Warmongrels was better in every way so far, story starts weak, tone isnt as gritty, and the direct control mechanic has been nerfed which was one of the most fun aspects that made the first one unique. Now its better to cheese tactical pause to shoot people rather than ever use direct control. Still going to try and plow through it.

I've completed 3/6 levels on Hard so far. Enjoying it. Although, I am a Commandos veteran since BEL, so prefer the harder challenge and the sense of achievement once you're really struggling. 63 Days is a good follow-up from War Mongrels, which I completed on Hard also. I hope this gets a DLC.
