plus your short changing the story, it actually is fairly good, and the voice acting is also good

 

RE4 had no strafing, which I loved.

OT: Some people will like a game and some people won't. Some people will find it amazing and some will think it sucks.

 

so it is Resident Evil 4 in space, with strafing! not exactly a massive difference, the general feel of the combat is still very similar as is the general world design, as in connecting corridors, quick timer enemy escape, a similar weapon upgrade system (the nodes aren't that big of a difference than just directly paying for upgrades),

the game has a whole lot of similarities and may feel more like a sequel to RE4 than RE5 will
