The missions added by this DLC are so-so, though mission design was never the strength of the game. These missions don't slot into the existing story, rather they're all character prequels designed to give more backstory. This makes them feel awkward as you bring in existing squads alongside story squads, and are then dis-incentivised to use the story squad as nothing from it will carry over to the main campaign. The loot is nice, but I can't help but feel it breaks the difficulty curve of an already pretty easy game.

Where this DLC shines is through the new units and items, etc. For anyone who is doing another run of the game it's a much needed breath of fresh air and genuinely opens up new ways to approach the missions and is fully worth the cost for this.
