Pros
Pro Simple and intuitive controls
The cockpit interface for controlling ones ship (where the majority of the gameplay takes place) is pretty minimal but easy to understand. The player will not be bogged down with too many controls and menus, meaning it is easy to figure out what to do and how to do it.
Pro Good story
For an indie VR title, to see a fleshed out story is a very welcome thing. On top of this it is not a story that has been done to death, while some tropes are recognizable, the overall experience is quite fresh and well thought out.
Pro Pass and Play Multiplayer
Pro Intuitive controls
The game works with a single Vive controller that is held much like a real golf club and to play one swings it just like they would a golf club, which makes for easy to understand controls.
Cons
Con Visuals are at times odd
Objects tend to not have any particular certainty of size. Sometimes a desk may appear as though it is for a child, while other times an object may be way too big for what it is. On top of this the textures when close to objects are not that great. basically it is quite easy to see that there is a lack of polish in the game, while it does not detract from the gameplay itself, it does interfere with the immersiveness of the title.
Con A bit too easy
While there may be some challenge at first, learning how to play the game, once the mechanics are figured out the gameplay itself can be on the easy side.
Con Short
Currently the game is only 18 holes of golf, though there is a promised level editor in the works.
