Winters' Expansion offers a few more hours of entertainment to Resident Evil Village fans. Shadows of Rose is a good addition to the main story and The Mercenaries mini-game has its best iteration in years. Unfortunately, a mediocre implementation of the 3rd person mode and the steep price of admission, detract from its overall value.

While Resident Evil Village: Winters’ Expansion didn’t expand on the story as much as I would’ve liked, it was still a thrilling addition to the Winters’ saga. The many gameplay additions and the return to the most beloved locations of the base game make this a DLC worthy of purchase.
Shadows of Rose, like Rose herself, is short and sweet. This standalone story can be completed in a single sitting and offers a glimpse at Village’s most horrific settings through a new lens. And while brief, segments of this DLC are some of the most terrifying ever seen throughout the entire Resident Evil series. So if you enjoyed exploring Village,...
Overall, the Resident Evil Village’s Winters Expansion comes with more than enough to make getting it worthwhile.
