Pros
Pro Easier control of the camera
Often thir person games require a bit of manual control of the camera in order to adjust to what is going on around them and see where enemies and the rest of the environment is. This is normally done through controls on the keyboard or controller meaning not only are you controlling the character, but also the camera at the same time, which always requires a bit of juggling. What Chronos does is puts the camera control in the VR headset in that all you need to do is turn your head in order to change camera angles, this frees up manual control of the character to the keyboard or controller in that the camera will be controlled through natural and intuitive movements of ones head.
Pro High quality graphics and aesthetics that details a world that is realisticly believable
Star Conflict has high quality graphics and interesting ship design. There's also good detail in the surrounding world that really makes it look great, especially in VR where you are fully immersed in the world.
Pro Being in the cockpit creates near perfect VR immersion thanks to taking the role of a pilot, which allows the player to be stationary
More so than FPS games, Star Conflict achieves incredible immersion by positioning the player where the pilot is. This puts the player's entire body in the same position as the character, which adds to the feeling of actually being there as opposed to sitting in a chair in the real world while your character is walking around a room.
Pro Includes both PvE and PvP missions, which should cover all multiplayer bases
There are player vs player arenas as well as quests and mission within the world against NPC enemies. This allows you to practice against AI, and once you get good you can progress on and challenge other players.
Cons
Con Fully exclusive to Occulus
Chronos is being released only for the Oculus Rift, which mean the game will not be able to be played without a very expensive peripheral. This shuts out many potential users, much like console platform exclusivity. many do not see this as a good thing, though some might.
Con Quickly turns grindy to encourage spending money
While the game starts out with fast-pasted progress it quickly turns into a typical MMO grind that can be sped up by paying real world money.
Con Multiplayer with friends require two Rifts
It's the early days of VR, and it's rare to find another person that owns a Rift (especially with the Vive gaining popularity lately). Playing MMOs with random other players online can still be fun, but the experience is much better when you have a friend to play it with. It will be hard to find a friend who can play with you, as you will both need a Rift and a capable gaming rig.
Con Plagued with admin abuse
Endless reports of people having unpleasant run-ins with admins.
