Coming hot on the heels of the hit 2023 horror action game "Hot Man Shoots Ganados", Capcom pushes the envelope once again with the follow-up "Hot Woman Shoots Ganados". Truly, we are living a golden age for the medium, an age of bewildering innovation.

As a GameCube owner, which, you'll remember, was the platform to which the original RE4 was exclusive, Separate Ways was always out of reach, making it impossible to judge how the remake fares in regards to recreating it. As someone who deeply enjoyed RE4 Remake, however, Separate Ways makes for the perfect excuse to pick it back up for another playthrough or three. It follows Ada Wong on her assignment to retrieve the Amber, offering another perspective on the events of the game. Ada plays much like Leon does, but has a few extra tricks up her sleeve, such as a grappling hook to close distances or get to the high ground. Thus, her DLC bears a degree of freshness for people who already know RE4 Remake like the back of their hands (it's me, I'm people).

It's also surprisingly lengthy and well-paced for what's supposed to be a side story DLC priced at $10. An absolute must have for all fans of the base game.
