After so many days of waiting, Resident Evil Village fans finally got their hands on Winters’ Expansion, this can be considered the final chapter in the journey of Ethan Winter who helped revive the RE series after a failure. and disoriented.
Winters’ Expansion is a piece that RE Village is missing
Although it’s only one expansion pack, Winters’ Expansion contains many worthwhile additions to different aspects of Resident Evil Village, which will delight RE fans including myself. For example, the game has added a 3rd person perspective (but capcom doesn’t allow us to see Ethan’s face even though I tried very hard to turn the camera towards his face), balancing Mercenaries modes makes it interesting. more lead. Of course, it is impossible not to mention the content of Shadows of Rose, where we will follow Ethan’s daughter: Rose Winter on a journey to penetrate the world of Mold (should be translated as fungus or mold but a bit weird. so I’ll leave the original), in order to find a way to get rid of the superpowers she has in her. It sounds a bit strange, but Rose had a not very happy childhood without a father, she was shunned and bullied by her friends because she thought she was a mutant. But Rose did not expect everything to be an extremely malicious plot concocted to deprive her of her power. If there’s anything I don’t like, the roles of Rose’s clones are too muted (I was expecting them to play a more important role in the plot this time).
Winters’ Expansion has a much more horror atmosphere
In terms of storyline Winters’ Expansion in general and Shadows of Rose act as both the end of a journey and a transition. When it will end the branch of the story born in part 7 but also open up many new directions with a character to inherit the fire that Ethan lit (Rose). This expansion has a play time not too long, only 3-4 hours and does not introduce many new areas, but most of you will be able to visit the main areas in RE Village. These areas will be slightly altered because it is under the influence of an entity called Black God so gamers feel both strange and familiar (what I like the most are some of the reminiscent levels. other horror games). Even I find this part familiar not only thanks to the game screen but also to the enemies because these Face-Eaters, despite their strange appearance, they have a way of attacking that is not too different from the Zombie zombies. in previous games. Not to mention Winters’ Expansion brings a more creepy, horror atmosphere than the original. Letting Rose be the main character also gives the game team the opportunity to add new abilities, the most notable of which is the ability to destroy Mold cores to help open up new paths thereby increasing the game’s exploration. so many. You can even use this ability to stun and slow enemies to create momentum for combos with different weapons. This can save you loads of ammunition which is now extremely scarce. During the game you will be exposed to an entity named ‘Michael’, this entity will provide ammunition, advice to Rose. And you should enjoy these moments because it’s like the calm before each storm, because the game still retains the design of its predecessors, before each boss is the time when you are given good ammunition. much. If you have any advice, try playing the DLC in 3rd person because these two things seem to be made for each other, but for the main game, the 3rd person view proved a bit out of breath. bring many limitations in movement, attack, ….
Maybe most gamers only pay attention to the Shadows of Rose part in Winter’s Expansion, but there is a much-loved mode that is also added a lot, which is Additional Orders (Mercenaries). Now next to Ethan will be Chris, with a very different gameplay than the main character because of his possession of a series of new weapons and skills. Besides Chris, two other characters were also added, Karl Heisenberg and Alcina Dimitrescu and two new levels ‘The Bloody Village’ and ‘The Bloody River’ gathered together the characters in the same setting to make the atmosphere in RE becomes much more vibrant.
