As I did refund the game. I don't have much "bad" to say about it other then a couple I guess. Its a spin off of Bone Works, just more directed towards the sandbox style rather then a story line. Bone Works is much cheaper, and has a bigger story line, one that leaves you hooked. The Storyline is just way to short on Bone Lab for me to justify spending almost 40 bucks on it when I can just boot up Bone Works an enjoy an amazing story line. If the game ever gets a REALLY good sell I will re purchase. But for almost 40 bucks, I would much rather spend that money else where. #brokepeopleproblems

Basically, for those of you who have been on Steam awhile, do you remember how Garry's Mod is just a sandbox version of the Half-Life games? Well BONEWORKS is heavily inspired by Half-Life, while BONELAB is a sandbox version of BONEWORKS. So basically a sequel to a spinoff to a remake of a game. While many believed this game to be another addition to BONEWORKS storymode, this game is more of a long tutorial on how to use the tools this game provides, rather than be a full fledged game on its own. Basically this is a way to say, "we know yall want more of our VR games, buuuuut, heres a sandbox for you to chew on while we make an ACTUAL sequel to Boneworks". So, if you like Garry's Mod, think of this as its half-distant VR cousin. Despite its flaws, I think it is worth the price, just remember, BONEWORKS=HALFLIFE BONELAB=GMOD.

Look, the campaign is lackluster as all hell. but modding is a damn breeze. not to mention fusion the multiplayer mod that has entertained me with my friends with dumb moments. If your willing to mod BUY THIS GAME. If your not, GO BUY BONEWORKS!!!

Im a bitmixed on the game but overall like it, so imma explain what I personally think of the game for anyone interested in it. WARNING: This is a long review, I know scary, but that's cuz I've got a lot to say, so bear with me here... -COOL STUFF- Firstly, despite the mixed reception, I really love the game, despite its issues. It's got a lotta new things, with a number of major features that people wanted in boneworks, like the addition of vehicle support, shotguns, and different avatars with varied weight, strength, speed, health, and even intelligence (the latter is truly groundbreaking). And of course, the main focus of Bonelab, which was to make a gmod-esque game for VR, which I'll talk about more in a sec. Also, despite the overall opinion of the subject, I personally liked the campaign (Don't dox me yet, lemme explain). The reason is that while the campaign seems confusing, the first and last half of the game do all tie in together well and inegrate parts of the game's lore fairly well, like with the Fantasy Land, the Boneworks development team, and Lavagang's former Bonelab Hub. Im also gonna say that the minigame-type half with the different avatars wasn't as bad as some say. I personally think of it moreso as a way for the game to show off more of what is now possible in the game with different avatars and what is now possible in the game, without needing direct messages explaining what the avatars can now do. It was also kinda fun to go through different "universes" for brief periods of time, as if they were entirely different games which I think is kinda cool. -UNCOOL STUFF- But the game of course isn't perfect. The main issue people have with the campaign is the fact that it seems very random, unconnected, and confusing since the player kinda just teleports between different areas, but I kinda think that's a bit of a strength since it allows for more interpretation by the player for what's going on, and makes it seem more like Jimmy is actually guiding players through different places by teleporting them throughout seemingly seperate projects by the in-lore Boneworks team, without directly explaining the story. Again, though, I understand everyone's confusion and partial frustration with it. Speaking of frustration, another thing people are annoyed with is the modding SDK. Despite Bonelab being designed to be a moddable game for VR, the modding SDK, at its current point in time, is very unfinished and not fully released, nor has full mod support in the game like with things like gMod. Personally, I'm giving SLZ the benefit of the doubt and think that they're currently working on trying to finish and fix the SDK to bring it to a truly finished state that people will be happy with, while also working on the Marrow engine, Bonelab itself, and potential other projects, which given the size of the team isn't an easy thing to balance. I also imagine they're trying to perfect it, rather than rushing it out for the sake of releasing it. Either way though, people are annoyed with them saying they'll give 2 years of support but haven't released it yet, but I imagine once they fully release the SDK, they'll THEN start focusing on extended support, so hopefully we'll start to see more news relatively soon once the team's comfortable with the SDK's state and feel ready to fully release it. Another thing, though, is that once the SDK does fully release, a lot of mods may potentially break due to changes in the game's code, leading to modders choosing to avoid the game for now until the SDK is complete. -FIN- Overall I like the game as a whole, with a lot of new features and support, and the campaign isn't horrible, just takes a bit more open interpretation to fully understand. However, the game's SDK mod support is unfinished, which I think is due to SLZ trying their best to work on it and finish it without rushing it. But nonetheless, I think some people should cut the game a bit of slack, since some of the hate is a bit much, especially with SLZ's team size. Speaking of SLZ, in the miniscule chance that one of the devs are reading this, don't try and rush the SDK. I know people are annoyed with it, but it's better that you guys work on it to a finished state that adds more features and support to the code of Bonelab while not affecting too many currently available mods. Okay, NOW you guys can complain about me having an opinion on Twitter while I leave to go throw cheeseburgers at Author Ford from Monogon Industries in 2Fort.
