"Resident Evil Village Winters&s; Expansion adds some more content to the game. But it&s;s mostly all rehashed and overpriced."
Read original review"Solid and definitely have an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun."
Read original review"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."
Read original review"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."
