We’re one boss fight and a few combat encounters into this castle, and we’re still some distance away from the courtyard. Luckily, David Phillips and I are more than capable of taking on whatever Napolean sends our way.
What I appreciate most about this section of the game is the way they frame Ashley as a vital companion that Leon needs in order to keep going against all of these hordes. While she can’t and doesn’t fight, she’s helpful in her own way, able to get to places that Leon himself simply can’t on his own.
I can’t speak for her portrayal in the original game, but in this remake, I grew quite fond of the character over the course of the campaign, and this is largely why.
