Pro 3rd person platformer without the need to control the camera
Lucky's tale is a 3rd person platformer (much like Mario 64) that normally requires manual control of the camera. By creating the game for VR the user will not need to mess around with camera controls while also needing to control the character as the camera is your head. As you move your head the camera moves, which is not only a lot more intuitive but takes the multitasking out of the gameplay leaving the player to concentrate on controls only.
Cons
Con Some stages are really dark
While this does add to the element of surprise in a horror game, it can be tough to tell what is around you and where to go due to the game having very dark stages, which can be frustrating.
Con No release date
There is still no release date for this game even though Oculus has been released.
