Separate Ways is so good that it makes other Resident Evil games look worse by comparison. It’s hard to believe that this campaign was only $10 when Resident Evil 3 Remake, a game of similar length yet far less satisfying, was full price just three years ago. It’s even more surprising that just last year we were playing Shadows of Rose, a lightweight, uninspiring retread of Resident Evil Village that similarly tried to make old locales feel new again, but failed to match the quality of the base game. Separate Ways is more like a Resident Evil 2-style parallel campaign than a bonus DLC, and it’s been given the level of polish and care it deserves. Separate Ways has always been essential to the RE4 experience, but the remake elevates it to the quality of a standalone Resident Evil game. And at just $10, it might be the best value in gaming this year.

Separate Ways is easily one of the biggest budget add-on expansion packs to release this year, adding more high-quality content to the already stacked 60+ hour package of Resident Evil 4 (2023). For AUD $15, it’s honestly a no-brainer if you enjoyed the base game and want more survival-horror goodness to enjoy (and a sneak peak at where this reboot Resident Evil universe is heading).

a very well-built DLC with Ada who is a very well-built character as well, recommended to play it as soon as you finish the main game.

If Resident Evil 4 is a crown, Separate Ways is the jewel that complements it, and thus we can close this arc that will probably lead us to a new version of the fifth main game of this franchise.

Fleshing out the story of Resident Evil 4 while adding new mechanics and challenges, Separate Ways is everything you could ask for in an expansion. But what’s really impressive here is just how much there is to it. This is an essential purchase for any Resident Evil fan, offering yet more intense encounters and atmospheric bouts of exploration. Capcom could have just called this in, but instead it’s delivered an offering that’s better than some full games. Indeed, we’re left wondering if we prefer this to the actual main campaign of Resident Evil 4. That’s how good it is.

Separate Ways is a worthy counterpart to Resident Evil 4's fantastic story, providing an excellent remix of both new and familiar locations, and its breakneck pace of pitting you against excellent adversaries never leaves room for a dull moment.

Larger and more ambitious than the content from which it originated, Strade Diverse is the perfect excuse to return to the world of the Resident Evil 4 remake. Whether it is to discover the new plot implications, or the way in which Capcom has given more value to the grappling hook and reinterpreted some prominent creatures, any fan of the series should experience this thrill ride, also given an absolutely accessible ticket price. Grab your grappling hook and dust off your crossbow: Ada Wong is waiting for you!

Resident Evil 4 Remake: Separate Ways is just as fun to play as Resident Evil 4 Remake was, although it's much shorter. There are some great set-pieces and moments of camp that you won't find in any other series, and it is nice that Capcom is at least giving Ada and Wesker to the base game's Mercenaries mode for free. But. This whole part of the game used to be free. This was an add-on, a bonus, something Capcom initially packaged in with Resident Evil 4 on the PlayStation 2. All you had to do was beat the game once - there was no extra money involved.

One of the best DLCs ever made, and just perfect when you keep the original game in mind.

You literally fight the same bosses from the base game. The couple bosses that are original aren't that good. Some of the sections are like an exact repeat of the base game. I played the original, then played the remake, and now I'm playing the same thing a third time as DLC and its stale. The puzzles are 5th grade level except for one which is pretty cool. Ada is poorly voice acted. Every time I saw Leon I wanted to pick up the adventure where he was going. What a rehash. I dont care that its the same length as the RE3 remake. The RE3 Remake was bad so comparing favorable to it in length because your game is full of filler means almost nothing. This is an asset dump. What's the big deal with this DLC? They should rename it Simps for Ada.

i'm a hardcore fan of Resident evils and back in the days Capcom was best .complete story unlock unlimited ammo but now you have to do the hardest difficulty with a S+ rank to. any real gamers know games are for fun not to "tryhard" at most you should have EVERYTHING unlocked by completing normal with a S+ for real gamers who play for fun again not "tryharding" as the saying goes. "if it isn't broken don't try to fix it" games from Capcom are great outstanding 10/10 like 95% but lately i have huge issues to unlock everything complete the game on hardest difficulty with a S+ nah. it's because of this issue i feel i'm missing out on like half the games content and i'm slowly hating the games and turning away please sort it Capcom. put different unlocks behind rank NOT the difficulty

Terrible DLC , Lacks Resident Evil feeling , it's just cat woman with terrible voice actor and personality based on horror environment , it's only deserve 4 for me.

I can't recommend this since it is only dlc that was in the original game at launch suggest picking this up on discount since the resident evil games go on sale relatively quickly and for decent prices at that.
