Primary goal:
This  preset removes too much blue and red blur, add contrast, sharpness, making the shadows darker and colors less cartoon, saturation аnd bright; slightly changes gamma setting. All adjustments give the impression that you used the texture mode.In any case it is better to see the difference in the screenshots and video comparison.

Update (02/04/2016): Real Vision ReShade Cinematic V1.6 (ONLY for ReShade 2.0)
Recently my friends joked that  "squad in these colorful armors looks like a team of snowboarders or ski jumpers who are going to take rest at weekend (lacking only boards and ski instead weapons), but not like people who ready to fight or die. And some gloomy areas are like an amusement park with bright banners and tons of colorful lamps."

Changes:
So this preset is a mix of my previous versions with adding FilmicPass shader, which allows make colors slightly faded (not disappearing, like " Monochrome" effect), with less contrast and picture getting more "lighter" and "cinematic".

This version can be used ONLY with latest ReShade 2.0.
Why do I suggest trying to use Reshade 2.0? I think the new ReShade 2.0 Assistant is the easiest way to make your own presets and changes in any game.

Before installing:

IMPORTANT !!!
 If  used  previous ReShade 1.1.0, you MUST delete (make back up) these files from your  <...>\ XCOM 2 \ Binaries \ Win64:            - Reshade folder
- Reshade.fx
              - d3d11.dll or dxgi.dll
             If you do not, ReShade 2.0 will not work (new preprocessor incompatible with these old files)

Installation:

1. Download ReShade  2.0 (homepage)
                    2. Download Real Vision Reshade Cinematic v.1.6.7z
                    3. Follow the links below to do everything correctly:
            - ReShade 2.0 Assistant Tutorial
- Installing ReShade 2.0 
(the second video shows installing preset for The Elder Scrolls Online, but the principle is the same)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For those who still have questions about installing, I suggest using this quick guide:

1. Create a folder in ANY PLACE WHERE YOU WANT (on Desktop, for example) and rename it like you want
2. Extract the official Reshade 2.0 into this folder
3.  Extract the Real Vision Reshade Cinematic v.1.6.7z INTO THE SAME FOLDER where you extracted official Reshade 2.0 and overwrite files
4. Run Reshade Assistant.exe
5. Open the "Profiles" tab in Reshade Assistant, click "+" at the top of the application and find your XCom2.exe (<....> \ XCOM 2 \ Binaries \ Win64); then hit select and "Open"
6. In the "Profiles" tab, select dxgi , then click "Confirm" and "Save"
7. Open the "Presets" tab, select <Real_Vision_Reshade_Cinematic> and click "Save" and "Confirm"
8. Open the "Shaders" tab, click "Save" and "Confirm"

And that's it!

                     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------                   
Check it after installing: only two new files must appear in your <...>\ XCOM 2 \ Binaries \ Win64:          
             -dxgi.dll                 
 - Reshade.fx 

Default is the SCROLL LOCK key.
To change the key, open the Profile Settings tab in ReShade Assistant and edit line RESHADE_TOGGLE_KEY  VK_SCROLL
Testing on my W10(64) shows it's work fine.

Several links to comparison screenshots (Vanilla vs. Real Vision Reshade Cinematic) with "before and after" slider:

====================================================================================
 
Update (20/03/2016): Real Vision ReShade No Blur V1.5 (based on Real Vision ReShade Grafics Enhancement V1.1) 
Changes: added group of shaders (Clarity, BilateralFilter, ColorFilter) which allows further clean up the image from blurring.
Several links to comparison screenshots with "before and after" slider:
 1. Compare A
 2. Compare B
 3. Compare C
 4. Compare D
 5. Compare E
 6. Compare F
  7. Compare G 
 8. Compare H
9. Compare I

Installation: First of all, you need to install version 1.0. Then extract the ReShade folder to the < ... > \ XCOM 2 \ Binaries \ Win64, merge it with the existing ReShade folder and overwrite files.
 Default is the SCROLL LOCK key.

To enable/disable filters separately from the basic version, edit the file ioFX.cfg and change the key SCROLL:
- line 47  #define Clarity_ToggleKey VK_SCROLL //[undef] //           
- line 60  #define BilateralFilterr_ToggleKey VK_SCROLL //[undef] //
 - line 110 #define Filter_ToggleKey VK_SCROLL //[undef] //,                
detailed description below.

=================================================================================

Update (05/03/2016): Real Vision ReShade SSAO Boost V1.4
 Changes: added SSAO. It can be used in any version.
 In some locations the SSAO in-game setting is almost invisible or too vague, so I decided to slightly increase the effect (added several .gif screenshots for more visual)

Installation: First of all, you need to install version 1.0. Then extract two files from the archive v1.4 :
1) McFX.cfg - drop into < ... > \ XCOM 2 \ Binaries \ Win64 \ ReShade folder and overwrite it.
2) SSAO.h - drop into < ... > \ XCOM 2 \ Binaries \ Win64 \ ReShade \ McFX folder and overwrite it.
You can enable or disable SSAO shader separately from the basic version which you use (or maybe someone wants to use it with vanilla - just turn off the basic version, but the SSAO shader will continue to run). Press DELETE to turn SSAO effect On / Off in game (you'll see a message «AO_Tech enabled\disabled.»)
To change the key edit McFX.сfg ( line 30 << #define AO_ToggleKey VK_DELETE //[undef] //- >>) - detailed description below.

This is not the same as version 1.1, but I tried to get a minimum difference between them without settings, which are lost frames. Performance cost 0...2 fps
Installation: First of all, you need to install version 1.0. Then unzip file from the archive v1.2L, drop into < ... > \ XCOM 2 \ Binaries \ Win64 \ ReShade folder and overwrite it.

=====================================================================================
