TLDR: Awesome DLC with new weapons, armor, equipment, enemies, lore, voice acting, and fun.

Can't really compare this to modding, because it's far better than any mod. The new enemies are serious contenders, not just reskins with 1 or 2 extra abilities. If you think you can just muscle them down the first time you see a Ruler with the same tactics you've always been using, they are going to give you a rude shock.

The Rulers are pretty nuts in terms of difficulty, but not unbeatable. New tactics, and smart use of the new tools the game provides, as well as some old tools like stasis make them far from impossible to tackle. I wish you could fight them repeatedly, one just one each per campaign. More super bosses is good, because end game soldiers are insanely powerful and need a significant challenge to go up against.

There's all the production value of course, with new voice acting, at least one new map location too. Worth at least 1 whole new playthrough, and probably more.
