I genuinely love seeing creative reuse of assets and Shadows of Rose has that in spades. The story is much stronger from a vibes point of view rather than presenting any groundbreaking plot developments. A nice little remix of Village proper.

Ethan's strongest attribute is still the fact that he absolutely fucking LOVES being a dad which is such a refreshing take in a market that's saturated with stories about kids who have a tumultuous relationship with their parental figures. I do think Capcoms refusal to show Ethans face has crossed over into farcical territory now though. The lengths they go to to hide it made me laugh in what was supposed to be an emotional father-daughter reunion. Oh well. It's a stylistic choice and I can't resent them for sticking to it!

I hope we'll see more of Rose. She's a sweetheart.

Resi Village Third Person mode is a neat little addition and was a nice excuse to visit the main story again. A fairly solid DLC package overall.
