From Hell weddings to alien hive-minds, these nine DLCs took a hard swerve away from the games they were attached to.

The short version

  • The best DLCs of all time took their main story and had the confidence to dream up wild new experiences for dedicated players.
  • Each of these nine game expansions took a big swing, and has been remembered for that creativity ever since.
  • How this one broke its game: Your brain gets stolen by talking robot scientists… and you spend the whole DLC chasing it down in a jar.

What happened

How this one broke its game: You fistfight a clone of yourself in a museum, then throw a dinner party for the entire crew like nothing happened. How this one broke its game: You fly through actual hell on demon wings to stop the president from marrying Satan.

Why it matters

How this one broke its game: A teenage bomb expert narrates the entire game as a D&D campaign, and the “dragon” is a skeletal robot she made up on the spot.
