It’s utter insanity that these reviews aren’t more negative.
Bones is completely bugged—his stats are stuck at base no matter how much you invest in them. His default endurance is low, his savagery (damage) is mediocre, and to top it off, he’s slow as molasses (Victims can literally outrun you). His gore bombs (a maximum of two) are extremely niche and easy to counter. Victims can just run near the bomb to trigger it, then retreat to safety because the detonation delay is so long. Plus, you can’t even hide the bombs in sneaky spots they must be placed in visible areas.
Refilling bombs is another headache. Bones needs to let them detonate, pick up the spark plug left behind, and then go to a random blood bucket to craft a new one. Picking up the spark plug is inexplicably slow, crafting the bomb takes forever, and even just placing a bomb takes a noticeable amount of time. It’s a painfully clunky process.
This man is pay-to-lose, worse than launch Nancy. The only redeeming quality he has is his voice lines. And let’s be real—Bones probably won’t get fixed until next year because that’s just how GUN operates. They release half-baked DLC and leave it broken for ages. It’s clear they don’t even playtest their own game.

Its a good thing that GUN Media didnt take the loss of licencing towards TCM2 as too much of a defeat,but instead started talking with Bill Moseley (Chop Top) about voicing another character entirely,Bones.
Looks like they even tried somehow to make Bones look like him too.
A character right after release i loved,because he would come with the nicest voicelines towards Johnny like "They need to start taking better care of you up here!",and that line with "if everything goes Haywire around here,i know of a place....."
Its like he genuinly cares for and understands Johnny and his struggles within the family.
He is the first family character that does this,so i loved him right away. But that was quickly overshadowed by Bones being used constantly as a basement rusher on graveyard,where people has expressed concerns over not being able to memorize even the massive basement,before getting rushed and killed.
As a family main myself,i think of the best for both sides,wich noone else really does.
So even if TCM has been spoiled with alot of great content right now,the lobbies are being a major pain at the moment.
You feel like you waste hours and hours ingame,just trying to find that one lobby where you can actually play for abit,and have fun in.
I have not yet played Bones,i have had a few situations where i could have chosen him super quick,but i wanted Johnny instead. But for the majority the reason is all the selfish ones in this shrinking playerbase,that claims rights to a specific character,even if everyone else has just as much right to them as yourself. I just got to wait until people start tiring of the hype,and he becomes far more available. But so far he seems like a fun character,if played right.
I will probably make an edit to this once i have played him abit,to give a proper review.

Not impressed so far. Bones is exceptionally slow, and you're not able to equip scout on him to speed him up, many victims can flat outrun him, and a few have even figured out how much fun it is to run circles around him. His bombs are kind of bafflingly pointless, if a victim can see them then they can very easily set them off and avoid the blast, and even if they can't see it there's still a good chance they'll escape their effects. When the bombs go off, they can also stun nearby family members and even damage critical doors and such, and you can't really use them to guard objectives. He's a character that is basically designed to just hang out in the basement all match, which, from a victim point of view, he's easily avoidable as they know to just not go down there if he's in the match. In essence, he's pretty much the same thing as a basement dwelling sissy, except with an even poorer main ability.
In terms of the character himself, Bill Moseley performs his voice lines with very little energy or enthusiasm, seems like he's literally phoning it in, and the character's movements seem rather bizarre.
*edit* After playing the character more, my opinion has change slightly, but it's still negative. Bones does have a very powerful blood build available to him, however I'm sure this is just some sort of bug or oversight by the devs and will eventually be removed from him. Even the most powerful blood build in the world isn't very effective though, considering the ease which victims can attack grandpa and they can generally escape long before even bones can get him up to lv 5. Also, all of bones special perks seem to revolve around the fact that the character is supposed to be used as a chaser, yet he is clearly one of the worst chasers in the game due to the slowness not only of his running but also his special skills allowing him to go down wells and over barricades and through windows are so slow even when upgraded, it's hard to see any sort of use for them. It's way fast to just take the door outside than to jump out a window, it's way faster to take the stairs down to the basement than to jump down a well, it's way faster to just run around most obstacles than for bones to jump through them.
