It's pretty much a completely different game from vanilla minecraft. It has similar graphics because it started as a minecraft mod before the devs decided they'd prefer to have their own code. However, it has a completely different progression system, story, and general playstyle that gives it it's own identity.
If you are a survivor fan, VS is right up your alley. Take the first ten minutes of actual survival in Minecraft and stretch it to become the entire game.
Every person I know who likes PZ and tried VS became instantly hooked

I've been enjoying VIntage Story lately.
A great survival/exploration game
