There is not much in the way of hand holding in the game as many situations can be passed more easily once the payer understands the ins and outs of the game.

Pros
Pro VR adds an incredible amount of immersion
The game adds excellent immersion in VR mode and even provides a gameplay advantage since it allows peeking around the corner.
Pro Almost no VR sickness
Even with the high speed movement most people don't have issues with motion sickness. Mostly due to the frame of reference that's created by the cockpit, precision controls and level design with intentional ambiguity of what is up and what is down.
Pro 32-player multiplayer
With up to 31 other players on the same track as you, the races can get pretty hectic. Being in the middle of all that really gets you in the zone.
Pro Great soundtrack
Pro Rewarding exploration based gameplay
There is not much in the way of hand holding in the game as many situations can be passed more easily once the payer understands the ins and outs of the game. Things like a green serum not being explained that it helps with a patient bleeding will only be discovered through trial and error, which in the end is rewarding to finally learn all of the mechanics of the game.
Pro Purposefully difficult controls create slapstick humor
In the game the player controls the movements, rotation, raised/lowered stated of the surgeons hand as well as each finger separately. It's purposefully difficult to control the movements of the hand well. The difficulty of controlling actions creates lots of opportunities for slapstick.
Cons
Con Content can get repetitive
No matter the track being played on, the concept is the same, avoid objects and get the fastest time. This can get boring after a while. If the devs added more, perhaps weapons or a points system that reduced your time or something , the game would be more interesting when playing a few rounds in a row.
Con Multiplayer is completely dead
It is difficult if not impossible to find other players to play against. Unless you have friends with the same game that you can play with, there will be no one in the lobbies to play against randomly.
Con Can get frustrating
While lack of accuracy of the controls is the main draw of the game it can at times get unnecessarily frustrating.
