Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
87 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I'd say if you want a solid singleplayer PCVR campaign, go for BONEWORKS.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
82 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
That's one aspect of the game that they nailed, the community has continued to add new maps, weapons, characters, and more to the game via the modding support, but that shouldn't be the only content in your game, and before BONELAB, BONEWORKS had a sizeable community of modders trying to make that game the sandbox it could've been.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall: 7.69/10 The game is fun but not even close to the worth of the game needs an overhaul buy this game if you'll stick to it and if you want a fun sandbox/(modded) multiplayer experience.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I remember playing BONEWORKS the night it released and being amazed by the physics, interactivity, art style/graphics, and the campaign that, while somewhat difficult to follow, felt like it was telling a real story and that the levels were all interlinked in a way that felt like you were going on a real journey.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I bloody love this game, probably one of my favorite VR games of all time, I love the level design, the weapons, and the mods alone is worth the price of admission.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It allows for crazy modding, interesting quirks in the movement and physics engine, and some crazy fun Co-Op chaos through the Fan-Mod, BONELAB Fusion.
