Pros
Pro Detailed physical firearms simulation and physics interactions
This is the core of the game, more a proof of concept as this is all in a sandbox with little to no goals. Interact with objects, wee how they behave and load and fire weapons.
Pro Active development, new weekly content and updates
This is an early access game that is being actively developed meaning new content and bug fixes frequently.
Pro Mini-games, scored/timed target practice w/ local and global leaderboard support
There are a few mini-games included that give some incentive to play after handling and exploring most objects in the game. There is leaderboard support, which also allows for some longevity for those that want to try to get to the top of the charts.
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 No story, only firearm simulation
The gameplay is pretty basic for now, a proof of concept really, but still fun to mess around with.
Con No multiplayer
Single player only as there is no way to play this game with friends.
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.
