Europa Universalis IV: Lions of the North
 – 

Bit clunky but adds flavour to Northern Europe*****

The mission tree for Lubeck, the only country I have played, is rather clunky, very unclear what you get from the mission tree. But it does add quite a bit of flavour for a region that can be rather stale.

Crusader Kings III: Royal Edition
 – 

Smoother version of CKII*****

In terms of features and gameplay, the game has not changed that much, but it has a bit less micro-fatigue, a bit more variation in building types, a better look and more historical flavour. Base game is pretty barebones though, and what I didn't like is the lack of merchant republic mechanis; I suspect that might come as an expensive DLC.

Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI: Gathering Storm
 – 

Adds mechanics to barebone lategame*****

This adds a bit of mechanics to an otherwise stale lategame, so it increases replayability. Should have been part of the basegame to begin with, but what can you do...

Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI: New Frontier Pass
 – 

Adds flavour, but expensive*****

This is mostly a flavour pack I would say, don't buy too expensive as a few good mods would add a similar level of flavour.

Europa Universalis IV: Leviathan
 – 

Increases microfatigue*****

For those that know EU4 through and through this might be interesting as a bit more flavour, but I find it mostly increases microfatigue, while not solving the blandness of the typical EU4 snowball.

Europa Universalis IV: Origins Immersion Pack
 – 

Buy cheap for an Africa campaign*****

If it's very cheap it's worth to buy for an Africa campaign, otherwise doesn't add much.

Europa Universalis IV: Emperor
 – 

Addition of pretty lame mechanics*****

The addition of mechanics is pretty lame, maybe if you wanna do another Austria run or so. Certainly don't buy this at full price, but even cheap it's not very worth it.
