The full body with accurate tracking makes you feel like you are in the game. 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

   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 playTo 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.
   
   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

It is the game, that can be possible only in VR. Realisic phisics is not a game feature here, it is the game so to say. You experiment with it, trck it and have a good fun with it. Game has a great atmosphere, interesting lore and pretty good OST. The only drag here is the story. It is there, but it develops so slow and it is really a shame, cause it could be something very unusual. But we have what we have. A potential killer of HL: Alyx. Alyx would be very hard to stand its ground, when something like boneworks is around.… Expand

I would have liked some clue as to what my goal in the game is other than a cryptic intro video. The physics and actually being in a body in VR is just incredibly well done. The movement and environment interaction is how all first person VR games should be. It is very easy to learn and comfortable.… Expand
