Pros
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 Abysmal Homeworld 1 Remaster
Homeworld 1's engine was not updated, instead the assets were ported into the Homeworld 2 remastered engine. This introduced a lot of bugs in singleplayer and destroyed Homeworld 1's critical gameplay elements (e.g. physics simulation and formations). The original voice actors were rehired to redo their lines 17 years later and they now sound worse than the first time.
If you want to play Homeworld 1, you are better off avoiding this remaster - it is not the same game at all.
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.
