You might want to hold off for a year if you want to play this on the rift or vive. Sony paid for the mode to be exclusive to PSVR for a year :disappointed:.

It feels more like the first game but in first person and with a more involved story. I am loving it and Resi 4 was one of my favourite games ever.

It's much more like the early RE games than RE4, especially RE1/the remake. You are mostly confined to one environment which you will explore and slowly gain access to new areas through solving puzzles, progressing the story, etc. RE4 had a more traditional level-based design where you progressed through multiple environments which you rarely returned to, whereas this is more about exploring one big environment and gradually unlocking it's interlinking paths as you work your way through the game.

The actual gameplay is also much more similar to the early titles as well, with low ammo supplies, a bigger focus on inventory management, and often the need to flee enemy encounters rather staying and fighting (although both styles are possible, often saving ammo is a better idea).

It's a nice blend of some of the more modern first-person horror games (Alien: Isolation, Amnesia, Outlast) while also being true to the RE roots and not just being a "hide in a closet" simulator like some of those titles. You can always fight back, but enemies are powerful and ammo is fairly scarce. The story is pretty interesting and draws a lot of inspiration from 70s/80s horror films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Evil Dead. Most of all though, it's pretty refreshing for a RE storyline.

I haven't completed it yet so I wouldn't like to say exactly how much I like it just yet, but it's a fun game.

​I'm glad you said that, I was going to wait until payday. I just bought it and it was £26.87.

£26.82 now. and bought.
