Nice little bundle that adds some real meat to Village, but it’s not essential unless you already love the base game. Shadows of Rose is the highlight: a solid, creepy side story that leans more into psychological horror and ties up the Winters arc in a satisfying way, even if it reuses a lot of locations.
Third-person mode is a cool addition that changes the feel of Village more than you’d expect, making replays feel fresher and a bit more classic-RE. The extra Mercenaries content is fun, especially if you’re into score-chasing, but it’s more garnish than main course.
Overall, it’s a good expansion that meaningfully extends Village, but not quite a “must-play” unless you’re invested in the Winters family storyline.
8.5/10 – Strong story DLC and smart extras that enrich Village without fully reinventing it.
