Pros
Pro Beautiful presentation
The title used photo realistic graphics in order to fully represent the realism of climbing Mt. Everest. Something that is heightened by the fact that this is a VR title, giving the feeling that you are really there. What is cool about this is that climbing this mountain is not something many will ever experience due to cost and fitness ability, but now anyone can experience it. While obviously not close to the real thing, even at a fraction of that experience, it is something to behold.
Pro Extremely creepy/scary atmosphere

Pro Fully a complete self contained game
When many games for VR are considered tech demos or early access, Brookhaven is actually a finished title, complete with a story and an ending. While normally this is not much of a feat, to sell a finished game, currently VR does not offer a ton of titles that are feature and story complete.
Cons
Con Very short
More a tech demo over an actual game. While there is an experience to be had, the gameplay itself is quite simple and very short, lasting under an hour from start to finish.
Con Can feel repetitive
Wave after wave of enemy, while being forced to basically being forced to stand in one place can not only feel a bit unnatural, but also quite repetitive, as there is little to change up this scenario in the game. While the stages can be quite different, offering a good bit change to the scenery, the gameplay itself stays the same throughout.
