If Ethan Winters didn't make his hero saving appearance I would have given this half a star
good dlc imo, good ending to the ethan story as well
Some good moments here and there can't save this unnecessary DLC from its pitfalls. Rose is annoying, the dialogue is very cringe, and the story is ultimately pointless. I can appreciate what they were going for with the whole "Alice in Wonderland" vibe but there's not enough good here. Whatever is here, however, still made my time somewhat worthwhile but overall, this DLC was poorly handled. I can't really recommend it.
“Hey let’s just reuse the same locations and same puzzles and add some new half baked game mechanic”-every triple A dev team when making a DLC ‘story’ expansion since 2013
Maybe DLCs like this are fun only if you play them in the month window after they come out but they age awfully because you finish the main game load up the DLC to find out its story and you just have to play the same stuff again but more undercooked and just worse quality with one new annoying gameplay mechanic that doesn’t gel with the rest of the game.
And a character walking speed that makes the whole game feel so sluggish
Also if the base game was silent hill 1 inspired this is clearly silent hill 3 but without any of the pop punk y2k grit and style and nuance.

It's nice to reset your progress so you can feel powerless again and the way they reused the original map is very creative. The story is a little too silly for my taste tho.
Uninspired, bullet-sponge enemies, flat boss fights, an annoying "hold button to use a power to do a simple thing" time-wasting mechanic that AAA games love to do for some reason, and a pretty empty storyline (until the end) which frustratingly does nothing more than the base game to set up a sequel. It's a bland character study with blander gameplay, though because it reuses the base game's locations, a few flashes of that goofy magic remains, and if nothing else, it provides some closure to Village's somewhat abrupt ending of the Winters' storyline. Fails as an action game, middling as a horror game, and maybe slightly above average as a character piece (sadly), but if you have any interest in RE7 or *8* lore, it has some nice touches.
