Pros
Pro Very fun to build and create machines
Thanks to the Vive, building a contraption is incredibly fun and actually feels like you're creating something "real". You can move around your machine to adjust it and add new components in a very natural way.
Pro Encourages creativity
By giving you a task and leaving how you will complete it up to your own devices the game allows for a sense of creativity as well as the feeling of accomplishment.
Pro Cute art style
The art style is cute and when you look at how you look only to see you're a cute animal, it can be quite funny and sweet. You also have a pet cat named Neko that you get your supplies from, and a dog that you press to go to the next level.
Pro Comes free with the vive bundle
Comes free with the Vive bundle, which is a bundle with no additional cost, but has limited stock, so may be difficult to obtain.
Pro Well-ballanced and gradually increasing difficulty level
New towers and abilities are unlocked at a rate that feels natural and not sluggish.
Pro Lots of fun references hidden throughout the game
Though most of the little easter eggs don't do much past an achievement, they really give the game character and make the levels more memorable.
Pro Nice comic style graphic
A little casual-looking though
Pro Extra challenges for every map
Pro Several heroes with unique abilities
Pro Lots of enemies, all of them are described in the in-game encyclopedia
Pro Great sounds and voice acting
Cons
Con Expensive
It's the most expensive game on the Vive costing $39.99. When comparing price to content, there may be better options out there at a lower price.
Con Building can be frustrating and causes a lot of trial and error
It is almost impossible to attach objects completely straight to one another, meaning if you are trying to use multiple wheels, each will be a bit crooked, causing a lot of adjusting and restarting, which can be very frustrating.
Con It is clear that the game was designed for a mobile device
A more convenient way to experience this game is on a tablet, but it is still a great game if played on PC.
