An expansion for Resident Evil 4

The mission requires secrecy. Failure is not an option. Play as Ada Wong in this additional scenario and experience the events of Resident Evil 4 from her perspective, filling in unanswered questions posed in the main story. In addition to the action available in the base game with Leon, a grappling gun can be used to get to various locations, as well as take down enemies from a distance and launch a ranged melee attack. This allows for a more exciting and fast-paced gameplay experience.

dlc curtinha mais bem frenética mt boa

A good DLC for a not-so-great game.

I won't say spoilers but everything that I complained about not having in the main story is here to my pleasant surprise plus much more. HUGE improvement over the original Separate Ways. It's not just a retelling of Ada's perspective on the events of the game.

well with 1 2 and 4 remake capcom made a good game good, with 3 they made a good game bad, and with this they made a bad game(mode) good which gives me at least a little hope for 5 remake. This is basically the best RE dlc by default because it's not a complete piece of shit, it's actually more of what's good about the main game. I do think they went a little too hard on bringing back fan favourite parts from 4 that weren't in the remake; I'd rather this be more new content, I can just replay og 4 if I want those old sections again (because it still rules). Still this was the least painful DLC to get all achievements for, because even when it was hard it was pretty fun.

better than the main game idc . ada wong the mother that you are

Game Finished In 2024 #12.5?:

Separate Ways is more RE4 Remake. RE4 Remake is great. Everything after this is supplementary.

Separate Ways is one of my favorite types of DLC/side mode: a mode where you play as another character and potentially even get more story out of it. Things like Richter Mode in the Igavanias give me life. Ada has several meaningful changes to differentiate her from Leon, most notably her grappling hook, which has handy use in combat by extending her melee range significantly. She also goes through her own, shorter, set of levels, mainly alternate takes on the areas Leon went through, like going through the trebuchet section backwards. She also gets some sections that were cut from the transition from OG to Remake, such as the fight with U-3, which has been upgraded to an almost rival to Ada, and helps differentiate her playthrough even more. To get through these reworked levels, Ada has her own smaller set of weapons. The weapons have some overlap, and I definitely found myself falling back on the Red9 again, but overall I appreciated the additional tools. Things I learned while playing the base game helped make this mode more enjoyable, and only proves a replay will be what makes RE4R REALLY shine for me. The story also is interesting, luckily, as it shows multiple alternate angles of plot events, like Ada shooting the bell in Village, and gave Luis somehow MORE excellent characterization. Her voice acting even received some improvement. It's still not perfect, but it's better.

Separate Ways is kind of the platonic ideal for DLC like this. It's a meaningful addition to the base game that warrants being played in it's own right, and it doesn't show any signs of compromise. The asset reuse is smart and tactful, and it, like base RE4R, makes me think about when I'll play it next.
