REVIEW | Bonelab (PC VR)

Bonelab is an enjoyable VR adventure that ultimately feels underwhelming.
B-Good: B grades are given to games that are decent all-around. These games are above average in many areas but have occasional flaws that diminish their overall experience. While not legendary status, these games are without question still quality titles.

How We Grade Reviews (Updated 6/21/23)
About Our Grades
We feel the best way to grade a game is with letter grades (defined below). While the most important part of a review resides in the actual text/video, the final grade is a summarization that puts a bow on the entire discussion. Grades provide a single, digestible summary that’s useful for those who may not have time to watch an entire review or may not want to watch gameplay footage at all.
Our Grades:
S-Legendary: S grades are reserved for the very best games ever made. These games are legends of the medium. They have few flaws, are excellent in multiple areas and represent the very best of what gaming has to offer.
A-Great: A grades are given to high-quality games. These games are enriching experiences worth tons of praise. Their strengths far outnumber their flaws.
B-Good: B grades are given to games that are decent all-around. These games are above average in many areas but have occasional flaws that diminish their overall experience. While not legendary status, these games are without question still quality titles.
C-Average: C grades are the middle ground. These games are playable and generally fun and/or adequately made. While they may not excel in any one area, they don't completely fail anywhere either.
D-Below Average: D grades are given to games that feel substandard and/or underwhelming, though some may still find them playable or enjoyable.
E-Bad: Games with an E grade do not have enough upside to be described as playable. These games are bad. If they have a strength, it’s quickly countered by numerous weaknesses.
F-Broken: An F grade is reserved for games that are broken and/or unplayable. These games have few strengths, if any, and are crippled by numerous bugs, design flaws, and other weaknesses.

Thanks for the review. Very interesting, as Habie seems to think they'll be playing Bonelab for quite a long time. As for me, I'm kind of priced out of VR options at the moment. :/
