Cons
Con Lots of waiting around
Many portions of the game require waiting for events to unfold, even with the inclusion of a fast forward button there will be a lot of waiting.

Sadly the multiplayer aspect of Dustforce is local only. For PC gaming to exclude online multiplayer (when there are multiplayer modes) is an odd choice as the platform lends itself better to online play more so than sharing a single monitor.
