Pros
Pro Gameplay that promotes experimenting
Want to crash the moon into earth just to see what happens, you can do that. Create a black hole y the Sun, you can do that too. Just about anything the player can imagine can be done in the game just to see what the outcomes will be, which is fun in and of itself but also quite informative.
Pro Partially supports VR
While missing some components like screen overlay Assetto Corsa is not fully playable while using VR, though it is still a coll concept to toy around with.
Pro Mods, mods, mods
One of the best features of Assetto Corsa is its mod support. The unlimited variety mods bring for car and track selection is already astounding and will only get better with time.
Pro Supports 900 degree rotation of gaming wheel
Assetto Corsa supports gaming wheels and 900 degree rotation while using them. What is even more enjoyable is that the cockpit view animates 1:1 with the rotations of the players gaming wheel while used.
Cons
Con Time settings are not explained well
The user can speed up or slow down time, though the tool to do so is not explained well, leaving the user guessing as to what they are doing.
Con Single player is a bit lackluster
The single player mode for Assetto Corsa has all the expected components for a racing game, earning medals in one tier of racing to advance to the next, but still all in all feels a bit thin. Being that the official release is only 1.0 hopefully there will be more added to the game in the future.
