Imperator: Rome - Magna Graecia Content Pack
 – 

It's alright*****

If you like imperator then this is a fine addition, doesn't do anything amazing but it's a bit more content.

Crusader Kings II: Holy Fury
 – 

Worth it if you like the base game*****

Does good things to the base game, does much needed things for religion.

Crusader Kings III: Expansion Pass
 – 

Good value but-*****

Good value but does not save the experience of mindlessly clicking events and recruiting new knights after a few runs.

Hearts of Iron IV
 – 

Fun but flawed*****

A lot of its core systems are frankly just broken even after years and years since release. Subjects and allies will bunch up eating supply and attrition just completely freezing fronts, and you have no way to tell them to stop it. The frontsystem ai is absolutely terrible and fronts will split requiring you to micro them to the point that despite its massive combat bonuses it's still better to just not use it at all (Or pause constantly and set up new fronts making everything take ages).

Moreover DLC's have added more and more capability to design tanks, ships, planes etc. Completely superflous and just introduces a crazy amount of clicking for really no added fun.

Despite this and many, many more flaws, the game can still be fun, you just have to work around all the terribly designed systems and make your own fun. It also has some absolutely fantastic mods.

Europa Universalis IV: Lions of the North
 – 

Skippable, and that's fatastic*****

One of the few DLC that doesn't add some necessary mechanic to make the gameplay of the base game function, and is still worth getting!

It contains content for the countries listed, and the content is good, so should be easy to gauge whether the price is worth it for you before buying it.

Europa Universalis IV: Leviathan
 – 

Necessary*****

This DLC is pretty necessary to make the base game function as intended at this point, so while it's not great that the functional base EU4 experience is divied up on a whole bunch of scattered DLC, to the point where you need a guide to just purchase the bloody game... The game itself is fantastic fun, especially with mods, if extremely expensive with all the DLC one needs to make it function properly.

Crusader Kings III
 – 

Event-clicking simulator*****

There's some gameplay here, sadly 90% of what you do in the game is 1, click away events you've already seen before or that really has no bearing or importance as to who your character is, most of which are kinda silly. 2. Choose accolades for or click in a new knight for your roster.

I don't really feel immersed when I'm playing the game, and while there's some good stuff in there, the spending so much time doing the 2 things mentioned up there just drags the whole experience into the dirt for me (And I've really, really tried to enjoy it as I am generally a big fan of paradox's stuff).

Europa Universalis IV: Winds of Change
 – 

Mission Trees for nations listed.*****

Contains mission trees for the nations listed, no more no less. The content is good but definitely on the overpowered side.

Stellaris: Toxoids Species Pack
 – 

Overpriced but fine*****

Stellaris DLC are always consistently overpriced, this one has some extra narrative content for single player which is nice, it's fine.

Victoria 3: Colossus of the South
 –

Entirely missable even if you only play in south america (for some reason), not terrible expensive though but still, meh.
