Vermintide 2: Chaos Wastes Preview - The rogue-lite adventure Weaves should've been

[Update]: The Chaos Wastes expansion has now finally arrived, and as expected, it's a pretty good one!
Once it arrives this April 20th, Vermintide 2's newest free expansion Chaos Wastes will have you brave the corrupted northlands in search of ancient and supremely powerful artifacts. Given that reality tends to take a back seat whenever the Chaos gods are involved, it should come as little surprise that these expeditions into the Chaos Wastes will have you venture across a variety of strange and surreal lands, consort with whatever benevolent gods will even listen to you, and naturally, explode thousands upon thousands upon thousands of rats and Chaos cultists.
Over the past few days I had a chance to explore pretty much everything Chaos Wastes have to offer, so if you're curious how all of this madness translates into actual gameplay, as well as how the rogue-lite Expeditions compare to the dreaded Weaves, allow me to share my thoughts now that I've managed to finally scrub the smell of charred Beastmen off my clothes.

[Update]: Hearthstone's Voyage to the Sunken City expansion is bringing in some truly gigantic creatures.
The Forged in the Barrens expansion arrived a little while ago, bringing with it the long-requested Classic Mode alongside a whole host of fun new cards. Unfortunately, things didn't remain entertaining for long as some of the new cards, in combination with old cards rotating, created an environment where only Paladins, Mages and Rogues could find any sort of success.
So in order to sort this whole mess out, Blizzard has now released a brand new update. Mage's Deck of Lunacy has gone up to 4 mana cost, Paladin's secret-spewing Sword of the Fallen has lost 1 durability, while the always-annoying Pen Flinger has now been changed to only target minions!
