War of the Chosen is a solid DLC. It adds a lot of great stuff to xcom 2, so much that it could almost be a standalone game of it's own.

I would like more realistic and grim atmosphere like the XCOM Enemy Unknown and the older XCOM's had.
And while the chosen and the factions are a bit gringy at times, I can't say no to them since they add so many fun gameplay elements.

Couple of things I really disliked though.
There is a lot of enemies now who can mindcontrol your units. A lot. It wasn't unusual to fight against 4 mindcontrol able enemies at the same time. There is a counter for this though: Carry a lot of flashbangs in each mission. A LOT. But it kinda forces you to. Or focus on psionics I guess.

The "balance" between chosen is ridiculous I feel. The first one you encounter and suspect to be the easiest, is actually by far the hardest. Other two are actually pretty enjoyable to fight against but the first one just seems unfair at times.
There was also no information on how ridiculously hard the first chosen assault mission was.

Word of advice: do not try ironman in your first WotC game like I did.
