I know there are people who adore this game and I kind of get that. The physics system and parkour are both really fun and the guns are good without being great. Apparently the story is supposed to be interesting but I think it is told awfully, especially for VR. I think the enemy design is terrible and they're not satifying to fight. I don't care about fighting the robot spiders and null bodies like I care about fighting headcrabs and Combine in HLA. The music is amazing though
Honestly, one of the most fun VR games I've played to date. Which may/may not be saying much, but Boneworks definitely deserves high praise! VR makes me nauseous so I play fairly infrequently and in short sessions, so it took me forever to beat this one. Only complaints that come to mind are that some of the physics puzzles are jank as hell and super annoying to do, and combat felt like a chore at times. Also platforming was equally jank. Otherwise, I really enjoyed my time with it! Since I own a Quest 2 and I played this with Virtual Desktop, I imagine I'll have a much more comfortable time with BoneLab.
Waking up inside another place like this,
A confusion,
A jumbled mess.
No but really, boneworks is a truly amazing game. I think those lyrics say a lot about this game. Coming from most other vr games (a few exceptions like Half-Life Alyx, and Beat saber) which are mostly poorly put together games which people perceive as being good because the whole aspect of VR is new so there aren't many great vr games being made so when I got Boneworks I thought it was just going to be "Another Place like this" but after playing for about 30 minutes I felt so confused on why this game was so good yet things like Half Life Alyx got more attention. Then I realised. The motion sickness hit but I wanted more of this Truly great experience. I had to take a break after around 2 hours, but the more I played the less often I had to take a break. Currently i think I could play for 5 hours without getting sick. So even if you get motion sick the first time, just keep playing (But take constant breaks) and you may overcome it like I did. After beating the incredible main story there is still the sandbox levels which I'd say are the best Non main story element of any game. Oh yeah the physics, I could go on about these for 100's of hours but I'm gonna keep it short. As my friend said playing this game "If you can do it in real life you can do it here" except here you have so much more choice, becuase they wont result in a real human being or anything being harmed.
10/10 Gameplay
9/10 Graphics
10/10 Physics
9/10 Story
9/10 Replayability
8/10 immersion (only for the initial motion sickness)
9/10 Pricing
10/10 Music
9/10 Combat
Must buy for any PCVR headset owner and I would honestly say it's worth buying a PC and a VR headset just to play this game
