Pros
Pro Fluid movement
Unlike a lot of Vive games that rely on teleportation, Onward has fluid locomotion using the gamepad. This makes the gameplay a lot more realistic, especially given it's a multiplayer military sim.
Pro Very realistic military sim
Everything from the sounds, how you reload and fire your weapon to the graphic for the map all come together to create a highly realistic and immersive military simulation. It's like ARMA in VR.
Pro Great communication
The built-in mic on the Vive makes team communication a key component of this game. It's also very realistic as it's just how a military squad would communicate over radio.
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 Short
Currently the game is only 18 holes of golf, though there is a promised level editor in the works.
