    Dead Cells Queen and the Sea DLC makes an amazing game even better – and is very cheap ☺️

    2021 was a year where it felt like DLC finally took a turn back towards actually being good additions to the game instead of money grabs

    Prey: Mooncrash. It’s deathloop but actually good.

    GTA the contact.

    We all knew Ghost of Tsushima would win easy. It’s objectively best

    Sony is not fooling around with the DLCs.

    IkI island was short but sweet



  12. Ancestor Empire on January 16, 2022 at 4:27 pm

    W3’s Hearts of Stone/Blood and Wine> ghost of Tsushima’s Tiki island

    Another trash list



  14. dustpal on January 16, 2022 at 4:31 pm

    Surprised to not see Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker. Hmmm….



  15. doobieblaze1 on January 16, 2022 at 4:32 pm

    GTA The Contract with Dr Dre



  16. Lucie on January 16, 2022 at 4:35 pm

    I thought Valhalla was a decent game, but the DLCs were VERY good. AC DLCs almost always are.

    Ghost of Tsushima is the best game on PS4 . It has that nostalgic feeling that makes you come back to replay it over and over again.

    I remember when this ‘DLC’ was called expansions or patches. You got the patches for *FREE* that fixed games that were 99.999% complete except for a few bugs. Expansions were more expansive than DLC these days but DLC was primarily a console economic feature to rinse kids of even more money for less value. Damn, how the times change… for the worst! 😕



  19. Lazy Man on January 16, 2022 at 4:37 pm

    Assassins creed Valhalla



  20. Tomasz Kłębecki on January 16, 2022 at 4:38 pm

    Death Stranding DC is less than it should be, Hideo just don’t give a sh.t That PS4 players won’t get it… just like in FF7 intermission

    Solid advice to know what to pick up



  22. Arturo Olivo on January 16, 2022 at 4:40 pm

    I definitely need to play the DLC for Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut once I finish the main game.



  23. Abhijai Jaglan on January 16, 2022 at 4:44 pm

    Who else waiting for the Cyberpunk 2077 expansion?



  24. tyler outland on January 16, 2022 at 4:45 pm

    I loved ghost of tsushima iki island



  25. Ben Prins on January 16, 2022 at 4:49 pm

    Hey I got a question, is the designers cut for Borderlands 3 worth buying for $19.99 Cdn?

    Love the game but only the ava missions interest me and a few weapons and shields.

    Glad I subscribed to this channel

    I’m going to need you to stop being so positive and cheerful about gaming. You need to adopt the Frosk/G4 model and be more condescending, insult us FFS!!!!! 🤣



  28. Zeev on January 16, 2022 at 4:54 pm

    Assassins Creed Valhalla has 2 DLCs in 2021 that will take about 12-14 hours to complete yet you chose to include the shortest ones as top ones? Gaming Journalists…. They just dont care about consumer’s money per conent and just want DLCs as short as possible to faster review it and done with it. Also there are issues with Assassins Creed Valhalla first DLC with a lot of crashes but its still better than most of the DLCs mentioned here.

    If i never see animal crossing on a vg channel or list ever again it would make me very happy. I immediately fwd past any mention of it.
