I was disappointed, bailed out, and put it out of my mind until I heard some people singing the praises of the War of the Chosen expansion. Despite being a huge fan of tactics titles and of the previous XCOM games specifically, it just didn’t grab me – it didn’t seem better or different than what had come before, and worse, it felt repetitive and tired. When I played XCOM 2’s original, vanilla version from 2016, I felt much the same way that Darren did in his review.
LOW Getting all of the DLC properly activated is counter-intuitive. Finishing several missions with a 100% hit rate. New hero classes are nice during first 2/3rds of campaign but they run out of steam towards the end.HIGH The tweaks revitalize the campaign. Never leave Avenger without it! Also with some extra accuracy stacked on, one fan fire could hit for 30+ damage. With amount of stuff that runs around on screen, pistol snipers are the best thing ever.

Woop woop! Other two were cake walks because I had max weapons and armor by that point + full squad of colonels First chosen stronghold, "Warlock" was very rough for me because I forgot he had a "melee immunity" strength and I brought. Was fixed eventually by visiting a mission with "Lost" StiRep. I regret ever allowing this event to happen. I encountered a bug which almost ruined my campaign, where "Lost World" dark event never expired. This happened more than once and I attribute to fact that chosen like to flee + run around a lot this time and my troops having heavy melee / close range focus It was highly interesting fighting chosen + a pod of enemies + 2nd pod just wandering into combat zone during engagement + chosen summoning new enemies (+ add lost to mix in some maps).

I think it was just me being inexperienced and not knowing things like "explosions attract lost" or how to deal with each individual chosen
Starts of the campaign was extremely rough for me. I finally completed my (save-scummy) commander campaign for this expansion. It was an epic moment when I pulled it off and didn't get any of my guys killed. I manage to get to the scientist, pull him out, pick up his unconscious escort, drag both of them BACK to the starting point, all while managing to kill the chosen and holding off against the lost and having my sniper pretty much in the same place he started the mission and picking off the lost while my team pulls back. To make matters worse the scientist had an unconscious escort that was a bonus if I could extract him as well. I decided to shoot the soldier but missed and hit the turret instead and destroyed it and a large lost swarm converged on us. I manage to reach him around turn 3 and then one of the chosen show up next to him and summons advent soldiers and one of the soldiers spawns next to the turret. My team lands and there is a timer that after 6 turns the turret that is protecting the scientist will run out and he will die from the lost.
The mission didn't sound too hard but I knew it couldn't be THAT easy and I was right. So I had this mission from the resistance about rescuing a scientist from a lost infested zone. I just feel that missions pop up more often after the expansion. What I mean is that instead of having a few days to rest, the game is constantly shifting between missions of the main game and expansion missions and I never have any time to rest my soldiers more than 2-4 days. I have a story to share but before I share it I don't think they balanced the expansion with the main game that well.
