![]() Honestly, the Winters’ Expansion seems like it should be sold for closer to $7.50, but absolutely not $20. It sadly doesn’t work for The Mercenaries. Finally, there’s a third-person camera mode available for the main game’s campaign. You can only use these three characters in the same levels that have been available this entire time. Alas, nothing has been added, outside of some minor changes to the mode itself. I was hopeful that this addition would, at the very least, add a version of the mode more like the one included in older games as opposed to the score attack one from Resident Evil Village. On top of that, Chris Redfield, Heisenberg, and Lady Dimitrescu are now playable in the Mercenaries mode. They look terrible next to the other models. Also, at one point a character from RE 7 shows up and their character model isn’t updated at all. I’d go as far as to say that it might actually cheapen that game’s ending. ![]() The story has some narratively powerful moments, but it’s very much a retread of Resident Evil Village proper. She connects to it, only to find more than she bargained for - to use a familiar cliché. In it, an operative known as K tells Rose she can get rid of her powers by connecting to the last remnants of the Megamycete and using something called a purifying crystal. So what exactly will that $20 get you? There’s Shadows of Rose, a short new campaign featuring Ethan and Mia’s daughter. However, the overly steep $20 USD price tag and some serious déja vu make the Winters’ Expansion a bit of a tough sell. I had a decent time with the brief new campaign, and the new characters added to the Mercenaries are fun to play as. What’s here is far from bad, but it’s absolutely lackluster compared to what Capcom offered with its predecessor. With the Winters’ Expansion, Resident Evil Village has finally gotten some DLC of its own. ![]() Resident Evil 7 had some pretty decent DLC, didn’t it? An expansion with a new character and new locales, multiple new modes, the post-launch content added a decent amount to the game. ![]()
