(mini-review).

This is what expansion packs should be like. Not only does the DLC bring a fantastic camera mode change, which breathes new life into the RE: Village base game, but it also provides you with a 4 or so hour long campaign that has plenty of pluck, heart and tries several new things. Is the DLC as long as Separate Ways? No. But, unlike RE: 4's tired DLC, Shadows of Rose introduces powers, puzzling, stealth and a host of new enemies, environments and abilities. Unlike Separate Ways, Shadows of Rose doesn't feel like a photocopy of Village, but instead is more frenetic and panic-inducing, as Rose is neither a brawler nor accomplished marksman. The game is every bit as frightening as Village and perhaps more so.

No, the DLC isn't perfect. It's a bit pricey for four hours (unless you get it for $10 on sale in which case it's perfectly fine). The story is also predictable (as if Separate Ways wasn't), but Shadows of Rose is a treat for people that enjoyed the 2021 game of the year.

Highly Recommended.

9/10.
