XCOM 2: War of the Chosen
XCOM® 2: War of the Chosen, is the expansion to the 2016 award-winning strategy game of the year. XCOM® 2: War of the Chosen adds extensive new content in the fight against ADVENT when additional resistance factions form in order to eliminate the alien threat on Earth. In response, a new enemy, known as the “Chosen,” emerges with one goal: recapture the Commander. This expansion includes new Hero classes to counter the “Chosen”, new enemies, missions, environments and increased depth in strategic gameplay. Three additional factions have emerged to strengthen Earth's resistance – the Reapers, Skirmishers and Templars – each with its own unique abilities and contrasting philosophies. These factions provide powerful hero class soldiers to aid in missions and new opportunities for the strategy layer.

Very good. Lengthy story, Want to see an XCOM 3. Easy mode is the most fun for me.

Very good, but, unfortunately, you can NOT marry the chosen hunter; I've tried many times to take his hand in marriage, IMPOSSIBLE, probably a glitch, please fix this ASAP.

My personal 'crack addiction', I've put over 2700 hours into this bad boy.
The modding community makes this a nearly timeless game by adding/changing/bug-fixing just about everything.
I can't give it enough stars!

The essential way to play XCOM 2. The new units are rad and having to deal with the Chosen in the early/mid game really kicks things up a notch. If there's a weakness to this DLC it's that in the late game after you have finished off the Chosen things become perhaps too easy, but getting to that point is a hell of a ride and it almost feels like an earned victory lap. Highly recommend!

Not only it adds a substantial storyline, and a bunch of classes and mechanics,
it adds FIVE (5) characters voiced by Star Trek TNG main cast actors.
Riker, Q, Worf, Tasha, Troi, all do voiceovers for this game.
I get such a raging erection from the VAing by Frakes and De Lancie that it interferes with my ability to play the game. 10/10

Excellent.
I do recommend doing a playthrough without WOTC but with the other DLC first, because WOTC is significantly different from vanilla.
My main complaint is that the other DLC missions aren't available when playing with WOTC, but the fun of having the various resistance factions and the Chosen to fight more than makes up for that.
Also, they disabled some stuff on lower graphical settings that used to be enabled, but there are mods that can fix that.
Other than that, the new classes, the resistance ops, the bond system, and all the other stuff added are great.
