    The story is your typical humans destroyed the environment and now it's the future where you have to save the world, it's nothing special besides the earth was taken over by mutated intelligent animals.

    Pros: Scenery - You can tell they spent a lot of time working on the scenery. It looks very pretty; the color schemes are usually vivid and on point which makes running around the map    The story is your typical humans destroyed the environment and now it's the future where you have to save the world, it's nothing special besides the earth was taken over by mutated intelligent animals.

    Pros:
    Scenery - You can tell they spent a lot of time working on the scenery. It looks very pretty; the color schemes are usually vivid and on point which makes running around the map kinda soothing. The interiors are well done, although reused a lot.

    Open world - Map is pretty big and you can just up and go explore pretty much wherever and whenever you want to. This has always been a plus in rpg games to have exploration freedom.

    Crafting/weapons - There's a large amount melee and ranged weapons of all sorts in the game and everything is customizable/craftable. From the hilt on a sword to add-ons for the blade, different handles on a gun to the sight and barrel, all the way to adding armor to your clothing, it's all changeable. So you totally have a lot of freedom there.

    Cons:
    The narrator - and this is a big part for the cons so I'll break it down into a few points.
    1. There's only 3 voice actors so far in the entire game. 2 of them are good and evil fairies that show up when you do some quest choices (so rarely) and re rest of the entire game is voiced entirely by the narrator. He does everything from translate the npc's animal giberish, tip pop ups, memory triggers, environmental ques, what your character is doing on screen at the moment, all the way to little quips and musings every 2 minutes. It's incredibly annoying, and makes the whole apocalyptic feeling go away which just makes the game very boring.
    2. The dialog - The way that dialog works with npc's is this. The animal says something in giberish. You press A. The narrator explains what it said. You press A again (do this 4 or 5 times more). Then it gives you a chance to select 1 out of 2 or 3 responses/questions (That you never get to ask the others you didn't pick) followed by more of the giberish, press A, narrator, press A. It seems like at least half if not more of your gameplay is going to be mashing A to get out of dialog.
    3. It treats you like you're a child. The way the narrator talks to you is exactly how you would talk and explain things to a small child. By dumbing down what you're saying while giving it the "This is so exciting" cheeky sound to it. Perhaps this game was made for children and they just marketed it wrong? Mhhh. The narrator holds your hand through everything so puzzles and wondering what to do next in a quest is irrelevant. Having to look for loot and items doesn't matter since the narrator pretty much tells you something is right there. The whole thing is just a bad experience on the game, to why the devs decided to do it that way is a mystery.

    Cut scenes - There are so many dammed cut scenes and dialog in this game that honestly they should have just made this a movie instead of a game. in 10 hours playtime, 3 hours is exploring the actual game and 7 hours is cut scenes and dialog. It's so boring that I have to force myself to keep playing hoping that it's gonna get better but I seriously have my doubts.

    Combat - The combat has a lot to be desired. There's a huge lack of enemy variety, just different colors and 3 or 4 sizes. The game relies on enemies being bullet sponges to give the "feeling" of difficulty, with combat being a somewhat rarity in this game, it really is a big let down. Every weapon has only one attack, however you can unlock more attacks/attack styles in the form of attack combos. Pretty quick it's forcing you to try and remember 20 different button combinations to preform attacks that it just ends up being a button mashing game. (This game really really needs a lock on button)

    Karma system - I guess this is the rpg aspect that they were going for? Karma is on a point system, do a good thing and get a good point, do a bad thing and get a bad point. Your point totals affect the ending and some quest choices and let you unlock and use certain abilities. This normally is pretty good in rpg games, but here the main source of getting karma points is catching these little critters and either petting them for a good point or killing them for a bad point. So pretty much you can catch a bunch of them and both kill / pet them to unlock every ability to use. For the ending (based on quests so far) I'm 99% sure if you want the good, just go pet a few critters and so your good points is bigger than the bad points and boom, good to go.

    Character creation and leveling up - One of the big points the devs made was that there's a vast amount character creation and build making... There's really not. There's 5 or 6 races with about 6 faces with different sizes, color, and a build class. Making a build is a joke since every time you level up, you can increase a stat by 10 points, and you can use every weapon (level depending) on any build with no negatives

    I spent the first hour of Biomutant begging the game to stop with the god-awful narration and dialogue. I pleaded to just let me fight the enemies - no need to ZOOM in on the enemy every time I enter the room and make me wait 5-10 seconds before regaining control. Please, Biomutant, PLEASE let me skip these cutscenes in which nothing happens in the most boring manner imaginable.

Biomutant is in the business of several overlapping gameplay systems, all of which feel unrewarding, unsatisfying, and like an eternal grind. What's most staggering is that this game did not have to be bad. Cut out 90% of its dialogue, hire an actor capable of delivering two sentences differently, and CUT TO THE CHASE when it comes to gameplay, and this could have been a decent title. But Biomutant seems to think that spinning its wheels is more fun than going anywhere.… Expand

    pros -Great world, enjoying the scenery -great battles, like wildstar mmo, you have to move and dodge, unless you deadeye in which case you just pew pew cons -Game gets repetitive. Like farcry go there liberate fight 4 small guys and one big guy. same with    4 bc them devs did put their heart into this. But it has so many flaws, Review after reaching 57% total completion

    pros

    -Great world, enjoying the scenery
    -great battles, like wildstar mmo, you have to move and dodge, unless you deadeye in which case you just pew pew

    cons

    -Game gets repetitive. Like farcry go there liberate fight 4 small guys and one big guy. same with exploration go to house, search get useless loot, move on, search that gas station,loot, move on repeat ad infititum.

    -same with bosses. find quest giver to fix a tank mech etc, he will send you to gather something, then ammo, then fight boss x4

    -flying mount doesnt fly, you cant summon your mounts anywhere you like, same with the sea mount, you need to find an engine to move freely otherwise its useless.

    -getting drowned in 3 inches of water. So if your target is 15 feet away you have to take the round route to get there

    -too much blah blah, ecology is nice and all but it doesnt help the story in this game, i didnt care for any character or anything else that is going on

    - loot, it has so much loot that i felt like i raided kharazsan-naxxramas-molten core-gruls lair times 50. And its crap, you will literally get bored scraping loot to upgrade one or two weapons.

    - character creation. I dont know about others but i spend all my points in luck. Enemies melt by them crits. other than that i didnt botherr with either kung fu or anything else. Its the most boring lv up system. Even perks are numbered and not worthy besides a couple

    Here is the thing. Its nice to have a big game to play for hours since you paid 60 euros. Its not nice for the game to be big doing the same stuff over and over and over. Put interesting quests, every quest should feel like a unique adventure. Not go here open fire, go there open fire, come back and listen to blah blah blah blah every single time.

    I suggest watching some yt videos for 2-3 hours and decide if you want to spend your money on this or buy something else.    … Expand

    Cyberpunk rushed it with a huge finacial success, now other studios are taking the same root.

    To gain quality and engagement we should don‘t buy games before release. It forces the devs to take their time to guarantee a reward.

    For now it is really sad to see what games are in the prive category of AAA titles and the people buy them anyways. It destroys the market and the prinic of the artful creation of video games.

    Back to the game: besides the grafics (which are copy-paste from mid to late game) everything feels untinished. The combat system is a shame and the dialogues with this speaker are the hell.

    The gameplay may be stale, repetitive, unimaginative, and completely without depth, and the story may be so low-effort stupid yet endlessly, unforgivably wordy as to deter anyone capable of reading or understanding spoken language, but at least Biomutant has an empty and lifeless open world with nothing to do or explore in it.

Но не смог , Нету чувства причастности к происходящему, бессмысленные диалоги. Играть становиться скучно и я засыпаю . Игра не стоит своих денег максимум 15$ и то я советую сначала скачать игру с торрентов посмотреть, если вам понравится купите игру .

    El juego lastra problemas con el sistema de combate. No tiene feedback ninguno, golpear a un enemigo es como golpear al aire. No es satisfactorio en ningún momento. Las animaciones son muy pobres así como las cinematicas que parecen sacadas de un juego pocho de la ps1.
    El mundo está vacío, es inmenso pero carece totalmente de vida y de interés por recorrerlo. El doblaje es lamentable y no tiene justificación alguna. El juego no hace nada bien. Intenta abarcar demasiado y hacer demasiadas cosas cuándo ninguna consigue implantarla correctamente. Lo ideal habría sido concentrarse en el sistema de combate y hacerlo bueno y tras eso haber hecho todo lo demás. No estaban capacitados para hacer un juego tan grande como querían hacer. Una lastima.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm pretty sure that the developers of this game aren't gamers themselves. This game is the ultimate mishmash of every bad decision you could've made while developing the various aspects of it.

    First off: character creation. Your looks are directly tied to your attributes. Does that make as little sense as it sounds? Absolutely. What's even worse, these attributes are all different parts of a circle, and you move a slider around in that circle to determine your strongest stats. So that also means that opposite ends of the circle can never be your two big stats. Want a charismatic and agile character, like I did? Well, screw you very much, because those two stats are on opposite ends of that circle.

    You then get dropped into a lengthy tutorial. And by lengthy, I mean LENGTHY. So you'd think that such an extensive tutorial would explain some unique mechanics, right?

    Right?

    Wrong.

    This tutorial will teach you such amazing techniques like jumping! And shooting! And hitting things! And it does it in the looooooooooongest way possible. By the time you're past this tutorial, you'll actually have learned nothing you couldn't have figured out by just playing the damn game, which it won't let you do because it just loves itself so much it keeps bombarding you with cutscene after cutscene, a lot of them unskippable.

    Oh, and the most asinine part about this whole tutorial thing? There are actual interesting game mechanics in here that do require some explanation, and you don't get to see those - again with tutorials much too long for comfort - until what feels like an eternity later. And these tutorials are pretentious as all hell. I mean, they made a flashback scene, a separate character and, again, a looooong dialog before AND after the fact, to teach you how to.... swim.

    That's right. To swim. Which is literally "jump in the water and move like you always do".

    Tutorials aside, the game also interrupts you constantly to tell you more about the story. The developers promised "an unusual story with an unusual end". The story? The world ended, humans are gone, and now there are big beasts rampaging over the world. The end. One sentence to summarize the whole premise, yet somehow, this game manages to bore you to tears with slow exposition after slow exposition.

    Oh, and that exposition? This ENTIRE game is voiced by ONE guy, the Storyteller. Yes, one guy. And he is mindboggingly condescending. He will literally describe EVERYTHING you do. Even the characters you meet. They all talk to you in some kind of Sims language, then they pause, and the narrator translates. Effectively doubling all conversation time, and again, making everything way longer than it should be. What was wrong with just subtitling them in English if you couldn't be bothered to get actual voice actors?

    On to gameplay... This 60$ game feels like a budget game. Character animations are stiff, movement feels janky and not natural, and my god, the combat is absolutely boring. Every enemy is an absolute hitsponge, and the entire combat system is broken due to the sheer fact that you can kill EVERYONE, including bosses, with one strategy: dodge and shoot. The game has mutation skills that you can use, but, really, just dodge and shoot. It might take a while because, y'know, hitsponges, but trust me, everything will die. Even if you fight like the game meant you to, it's still extremely boring and frustrating. By the way, there's no target lock option, and your enemies barely flinch when you melee attack them and can still move around or even attack you mid-combo, so good luck trying to get those combos to stick.

    Graphics are OK, but nothing special. Yes, the game is colorful, and yes, there's a lot of foliage and nature, but nothing here has any character. It's "generic tree #7" over there and "generic Japanese looking building #4" over there. All of the scenery you see here, has been done a thousand times over in other, better games. Oh, and the fur, especially on the bigger creatures, looks god-awful. Like a bad Photoshop smear awful. You'd think a game that centers around furries, would at least get the damn fur right.

    In short: this game tries to do a lot of things, and ends up failing at pretty much all of them. I'd be slightly peeved, but acceptant, if this game was priced at, say 20$, but at a full priced 60$, this is just a plain ripoff to avoid at all costs.    … Expand

    Weapon customization is a highlight. The customization for weapons should be included in more games.

    The world, while beautiful (this is not saying much since every game is beautiful these days), is completely and utterly lifeless and boring. It's wide as a mile and shallow as a puddle. Enemies are incredibly scarce and it's boring and repetitive with nearly every quest being a fetch quest. This is boring and lazy game design.

    Character creation is way overhyped. You are limited to very few actual options for your character and I'm truly confused why anyone thinks this character creator is good or even comparable to actual good character creators.

    The story is awful and the choices you make have no real impact on it. You have two possible endings, based on your "alignment." Prepare to be preached at about pollution for 20 hours. The game feels as if it sets up 3 different narratives in the first hour of the game and never concludes any of them in a way that is satisfying.

    Characters are lifeless and dull and the narrator will drive you insane since he never shuts up. You can turn this off in the features, but then all you are left with is an even more empty, lifeless world.

    Sound is abysmal. It constantly sounds (or doesn't) as if there are several audio layers missing from the mix. Feedback is terrible and many cutscenes occur without the natural sounds you would expect. It's very clunky and lackluster.

    This game is overhyped trash. Do not waste your time or money on this. If it ever drops down to $30 and you really love open world RPG's, maybe pick it up. Otherwise, steer clear.

The pacing of dialogue is atrocious with most characters grunting for way too long before the narrator begins his dialogue and trying to skip the grunting often results in accidentally skipping the narration, that is the important part. Aside from that, the narrator just becomes a nuisance. You can turn him off, but after a point, I just cringed when I heard him talking again.

    Combat is exciting and offers some variety, but is by no means that rewarding. Sure you can do flashy combos and cool moves, but by and large the reward for doing so is not worth it. You will take a ton of damage to do nothing other than look flashy. On hard mode, enemies are just bullet sponges, so I ended up just optimizing for damage because slapping enemies with the wet noodle of a melee weapon you have often results in the most risk or some stun-lock insta-death. This made combat a grind. Perhaps it will be fixed, but the problems are glaringly obvious.

    Exploration is the most redeeming part of this game. Going from environment to environment was enjoyable with each new place offering something of value. Unfortunately, the lack of valuable rewards (especially at higher levels) and the repetitious enemy spawns turn this into an uninteresting grind yet again.

    Before long, the game had hardly any merit left and I found myself abandoning it all together after around 30+ hours of game time and after completing most the story and many side quests. Perhaps I'll pick it up at a later time, but other games simply do what this game attempts to do, but better.    … Expand

    70% of your time in Biomutant is spent in unforgivably bad cutscenes and extraordinarily dull item menus. The open world? Linear and empty. The gameplay? So plodding and plain it makes you wonder if THQ Nordic wanted any part of this game to be fun or enjoyable at all.

    New trend of games sold based on hype, gameplay is barebones but looks flashy so people enjoy it on trailers then sell a good amount on release for full price. Very misleading dev also saying that it resembles great games like Zelda BOTW. Looks like lying is very lucrative on this industry at least in the short term.

    This game utter fails on everything, it tries to do a lot and managed to fail on every single part.

    First of all the combat is a joke, its boring, it feels clunky, it has low skills, just button mash, its a tedious boring part of the game. The bosses are like, build a mech and fight it....so ok something else then the actual combat and they are not hard or anything just build, repeat.

    The narration is honestly an utter joke, could be one of the weirdest thing I have ever seen, the characters all speak in Gibberish and then the narrator explains what they say, so u gotta listen to the gibberish and then have the narrator say what they say................WOOOT

    Fake open world, invisible walls etc.

    This is yet another miserly game with zero creativity or any good ideas, it just tries to take from other games and performs worse in every aspect.

    Dont pre order stuff from this publisher, they always fail, they are unable to get actual competent people, only thing they can do is do these bad copies of actually good games.    … Expand

    I will be blunt: Whoever worked on the game design of Biomutant should never forgive whoever worked on the story of Biomutant. There is a chance that the game could have stood on its gameplay alone if the story did not take up the majority of the player's time. The storytelling principle of "show, don't tell" isn't just ignored but is rejected with near religious fervor.

The storytelling principle of "show, don't tell" isn't just ignored but is rejected with near religious fervor. Imagine a game with as unique a look as Biomutant telling its entire story by freezing the gameplay and running dialogue over static camera angles. The voice of a single very blandly campy narrator permeates Biomutant like a disease, even with narration dialogue set to a minimum. And to be clear, the gameplay is nothing to write home about. It's maybe even kind of bad. As I'm writing these words, I'm realizing that I don't want to play the game, I just desperately want to not experience one more line of dialogue. Don't purchase.… Expand

    If I didn't buy it on G2A , I would've gotten a refund. Played for maybe 2 hours, got annoyed with the narrator and quit playing. Nothing but regret. This game is worth $10 at most. There's nothing innovating about it, which would be fine, if it wasn't just so damn boring. I swear I wanna watch the narrator burn a thousand deaths

    Wo wir beim Erzählen sind, die Story ist sau schlecht und wird dazu noch echt gelangweilt erzählt, als wäre das alles nicht schon schlimm genug, sprechen die ganzen Viecher im Game auch nur sog. "Kauderwelsch", das kann man in 25% Schritten verringern und ist auch zu empfehlen, das ist nämlich nicht mehr labern, sondern einfach nur schädlich für die Ohren!

    Erstellt bloß keine Fernkampfklasse, das Anvisieren ist nämlich echt schrott, wobei kann ich das so überhaupt sagen? Anvisieren gibt es ja gar nicht, genau so wenig die festlocken, wollt ihr einen Gegner treffen müsst ihn schon auf ihn zulaufen, bei Nahkampf wäre das noch einigermaßen hinnehmbar, aber bei Fernkampfwaffe nicht zielen zu können ist schon echt dämlich.

    Das Konzept ist ja ganz gut, wirklich eine tolle Idee auf die Umweltverschmutzung hinzuweisen und der Plan der Umsetzung mit einem kleinen Waschbär, der gegen mutierte Tiere in verschiedenen Biomen in einer Open World kämpft, aber halt einfach extrem ♥♥♥♥♥ umgesetzt.

    Das Spiel ist auf einem Entwicklungsstand von 1997 nur mit mehr Bugs, ich werde nie wieder auf eine Empfehlung von GameStar hören, einzig und allein die Beiträge von GameTwo sind ehrlich, wirklich schade, dass ich es ein paar Wochen zu früh vorbestellt hatte.    … Expand

    The game is really empty. It lags in closed rooms and you get to listen to the same voice over and over again because the NPCs do not talk and the narrator needs to speak for them.

    Truly an unpleasant game.

    The open-world aspect of Biomutant did more harm than good, with the gargantuan, post-apocalyptic realm this heroic, mutated rodent will explore being mostly an empty one, and with the rest of the experience being repetitive and unpolished. More of a disappointment rather than a bad game, try it out only if willing to spend around many fun, but not that fun hours.

    Biomutant is like layers and layers of great ideas drawn on an imperfect mindmap. A great cornerstone to build upon, but still lacking in remaining coherent. Still - great fun in short amounts.

    Biomutant conquers a prominent place in the ever-expanding universe of open world games. While it doesn't innovate in the mechanics it employs, it implements them intelligently, giving us plenty of reasons to explore a vibrant and gaudy world filled with adorable creatures.
