No trigger warning, and no option to skip. One of the very first things you do in Bonelab is walk up to a rope noose and physically put it around your neck. If matters around suicide or self-harm might be upsetting for you, please skip forward to the next time stamp. I’m going to discuss the intro level, which contains some content that might be disturbing. But we won’t show the game’s opening out of sensitivity, so here is a trigger warning.
I don’t really give a shit about spoiling the game because it does that itself. On the Quest, at least, the engine does everything it can to convince you that you aren’t playing it properly or holding the controllers right and that you don’t get it. Nearly every single design decision here is wrong-headed, and it all stems from the fact that interacting with the world and inhabiting it is borderline unpleasant. What we have now is a messy, janky, hugely overpriced sandbox which thinks it’s far, far better than it is. I’m not here to review a game engine, its ‘potential’, or what it might be like in a few months when the modders have taken it apart and reformed it. I think it’s crap for many reasons, which I’ll try to go into here, but the main one is that it feels bloody awful to play. I set out to review the game as a first-time player with as few preconceptions and expectations as possible. I’d already grown weary of the hype train around Bonelab months ago, but knowing I was reviewing it, I tried to remain as objective in my opinion as possible. Fight Club, Breaking Bad, and Super Mario 64 are a few examples from my personal list of shame. Sometimes, however, because I’ve been allergic to the popularity around something, as a punter, I’ve missed out on some gems until comparatively late in the day.

Sometimes this turns out to be justified – my first rodeo as a professional games reviewer was Driv3r, an overhyped mess quickly vilified by the press and public alike with good reason. I, for example, have still never watched Game of Thrones. Most of us have experienced the syndrome where we don’t engage with a piece of media simply because of hype or popularity. IT IS WHAT IT ISįirst up, a bit of context. Well, it’s out now, and as one of the few channels that haven’t surrendered to the temptation of breaking the review embargo or drowning Youtube with frenzied, frothing clickbait, we’re ready and willing to give you our honest thoughts on the game. It’s been hailed as a system seller, the Halo of VR, the future of VR. If you follow VR news at all, then you can’t have escaped the ridiculous hype juggernaut surrounding Bonelab.
