Amazing game with a very addictive gameplay loop. It does feel much like a tech demo for what's to come. A 10/10 would need these things, however:
-Add in voice acting
-Add more older Pokemon
-Bring back missing moves
-Bring back trainer battes
-Bring back online battling
-Bring back EXP Share On/Off Toggle
-Fix the pop in and tidy up jagged models
-Combine the large areas into one big open world; add towns with Gym leaders that can be battled in any order

Been playing RE4 VR lately. Here's some notes:
-Movement is ridiculously fast and versatile. Leon runs at least 50% faster than his original run speed, and you can be slicing an enemy on the ground with one hand while aiming your gun at another enemy walking toward you due to the whole "two hands" thing. I think a "run speed" option to tone it down should be added in.
-Turning off the red dot sight instantly made the game more fun.
-The "ballistics" line being cut is just as awful and jarring as people say. Ashley looks like a complete jerk.
-I've noticed a few nerfs/buffs, including being able to hit Ashley with your knife once or twice before she dies. Also, the bookshelves you push in front of the windows during the cabin sequence are about 300% stronger and last FOREVER.
-If you've beaten RE4 a shit ton, the beginning won't have THAT much of an impact on you until around the cabin sequence. Now I'm starting to get a little scared.
-Left handed options are good but you can't remap the Action button to the right hand. This results in constantly sliding your hand up and down the controller to kick, jump over, catch, etc.
-I feel like grenades are kinda...broken? I've never successfully grabbed a grenade properly when I needed it most. May be the left handed option though.
-The QTE camera definitely brings you out of the immersion too. The cutscenes probably should have been in first person as well. A lot more love could've gone into it to be honest.
-Switching guns (handgun to Magnum and shotgun to rifle) is still as wack as the OG RE4. There definitely could have been a work around with all the buttons you have access to.
Overall, loving it still, just needs more options in how to play it.
