    I'm glad this was my first big VR game and I played this before Into The Radius or Half Life: Alyx. There's something extremely magical about Boneworks, specially your first hour in.

    Definiftely not perfect, and I'm still at the first mission, but I know it deserves a 10/10. For what it is, and the price you can get this for, it's an amazing experience you shouldn't miss out.

    This game is incredible. We have yet to see a VR game with this level of interaction, and it does so almost flawlessly.

    This is the future of gaming.
    The physics is so realistic that you will forget that is not real.
    The feeling of using hands in virtual reality is something awesome, every gamer must try this to understand. Don't look at videos because is something to live not to watch.
    You will be sucked in this reality.

    The best VR experience out there. There's nothing as good and as innovative as boneworks for now.

    Amazing! The physicality of the world adds so much to the sense of presence. It anchors you to the world in a way I have not experienced before. Alongside my Pimax 5k+ on large (170 degree) FOV, it was hard to 0nit believe I was in a new playgym. Make sure you are running at 90hz constant with no reprojd tion or the physics will break!

    Absolutely amazing, not for first time VR users but amazing immersion and physics. This reminds me of the feeling you get playing Half Life for the first time, it's the feeling I got when seeing physics puzzles in a game for the first time. Being able to spend ten minutes piling and climbing things to try find secrets or get out of bounds makes me feel like a kid again

    To preface, if you do not have your VR legs (you get nauseous quickly, cannot gauge your room in VR or just can't use locomotion.) do not play this game. It is made clear that this game is not for you.

It is made clear that this game is not for you.

    Boneworks is the best VR title I have played.

    First let's start with the good things about this game:

    -Physics Engine
    The Physics Engine in this game is a first in VR and will be unrivaled for quite some time. Like most games when you see a problem that needs to be solved, you come up with a solution. A first for VR, whatever solution you have is correct and can be done.

    -Weapons
    The weapons in this game are on par with H3. They feel real and they feel good. The rifles especially feel good because of the weight they have compared to other weapons like pistols. The melee weapons are also enjoyable to use. My favorite has to be the half sword!

    -Character Body
    This is definitely a controversial thing to include but it really does feel right. Too many VR games just feature hands as your method of control. Comparing that to Boneworks, the full body really brings presence and immersion into the gameworld. You ask yourself, how can I use my arms and legs to solve this level.

    Just one bad thing:

    -Story
    The plot of the game was a bit lacking leaving the player confused about their part in it. Although lacking, I am positive they will bring some kind of expansion to it in later updates.

    All in all, for about 15 hours of Story Content (If you want to get the developer gadgets) and endless time spent sandboxing the beautifully crafted levels, Boneworks is a MUST buy for Headset Owners (As long as you have your VR Legs) especially considering its price tag of $30.    … Expand

All critics are losing their credibility as they are giving the best VR game released right now the same score as mass effect andromeda. What the **** I see some reviews saying the campaign is short and let me ask you all did you even ****ing play the game. This is the longest vr campaign out right now. You can get every vr game on steam play them all and boneworks would still have the longest campaign. The enemies are AI are some of vr's best as they react to almost anything you do to them. Pushing a sword in ones chest? They will reach for the sword as you keep pushing it in. The enemies are so unique and smart you can even use a crablet as a weapon by shoving it on to a guys head. The controls and physics are vr's best as you can interact and grab, move, use as a weapon and climb just about anything. I never got motion sick a bit while playing so that's really not a problem, just get more used to VR before playing. there is even so much to do after beating the campaign it's one of the longest VR games out. after beating the game you can do a melee only run, beat arena, mess around in sandbox, get all the ammo, just unlock the dev gun and mess around in story mode. everyone saying the game is short has never been more wrong in their life, if a review says the game is short you really should just ignore it as you could play this game forever because mods for it are already coming out, and the devs have a 24 page list of new content they want to add in new updates. And the game is 30 dollars, quite small compared to most vr games. The fact that the critic's reviews are about a paragraph or sentence long tells you to not listen to them. Just ignore the people that get paid to give call of duty a 9 or 10 every year and take this game as a 10/10. TL;DL Endless content and cheap compared to most VR games. A must buy for every vr owner.… Expand

Whilest everyone ignores the physics and just talks about how this has a bad story whilest you have to have played the other games to understand the story. The combat felt good and satisfying tho the only enemy that was a bit hard to beat was the Zombie wich throws meta corruptions and the Omnimen. The only thing that hasnt been so great is that when you hold a enemy that it/he moves around alot and makes it very non fitting on how this game works. Relative from this I would say this is a 9/10! As most bugs are fixed and a Save Checkpoint system has been added the game is the Half Life of VR and has to get more attention from the real media critics who dont just base a game on if you get sick or not.… Expand

    The physics are great, the gameplay is great, and even the Story is pretty good, if you look at what the Story actually is.

    This Game gets a 10/10 from me.

Looking at some of the earlier reviews, and watching some early gameplay I can tell when this game first came out it was probably worth like a 5/10 due to how buggy it was. But in 2022 I really haven't had any issues with this game, even playing with an i7 and GTX 1650. This game has definitely improved, and the devs of this game should be proud to see how far this game has come from an objectively rough launch.    … Expand

    Despite its frustrations and some half-measure design, Boneworks is still a game that is easy to recommend for VR fans. There's a lot about its immersion that other VR games could learn from, and hopefully build an overall better game around.
