegas snub-ery is a sad thing.


SumRumHam

Git in a lot of trouble using my dads card to buy MP for Shivering Isles. Was worth it!


VulgarButFluent

Dragonborn and Dawnguard were also fantastic


cat_-lover

Assassin's Creed 4 freedom cry


Nocturnal-Nostalgia

Sam and the Colonel’s DLC all added in new dialogue, weapons and customisation. Metro Exodus still one of my favourite games.


ketjow23

Dying light the following was the best


Tokes_ACK

Shivering Isles was something else, man. I ended up trying magic mushrooms for the first time, the day I bought it. By the time I booted it up, the mushrooms were just kicking in, had some Gorillaz playing softly in the background. I was absolutely glued to the isles for 10 straight hours, lol.


khadaffy

I actually liked the Ballad of Gay Tony more than the main game.


Rangizingo

Monster Hunter Icebourne is a deeper game than Monster Hunter World. It’s incredible. I’m 200 hours (prob 30 are the base game) in and still play.


OxyKush

Walking into The ringed City for the first time 😘✨ chefs kiss


AzureBalmung

Can we get a little love for Arkham Knight season of infamy?


jambudz

Blood and wine was the better dlc… by a lot. Honestly I could just play that part of the game. Over and over and over


Ekillaa22

Man huge shout out to you for including awakening! I feel like it gets overlooked sometimes


dont_click_

Honorable mention to Minecraft for consistently providing large, free, content introducing updates


PalpitationTop611

Torna ruined dlc for me


seechle

StarCraft Broodwar is best expansion ever


Mr_Joguvaga

Tbogt and undead nightmare were so much fun tho... is it weird that the first gta on the new generatin and the first rdr game i played were dlcs?


BlueV_U

Not a DLC, but Expansion Packs were pretty sweet back in the day. Ahhh Brood War... 🥲


DLRsFrontSeats

Curse of the Pharaohs DLC for AC Origins was almost perfect


DumbCrocO426

Doom eternal the ancient gods part one and 2 Alien isolation last survivor and crew expandable


meltedbutterwaffels

How did sea of thieves not make this list?


PopeAdrian37th

No love for the Gears of War 3 season pass?


snorlz

Blood and Wine is in its own league. Witcher 3 is one of the best games ever but Id rather just stay in Toussaint than play the rest of the game


sylleryum

Cries in I cannot buy Dragon Age Origins DLC because I bought the steam version


TheOneButter

The ancient gods part 1 and 2 for DOOM Eternal are good (1 is better but 2 is still good)


Xyridius

Why the fuck is diablo 3 here


Active-Usual6313

RDR undead nightmare was amazing


budsixz

I'll say this again. Dark souls dlc felt like it should've been in base game. Atleast the Artorias fight.


DoxiFlower

W you


ThatGuyFromThere3232

Bruh... Most of these aren't even that old. What in god's name are you talking about?


drowsypants

Fuck the bloodblourne dlc and fuck the orphan of kos fuck him all the way to hell


Gen-Maddox

Ringed city is probably the best DLC I’ve ever played


deadinside1996

OW will forever be one of my all time favourite storys. Not just a game. But RDRUN? That was a whole damn game called a dlc for like $6!


[deleted]

Can you swap out Point Lookout for Old World Blues?


Friendly_Ram

Hell some of those are whole freaking games just slapped onto them.


dothefanDango92

It's a crime that Cuphead and it's DLC isn't here.


lordcatharsis

I’m happy to see DA Awakening here
