Pros
Pro Unsettling atmosphere
The game has unnerving sound design and dream-like, uncanny valley level design that help create a world of both wonder and creepiness.
Pro A unique premise
The game is played from a toddler's point of view. And the POV change creates an interesting, disjointed experience that has both narrative and gameplay implications.
Pro Bleak yet beautiful music score
Composed by Austin Wintory, the musical score is quite beautiful and haunting.
Pro Great hand drawn graphics
The all hand drawn graphics are animated smoothly and are extremely detailed which makes for one heck of a good looking game.
Cons
Con DK1 support only
Not compatible with the Oculus Rift DK2
Con Abrupt ending
The game ends somewhat unsatisfyingly.
Con Pretty difficult and uneven
The difficulty is sometime uneven with some battles being not to hard after one that was extremely difficult. Couple this with how difficult the game can be even on the easy setting and it is very apparent that the game will take some patience to complete.
