    No where near as bad as what people are saying, not sure what people were expecting. I'd give it a 7/10 myself, but putting 10 to counter the ridiculous 0s from people expecting every release to be a billion dolla AAA game (and even a lot of those suck anyway, cough cough AC Valhalla)

    I’ve honestly struggled between a 7 and an 8 over the last couple days but I’m landing on an 8. The developers have created a unique and gorgeous world to explore with different biomes and creatures, mounts and mechs, blimps and whales.

Will definitely be putting tens of more hours into this game before setting it down. Also I paid $59.99 Canadian for this on the PS store so I have no idea why everyone is talking about this game being AAA price. For %75 of the price of a AAA title I’m hooked.… Expand

    Las primera hora de juego pueden resultar un poco engañosas porque tiene un desarrollo anormal y lento (por los diálogos). Pero superando el tutorial el juego mejora notablemente y realmente se disfruta la exploración. Puedo afirmar que el mapa tiene muy buena vista y no lo siento como un mundo vacío, es más se siente que se ha hecho con bastante cariño

    Having a blast so far. I don’t mind the narrator, the gameplay is actually quite fun, the world is beautiful and enemy design isn’t bad either. Lots to do in way of quests and crafting. It has a charm. I love the exploration. Overall it isn’t bad at all. Perhaps expectations were too high from that one announcement years ago?

    At the time I reached lvl 23 with my deadeye class, but I haven't progressed much in the main story. I only fought 1 enemy clan and since then doing lots of side quests and clearing the areas I discovered. Which also means I haven't fought a world eater yet even though I fulfill the requirements to fight 2 of them. My progress reflects that I really enjoy the exploration in this game.

Which also means I haven't fought a world eater yet even though I fulfill the requirements to fight 2 of them. My progress reflects that I really enjoy the exploration in this game. Even at lvl 20+ I discover new things and riddles that I haven't seen before. I also like the crafting, it feels rewarding to upgrade your weapon to become better and better. I basically sticked to the first weapons I got since you can transform weapons in any type you want. Combat is also fun, you benefit a lot from combos and you can vary different abilities psi + bio with your preferred playstyle ( crowd control, dots, DMG). I also like the different zones, and that there's stuff to do by mech or jetsky. The mix is good. But the game also has some flaws I would like to see patched like minor bugs or stuff like an option to dismantle useless items when you loot them, right now loot goes straight to your inventory and once you start crafting you will first spend 5 mins dismantling everything you don't need. And in most cases dismantling is better than selling since you need lots of mats for crafting and even more to upgrade. Just keep 3-4 expensive items for sale is enough. I recommend playing on hard. It's not that hard really... And playing on easy or medium takes fun out of the game cause you just buttonsmash everything and won't need any combo or super wung Fu.ps: Would normally give 8/10 but I'd like to balance out the haters giving 0-3 which has nothing to do with constructive criticism.… Expand

The amount of customization in this game is next level. I usually get fed up with crafting and would rather just play the game with something pre made, but the crafting system in biomutant is pretty intuitive. There’s no confusion and the menus are easy to navigate for it. All in all Biomutant is a flawed but incredibly fun game and in my opinion worth every penny.… Expand

    Bio-Mutant is a game for people who actually like games; it isn't a pretentious political analysis ripe with virtue signalling, diversity quotas and mainstream media approved political opinions (Critic bait), it is simply a fun light hearted adventure set in a unique and beautifully crafted world inhabited by martial arts muppets.

    Traversal of Bio-Mutants open world is an absolute joy, character movement, abilities and mounts make what is normally a monotonous open world experience one of Bio-Mutants greatest assets, a feat few open world games can claim.

    The combat is simple to pick up, it's fluid and satisfying, although familiar in many ways clearly taking inspiration from multiple popular action games, Bio-mutant still maintains a uniqueness in it's execution. A large selection of weapons and abilities offer a variety of ways in which you can approach combat. Your arsenal consists of Melee and ranged weapons as well as offensive abilities (Psi and Bio), there are multiple types of melee and ranged weapons allowing for the creation of very unique and numerous playstyles.

    The extensive crafting system is a min-maxers dream allowing you to heavily focus your stats around your chosen playstyle, it's not revolutionary, however it is very well implemented, easy to use and also affects equipment appearance.

    If you long for a time when games were made to be fun and not to be some attempt at high "art" Bio-Mutant may very well be the game for you, I'm thoroughly enjoying my time with it and I'm sure you will too.    … Expand

    I should start by saying 95% of games I play are of the open world rpg variety. I've sunk hundreds if not thousands of hours over the years into games like BOTW, Borderlands, Fallout, and Outerworlds, Red Dead Redemption, ect. so I think I have a solid understanding of all the aspects that make them enjoyable and not so enjoyable.

So far I have about 40 hours of play time in Biomutant and I gotta say my honest opinion is that although it lacks depth and scale compared to other AAA rpg's I have played I still think its a wonderfully crafted game that is both beautiful and charming. Its relaxing to play and I love its quirky characters and story telling. Not to mention the character armor and weapon crafting is super satisfying. It seems a main complaint from players and critics is that after awhile the game feels repetitive but I know if you play any rpg long enough they all get repetitive. In every rpg i've ever played at some point or another I inevitably find myself racing through what seems like a never ending chain of fetch quest in order to finally feel the sense of achievement I get from advancing the main story without skipping anything along the way. I think the real issue with Biomutant is that some of the side missions and puzzles are too similar or simply repeated throughout the entirety of the game which I will agree makes the game feel basic and/or dated. Some people are also crying about the narrator being overbearing and claiming the names the game uses to describe things is too silly or childish. I didn't have a problem with either of these issues, for starters there is an option in the game menu to lessen the frequency that you hear the narrators voice while you play and as far as the silly naming conventions, they are no different then similar made up words used in movies like Willy Wonka, Harry Potter, or the B.F.G to list a few examples, all of which are very popular very successful movies. Other than that I really don't have anything critical to point out about the game. I really enjoy the oriental overtones in the games music score, artistic style, and combat mechanics which I feel all work together to bolster the colorful and beautifully designed world environments. Bottom line I really like Biomutant and I hope that it is successful enough where the small dev team that made it can continue to build upon the great foundation they have created and get to work crafting a bigger and better sequel in the future. 10 out of 10 to offset negative reviews I think are completely unjustified.

    I'm sorry to need to offset it with a 10/10 here, in reality my vote is basically an 8.
    Let's break down the reasons.

    TECH
    GRAPHICS | 9: game is gorgeous, lush and vibrant environment, dense. Think of Horizon Zero Dawn. Not a 10 because there is a tiny bit of repetition especially in insides / bunkers
    SOUND | 8: does it's job, no outstanding OST or anything but just the right support to the game play

    GAMEPLAY
    COMBAT | 7: this is a mixed one for me. I love combat but I feel it could be polished a little bit more. What is lacking the most is "weight" especially in the melee, a more responsive and clean parry and a balancing (ranged can get overpowered fast, needs to be toned down a lot). Would be interested to have more often enemies resistant to to melee, ranged or powers
    EXPLORATION | 10: this is one of my favourite sides. I always feel encouraged to look each nook and cranny to find scrap and use it for crafting. Tons of secrets, funny and quirky things to discover. Many traversal options with vehicles, mounts and "parkour" via double jumps and weapons combos
    CRAFTING | 10: another easy top vote, hands down the best crafting system I ever seen in a RPG. NOT BOUND TO A STUPID SKILL. Tons of configurations. Results can be broke back down to their components. Very fun to create crazy weapons mixing and matching scrap. I SO LOVE IT.
    CHARACTER PROGRESSION | 8: there are ton of option, the fact that you are virtually never locked out of options is both a strength and a weakness. I cannot push the score higher here (and maybe is even generous) because sometimes the choices feel impactless, and maybe a bit more restrictions would be beneficial. Also not a fan of flat skill trees, I think it adds more depth if the skills are lined in paths to take and go deeper

    STORY
    OVERALL | 6: here we are touching the very weak points. Story is there, adds the right context to the overall world but it never got me hooked. I didn't find it compelling or special.
    DELIVERY | 5: here the weakest point for me. The character don't have interesting dialogues, often they repeat themselves. The narrator, while a reasonable choice for a "fable" as the devs call it, removes TOO MUCH SOUL from any character... they should have been voiced independently to make them memorable. Also the continuous presence of this voice makes the overall experience very flat an monotonous. I'm aware this will come down to personal choice, but is kinda objective that a different direction would have made the story and the character much more interesting and likeable. I'm aware you can disable it but that's not the point: he's the main pillar of the narration, the solution isn't muting it. I have too say it it wasn't always negative, he made me chuckle lot of times but he generally overstays his welcome after a while.    … Expand

Don't listen to all the pretentious critic reviews that have been circulating online.… Expand

Even just the physical copy and return it if it’s not your cup of tea. Honestly seeing this get panned gives me very little hope for the gaming community. Which is hyper focused on shooters, gore and over the top cinematic. This game has been lovingly crafted for years by a small group of people. Does it have its issues, of course. But it most certainly does not ruin the experience. Once through the tutorial the world opens up and the vision comes to life. This is a love letter to simpler times when games were made to be fun, quirky and make us feel like a child again. The combat, crafting, exploration is all top notch. And open world games being some of the hardest games to make this is truly an achievement and testament of this small studios talent and creativity. Sure, everything could always be better but just this once stop listening to critics and give this game a chance. It deserves it.… Expand

    I was hyped before the launching and then after some reviews I got little bit sad to buy the game. Even though I bought it and for my surprising I love it. It is true the narrative is not good but I liked to explore the world to find new items and craft some awesome weapons.

    The game is good and the best price for it would be US 40.

    I have put 30 plus hours into the game playing on hard. the first three hours of this game is atrocious with constant stopping of gameplay for dialogue and janky cutscenes and an endless amount of tutorial boxes popping up.
    but after leaving the tutorial area and going into the actual world I was having a blast. the exploration is fun finding loot to craft into stronger weapons or scraping for more materials to craft. I haven't been this intrigued by loot since borderlands. the way you can customize the weapons give it a unique look that make it feel more personal than most games. I wish more games can adopt this crafting system like dying light 2.
    The world is gorgeous in motion and have really foo draw distance it was cool seeing an area then realizing i cant o in there yet till i required the right gear for the element. I felt like so far I have been always working towards something. the music is enjoyable to and enemies have been nicely scattered through the world(although i dont think they respawn in certain area but i believe they are working on a patch).
    the combat is where i have had the most fun. it was really janky and bare bones at first but once i unlocked the wung fu combos for the gun and weapon i was using and earned a few abilities that complemented the way i play combat became a lot more smooth and fun. I do warn that this game isnt a hack and slash game or it will feel janky. once you are in a attack animation you have to finish the attack so you should be more methodical with you button inputs.
    The story is probably the weakest aspect with it being straight forward and there just to string you along the world. if you are playing just for main quest story the game is not for you. I personally have enjoyed some of the character I have came across exploring and usually found worth while upgrades, loot, mounts or mini bosses through exploration.
    the game has some jank and flaws but if im being honest I am having more fun with this game than the last few openworld I have purchased for 60$ (AC Valhalla and Fenix Rising) so I dont mind the price point comparing it off of those AAA games    … Expand

Crafting is very cool, you can build whatever you want to use for melee and ranged combat. I personally enjoyed building and testing in combat new weapons. Combat system, skills and mutations give you a lot of different options you can combine to build something unique. The story isn’t very complex, you don’t get a lot of twists, so it doesn’t distract you from exploring and you can go exploring entire map, I didn’t find any things that prevented me from going anywhere I wanted to explore, aside from areas that require resistances to go in. I’m now 30-40 hrs in game without even killing first world eater. Not sure on New Game+, but it opens you all class bonuses, so you can combine a best from multiple classes, and this is worth exploring. It’s actually first time I’m considering New Game+, after completing Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, Horizon Zero Dawn and this is mostly because exploring here is much more fun. Disregard all bad reviews, try it out yourself and make your own opinion. Experiment 101 continues to work on the game and I’m sure they will improve it based on gamers feedback further. They managed to build nice world that’s worth further content build on it.… Expand

    Many people are telling bs about this game because it isn't a 10/10 game, but it isn't that different from many other open world games. Does it need improvements? Yes, as many other games.
    But it is really enjoyable and i can't keep playing.

    Biomutant shows once again that we don’t Need triple A Companys to make good Games. The graphis the world etc is just fantastic and gorgeous to look at. The creatures are also cute and creepy looking. The combat is rly good and shows a lot of potential the only thing I would wish for that there would be more weapon skills.

I think it’s cute that he speaks for the npc but I don’t like his talk during exploration and he spams those talks about life etc way to much and it feels out of place… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't think players rating this game put in enough time. I'm seeing a lot of "couldn't make it past the tutorial", that's the slowest part of any game. Same with the idiotic reaction like "the narrator is annoying". It can be tuned down, or turned off in settings.
    You really need to spend more than an hour in the game to see its beauty, level up to get a feel of the combat system, and explore around and do side quests to see there are more variety than the fetch quests I see complained about.

    I think x 101 did a fine job. Would like to see more content added to towns, because that is about the only repetitive, boring part about the game. Stop complaining about bugs in the first few days, there has never been a new game released without a few minor issues.    … Expand

    A lovingly designed open world, amazing character design, fun combat, a very rewarding loot and craft system. The game sure has it flaws, but those 0 point reviews are a shame. Better try for yourself.

    Biomutant is far from perfect, in fact some people will consider it the extreme opposite of perfect and give it a low rating because it does not fit the definition of a perfect "AAA" game by today's standards. Gone are the days when developers were given the freedom to dream and experiment and create a game that might look like a mess but is way more charming and fun than a million dollarBiomutant is far from perfect, in fact some people will consider it the extreme opposite of perfect and give it a low rating because it does not fit the definition of a perfect "AAA" game by today's standards. Gone are the days when developers were given the freedom to dream and experiment and create a game that might look like a mess but is way more charming and fun than a million dollar blockbuster"AAA" game which are churned out every year to feed the hungry masses. Why are PS3/Xbox 360 era games still considered the best games of all time!? Because they dared to experiment and think outside the box, and that's exactly what the developers of biomutant have tried to do. You can see the love that went into this game and just for that I will give it a high rating and by god I am having fun!!, I wish this game does well cause if it doesn't it won't be good for an industry that is becoming more and more commercialized everyday.… Expand

    I know a lot of people don't like this, but I love it. It's a AA game in a AAA world. The developers love shines through and while it does have some issues, it's still a blast to explore and have fun in combat. I look forward to whatever the devs make next.

    Es ist eine Fantastische Reise, mit abwechslung. Die Kämpfe funktionieren und das crafting ist einfach zu handhaben. Eine Geschichte die bindet.

    This game is like a bag of Revels, full of annoyances and delights. To launch with the unpopular nuggets the fighting can be a little clunky with a loose lock on system, the dialog can be a grind and some of the tasks can be repetitive.

It is refreshing to have an open world game devoid of microtransactions or predatory monetisation.

    I think the simple fact is that this is not the game most people were expecting but it is fun and colourful and charming in it's attempt. It is the adorable mash of things you've seen before acid dyed shades of neon and I am fully hopeful that Experiment 101 shoot for a sequel.    … Expand

    Biomutant is a lovely, charming and beautiful open-world game. Its fun, creative and wacky combat, amazing crafting and addicting loot system combined with great enemy variety makes the gameplay loop fell incredibly rewarding.

    The really bad choice this game made was the narrator for everything. My theory is they were trying to make it like a "Planet Earth" episode. The problem is that this kind of game needs to be immersive, not have an "outside looking in" perspective. Therefore the narrator constantly pulls you out of the immersion.

My theory is they were trying to make it like a "Planet Earth" episode. The problem is that this kind of game needs to be immersive, not have an "outside looking in" perspective. Therefore the narrator constantly pulls you out of the immersion.

    It seems like most reviewers lost their mind getting annoyed about the narrator and just pushed to finish this game asap to review it. A lot of the reviews are disappointing, often saying things that are completely untrue; the game is linear, the world is flat, the world is unpopulated, the enemies are all the same and not varied. All of this is provably false. Also rampant reports of the game being too easy while other reviewer say the unpolished combat is too hard. This game is at its best when you just explore and uncover fun stuff - when you are barreling toward the finish line to give this game a bad review, you haven't actually experienced the true game at all.

    Lets be real - Biomutant is an unapologetically weird experiment of a game. While many feel that they got too far off the beaten path, I say its refreshing to experience something new, especially in this open work genre that is starting to get beaten to death at this point. Its not a perfect game, more like a jack of all trades. If you are looking for a game that's a master of something, this isn't it. Its a game about sitting back and enjoying the wild and cooky ride. If that is your mindset going in, you are going to have a lot of fun.

    I would say the closest comparison that you can make for this game is Fallout. Every Bethesda game ever has been ripe with bugs and problems around every corner. While biomutant sure has a lot of weirdness, it has had a much cleaner launch. Yet before 76, bethesda games were showered with praise where Biomutant is getting dragged through the mud. While not perfect, this game is far from an embarrassingly buggy release that is all to common in this day an age.

    Some of the biggest things holding Biomutant back are simply fine tuning. When new players get their hands on a game they like to band and break it in ways devs could never have imagined. This game is being broken in many ways that can be fixed with simple updates. Bring down some overpowered things, bring up some weak things. Mix in more perks. Fine tune some combat elements. Clean up some UIs. Most of the dirt can be cleaned off this game with a few basic content patches, and Experiment 101 has already announced they are working on it.

    Regardless, this game is just pure fun and I'm having a blast with it.    … Expand

    This game is stunning and I have loved every minute of it so far.

The customization options in terms of builds are huge, in a good way, and for me, this is definitely going to mean I will be replaying this game and creating multiple characters. The environment is beautiful, literally the most aesthetically pleasing world I have experienced since Horizon Zero Dawn. The seemingly infinite draw distance gives you some almost breathtaking views. The crafting system allows you to craft anywhere at any time which is great. Upgrades have to be made at workbenches which is no bother because you can fast travel. I am really enjoying the story and the narration is exceptionally good. It has a sad sense of irony to it considering the stark warnings that unless making drastic changes over the next 10 to 30 years we will push our planet beyond its environmental tipping point resulting in cataclysmic, non-reversable changes. I am on PS4 Pro and I have experienced some frame rate issues but it happens very rarely and has not spoilt the game for me. I can only imagine how lovely this game is on a PS5. Biomutant is novel and original in many ways but you will be familiar with its open-world structure, the style of which I personally enjoy. I am glad I didn't pay attention to the bad reviews and trusted my instinct about Biomutant. I will be playing it and enjoying it probably for 100s of hours.… Expand

    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.
