Pros
Pro Relaxing gameplay
Fishing in beautiful landscape makes for a relaxing time. Add to that the stress-free gameplay and you have a game best played for some downtime that will allow you to just relax and enjoy.
Pro Rewarding exploration based gameplay
There is not much in the way of hand holding in the game as many situations can be passed more easily once the payer understands the ins and outs of the game. Things like a green serum not being explained that it helps with a patient bleeding will only be discovered through trial and error, which in the end is rewarding to finally learn all of the mechanics of the game.
Pro Purposefully difficult controls create slapstick humor
In the game the player controls the movements, rotation, raised/lowered stated of the surgeons hand as well as each finger separately. It's purposefully difficult to control the movements of the hand well. The difficulty of controlling actions creates lots of opportunities for slapstick.
Cons
Con Can be difficult to learn how to play
There is little to no tutorial in the game, everything needs to be learned by just playing. This can be frustrating for some players due to time restriction or just limited patience.
Con Can get frustrating
While lack of accuracy of the controls is the main draw of the game it can at times get unnecessarily frustrating.
