BONELAB is a gravity-defying first-person shooter, where players can use the environment to their advantage. Players can either play it alone or in co-op with a friend. The player can choose to play as one of three different characters:
- a cybernetic ninja
- a cyborg
- a robot
The player starts with a single pistol and must find more weapons to use. The player can also find upgrades for weapons, health, and their ability to jump. BONELAB is one of the first VR games of its kind. Players are able to use the environment to their advantage and use gravity to their advantage. For example, if the player wants to go to the ceiling, they can use a special ability to go to the ceiling. The game has been praised for its unique gameplay, but it has been criticized for not having much of a story, as well as being too difficult for some players.
A big draw for BONELAB is its physics. The game is heavily physics-based and many of the levels are completely physics-based. This is very different from many other VR games, which are traditionally just regular video games ported to virtual reality. The game is not for the faint of heart. In order to play the game, players will need to be very comfortable in virtual reality, as the game is very intense. BONELAB is a near-perfect blend of sandbox and narrative gameplay that stretches the technical limits of the Quest 2. Its heavily physics-based gameplay is ground-breaking in many ways, offering ways for creative players to dispatch enemies like never before. Be warned, though, that this intense game isn't for the faint of heart or stomach and will make many people motion sick with its intense movements. BONELAB is similar to BONEWORKS but easily improves almost all mechanics and has very creative levels and an interesting story when you think into it. There are some bugs but are easily fixable as the game has only just launched. The game brings so much enjoyment to many and I am very excited for modding because it will make the game even more incredible.
