Graphics 4/5

The game’s aesthetics is generally very pleasing, with colorful and well-drawn settings, nicely designed guns and gear, lots of tiny details to catch your eye, and impressive sound effects to enhance the impression of immersiveness.

Gameplay 5/5

Players are to fight their way out of a secret research facility while making as much use as possible of all and any items, guns, and tools they can obtain in the process. The most exciting part of Boneworks is that you can ‘physically’ interact with almost anything or anyone you see here and at a real-life pace! Whatever you come across in this game can be moved, lifted, thrown, or otherwise maneuvered by your hands, legs, and body. Physics-based realism is the core idea in Boneworks: everything from climbing a ladder to lifting heavy boxes to swinging an ax feels unbelievably realistic as long as you carefully adjust your VR avatar’s movements to match those in real life. If picking up a large box in actual life demands you to use both of your hands, do not expect to be able to do it with just one hand here.

Controls 4/5

The game is accessible across all PC VR platforms. Its navigation is not easy and requires people to have at least some previous experience with VR. Here, you walk using your joystick, and press buttons to jump. The most difficult part to get used to, however, is that you have to learn to virtually push heavy objects in the game while remaining motionless in actual life.

Replay Value 4/5

The game introduces a completely new level of VR shooters with more physical logic and more interaction required from the gamer. It is colorful, realistic, challenging, and fun to try; but if you do not have any experience of playing VR games, it is unlikely to immediately hook you up and keep you engaged for a long time.

Conclusion

If you are not new to the VR gun-adventure genre and are currently looking for a game that could let you experience the virtual reality at the level you have never seen or tried it before, Boneworks is your cup of tea. Download Boneworks now to start your incredible virtual adventure.

While the game feels excitingly fresh and realistic, some players may find its lack of solid game story, its extremely complicated physics system, and the abundance of glitches a good reason for not trying it.
