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 Creative and good plot

Pro Minimalistic yet beneficial art style
The art style in the game is very cool and minimalistic while actually serving to make the game easier to understand and play. The gameplay in Superhot relies on you being able to react properly to your environment, and the art choices make it really easy to understand what is going on around you.
Pro Tons of unlockables
There are many different modes and secrets to unlock in the game, also small easter eggs and references everywhere, adding some replayability to this game.
Pro Awesome time-based mechanic
In Superhot time only goes forward when you move. This turns the gameplay into something closer to a puzzle game as you need to be very calculated with every move you make.
Pro Lets you roleplay matrix-like battles
The coolest thing about this mechanic is it essentially lets you role play matrix-like battles with you dodging bullets, slicing bullets out of mid-air with a katana and an assortment of other badass things to do.
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 Short story mode
Although there are plenty of other modes with a lot of variety, the story mode can typically be beaten in around 2 hours.
