Pros
Pro Relaxing freeplay gameplay
There is no set task from the outset of the game, it is up to the player where they would like to go and what they would like to do. Luckily there is a lot to explore thanks to the open world. You can hunt and gather for survival as well as play mini game or collect items. As you explore the world you will run into other creatures who you can interact with as well as take on tasks for. All in all it is up to the player how the game is played, which is quite liberating and allows for a low stress environment.

Pro Allows for a full range of head movement
Weightless is recommended to be played in a swivel chair or while standing as the VR environment of a space station goes in a full 360 degrees. This allows the player to completely turn their heads in any direction while still being immersed in the games environment.
Cons
Con Current information on the game is dated
The game appears to have been greenlit on Steam and plans have been announced for ports on consoles as well. There is a gamejam demo available for free on Steam Greenlight as well as the Immersive Learning Center, but any beta version seems to be absent at this time. All info on the game seems to have stopped in 2015 and nothing new has been announced, even on the developers Twitter. Currently their domain page is gone as well. It is unknown if this project is still being developed at this time.
Con Limited experience
Basically you can hit a few buttons and play around with a few objects as they float in a weightless environment. While interesting to play around with, it may loose its appeal pretty quickly.
Con Not really a game
More an app or experience as there is no objective, it is meant as a way to experience manipulating objects in a weightless environment. Somewhat a sandbox, so will provide some entertainment, just not in the same way most videogames are understood to deliver.
