    There are some cool concepts buried in here, but you really have to dig through the incessant narrator, soulless world, and bland gameplay to get there. Ultimately this game would have benefited from stripping some features and putting more focus into just a few.

    Beautiful world but the game is apsolutely flat. Quests are very boring, especialy side quests. They literaly make you collect wood and go from one side of the map to the next. Combat is ok but nothing more. Soulless game.

    Easily the worst game i’ve ever played, boring, stupid, overpriced and worst of all broken, game kept crashing every 20-30 minutes. The story is terrible, the gibberish is awful and the narrator is annoying, overall do not recommend this game.

    Review só pra lembrar a nota que dei pro jogo:
    Eu não suporto esse jogo, desde os nomes que deram pra tudo, como o combate chato e repetitivo, ou a história esdrúxula por ser tão horrível.

    Il gioco non offre niente di nuovo, trama banale e gameplay pessimo.

    Il calo di frame continuo non permette di godersi a pieno questa esperienza, senza contare degli evidenti bug grafici.

    Ciliegina sulla torta? La voce narrante: veramente insopportabile.

    Terrible pacing, awful story telling, gameplay is a slog… WHAT HAPPENED?!

    The game has some good fun, but you have to look past a terrible buggy experience.

    It’s not fun, and it’s incredibly hard to enjoy.

    I have never experienced such a complicated menu navigation. This detail alone made it so I threw this thing off the hard drive again. I can only issue an absolute warning. better buy something else there are many games that make everything better.

Targeting, if you can call it that, is terrible. I could go on but honestly dont even bother. I only gave it a 4/10 because its an interesting concept but even then the story is pretty bad to. Basically "save the trees, people ruined the enviroment" blah blah blah we have heard it a billion times now.… Expand

    Este juego hace absolutamente TODO mal, los tutoriales son demasiado largos, el narrador es insufrible, el combate no está pulido, el mundo esta muerto y la narrativa es aburrida y nada interesante. da igual que el juego sea indie, tener un estudio pequeño no te excusa de sacar un juego mediocre. Lo siento, pero no vale la pena.

    Review: Sadly I have to say this game is not finished at all. At least three more years of developement would have been necessary to make this game good. The graphics of how the grass and the trees move or the climbing are just horrible. The fighting system is so messy and chaotic there are no things like clean and smart combos. I also miss quick time events, challenging climbing or tricky puzzles. Everything is too simple - unlimited sprinting, ammo and attack power make it far too easy. The world is like No Mans Sky: sometimes quite nice from outside but empty when you begin to explore. There is nothing but tons of loot and some enemies. It is not worth exploring the world - there are no hidden secrets, things to discover or side quests that lure you deeper into this world. You never get a connection to any of the characters or tribes so you never feel any kind of reason to save the world or help them. The karma and decission system is totally pointless. You can redeem your karma if you have done something bad already with the next decission you make - there are never any consequences you must face. Additionally switching between good and evil choices seems to confuse the dialogues a lot - they make even less sense than they already do (and they are very VERY meaningless and stupid most of the time). The game often tells you to talk whith a caracter but they don't have anything at all to say to you. Sometimes while fighting big enemies when you dodge and get too far away from them they loose interest and go away which resets their health bar (this is so annoying). The big boss fights against the world eaters are not a little bit exciting, sadly they are buggy as hell and way too scripted. Be careful the game is not able to reset you in a safe zone if you die too deep in for example a heat zone - you will get stuck in a death loop and only way to get out is loose all your progress since last manual save. The whole game especially the conquering of other tribes outposts is really repetative and if you are playing as a good guy it ends already after 2 tribes and you've got peace with everybody (even less gameplay). And not forget to mention a story is almost not existant - I don't want to spoiler but between the boss fights (the main target of the game) and the decission for the evil root there are very huge contradictions in logic. It almost feels like the game is only developed to choose a "good" tribe so it leads to the good ending - the evil way is not integrated in the story or the gameplay at all since you do the same exact tasks as if you were good even though it makes no sense. Why would I fight the world eaters (which prevents them to destroy the tree) if I am evil and want exactly this to happen??? This is really frustrating. The whole idea is creative but this isn't even a B ranked game - don't know what I spent 60€ for. There would be so much more to criticise but I want to end my review here. After 12h I finished the game, only reason I finished it is because I am so angry I spent so much money for a this crap.    … Expand

    Biomutant is a game that excels in the early beginning of the game. But the longer you play, the more cracks begin to show. Almost no variation of enemies, boring & easy combat, childish names and stupid narrator.

    I played for about 4 hours now and had to come in here to see what others think about it. My take: 1. Very flimsy and weird combat. Not satisfying at all. It also feels weak and the controls aren’t good. 2. You can’t lock on enemies more than a couple of seconds. If you shoot or evade it let’s go of the lock. Extremely frustrating. 3.

Like he read though all of the dialogue in one go an afternoon without seeing the game and the developers just added in bits and pieces here and there. 5. World is just empty. I think I’m going to do one more quest and probably just sell it if doesn’t suddenly by a miracle get better.… Expand

    is it a small team? yes, is it a 60 bucks game? of course not
    lacking polishing and immersive details this game feels rushed and too occupied bearing and dealing with what the team offered at the beginning
    i can even believe this is what people who supported the game from the beginning and bought collectors edition are receiving

    The main issue with this game on PS4 is how poor it runs. Even turning the frame rate down doesn't help with the drops and general stuttering that happens when you're just running around the map. Add a bunch of enemies on top of that and it literally gave me a headache when I was trying to maneuver around during combat. Disappointed that I can't get a refund.

    The game tries to be innovative and cute, but unfortunately after few hours it gets boring repetitive and extremely annoying. After some time I had to play on mute just not to hear the narrator for a while. And the puzzle is so easy it's insulting. Even for children... On top of that at least one trophy seems to be bugged. It is pretty tho. Eye candy with nothing much to offer...

    For on open-world action RPG developed by a handful of people, Biomutant makes a very striking impression. It’s hard for me to imagine someone not falling in love with the beautiful, unique world conjured up by Experiment 101. Sure, the game as a whole is not perfect, but if a sequel is ever created, I’ll be the first in line to play it. [07/2021, p.38]

    From creating your own character to a wide array of vehicles and a unique world, there’s a lot to love in Biomutant – which makes its shallowness all the more disappointing. The inconsistent battle system and the amount of bugs doesn’t make things any better. While the game certainly knows how to hook you, the fun doesn’t last very long.

    Biomutant tries to do a lot of interesting things. It offers a potentially captivating world and unique crafting mechanics. Even the combat's fine, on the surface. The game, however, doesn't exactly play well, with clumsy controls, repetitive missions and an overemphasis on drawn-out dialogue that bores instead of inspires. This really could (and should) have been a lot better than it is.
