This expansion about matches the base content in that it's pretty decent, but still unremarkable. It definitely does make the game better, and I wouldn't want to play without it, but, like XCOM 2, it's not fantastic or ground-breaking.
I like what it does to make classing a bit more in-depth. It improves somewhat on how one-dimensional and boring it is in the original by adding three new factions that each can give you a unique soldier and adding some additional talents to individual troops in your roster. That being said, it's definitely an attempt to salvage a pretty bad system, so while it improves on it, it's still not great.
I see what they were trying to do with the bond system, and I like it in theory, but in practice it doesn't come that much in handy. The abilities you unlock through soldier bonds were kind of weird/poorly explained and rarely kicked in for me, meaning I only ever really used the bonus action ability. (Even that one has limited usefulness, because it takes an action from the user.) The trait system is basically a direct ripoff of Darkest Dungeon's and doesn't really work. I only ever saw it kick into effect maybe 5 times and a soldier developing a trait usually just meant I'd send them to the med bay for a few days to have it removed.
The Chosen are actually pretty fun to fight. They're annoying as hell over comms, but that just made it so much more satisfying to kill them and I liked each of their death scenes. They give you some cool, incredibly OP weapons when they die, too, which is kind of fun, but also feels kind of cheap.
The Lost are another addition that's just sort of meh. They were more of an annoyance on most missions than an actual obstacle and having to sit through a dozen discovery cinematics for each group of them got old fast. They have that obnoxiously slow walk that every strategy game gives zombies, too, so you spend a lot of time just watching their, usually unimpactful, turns.
The resistance faction soldiers are fun to use though, and I like the covert ops system which lets you undertake some passive missions and adds some new strategy to the game. Between using or not using this expansion, I'd say use it (although it isn't worth $40).
