  Separate Ways is easy to recommend. The price is right, the length is nearly perfect, and everything I loved about the original is still here. The boss fights are fun and the story being fleshed out is appreciated. I cannot recommend this enough. A must have for fans and anyone who enjoys a solid single player action game in general.

  Separate Ways is a large, high-quality and solid expansion, into which a lot of effort was invested, and where there was a place for its own secrets, costumes, accessories and bonuses. Separate Ways is almost an exemplary example of how add-ons should be done.

  Resident Evil 4: Separate Ways does everything a smaller DLC should be doing. It expands the story in an interesting way, whilst delivering the same high-quality cinematics and gameplay. There are some reused assets for sure, but they are used in such a creative and interesting way that it’s not a detriment to the experience.

  8.0

  As with Resident Evil 4, Separate Ways looks and sounds great. The graphics, textures, and lighting are excellent, and the creepy, sinister sound design stands out, as always. If there's one drawback, audio-wise, it's the voice performance of Lily Gao, who brings Ada to life. Ada Wong has always been enigmatic, aloof, and a touch imperious — which is part of what makes her so interesting — but in this DLC she sounds indifferent, even bored.

  Separate Ways is a fantastic addition to Resident Evil 4 Remake and really cements its place as one of the series’ best. Add in some unexpected nods to wider aspects of Resident Evil lore and you have a DLC that works both as extra content to the main game and wider fan service too. If you enjoyed the RE4 Remake then this DLC is pretty much an essential purchase.

  Separate Ways isn’t wholly unique, however. Ada has many of the same combat scenarios as Leon, and while getting to see memorable moments from a new perspective is fun, it doesn’t reexamine the story or action in an impactful way. The DLC functions as a fun extension of the main game but isn’t one to play in lieu of the primary adventure. But any excuse to play more Resident Evil 4 remake is one I am eager to attach my grappling hook to and fly toward.
