Europa Universalis IV: Emperor
 – 

Situationally good, the situation just happens to be for most players*****

If you plan on playing a catholic nation, in the HRE, or in europe in general, this DLC is kind of required. It added a lot of mechanics to the pope and other factions. Grumbling that some mods have added more content aside, if you want to play vanilla EU4 at its best, this is a DLC you should grab but wait for a sale. Or do the subscription thing.

Stellaris: Federations
 – 

Good DLC*****

This DLC expands the diplomacy of the game drastically. While the free update that came along with federations added a lot, this dlc adds enough that you should def put it twoards the top of your list (with say, apocalypse) as the DLCs you should get first.

Crusader Kings III: Royal Edition
 – 

Amazing sequel with lots of potential*****

We all kind of knew this game was going to not have as much depth in some areas as CK2. CK2 had almost a decade of support and some of the features, namely secret societies, are things that are blatantly missing from this game. However as of the royal court update that is yet to come out, it seems the depth that seemed missing from your character will now be there. At the very least this game is a good foundation for the future, a much better one than base CK2 was i might add. But that doesn't mean you should feel obligated to pay money to a game for the possibility of a good future. I think its worth a sale price as is. And the royal edition specifically i view as a great deal seeing as it will save you money as the first expansion and first 2 flavor packs are included.

No Man's Sky
 – 

In its current state its amazingly fun to play*****

NMS is the keynote success story of botched launches. It is, in its current state, jam packed with content and it will have you discovering new things 30-40 hours in. Its at the point where just as you feel you have seen everything, something happens you havent seen before and it keeps you guessing a bit longer. I love it, its fun to play with friends and alone. Just be warned of having no social life for like a week after purchase.

Total War: WARHAMMER II - The Twisted & The Twilight
 – 

If you play skaven or wood elves buy it*****

I love wood elves and so i bought the DLC. If you dont play either faction there is really no reason for you to buy it. Mandalore gaming did a pretty in depth review of T&T so wont get too in depth. But basically the skaven got a super cool mechanic, now with updates the wood elves are workable. But the campaign for both is fun. Recommended dlc.

Stellaris: Nemesis
 – 

Pretty important dlc*****

If you want the full stellaris experience this one is a must own. Up there with apocalypse and federations really. This is in the triangle of must get Expansion DLC's. Unless you dont like fun.

Stellaris: MegaCorp
 – 

Very situational*****

If there is one major DLC you want to skip in stellaris its this one. That is not saying it isnt good, its just saying that it isnt particularly important to most playstyles. Megacorps themselves are not particularly engaging although some new updates have added some stuff. IF you really really want the features then its worth your money, otherwise grab it on sale and/or grab other major dlc's before this one.
