I really liked it!

To me, this is what I wanted End of Zoe in RE7 to be. The beginning of the DLC was a throwback to classic Resident Evil with limited ammo and mobility, and I absolutely loved that. The addition of Rose's powers having limited ammo was a nice touch, as it added even more strategy to the gameplay. Honestly, if the whole DLC was just this type of survival horror, I would probably consider it as one of my favorites.

The problems come from the rest of the DLC. The section in House Bienvenido went on way too long, and I feel like it reused way too much from the base game. It felt like padding in an already short DLC, and it really hampered my enjoyment.

The final boss with Miranda was fantastic though, and is one of my new favorite final fights in the franchise. The added abilities has me very excited for the future of RE if they continue with Rose.

The story was mostly predictable and at times a little too sappy, but I'm not gonna lie I still really enjoyed it. I just love Ethan too much as a character, that anything to do with him I will adore.

It's a shame that the middle of the DLC holds this back because if it wasn't for House Bienvenido being a slog, and the rampant reuse, we could of had a winner on our hands.
