Shadows of Rose review:
Shadows of Rose is a really great DLC and concludes the Winters Saga and Ethan Story especially. The locations you go through are edited enough so that the experience is not the same as in the main story, but don't expect seeing brand-new views left and right. It was cool to see the Duke again and the Beneviento house had some genuinely spooky moments. One thing that particularly stood out to me was Rose herself. She's such a great character and her abilities are really interesting. You experience how Rose struggles with her powers and her own body and hates herself because of it. You also find out how hard her childhood was/is because she's "different". At the end she accept herself for what she is and that it's okay to be different. Such a strong message, which I didn't expected at all in a Resi DLC.
The section where you visit the Winter's old house and find all those memories and Ethan's letter in particular was really emotional. That whole section made me tear up quite a bit.
I have to say it again, Ethan really is universe's best Dad.
All this effort just to not show his face, kinda hilarious.
The Mercenaries Additional Orders:
I'm not a fan of the Mercenaries mode, I only played it for the Platinum trophy but if you enjoyed the concept of Mercenaries Village-style, then the Winter's Expansion should be a treat. The new characters are a really cool addition.
