Introduction:
Resident Evil 4 marks a new chapter in the Resident Evil series. You rejoin Leon S. Kennedy six years after his first mission as a rookie cop from Resident Evil 2. Leon is on a top-secret mission to investigate the disappearance of the president's daughter, Ashley, from an evil, zombie cult called Los Illuminados. As Leon, you must make your way to a mysterious location in Europe, where new enemies await. Though the game has been ported from the Xbox 360, the controls remain from the original consoles. These can be changed in the settings menu.
Playthrough #1:
With this playthrough, you will get most of the achievements. You can also get the three missable achievements as well. When you finish your first playthrough make sure you save your cleared game data, which will open optional costume sets and professional mode.
The achievements you will earn on this step are:
- "Do Not Shoot The Water"
- "A Rock and a Hard Place"
- "Secure the Ballistics"
- "A Bloodline Severed"
- "A Terrifying Assassin"
- "The Castellan Falls"
- "The Ties That Bind"
- "We're Going Home"
- "What Are They Worth?"
Playthrough #2:
With this step, you want to play Ada’s playthrough, Separate Ways, which is under the "Extras" tab on the Main Menu. Completing Separate Ways will unlock the Special 2 costume set which will make Professional Mode much easier.
The achievement you will earn on this step are:
- "The S Stands for Stylish!!"
Playthrough #3:
Now you have unlocked professional mode and special costume set 2, it’s time to battle the highest difficulty.
The achievement you will earn on this step are:

Mop-Up:
If you have missed any of the achievements, you will have to start a new playthrough as the game does not have a chapter select option.
Conclusion:
Overall, the game should take you about 30 hours to complete. The controls may take a little to get used to, but once you do, it will be fine.
