In no particular order, here are a few gems:
- Age of Empires II: The Conquerors (2000) - AoE2 was already one of the better RTS games ever made, and this expansion built on it swimmingly. You had a bunch of quality of life changes, new visual elements such as snowy and tropical terrain, improved AI, an expanded tech tree, new maps, new campaigns, five new factions, and the new Uniquer Technology mechanic. There's a reason why the game survived for over a decade without support.
- Fallout: New Vegas - Old World Blues (2011) - Basically an entire Fallout game in miniature, complete with interesting quests, a decent story and roster of characters, new items/enemies/perks, and The Toaster.
- Mario Kart 8's content packs (2014 & 2015) - $12 for 16 high quality new tracks with original graphics and music, 6 new characters, 12 kart parts, and 200cc? This was a heck of a bargain. As a bonus, the Animal Crossing pack came out weeks early, something that hardly ever happens in this industry.
- Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment (2017) - A new campaign and delightful set of mechanics alongside remixed music to match the new tone.
- Sonic & Knuckles (1994) - This one is a bit arguable, but I'm including it here because buying this let you add new content to Sonic 2 and Sonic 3.
