"An uninspired retread of Resident Evil Village&s;s best moments, which squanders the opportunity to experiment or provide a hint about the franchise&s;s future."

"The expansion of the Winters is an interesting addition, although it pales in comparison to what Capcom did with Resident Evil 7. It includes much less content, less varied and surprising. And it&s;s a shame, because Capcom had enough to …"

"What stole the show is Shadows of Rose. An emotional, heartbreaking story that doesn&s;t let up and is one of the better DLC we have received for any Resident Evil title."

"Resident Evil Village: Winters Expansion offers new ways to play the original, and Shadows of Rose is pretty good, but is quite short and didn&s;t leave me satisfied by the time the credits rolled."
