    Biomutant has some of the better loot, crafting and character progression systems I've experienced in recent time, if not overall. This is surprising because this level of depth is pretty much AAA level, despite not being an AAA title.

    The game could use some improvements on the controls, it is fluid, but the animations and feedback could be better. Meanwhile the audio design for this game is abysmal, the cinematics are comically bad, but the graphics is good and the open world design (including the explorations, side quests, collectibles) is fantastic.

    Unfortunately, the developers somehow thought cheaping out on the voice acting and using a narrator for the entire game's storytelling was a good idea. News flash; it's not. In fact, even the writing for the narration wasn't good either. Turning it off in the settings just removes the auditory annoyance, but doesn't fix anything about the presentation of the story at all.

    I can't say I can fully recommend this game, as it has some quirks that mainstream players may not like (especially those that are used to the polish on AAA games). But in a larger sense, it is worth a try if you're buying it for less than half its ridiculous price tag.    … Expand

    People are giving this game an unfairly hard time in my opinion. The Sreenshots and Trailers show everything this game has to offer. No false marketing. No empty promises. What you see is what you get. And I got what i wanted: Having a blast playing it.

    Most flaws i see in other reviews are just lazily copied from reviewers giving CP 2077 10s across the board.

What you see is what you get. And I got what i wanted: Having a blast playing it.

    Most flaws i see in other reviews are just lazily copied from reviewers giving CP 2077 10s across the board. And we know how that turned out. Because you have to play this game for longer than a goshdarn hour to know what this game is about.

    Narration sucks? Turn him off in the Audio Settings.
    Combat sucks? Try something other than mashing buttons and you get the depth you want so badly.
    Story sucks? Play the Exploration Part of the Game instead and RP. Havent seen a good story in games for like 10 years, so no expectations were set. I just want to be a radioactive Catrat shooting big dudes in the face. You know... like what an RPG is about.
    World is Empty? This isn't Fallout where you find 20 guns and 50 scrap in a single hut. In most post-apocalyptic games it would come to mind that in a span of a couple hundred years 98% of stuff would've been looted already, right? Well, here we are. Finding the last remnants that were'nt found yet.
    Also the World is full with different Biomes to look at. Quite the Vibe-Game in that regard.
    Graphics suck? Depends on preference. Do you need 16k HyperHD Fur and Grass? For me, No. It's good.
    It's cozy to just walk around and you can easily lose yourself in the world for a couple hours. Vibe.
    Music sucks? Audio. Settings. Exist. Sometimes you need your own tunes to spice things up. I get that. I do it in almost every game now. But musical scores aren't everything. Suite yourself.

    So the heavens have not blessed us with a Gaming-Jesus yet again. So it's not the best game of the Millenium. Real Shocker. I say: So what? It's still a good Game.

    In summary: This game was made by a studio of 20 people. After years of making a game that doesn't need a 30GB Day 1 Patch for once and can present itself like it does it should have some value to ask from it's customers. People expect $120 content from a $60 game. The game economy is horrible as it is. Crunching, underpayment, people buying only under steep discounts, ect. The fact that we don't have to pay $80 for games yet is remarkable. Also Hype is never good for games. Dissapoints people more nowadays, because "It's not what i thought it would be"- Nonsense. Reflects in these mixed scores.

    Support people who did a good job. Buy it and try it. There is always refund if you don't like it. But you're missing out. This game is a gem. And a reminder that some people get filtered by a britishly narrated tutorial.    … Expand

    Biomutant is stunning and the gameplay feels solid after the first patch.
    Disable the narrator, camera shake, QTE and motion blur.

    So, we have a huge world to explore. The main story is deep and have a lot of unexpected turns. Boss fights are pretty good, crafting is great, tribes are cool though etc. Overall it feels like a Horizon Zero Dawn parody.

    Fun and easy gameplay, interesting world to interact with. The dialog gets a bit tiresome, they should figure out a patch to encapsulate the entire cut scene in a paragraph and get you back to exploring and fighting... like you hit A and it breezes through and leaves you with a synopsis of the results.

    El juego es hermoso en apartado gráfico y extenso mundo abierto.Tiene muchas formas de combate así que no se por que dicen q es repetitivo. Tiene muchas horas de juego(más de 30) y es adictivo... Se puede rejugar varías veces por qué tiene 5clases diferentes y rutas diferentes según la decisión q tomes. Lo único malo es los diálogos pero te los saltas y ya

    Decent game! Although it has some issues just like combat is not feeling right and the open story starts a bit slow with boring conversations; the musics and the main mechanics of the game have actually put me through that haunting world.
    Disclaimer: if you didn't like the main concept, this game might not address you.

    Pros:
    +El mundo es colorido y funciona muy bien, aunque a veces puede dar algún tironcillo.
    +El combate es algo visualmente espectacular, rápido y divertido, aunque también es fácil y puedes pasar todo el juego sin hacer combos.
    +Los jefes tienen mucha personalidad y el hecho de que las peleas contra estos necesiten un vehículo especifico me parece brutal.
    +El crafteo y la personalización del personaje es uno de los puntos mas fuertes de Biomutant.

    Contras:
    -El narrador no tiene demasiado carisma, pero se puede silenciar.
    -El sistema de Karma es una buena idea, pero no esta bien aprovechado para nada.
    -El sonido y la música es un gran problema para este juego en general.
    -El tutorial es algo lento.

    Conclusión:
    No es un mal juego, no es un juego perfecto, si tienes dudas pruébalo. Experiment 101 esta escuchando a los fans y esta trabajando para acabar de hacer que este juego sea una joyita, lo cual todavía me da esperanza para el mundo del gaming, en el que cada vez mas se hace la vista gorda con fallos grandes en juegos con mucho presupuesto, pero en cambio después se dice que no hay excusa para fallos pequeños aun siendo un estudio de solo 20 personas que nos han traído un juego pulido y fiel a sus promesas.    … Expand

I strongly suggest to simply ignore the reviews, which I gladly did, and play the game. Biomutant has this beatiful rich world, full of colours and awesome creatures and plants. It offers an awesome combat system, combined with this deep crafting and harvesting system. The controls are smooth and precise, the graphics and art style are astounding, the overall gameplay is also very good. Another great aspect of the game is the gear the main character uses and its customization, that alone is a very fun part of it.

    Biomutant has a class system, where you can choose the type of gameplay you'll develop throughout the game. The skill tree is huge, and the possibilities at building up your character are vast.

    The negative aspect of the game, in my opinion (so far, since I have just 25ish hours clocked in) is the lack of a variety in music (the OST is great, but it gives the impression that no matter where you go or what you do, it's always the main theme that's playing). Also, the story (then again, I haven't finished the game yet, keep that in mind) is apparently not very deep. So far, it's a shallow "post-apocalyptic world where the main character is the chosen one, and the events were caused by industries greed and oil spilled at the oceans", I sincirely hope it gets better.

    It's also important to notice that Biomutant had an update recently, so several points made in the early reviews are no longer valid.

    Concerning the bad reviews: I truly doubt 80% of the people who wrote one have actually played the game for more than 10 hours, because the majority of the aspects pointed out just doesn't make any sense if you played the game. Another aspect of it is people are taking things for granted nowadays. The fact that Biomutant was developed with a small team (20ish people), with a very small budget is awesome alone.

    Biomutant is not the best video-game of all time, and it clearly doesn't try to be. Still, a great game which brings a lot to the table, daring to run away of a lot of repetitive aspects very (re)used in the industry currently.

    I highly recommend you to play it.    … Expand

    4- the narration is superb, and the characters are quite beliavable

    5- i'd say the mainnissue seems to be that fights are seem too spaced appart and the story isn't well blended with the action, too many pauses between those aspects and that makes us the gamers loose interest in both at times. 6-the game might work great, on newer gpus, but it has some serious lags for some in between minimum and recomended specs (I5 10350, gtx 1650ti and 12 gb RAM) so there are some optimization issues.

After the tutorial I have to say I've had a lot of fun. Yeah...FUN. Which really most game nowadays don't deliver. Scenery is beautiful.

    The comic style queues and silliness of the game makes it a perfect fable like experience. I personally love the narrator. If you don't like him, you can lower the amount of time he speaks. There is a slider for that. I can see great potential in this game with a few patches. It is sad so many are bashing the game, or letting reviewers decide for them to not play it. I was on the fence, of course reviewers give you an opinion to make an oriented purchase. But, when there is so many mixed comments about the game. Best try it for yourself. Definitely not a Cyberpunk 2077 broken upon release... which stands on a positive status to this day. There are many that gave the game a negative NO because steam does not have a neutral score, but otherwise have enjoyed quiet a few aspects of the game. However, the final say its you and your wallet. Try it. Don't like it. Refund it. =)    … Expand

    This game is basically similar to Fallout 4 and somewhat similar to Mini Ninjas. The world is beautiful and huge, the gameplay is hard if you play melee even on "easy" its slightly brutal as the dodge and block tells are very hard to see. Ranged combat is a lot easier in my opinion. Just a    I want to start by saying this game is nothing like the Negative Youtube reviewers have stated.

    Just a heads up if you and your children can handle mild violence then this game would be perfect to play with them together, as its exactly aimed for all ages.

    +Exploration is huge in this game and really fun to navigate.
    +Character creation is amazing
    +The world does have lots of enemies but you must actively search for them.
    +The world is full of charming little puzzles all very similar but not exactly the same.
    +Side quests are everywhere which helps lead you to enemies if you are lost.
    +The stories are varied and two characters can have very different game plays
    +Loot is amazing every thing has a purpose even if at first you don't know what its for.
    +Crafting is humorous and fun at least i liked it
    +Ranged is a lot easier than melee
    +Gear is really strange and quite funny.
    +After the early tutorial the world opens up immensely.

    -The narrator is annoying to many (not me) but he can be disabled.
    -Enemies can be brutal for melee classes even on easy mode
    -Dodge and block combat tells are really hard to see mid fight which make melee very hard to play.
    -No motion Blur removal can make customers sick ((me included) is it being added)

    For myself on an older PC the game has run very smooth and sweet and my Cpu is below recommended Core i5 3470 but still runs this fine, my Nvidia GTX 1060 6gb has had no hitches or stutter and zero crashes so far on 460.97 drivers. I even run the game on a standard Harddrive WD 1tb blue.

    I would have loved a fog removal option to make the game less intensive on pc's.

    So if you are looking for a Samurai styled cutesy version of Fallout 4 pretty much down to the wire go no further than Biomutant, and for me i've had zero issues the negative reviewers have said.

    One last thing i'd like to thank 101 for this game, its been a few years since i've enjoyed an open world sandbox game this much thanks. Great game all round.    … Expand

    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.
