Pros
Pro Cyberpunk hacker themed world & gameplay
The player is put in to the shoes of a hacker that's tasked with breaking into computer systems.
Pro Designed specifically for the Oculus Rift
Unlike many other games, this one was built ground up for a head mounted display instead of adapted for it. As such the user interface and control scheme are well optimised for the Oculus Rift.
Pro Unlimited replayability
Once the subscription is paid there is no set path for the user. Everything is open to the player meaning they can choose what to do and where to go. This makes for a completely open-ended title that allows for a fresh experience anytime the player wants.
Pro Unique community rules
There is an actual sanctioning body for the game called FIRST that keeps players in line making for a non toxic community that behaves professionally. If a player races aggressively or continually breaks the rules of the rod their license will receive infractions that will soon label that person as one to stay away from.
Cons
Con Short
Game is currently under ten minutes long.
Con Expensive as it requires a subscription plus additional costs
iRacing requires a subscription that starts at $6/mo. as well as has costs for extra cars and tracks. Overall an expensive game to play for those that want to experience all of the content on offer.
Con Difficult to play with a gamepad
The controls for the game are very precise and in being so is best played with a driving wheel with petals and a shifter. Trying to play with a gamepad does work but will really inhibit the players controls especially if they are competing in online races.
