10 Video Game DLC Packs That Are The Most Value For Money

It may be just weeks old - and the second piece of Geralt-centric DLC on this list - but Blood and Wine is the best example of just how impressive post-release expansions can be in modern gaming. Featuring enough new content and enhancements for most modern developers to consider sticking a full retail price on it, the final DLC pack for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is staggering in size.

Taking the player to an entire new region - the size of approximately 35% of Wild Hunt's already huge map - Blood and Wine adds story and gameplay so fresh that it could easily have been dubbed 'The Witcher 4' instead. The new campaign can take up to 20 hours to complete, and that's even before you set off in search of the myriad treasures hidden all over the stunning landscape of Toussaint.

There are mammoth new monsters to face off against in exciting boss battles, and gameplay additions that genuinely enrich the already detailed mechanics. Blood and Wine is an absolute steal at less than $20, representing the best value for money I have ever seen from a DLC pack. If you're yet to check it out, I'd recommend setting aside a good week or so; this one is another life consumer...

Ready to concede that DLC is a wonderful part of modern gaming? Well, you shouldn't be. But perhaps look on it a little more favourably now that we've talked you through the best of the best!
