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 Very fun
Pro Control is super intuitive
Being that the users view is controllable with their head, which frees up both hands to control the dual wielded pistols makes for a very intuitive and natural way to play a first person shooter. No longer do you have to have your guns in sight in order to shoot in the direction that you would like.
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 Very little depth
There is not much to do in the game other than shoot robots, it give a Space Invaders type feel, but in VR. This may change in the future since this is an early access game, but currently the game is pretty shallow.
