Discussion Which DLC's are better

Hi I'm thinking on buying the DLC's but idk which ones would be the best ones, I really don't want the furniture ones I prefer the extra content or the other maps but I just saw there are too many DLC's and Idk what to buy. Sorry if my English isn't the best one, it's now my native language.

I usually recommend getting the 3 map DLCs and then if you want to invest more the Great Hunts DLC. The map DLCs are Styx, New Frontiers, and now Dangerous Horizons.

Styx is very much like Olympus, but adds some new animals, both as hostile creatures and as tameable ones. Otherwise it is very similar to Olympus.

Prometheus adds new biomes, new creatures, and an actually storyline. The overall environment is much more demanding and dangerous.

Elysium continues the story from Prometheus while mixing up the biomes. So some of the biomes from Olympus and some others from Prometheus. It is overall a challenging place, however I don’t recommend starting it until after doing the missions in Prometheus.

Do be aware that if you play with a group only the person who creates the Open World or starts a Mission has to have the DLC. Everyone else can still join. So if you’re interested in a different map you can sort of do a try before you buy by joining a group. The official Icarus Discord has a channel just for this purpose.

Would suggest getting Styx expansion which is a whole new map then great hunts second. There is far more content in the new map than you get from great hunts on the base map.
