Overall and it’s fair to criticise Capcom for not including the extra content into the main game, especially with it being available just a few days later, but the content on offer is certainly enough to have me feeling happy with my Season Pass.

Overview

This newly unearthed footage exposes further secrets from the dark past of the Baker family: - Escape a bedroom turned prison cell in "Bedroom" Where would the Baker family be without Marguerite's good ol' home cooking? Having woken up restrained in bed with one of her horrifying meals before you, you must find a way to escape without her noticing. - Fight off waves of bloodthirsty enemies in "Nightmare" Tossed into a basement crawling with lurching black Molded, your only chance is to shoot your way to survival. Keep moving, keep your wits about you, and keep hope alive, and maybe you can survive until morning… - Extra game mode: "Ethan Must Die" Unlike the banned footage chapters, which are linked directly to the main story of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, "Ethan Must Die" hurls you into an entirely separate universe where the Baker mansion has been remade: It is now a trap-laden house of horrors designed to kill any intruder. Prepare yourself for the ultimate challenge!

If you expect interesting storyline from Banned Footage Vol. 1, you should simply skip it. However, if you're after a few hours of arcade entertainment, you'll be satisfied.
By individually ramping up areas where Resident Evil 7's gameplay could’ve done more, Banned Footage Vol. 1 serves a light yet savory plate of pickings, which pile up the puzzles on one side and bring the heat with testing trials on the other.
Sadly it's all too brief and only stands up to one playthrough, realistically. I'd definitely be up for a dedicated bundle of a half dozen vignettes like this, though. It utilises and clearly understands exactly what it has in Resi 7's best element – the twisted Baker family – and keeps its hands clean of the excess that characterises Resi 7's final...
Resident Evil 7's first DLC, Banned Footage Vol. 1, lies somewhere between must-have and… meh. Everyone will find something to like here, it's just that it would be nice if this something was a bit longer than two to three hours long.
