It really is just RE4 VR.

Overall the game's quite easier from the fact that you directly are the one handling the reloading, knife slashing, and aiming. If you have played vr shooters before and are fast with the hand movements involved with that, you can always reload just in time to land a stagger shot, slash quick enough to kill a ganado before they get back up, or pull off a snap shot on a ganado that's snuck up on you.
It's much easier to avoid damage in this game especially with the fact that you aren't tied to the tank controls anymore, although you can enable something similar to that old control scheme if you'd like.

I have a small gripe with the item management where due to the way you grab items and they automatically get put into your inventory, you can't do on the fly inventory management when your shits all full up. You can't pick up an herb and combine it when the game puts you into the inventory screen anymore cause in this it just plays a noise and says "inventory full". Slightly annoying but nothing big.

A big thing is the fact that they took out the extra game modes. Now I didn't really care for Assignment:Ada and tbh I don't know many people who did, but did they really have to take out Separate Ways and Mercenaries? That's just corny. At least mercenaries would've been nice to give some extra shit to do aside from just replaying the main game.

The camera does shift perspective when doing some actions and that's to appease the stomachlets who got into vr but it doesn't really bother me too much, although it would be cool to shake off a ganado that's right in your face.

I don't care about the minor censorship considering this is my 7th playthrough of RE4 and I just skip every cutscene so it's not like I'd notice the censorship if I were never told about it.

Overall, it's nice. It's competently made in the sense that it's just RE4's main campaign in VR. They could've done more with this but what we have is pretty damn good. I'll definitely do a Professional run of this whenever I'm done with the main game.

Krauser is even easier to fight now

Well they added Mercenaries, costume special 2, the handcannon, and the tommy so that's cool. The scoring for mercenaries is a bit different but that's a nonissue. They also added a bunch of gimmick challenges which aren't too difficult and can be pretty enjoyable. Still no Separate Ways though and its probably not coming, whatever.
