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 You really have to aim
Pro Beautiful graphics
Unmatched graphics with wonderful lighting effects and water.
Cons
Con Starts to get monotonous
Go to another area, face another large rush of zombies, find key, go to next area, repeat. There's even one scene close to the end where the character says, "what's the point? This just keeps going on and on."
