A game that pushes VR’s boundaries. Strange, playful and committed to creativity, but intense if you're new to VR.
Bonelab is a near-perfect blend of sandbox and narrative gameplay that stretches the technical limits of the Quest 2. Its heavily physics-based gameplay is ground-breaking in many ways, offering ways for creative players to dispatch enemies like never before. Be warned, though, that this intense game isn't for the faint of heart or stomach and will make many people motion sick with its intense movements.

As a quest 2 player that owns an index me personally this game is and expands upon that yeah sure there's the lack of a long campaign but other than some bugs which is to be expected for a new game it expands upon works with the marrow system for physics and insane graphic for being able to run on a decent And I Mean just decent chip it was clear some corners were cut (graphics for quest 2)but it seems those cut corners seemed to smoothen out the edges maximizing the experience a tiny bit smaller But ill Take quality over visuals any day not to mention the soundtrack is a banger so overall underrated game 10/10

I've already played Boneworks entirely, and it was already a really really good game. Even if the lore of Bonelab is a bit difficult to understand, just watch a video to find that it is wonderful and very advanced.
The shooting, the physics, the immersion and the fights are incredible, and even more if you are a regular Vr game player. If you start being bored by this game, which is understandable, a lot of mods are available. You can download new maps, new guns, new mobs... and this is not the end, it's more like the beginning. Thanks to Stress Level Zero for developing incredible vr games and creating amazing worlds. Everything is good in this game.

Balance issues in combat and puzzles make Bonelab more of a physics playground with mod support than a well-done VR shooter.
Bonelab is similar to its predecessor in key ways—both the good and the bad. The game's physics driven world can be refreshingly immersive in the way that almost everything interacts together. But physics sometimes make the game less fun and even frustrating to play, especially when it comes to the game's many climbing segments. While there's lots on offer, including a campaign and several replayable mini-modes, they all suffer from the same core problems which is boring enemies with little variety, poor encounter & puzzle design, and bland weapons. In lieu of having those things provided for you, you'll have to extract your own fun by challenging yourself to execute stylish kills and physics-shenanigans with the game's all-you-can eat slo-mo feature. While the game repeats most of Boneworks key issues, this time around if offers proper modding support which could improve things significantly— that is... if the game's community is willing to spend the time building the toys this sandbox should have had from the start.
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.
A G.O.A.T of VR gaming. The game is great on it's own, but even better with the easy to install mods.

The game's single player mode feels so off-puttingly boring to play. It's as soulless as it gets. It feels like there's so much wasted potential, cool graphics and environments that seem to have been thoroughly disrespected by whoever designed the game's pacing. It's like you get through a level and at the end you ask yourself "that's it?".

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. Reviews for a game should be based on what the Dev's made instead of what others made.

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. 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

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 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.
