Pros
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.
Pro Easy to google for help
Due to the game popularity many guides and help tutorials are easily found through google search, which is great as there is much one needs to learn about the game that is not available as a tutorial.
Pro Remastered RPG classic with extra content
The whole game has been remastered to play and look well on modern devices. With additions to the game like skipping dialogue or being able to finally zoom this is the definitive version.
Cons
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.
Con Combat system is still convoluted
Certain weapons need certain stats to damage certain enemies, which is most left unexplained in game, which makes the game difficult to play at times.
