The widespread use of DLC may be one of this generation’s most controversial developments, but there’s no doubt we’ve seen some genuinely brilliant add-ons and expansions released in recent times. Mark Butler takes a look at eight DLCs he considers to be the very best.
The Outerhaven writes: Remnant II: The Forgotten Kingdom, is a solid expansion of Remnant II, albeit a short adventure that adds more lore to the series and will beckon players back.

Social media was set ablaze over people saying gaming in 2024 is in a rut, but is there any merit to it? Not in my opinion. Let’s discuss
Gaming has been great. The industry however has been taking hits here and there. Nintendo is prepping for next gen, Sony has no first party, and mcsft has...who knows? I guess that's why it seems like gaming is in a rut for some. 3rd party and indies has been amazing though.
Personally I'm enjoying the sh out of gaming these last few years. All these great games, it takes me back to snes ps1 days where there was so much variety. In all my gaming years I think the ps3/360 was the worst of it. It was first person shooter after first person shooter, variety went out the window because that's when development really started rising for most devs even indies. I think all 3 console makers have done well with helping indies out lately to an extent. The variety started coming back during ps4 Era and now it's full blown. I just picked up eiyuden 100 heroes and man this sh takes me back. An actual jrpg releasing these day. I thought it was the end after only like 10 of them released for ps3 and 360(not literally but it was slim pickings)
we had a few hits this year alreadyz so im not sure where this "gaming is in trouble" comes from lol
and theres still alot more to come
2024 has been a banger for me, let’s see Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Relaoaded, FF7 Rebirth, Dragon’s Dogma 2, and Stellar Blade is next up to bat for me. So yea, I don’t know what this “rut” is unless you hate RPGs.
Awesome picks there!
1. Minerva's Den
2. Lair of the Shadow broker
3. Broken Steel
The DLC for Bethesda titles tend to be good because they actually expand the game's environment and mechanics as opposed to adding the same sort of content that is found in the core title.
I also had hours upon hours of fun on the expansion packs for Call of Duty: World at War. The MP maps didn't add much to the game but the new zombie levels really expanded upon the co-op mode and were really enjoyable.
I consider Lair of the Shadow Broker the best mission in the whole Mass Effect trilogy.
RDR: Undead Nightmare
RDR: Undead Nightmare
BFBC2: Vietnam
Ballad of Gay Tony
Fallout 3: almost every DLC.
