10 More Video Game DLCs Better Than The Game

7. Tiny Tina's Assault On Dragon Keep - Borderlands 2

Borderlands 2: Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep is one of the most inspired DLCs ever made. 

Set within the D&D-aping tabletop board game Bunkers & Badasses, this expansion ingeniously injects a weapons-grade dose of fantasy into the wild world of Borderlands to dizzying, shockingly entertaining effect.

Everything here just hits - the story has surprising dimension to it, the locations are great, the new enemies rock, and Tina makes for a terrifically charming guide through this world as the game's dungeon master.

Now, there's a strong argument to be made that Borderlands 2 is among the best - or even the best - games in the series, but even so, Assault on Dragon Keep offered up such an unexpected subversion of both itself and Dungeons & Dragons that it barely comes out on top.

Hell, this DLC went down well enough with fans that Gearbox even greenlit a full-fat game based on it, with Tiny Tina's Wonderlands releasing to solid acclaim in 2022.
