Pros
Pro Over the top
The game's artstyle, theme, narration, enemies and even weapon reload animations are satirical of over-the-top 80's style action movies. The game is named after T-Rex-looking dragons that emit neon light.
Pro Solid gameplay
The gameplay itself is of course drenched in an over-the-top 80's sauce, but underneath that lies the solid, trusted gameplay mechanics of Far Cry 3.
Pro Jokes
The game toys with the player throughout the game through ridiculous notification boxes, achievements, etcetera.
Pro Takes a popular concept and blends it with survival games
Much like the movies The Hunger Games or Battle Royale (and a lesser extent Running Man), this game blends survival gameplay in with a game-show aspect of last man standing. While not new ideas in and of themselves, this is the first game to really capitalize on a current popular trend of similar movies and books.
Cons
Con Humor repeats itself too much
The bit of humor the game offers is a bit broad and is repeated too much, meaning that it is easy to get bored or tired of it pretty quick.
