Pros
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.
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.
Cons
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.
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.
