    This is way buggier than BONEWORKS and shorter. It feels like quest ruined the game. It was rushed out with 4 hours of story at most and that is with utter confusion slowing me down. The only thing that can save this game is mods, performance updates and so on. I am afraid the updates will come too late and the mod support does not count.

    I really thought this game looked wonderful and was very excited for it but I'm very disappointed. In it's current state it's suffers from terrible frame rate drops and stutters even after the update that recently dropped. Some areas are completely unplayable because of it for me. The graphics look good, music is great, and the physics are satisfying but it really feels like a big techI really thought this game looked wonderful and was very excited for it but I'm very disappointed. In it's current state it's suffers from terrible frame rate drops and stutters even after the update that recently dropped. Some areas are completely unplayable because of it for me. The graphics look good, music is great, and the physics are satisfying but it really feels like a big tech demo. This "sandbox" style game has very little continuity and once you're past the beginning stage you're open to explore between different hubs that give you little explanation of their purpose. It ends up feeling very disjointed. I could see a lot of cool stuff being created by modders but until the performance is improved I won't be playing it at all. I really wish there was an actual effort put into making a campaign for this game. The hype has been way overblown and a lot of the good reviews have me scratching my head.… Expand

    In my opinion this was my most anticipated game of the year. I loved boneworks. I loved the physics. I loved the smooth gunplay. I loved the story. The only thing bonelab takes from that is the physics, I had an incredible experience with the first hour of the game but once I reached the lab and proceeded with the rest of the game it was severely disappointing.

The only thing bonelab takes from that is the physics, I had an incredible experience with the first hour of the game but once I reached the lab and proceeded with the rest of the game it was severely disappointing. With horrible motion sickness from the one minecart level and god forbid monogon raceway, it made me drop the game almost immediately. I would have to say the first 4 levels are pretty good with good level design good graphics and more. But it shoves the sandbox way down your throat as you have to complete all 6 activates before proceeding with the story. And speaking of story the story is absolutely horrid with no idea what's going on. In the middle of the game you have to collect some characters to proceed and the way the level design is put on when collecting said characters is horrible, I mean the first 3 character levels are good then it just stops with the good level design. I mean the only thing saving this game is the hot women but women arent enough I need hot men as well get some diversity in there.

    TL;DR: Boneworks is better dont buy this    … Expand

    My most anticipated VR game by a mile is probably one of the most broken experiences I have ever played.

For every moment of greatness bonelab achieves it’s marred but terrible glitches, poor design choices and overall what can only be described as lazy development. The tools it gives to the community are priceless and will no doubt lead to the creations of incredible experiences from the amazing modding community. But from a gameplay perspective what stress level zero has put together is bad, honestly it’s terrible.
    There will be moments of joy but those highs only serve to amplify the crushing lows that you will experience time and time again.

    This isn’t a review bomb, I finished this game and I wanted so bad to love it, I kept hoping for it to get better, I kept hoping for it to function properly but time and time again it failed. The community has already created amazing things, but a game should be reviewed based on what the developers delivered from a gameplay perspective and in that regard bonelab has no redeeming qualities.

    A game that pushes VR’s boundaries. Strange, playful and committed to creativity, but intense if you're new to VR.

    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.

    Balance issues in combat and puzzles make Bonelab more of a physics playground with mod support than a well-done VR shooter.
