BONEWORKS is everything VR gaming should aspire to be. From its innovative mechanics to its seamless immersion, this game takes virtual reality to the next level. I absolutely love how the physics are integrated into every aspect of the gameplay—it’s incredibly satisfying to interact with the world in such a dynamic way. You can spend hours just experimenting with the weapons in the opening segment, and honestly, it never gets old.
What really sets BONEWORKS apart is the freedom it offers. The ability to grab, throw, and manipulate enemies is both thrilling and surprisingly fun. Plus, the gunplay feels natural and immersive, making every shootout intense and engaging. If you're looking for a VR experience that feels less like a game and more like an adventure in a fully interactive world, BONEWORKS is an absolute must-play.
Whether you're into intense combat or simply love messing around in a sandbox environment, this game has something for everyone.

Still (in my opinion) one of the greatest VR games to be released. No game will top the physics and handling of this game. If you plan on playing the sequel, Bonelab, PLEASE play this game first. They are both AMAZING games but experiencing Boneworks and all it has to offer before hopping into its sequel is the best way to experience the Monogon world.

You will get around 11 hrs of pure gameplay. It's a good game but can be a bit tiring and cause burnout. Inventory system is sometime flaw especially the one on the right waist area. Repetitive climbing or trying to get capsule to the end of the level is fatiguing. I would want this game to be around $15 instead of $20+

10/10 the only game where you go from cool Monogon simulation to a god in 6 to 7 hours if you just wanted to gun through the game fast

Boneworks isn’t just a game—it’s a full-body VR experience that pushes the limits of physics-based interaction. From the moment you step in, everything in the world reacts realistically to your movements, whether you’re climbing, vaulting over obstacles, or using objects as improvised weapons. The gunplay and melee combat feel incredibly satisfying, allowing for creative and tactical engagements against enemies. Unlike most VR games with simplistic mechanics, Boneworks encourages experimentation, rewarding players who use their environment to their advantage. It’s not just a shooter—it’s a sandbox where you can approach combat and exploration however you like.
While the physics system is impressive, it can sometimes feel clunky, and there’s a bit of a learning curve to mastering movement. The story, while intriguing, takes a backseat to the sheer fun of playing around with the game’s mechanics. That said, even years after its release, Boneworks remains one of the most immersive and innovative VR games out there. If you’re looking for a game that truly makes you feel present in a virtual world, it’s absolutely worth picking up—especially on sale. It’s a must-play for VR enthusiasts who love deep interaction and sandbox-style gameplay.
