More than ten years after base game was released, is it still worth playing? In that ten years, the number of DLC packs, including Expansion Packs, Game Packs, Stuff Packs, and Kits, has grown exponentially.
As of writing, there are at least 76 packs in existence, all of which add something to the base game. However, many game services let players into the base pack for free, so is it worth playing without all the extras?
The best games on Game Pass or PlayStation Plus are often those that are an entire game and that don’t depend on players buying a bunch of add-ons.
Even if players don’t have a subscription to one of these, the base game is also free to play on Steam. Sometimes these can include a few of the DLC, but nowhere near the full game as it exists now.
The real question is whether or not the game being free makes it worth it. While it has been ten years, it doesn’t mean that the game has continued to exist in the same state that it did at the beginning.
