Stellaris: Astral Planes
 – 

Expected more*****

The DLC content is nice (space archeology), but completely overpriced. Wait for a 50% off.

Stellaris: First Contact Story Pack
 – 

Nice DLC*****

More content would be great. But what is there is awesome. Especially the cloaking is a game changer.

Victoria 3 Grand Edition
 – 

Unpolished gem*****

Give it a chance, 1.2 improved a lot, but PDX should continue to work hard on this game. Waiting for the next DLCs.

Europa Universalis IV: Lions of the North
 – 

Great content but full of bugs.*****

Come on PDX, there's just too many PLACEHOLDER string problems. Fix them and this is worth at least 4 stars.

Europa Universalis IV: Guns, Drums and Steel Volume 3 Music Pack
 – 

Best music pack yet*****

There can never be too much metal music in EU4. This gives you 12 new ones to rock out to.

Stellaris: Toxoids Species Pack
 – 

I am the god of destruction*****

Beautiful new species concept, highly recommended. Especially love the new Toxic God origin.

Crusader Kings III: Friends & Foes
 – 

Content is great, price is not.*****

The stories are really nice, but this should have been a free upgrade not a paid DLC.

Stellaris: Overlord
 – 

Who needs egalitarian?*****

Ruthlessly enslave the universe. What's not to like? (Actually, there seem to be still a few bugs related to vassal control, but I guess these will be patched asap) Just the new possibilities alone make this a buy.

Hearts of Iron IV: No Step Back
 – 

Great HoI4 DLC*****

The Russia overhaul and the new train mechanic is great. The new tank designer not so much. THe new focus trees are also really good.

Stellaris: Aquatics Species Pack
 – 

Finally worthy Space Pirates*****

I wish I could sing sea shanties, because this DLC makes me happy all around. Now if it was just possible to actually found a space pirate empire...

Hearts of Iron IV: Waking the Tiger
 – 

The Asian front*****

Yes, this is a great DLC. The China/Japan issue in WW2 is rarely mentioned, and you get to relive it here.

Hearts of Iron IV: Death or Dishonor
 – 

Slavic rave*****

Good DLC, basically a must for Europe, also, if you like Balkan parties. Because let's face it, slavic party, best party.

Hearts of Iron IV
 – 

Great game.*****

This is where you start to play HoI4. You can have a lot of fun even without the DLCs, and I strongly recommend doing that. This beast is complex, but Cadet edition without DLCs makes the learning easier.

Hearts of Iron IV: Man the Guns
 – 

Great if you like US & UK*****

So, I should like this... but I don't, since I usually don't play with US and/or UK. But if you do, you get a hefty pack of content, and you get a some very interesting strategic choices, including civil war or the deconolisation of India. Very nice.

Europa Universalis IV: Emperor
 – 

Read the bible!*****

Religion, maybe no. But admit it, you love killing infidels. Now do it in the name of the Pope, so add two stars to the review.

Europa Universalis IV: Conquest of Paradise
 – 

Before the wild west was interesting*****

Useless DLC, the random generation of the native american world and the tribe mechanisms are sub-par.

by doom-o-matic, - Nov 18th 2021
Hearts of Iron IV: Together for Victory
 – 

Commonwealth schmommonwealth*****

Sorry, this DLC doesn't make any sense. Though, one extra point because finally you can play with Australia and become the major Pacific power.

Hearts of Iron IV: La Résistance
 – 

Must have DLC*****

This one is worth it just for the new espionage mechanism. Makes everything so much more "diplomatic".

by doom-o-matic, - Nov 18th 2021
Hearts of Iron IV: Battle for the Bosporus
 – 

Buggy but interesting*****

3 new focus trees, but it all seems so buggy, what's going on? One of the more random-number-generator focused DLCs...

by doom-o-matic, - Nov 18th 2021
Stellaris: Nemesis
 – 

Destroy the universe*****

Power overwhelming! Finally I'm the real bad guy. (wait, I think I was before, no? right?)
