Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Great game, probably my favourite vr game, absolutely amazing with mods, the campaign is quite bad but you can get a mod that adds different campaigns including the boneworks campaign which is a gem.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
so if you're looking for a really fun VR fps game to play alone(or with others, yes there is a multiplayer if you mod it), its really fun, and i HIGHLY recommend that you mod the game (its also really easy if you download it via mod.io ingame though cetain mods wont work as they need to be manually installed), but if you're planning on 100% the game, expect to be infuriated many times, both by the achievement requirements, but also the fact that the vanilla guns can be kind of annoying sometimes.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
absolutely AMAZING game with SOOOOO much replayability. for anyone who enjoyed boneworks for the gameplay and OST, i highly recommend. if you enjoyed boneworks for the story, i'd still recommend this but it's lackluster compared to the original; the main focus of the game was not the story, but rather the sandbox and physics. this game was made to be modded. vanilla is still fun, but mods definitely take it to another level. this is one of (and will forever be) one of the best vr games out there.
