Remember the expensive horse armor in Oblivion? Those were the bad old days. Luckily, a lot has happened since then when it comes to DLC (Downloadable Content). There are some incredible DLCs out there these days, including entire expansions that enrich and complement the base game. Some of them even displace the main event, twisting the formula in unexpected ways and creating something truly memorable. So here are nine DLC packs that are better than the main game.
Grand Theft Auto 4: The Ballad of Gay Tony
“Gay Tony” contrasted sharply with the base game.
GTA 4: Complete Ed. (PC) for 9.49 euros instead of 29.99 euros at MMOGA
BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea
“Burial at Sea” presented Rapture in its heyday.
BioShock: The Collection (PC) for 7.49 euros instead of 59.99 euros at MMOGA
The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine
Off to the south: Even in “Blood and Wine” Geralt is not granted a vacation.
The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone
“Hearts of Stone” is a real horror story, even for the hardened Geralt.
The Witcher 3: GOTY Ed. (PC) for 12.49 euros instead of 49.99 euros at MMOGA
The Last of Us: Left Behind
“Left Behind” explores Ellie’s story and experiments with mechanics.
XCOM 2: War of the Chosen
“War of the Chosen” delivers fans the definitive version of “XCOM 2”.
Rather than telling an entirely new story, War of the Chosen builds on what already exists. Loads of new mechanics, dangerous enemies, fresh scenarios come together in this pack – it’s expanding a game that was already great and upgrading it to its best possible output.
XCOM 2 Collection (PC) for 8.99 euros instead of 124.99 euros at MMOGA
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey: The Fate of Atlantis
“Fate of Atlantis” immerses you in the fantasies of ancient Greece.
“The Fate of Atlantis” takes you to the lost city of Atlantis, the Greek underworld and the heavenly Elysium, offering you three all-new landscapes to explore. Not tied to realism, the artists are free to create some of the most breathtaking environments the series has ever seen. It’s also cool to see the Greek Pantheon up close. OK, not too close. Hands off, Zeus!
Mass Effect 3: Citadel
“Citadel” provided the farewell pictures that “Mass Effect 3” initially refused.
Bloodborne: The Old Hunters
The Old Hunters features some of the best FromSoftware bosses out there.
Many thanks to Kirk McKeand (GLHF) for his selection!
