As someone who didn't play the original Resident Evil 4 when it came out, I was still very excited to play the remake because I've been a big fan of Capcom's Resident Evil remakes so far and I had high expectations for it, and hoo boy...
Just like in every other Resident Evil game I've played, the story is not good at all. However, I'm impressed by how perfectly well-paced the plot and the gameplay is in this game; it's constantly exciting and enjoyable from the beginning till the end.
Talking about the gameplay, it's absolutely excellent! The shooting, the survival horror elements, the action and set-pieces, the mechanics, the weapon and item variety, the quality of life improvements over the previous Resident Evil games; everything is wonderful! Even the puzzles are very decent.
Although, I got to say, I found the game to be unexpectedly difficult at times, but it's not a big deal because the game is so enjoyable to play, it's honestly hard to put the controller down.
And even though the story is not good, the characters are surprisingly likable and interesting.
Also, unlike in the other Resident Evil games I've played, the bosses in Resident Evil 4 are really fun for the most part, especially towards the end.
Last but not least, the audio and the graphics are simply breathtaking!
As for Separate Ways, it's a very good addition to an already outstanding videogame experience.
Pros:

+ Addictive gameplay
+ Good characters
+ Very cool bosses
+ Gorgeous visuals
+ Great DLC
