Feels like they saw what happened with Shadows of Change in Total War Warhammer 3, gulped, and went extra hard on this. I'm pretty sure 90% of the 'free' content update was previously exclusive to the DLC, but regardless together they make quite some nice changes to the game.

After how god awful Empires and Ashes was, especially its new culture option which SHOULD have been the most interesting by far, it's nice to see things turn around with Primal Fury.

Whether it's worth your money or not though will still be a matter of perspective. In terms of raw brand new content, there actually isn't much. A lot of the 'new' stuff is mechanical and/or repurposes preexisting content (i.e. animal units). However, it does so in a way that really adds depth to using them and the game overall. The new culture also looks nice and hey now you have some bew cool bestial races added to the game too, which were long overdue.

While less an 'expansion' and more of a 'this is a huge void missing from the epic fantasy, uh, fantasy, why wasn't it there at release,' I still have to admit it is a worthwhile addition and likely will improve the game depth and versatility a good deal. However, since it basically improves the base game more than adding to it, whether or not you think it's worth money really depends on how much you like the base game and how much you want new things to shake stuff up.

Because shake stuff up this xpac does not. That SHOULD have been Empires and Ashes, which it failed to do unlike the Dragon Dawn expansion. Hopefully the next xpac does better and actually adds a breadth of brand new content to the game.

Either way, for $10, I feel it's overall good value for anything who already enjoys what is here and would like to increase the depth of that gameplay. If you're hoping for completely new toys to change things up, though, give it a pass.
