Best DLC?

The Fury DLC for Wipeout HD was incredible. It just about doubled the amount of content in the game.
Aldo a shoutout to From Software's DLCs which tend to be amazing. I'm currently playing through Bloodborne's The Old Hunters and it has some of the best level design and bosses in the game.

Bloodborne Old Hunters or Horizon Frozen Wilds would be my choices. They both added a fair chunk of meaningful content and some solid new areas.
Witcher 3 was also a standout but I found it a bit same-y after a while.

It's a tough call between a lot of good ones.
I'd probably have to give it to one of The Witcher 3's DLC, Hearts of Stone or Blood and Wine. And between one of those, I'd give it to, uh, one of those.
Bloodborne's Old Hunters, Fallout New Vegas' Dead Money, Dark Souls' Artorias of the Abyss, and Dark Souls 3's Ringed City are up there as well.

I been meaning to get the complete edition, but with supersampling update I think it's the perfect time to get it.
I still wholeheartedly believe the best piece of downloadable content thus far is Oblivion's "Horse armour pack". So worth it!
If GaaS were done like this for Single-Player titles I'd have no problem with it.
Depends on what you're going for.
In terms of storytelling and characterization the Witcher 3 Expansion Pass was really, really good! Solid story additions and some would say that Heart of Stone was better than the base game!
For me, personally, the DLC for Mario Kart 8 was incredible, doubling the size of the base game in track quantities (which was already hefty to begin with). However, my personal favorite was the DLC for Hyrule Warriors. More characters, more movesets and more maps, none of which felt like filler to me. So, so, SO much content!
I'm super excited to play through it in full on the Switch :)

Mass Effect 3's Citadel tells a cheesy, campy story, is packed full of content and fanservice and ended the trilogy in an absolutely perfect way, which more than made up for the original ending. Best part of the game by a long shot, and one of the best parts of the entire trilogy.
Besides the obvious The Witcher 3 and Bloodborne dlc's, I was really a huge fan of GTA4 Lost and Damned when that released. The two dlc's for GTA4 in general was really nice and I really liked this whole idea of multiplot / character interference, while they still had their own stories (which would later be the foundation for GTAV)

Driveclub Season pass. Holy hell, the amount of content shoved into this DLC.
(And horse armor, the OG).
(And horse armor, the OG).
That reminds me; I still need to play Horizon's The Frozen Wilds. What's the recommended level to tackle it? I finished the main game and I think I was around level 40ish.
GTA4 Ballad of Gay Tony + Lost and the Damned
Red Dead Undead Nightmare
Bioshock Infinite: Burial At Sea
Batman Arkham Origins: Cold Cold Heart
The Last of Us: Left Behind
Elder Scrolls Oblivion: Shivering Isles
Dishonored: Knife of Dunwald + Brigmore Witches
Wipeout HD Fury
LA Noire season pass
Deus Ex: The Missing Link
Forza Horison 2: Fast and the Furious
Forza Horizon 3: Hot Wheels and Cold Mountain
This is all quality DLC that could lf been sold as standalone games (in some cases they where).

This.
The content and quality was insane for the small price. Blood & Wine is a proper open world RPG on it's own.
This is a great list, I totally forgot about Burial at sea but that was really good. I'd also put Big Surf Island form Burnout Paradisemand Storm Island from Forza Horizon 2 in there
Top 5
1) Bloodborne - The Old Hunters. 3 of my all-time favourite bosses, lots of great weapons and I really liked the new areas. Made Bloodborne my all-time favourite game.
2) Mass Effect 3 - The Citadel. It's what I consider the ending, One last tale with all the crew. Get a little emotional just thinking about it.
3) The Witcher 3 - Hearts of Stone. Pretty much the best of TW3, but condensed into a 10-15 hour experience, with a great story, characters and moments.
4) The Witcher 3 - Blood & Wine. Pretty much another Witcher game.
5) TES 4: Oblivion - Shivering Isles Pretty much another TES game, it was also my first real big expansion, properly blew me away at release.

Huge fan of the Halo 3 Heroic Map Pack. Hell, all the Halo 3 DLC maps excluding Assembly were fantastic and feel like core elements of the game, now.
Other than that I rarely ever play DLC in single player games. I did enjoy Skyrim's Dawnguard for its slightly more Dark Fantasy tone quite a bit though, but I suppose some people were disappointed in it.

New Vegas's DLC is always painfully undermentioned in threads like these, so I'd like to point it out again:
Four DLC packs, all introducing completely new areas and gameplay mechanics, with pretty great stories that all tie back into one big overarching story that also ties back into the main game's story in multiple surprising ways.

Witcher 3 Blood and Wine and Horizon Frozen Wikds by far the best DLC I ever had the pleasure to play
Second post, I'm impressed. Imo Hearts of Stone is better than Blood & Wine. Gaunter O'dimm was just so good as a villain and the story about Oldgierd and Iris was heartbreaking.
While I think the story of Hearts of Stone (and O'dimm as the villain) is better, I do love the world of Toussaint. It is incredible to look at and explore. Emiel is also pretty cool.
This and Old World Blues for New Vegas are so damn good
I really liked the ringed city DLC for Dark Souls 3, beautiful send off to the series
Blood and Wine. For $15 I had a twenty hour ad on that had a main campaign and side quests that were as good as the base game's.
Yeah, I also really liked the
fairy tale world
1) Vietnam for BC2 was the best shooter dlc by far. It'll probably always be the perfect multiplayer dlc to me.
2) The Old Hunters was everything great about Bloodborne but concentrated.
3) Blood and Wine for the Witcher 3. Huge completely new area, completely different theme, lots of unique and interesting quests, and it was loaded with fun content. I think it was only $20 too, so it was an amazing deal. (I think Hearts of Stone was more interesting, but this was the perfect way to do an expansion)
Honorable mention) Dawnguard
, it was a very small dlc but I loved all of it and the tone shift from Skyrim was really great. Every time I replay Skyrim I start in the DLC.

I never got to Ringed City content. I'd lost a Mage save at the 65 hour mark, started a pyromancer and beat the game, beat the game with a Faith character, bought both DLC's and played a Dex build to the Swamp and good god the Swamp just kills my desire to keep playing DSIII.
Lair of the Shadow Broker and Minerva's Den were the first to come to mind for me, but then of course I remembered TLOU Left Behind, which was a great way to build on Ellie as a character and give context to the ending of the base game.
When that happens to me in a Souls game I just start over again with a new build. Only took me 3 restarts to beat DS3.
If you try again I would suggest going for a quality build so you can try a majority of the weapons
Old Hunters DLC for sure. Probably the best piece of gaming content I have ever played contained in that DLC alone.
The big ones have already been mentioned, so I'm going to give a shout-out to the Force Unleashed DLC costumes which were highly entertaining.
Among many others. Pure gold.
