Spring DLC Review: Witcher 3 and Fallout 4

Let's discuss DLC... Shall we?

Most downloadable content is shit. Admit it. It's just there to keep someone interested in said game for a week or two after the initial release. See games like assassins creed or COD.
Then you have companies like Bethesda and CD Projekt Red.
These guys know how to do DLC. It's been over a year since CD released The Witcher 3 and the game is still one of the best you can possible buy. They've updated the main game several times with free DLC and have not advertised any of it whatsoever. Now (IMHO) the game has gone from a solid 9 to a perfect 10. When you include the last two DLC's that they charged for (Blood and Wine and Hearts of Stone) you get a grand total of 150+ hrs of total gameplay for amateur or intermediate gamers. The stories they've included with the recent updates are wonderfully done. Old lore, children's fables and Nordic legends are amongst the many stories you get to take part in. All in all, if you don't own this game, you should.
Let's move on to Fallout 4:
As I progressed through fallout 4's first major DLC contribution, (automatron) I thought "meh, more of the same." However, the latest (Far Harbor) in addition to the aforementioned is a truly stout addition to an already great game. The two additions give you around 40 hours of bonus gameplay. The storylines leave a little something to be desired but when you play the game in its entirety and add both DLC's? It's a wonderful adventure.
I'm not here to sing DLC's praise. However, when companies do it right to the correct titles, it's a welcomed addition to a great collection.

Witcher 3 hearts of stone DLC: 8
Witcher 3 Blood and wine DLC: 9
Fallout 4 automatron DLC: 6.5
Fallout 4 Far Harbor DLC: 8
