Reviews out.

http://www.opencritic.com/game/4495/xcom-2-war-of-the-chosen?tab=1

Quote:
War of the Chosen is a wide and deep expansion for XCOM 2 that improves variety in mission objectives, tactical options, threats, and strategic map activities. The Chosen are worthy adversaries who advance along with you to put up great fights without feeling cheap, and the new elite soldier classes add opportunities for interesting gameplay earlier in the campaign. Some significant balance issues show up, but especially for the first two-thirds of a campaign War of the Chosen restores the fear of the unknown to a game I know well.


Quote:
Overpowered aliens and a run of bad luck can test your resolve, but there is almost always a way out of every jam thanks to XCOM's layered strategy


Quote:
War of the Chosen is a generous expansion that's bustling with brilliant new systems that's a must for anyone who's completed XCOM 2.




Quote:
BUY! Incredibly packed with content that really does just blossom out the game.


The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

It's basically a second copy of the game, uses its own exe like Enemy Unknown did. You don't get the content in the base game, that remains its own thing (hence why no performance upgrade without the DLC). So no, probably not.

So... any tldr reviews?

How's the beginning of the game? Same as xc2?

* Read some of the 'real' reviews and they make it sound very nice.

Great expansion so far. Despite it being a bit of a dick move to limit the new optimizations to the XPAC only, it nonetheless really does improve the game's performance tremendously.

They also took inspirations from a few mods and intergrate them nicely into the game. The new features itself adds extra depth to the game, especially the strategic layer.

The resistance factions have these covert operations, they are a great addition that makes better use of your reserve roster.

Basically it improves the game in every way possible. Technical, gameplay, and story are all better than ever.

So far the only negative I have is the fatigue system, with all the new features to occupy your troops availability, I don't really see the point of this arbitrary mechanic to deplete your mapower further.
