Pros
Pro Unique maps and artstyle
The maps in this game are one of a kind, and look great! The buildings themselves are basic enough, but the surrounding scenery looks very futuristic which makes the game look great as you're freefalling.
Pro VR creates a feeling of weightlessness
While there's some risk of the game inducing fear of heights, most people experience a feeling of ease while moving through the air.
Pro Great soundtrack
The game has an energetic soundtrack that keeps the player motivated.
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 Slightly too repetitive
The gameplay mechanic consists of avoiding obstacles while falling off buildings and getting more points for riskier maneuvers. It doesn't really change much throughout the levels, making it feel like more of the same.
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.
