What players say
Just beat boneworks and bonelab back to back, this was the superior experience. While it doesn't have all the mods and huge sandbox of bonelab, the campaign is much better. It took me about 9 days to beat boneworks, and 2 to beat bonelab. While bonelab had much more variety in its levels, boneworks was much more of a cohesive story, which I prefer. Absolute must-play vr game, probably my favorite vr campaign of all...
