This roundup gathers four recent DLC releases that each extend their respective base games in markedly different directions, from atmospheric world-building and creative sandbox expansion to focused narrative tension and mechanical experimentation. Across park builders, simulations, and tactical RPGs, these add-ons aim to refine established systems rather than reinvent them, offering targeted injections of theme, challenge, or storytelling for existing players. Whether it is wetlands bringing new behavioural nuance to dinosaur exhibits, toy-themed creativity reshaping a theme park sandbox, character-driven pressure testing a firefighting sim, or a cursed forest pushing an RPG into darker territory, these DLCs highlight how incremental content can meaningfully reshape familiar experiences.

It also reframes early-game pacing by introducing new incentives and optional systems, giving veteran groups a surprisingly different tempo from the moment the first strategy cards are drafted.
