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 Classic Quake gameplay for modern times
Quakespasm is a port of the original iD engine for Quake with modern systems and conventions in mind. It adds correct 64-bit support, modern controls, bakes music in the game instead of asking for a CD, etc. Quakespasm Rift builds on top of that codebase to add Oculus Rift support.
Cons
Con Short
Game is currently under ten minutes long.
Con VR may cause nausea
There are some sensory information mismatch issues created by the in-game characters movements and players stationary position as well as the sheer speed of the gameplay that can easily induce nausea.
