Bonelab on Meta Quest 2: Stress Level Zero's follow-up to Boneworks, hyped for months as the future of VR.
A $40 sandbox that feels rubbery to hold, awful to play, and opens with an un-skippable noose Doc calls a dick move.
Bonelab on Meta Quest 2 is Stress Level Zero's hype-drowned Boneworks follow-up, sold for months as the system-seller and the future of VR. Doc's verdict is the opposite: a $40 sandbox where the physics feel rubbery, melee is weightless, climbing gets stuck, and the opening tutorial drops you in front of an un-skippable noose with no narrative context. The modding potential is real but that's also true of free VRChat, and the game today is outclassed genre-by-genre by cheaper titles. 5, bone-headed.
