    BONELAB is an incredibly interesting piece of tech with a terrible shooter holding it back. The physics barely work, the mechanics are cumbersome, and the puzzles are unintuitive and frustrating. There are a few moments where the combat can shine, but that’s not enough to make the game worth it.

The story itself is also quite engaging, and feels like it's on the same level of depth as it's predecessor, although a bit shorter as it's taken a small backseat to the game's larger intent (No you don't actually need to complete minigames to progress if you're wondering) The whole minigame side is a bit of a controversial decision but personally I think it works really well, and provides a lot more to do than in Boneworks after completing the main story, even if slightly impacting the narrative, but I think it's been worth it so far.

    Oh and don't get me started on the sound design, this game has done that part extremely well, and the score by Michael Wyckoff is absolutely amazing!

    I will note I initially had some issues with object collisions, but it's seemed to be fixed by a recent update.

    All in all, I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoyed the original boneworks or is a fan of vr, but not to the general casual player who is prone to motion sickness, as this game will most likely make you paint your walls at times.    … Full Review »

    this game is better in all ways than the first one. the only minor nitpick is that the driving needs some work but the shooting is excellentthis game is better in all ways than the first one. the only minor nitpick is that the driving needs some work but the shooting is excellent and the guns feel good to shoot. There is a lack of content in the bone lab hub, but hopefully, the mods will improve this. finally, the story is nothing to write home about and you must read clipboards to understand which can get tedious.… Full Review »
