Pros
Pro A truly well done first person VR shooter
Robo Recall is an expertly executed game. You play as a "Recaller," trained in recalling malfunctioning products (namely, robots). You can do all sorts of fun things in the game, which range from blasting tons of robots into oblivion, to deflecting their shots with your weapons, and you can even pull their bullets right out of the air and throw them back.
There are plenty of great things to explore; perhaps you want to tear a robot's arms off and use them as swords, or maybe you want to hold one hostage and use him as a shield.
Robo Recall allows you to do all of these things, and much more.
Pro The weapons in the game look and feel powerful
There's a total of 4 weapons in Robo Recall: the pistol, the revolver, the shotgun, and the plasma rifle. Each weapon has its own unique strengths and weaknesses, which you can further amplify thanks to an (albeit small) assortment of attachments for each of them.
The weapons look great and feel satisfying to use. The shotgun was particularly well executed, and is largely considered a favorite.
Pro No motion sickness thanks to teleportation-style movement
Many VR games give players an issue with motion sickness. If you haven't played long enough to acquire your "VR legs" then you can get nautious and dizzy relatively easily. Robo Recall circumvents that with movement via teleporting, which means you can play all day with no drawbacks.
Pro One of the best games to introduce new players to VR
Robo Recall is incredible for new players. The opening sequence features a mini jump scare that will serve as a testament to what they're about to experience. The first level of the game will be absolutely mind blowing for the vast majority of players.
Pro High quality graphics and aesthetics that details a world that is realisticly believable
Star Conflict has high quality graphics and interesting ship design. There's also good detail in the surrounding world that really makes it look great, especially in VR where you are fully immersed in the world.
Pro Being in the cockpit creates near perfect VR immersion thanks to taking the role of a pilot, which allows the player to be stationary
More so than FPS games, Star Conflict achieves incredible immersion by positioning the player where the pilot is. This puts the player's entire body in the same position as the character, which adds to the feeling of actually being there as opposed to sitting in a chair in the real world while your character is walking around a room.
Pro Includes both PvE and PvP missions, which should cover all multiplayer bases
There are player vs player arenas as well as quests and mission within the world against NPC enemies. This allows you to practice against AI, and once you get good you can progress on and challenge other players.
Cons
Con Quickly turns grindy to encourage spending money
While the game starts out with fast-pasted progress it quickly turns into a typical MMO grind that can be sped up by paying real world money.
Con Multiplayer with friends require two Rifts
It's the early days of VR, and it's rare to find another person that owns a Rift (especially with the Vive gaining popularity lately). Playing MMOs with random other players online can still be fun, but the experience is much better when you have a friend to play it with. It will be hard to find a friend who can play with you, as you will both need a Rift and a capable gaming rig.
Con Plagued with admin abuse
Endless reports of people having unpleasant run-ins with admins.
