10 Video Game DLC Releases That Were Better Than The Original
7. Dark Souls II: The Lost Crowns
A bit of a cheat here since The Lost Crowns is actually three separate pieces of DLC, but combined they form perhaps the greatest Dark Souls adventure ever.
While Dark Souls II wasn't really a bad game, it was something of a disappointment in the way its gameplay and design changes compromised many of the best parts of the first title. The Lost Crowns worked to rectify many of those design mistakes by providing some of the most memorable levels and boss fights the series has ever produced. What's truly incredible about these DLC releases, though, is the story they form. Without betraying the Dark Souls style of minimalist storytelling, the Crowns trilogy crafts a fascinating narrative that makes the world of Dark Souls feel more significant than ever before.
Of course, the real reason that most Souls fans remember this DLC so fondly is for how punishingly difficult it is. Getting a Dark Souls fan to admit that the game is genuinely hard isn't easy, but none will deny this is - especially seeing as it features an invisible boss that'll tear you in half.
