Many Resident Evil games have gained praise for adding a ton of replayability to the campaigns, and Resident Evil 4 Remake offers a lot in this regard. Thanks to features like New Game Plus, you can retain most of the progress from your first playthrough but make things different by unlocking Accessories.
