The driving behavior is completely physics-based, each change in components placement or input leads to the expected behavior. Skimming close to the surface gives you more lift, so you can afford to lean the ship forward for bigger acceleration. Angling your thrust vector smoothly while high speed drifting around corners is challenging and rewarding at the same time.

Pros
Pro Tense atmosphere
The game features many claustrophobic corridors, unnerving sound design, moody lighting and creepy enemies that seemingly appear from nowhere. Put together these elements create a lots of tension and a sense of unease.
Pro Very satisfying feeling of control and speed

Pro Immersive VR cockpit
All important information is integrated into the physical cockpit, which closes around you at the start of each race. You can even get out of the cockpit and walk around your ship on the surface of Mars while waiting for repairs in VR roomscale just to get back in when it is ready to continue the race.
Pro Great Drum 'n' Bass soundtrack
Cons
Con VR development was dropped by ZeniMax midway through
Due to disagreements between ZeniMax and Oculus, development of Doom 3 BFG VR was dropped. There are a few community attempts to finish VR support including one by an Oculus developer Samson and another by reddit user mscoder610.
Con Clunky garage interface in VR
To finetune parts, like the flight controller, you have to move your head up/down or to the side, because otherwise the menu elements overlap.
Con No multiplayer yet
There is an online leader board, and ghost ships will come soon. But Multiplayer will only be added by the developer, when enough people are playing the game.
