About this mod

1.2 available, optional darker version.
A personal ReShade preset for XCOM 2.
It was specifically made for dark environments but it also looks good in most brighter areas.

NOTE: intended to be used with the base game bloom turned off.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Using the following effects:

ArcaneBloom
NeoBloom
Colourfulness
Curves
FilmicPass
GaussianBlur
LumaSharpen
MagicHDR
Sepia
SMAA
Technicolor2
Tonemap
TrackingRays
Vibrance
ZN_GI
ZN_LC

If it is too bright during day missions (especially city maps) turn off either Bloom and/or TrackingRays in the ReShade preset.

Uploaded new version with reduced excessively bright Bloom, tweaked colours, lowered Lumasharpen strength. Red colours look significantly better and more in line with the base game. Highly saturated lighting maps look more natural. Overall image quality is preserved.
