Inoltre ci sono 2 finali.
    Le mie ore trarscorse in Biomutant sono state molto piacevoli ed intense, ha una grafica molto colorata,a volte il frame rate scende drasticamente ma nulla di compromettente,musica ottima e una buona trama,sconsigliato magari a chi non apprezza i giochi narrati...parte lento ma poi è solo un crescendo di emozioni e il gameplay è spettacolare e rende tuto meraviglioso e unico.
    Il gioco mi è crashato una volta sola. ci sono dei difetti : frasi ripetute, frame rate,pop up - pop in, ma per un team di sole 20 persone,e con un bassisimo bugdet, non gli si può rimproveragli proprio nulla. Oltrettutto hanno appena dichiarato che ci saranno aggiornamenti futuri per migliorare il prodotto.
    Forse ha 60 euro ha un costo un pò elevato ma se lo trovate in sconto dategli una chanche e non ne rimarrete delusi.

    After playing for 13 hours I completed the single-player campaign and completed some secondary missions but to platinum the game it takes about 70 hours so there is still so much more to discover in the world of Biomutant ... There are many weapons to discover ... places ... friends, enemies and subplots. Also there are 2 endings.
    My hours spent in Biomutant have been very pleasant and intense, it has very colorful graphics, sometimes the frame rate drops drastically but nothing compromising, excellent music and a good plot, perhaps not recommended for those who do not appreciate the games narrated ... it starts slowly but then it's just a crescendo of emotions and the gameplay is spectacular and makes everything wonderful and unique.
    The game only crashed once. there are flaws: repeated phrases, frame rates, pop up - pop in, but for a team of only 20 people, and with a very low budget, you can't blame them for anything. Furthermore, they have just stated that there will be future updates to improve the product.
    Maybe it has 60 euros and it costs a little high but if you find it at a discount give it a chance and you won't be disappointed.

    Really well done open world game. Lots of places to explore. Creative: mounts, regions, puzzles, creatures, etc. Fun, interesting crafting system. Developers seem to be responsive to feedback.

    8 hours so far.
    Played on PC RTX 2070 i7.

    I love Biomutant. I'm now about 7 hours into the game and find myself smiling every time I play it.

The visuals are often times awe-inspiring, the narration and character design is top-tier, and most importantly, and one thing many of these "professional" (I use that term loosely) reviewers are not mentioning, is just how addictive and fun the game is to play. I fail to understand how a game like Final Fantasy Remake, which is barely an RPG and more of a guided tour in futility and frustration with absolutely no freedom at all (loved the original, HATED the remake) can garner such praise when a new and lovingly crafted IP such as Biomutant is getting crapped on. Ok so the world doesn't have a super lot going on at the moment...has anyone really played Shadow of the Colossus? Because they're ain't a whole lot going on in that games world either. And that game was also often times an exercise in frustration when it came to combat/controls/climbing. The sad reception of a game such as this, is living proof of why companies shell out mindless and soulless clones of COD and Madden every year. Most people just don't want to try anything new or different. Well to those knee jerking, Red Bull drinking, Funnion eating, twitch-finger zombies, keep your wallets full because the clone age will never leave you. I'll stick to titles with imagination and vision. DON'T LISTEN TO THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS. PLAY THE GAME FOR YOURSELF.

Not so boring unless you hate subtle narrative and require in your face action to keep you engaged. Although the puzzles aren't challenging, there are some varied quest designs at play that made them feel more satisfying than the tired fetch quests of other games.

    A sublime experience that sadly won't be appreciated by most of today's gamers.    … Expand

    -Minuses
    -Every time u open any box or closet for loot u HAVE TO wait multiple seconds to watch animations until specs revealed. If u skip it u dont see what u got. Annoying af. I just skip everythin that arent legendary and check them out later all at once.
    -Every enemy has the same two moves. -Separet outfit and gear options sucks and confuses. Should be on one tab.
    -when u loot or buy there should be compared stats what u have on or own already.
    -Imo there should be few more hit moves or combos.
    -lack of meaningful npc's, they all r the same.
    -Game is way too easy even from the first try extreme difficulty so it quickly becomes just run and shoot everything without really fear of dying or little dodging.

    Afterall great excellent game from very small group of people and budjet and its a huge step for to continue future games.    … Expand

    It's like a corky N64 beat-em-up platformer in an open world setting with modern graphics. It draws inspiration from a lot of different games from the past and combines them all. Most of the people leaving negative reviews are just spoiled and expected this game to be the next Witcher 3 or something. It's good for what it is. Go in with low expectations and you may just find it to be a fun time.

I feel Thq did not put as much effort in to the PlayStation 4 /5 version of this game as it suffers from slight frame rate issues such as lag and stuttering , but I will say it is not as bad where it will ruin your experience .. also they choose not to add a 4K option for the Ps5 which the Ps5 is fully capable of handling it is laziness from thq Nordic .. I will have to rate the PlayStation copy slightly lower than the Xbox version

Мир красивый, но на PS4 графика хуже чем на ПК, просадки по ФПС бывают. За 15 часов багов не встречал.

    Самая главная проблема игры это дисбаланс разнообразия. Вроде как лута очень много, а вот приемов боя и сценариев захвата аванпостов мало. Масштабности при захвате аванпоста нет.
    Крафт: нашел вещи в самом начале, периодически обновляю заплатки и на другие поменять и не получается, эти имба.
    Система кармы не работает в сюжете. Био и пси приемы слабые..
    Диалоги....я иногда вообще не понимаю, что несут за чушь эти ушастые.

    Но в целом мир красивый, спецэффекты сочные, разнообразие примитивных головоломок.
    Рассказчик иногда говорит что-то не в попад, но при условии, что наш ГГ всегда молчит, то без комметов рассказчика было бы вообще скучно.

Its aesthetics are a bit all over the place but it has a clear theme of messed up evolution on top of the ruins and junk of the now extinct mankind.

    The introduction phase is quite long because it crams a lot of tutorials in narrative style. The dialogues can slow down the pace a lot, so it takes a while to get into the game. But the core of it kicks in and the paths open up once you are free to choose your quests, find your mount, build your character, wander anywhere you want given you can survive the elements.

    Skills and weapon types have different learning curves so they feel unequal at first until you find your favorite play style. After a while using the first thing that worked on most mobs it gets boring, but the character development is open enough so you can change directions and there is no need "respec" to keep your build viable. Sometimes the combat gets messy when there are too many mobs in the same fight, especially when there are two opposing groups involved in a fight.

    I'm not giving 8/10 to counter the review bombers. It's a good game. Biomutant isn't perfect but it's not a botched release, it runs very well a. It does what many open-world action RPG's have done up until now. It combines many recipes of what made the genre popular but it looks like people suddenly decided to raise the bar sky high for story, originality, content and variety in a genre that rarely stands out in those aspects. I bet the bar will be low again on time before the next Ubisoft releases of sequels of upon sequels if you know what I mean.    … Expand

    Fifth: the customization detail is amazing.
    And i could just go on on the good sides of it

    I'm not saying it doesn't have its flaws, as in people not enjoying the narrator (not my case), the sound being a bit off sometimes, some bugs here and there, the transition between gameplay and cutscenes being a little harsh and a few more things. But it definitely isn't a 6/10 game. It's way better than that. Is it worth 60$? maybe not. 40 or 50$? Totally. This game literally saved this year's gaming for me.

The gameplay is relaxing and just what I need after a stressful day. Exploring the world is rewarding and fun. Combat could use some polish by sometimes it feels unresponsive and parrying and dodging does not always seem to work correctly. But smacking a big guy head first to ground is so statisfying when executed. Story and Quests are generic but everyone who played any AC game should be used to it. The most fun I had so far is the crafting. The combination of all the funny parts Items and what not is just a blast and once you get a hang of the menu it’s all not that big of deal. So in the end it’s definitely no GOTY masterpiece like a ghost of Tsushima or last of us but I never saw it that way. It’s the first project of a development team with 20 people in it and most people seem to ignore that but please ask yourself when you did something for the first time , was it perfect ? I bet not but that’s no reason to put these guys to shame for trying to bring fun into your lives. Especially in times like this. So enjoy the game if you can and if not just don’t play it or at least give constructive feedback. Cheers    … Expand

So I can only imagine that going by these newly raised standards, Breath of the Wild would get a 4/10.

    I'm not just being facetious here, either. A lot of these reivews are simply unfair. Some bring up elements like the baby-talk, without having an ounce of the self-awareness required to realise that this is a game that's meant to appeal to kids. If 50~ year olds are having problems with a game like this, perhaps they shouldn't be playing it in the first place?

    Anyway, the positives have been covered elsewhere. I just find the negativity suspicious. It really does smack of human chauvinism.    … Expand

    Id like to start this review off by saying that I am a very dedicated Person when it comes to my health and fitness and I have been choosing to prioritize that over videogames for a decade now. I always make sure to workout before playing videogames.

I always make sure to workout before playing videogames.

    Now, with that being said, I have had Biomutant for 5 Days now, and I have had the most difficult week in terms of my priorities in an entire decade.

    I refuse to compare this title to traditional AAA titles that we play Today because it wasn't the teams intention. It also wasn't the average size team of developers either. Even with that being said, after my first 6 hours with Biomutant I realized that I prefered its style as a whole, over my entire collection of beautiful AAA titles.

    Biomutant didn't impress me during its intro. It actually had me feeling conflicted, and worried about whether I would care enough to stick around just 2 hours in. It was about 6 hours in, when I had actually fuly grasped the combat, looting, crafting/scrapping system. Once I fully understood how it worked and how to benefit from loot and what do with bad loot, thats when the game as a whole came together and I realized that it was going to be an absolute blast of a journey.

    I am thoroughlly enjoying the narrator in this story vs the narration in a game like Immortals Fenyx Rising. Not once, has the Biomutant narration thrown me off or made me want to avoid it. Its the perfect amount of quirkiness and seriousness. The narrator talks about the beautiful scenery as you enter a new tropical location and gives you a brief history lesson. I truly appreciate that. The way that the narration unfolds the story, past and present is very personal to a gamer like myself.

    The combat system reminds me of a clunkier version of Insomniacs Spiderman. Its far from perfect but also far from imperfect. Its smooth and clunky at the same time and it works really well for the setting and pace of the game right now. The developers have stated they'll be working on that which is amazing but as it stands right now, I would be able to finish the game happily. Remembering the different melee combos is a task for me, one that Im actually happy to take on because its very rewarding seeing the name of the combo blow up on screen in comic book style letters to verify that it was done correctly. Its an instant shot of dopamine.

    Crafting/Scrapping has become the most rewarding portion of the game for me now that I have a great understanding on how it actually works. I wasn't sure what the information was telling me in the first few hours of play but after reading some forums and comments I gathered my own understanding and started to run with it. I ended up sitting on a large collection of loot and started piling up resources and creating incredibly unique and funny weapons for my character to use. I now find myself thinking while Im at work "Can't wait to loot things for 2 hours when I get home". Its something that means alot to me as a gamer right now. Genuine fun.

    Now as far as the map/locations go, Im truly confused with all the buzz on the internet about Biomutant being a lonely, dead World. Compared to what? I can barely travel on foot for more than fifteen seconds before seeing something to loot, fight or discover. And the "bare land" I have found is perfect for summoning your mount and taking some awesome photos. Right now I find myself wishing that you had the ability to climb. I really think they could have capitilized on hiding loot up top on narrow plankboards on abandoned buildings or something. But regardless, searching for loot is somehow refreshing in Biomutant comapred to many loot games and I dont know exactly why but I love it. I cannot stop moving the camera around to absorb the scenery. Its art style and locations are incredible. I love that it doesnt look nearly as good as games like Days Gone or Horizon Zero Dawn or The Last of Us 2 but it works just as well, in its own way and provides the same foundation of appreciation.

    The story is something that I feel like I dont even have enough hands on experience with to be able to talk about it with confidence. I havent actually completed a single main mission aside from what the game makes you complete before throwing you into the open world. With side quest experience, I can confidently say that the story should open up and be as exciting as Im hoping.

    All in all, at the end of the Day Biomutant impresses me, and leaves me hopeful for an amazing journey. Can't wait to put 50 more hours into this. Spectacular game.    … Expand

But I am willing to pay 60 euro for this game : more than for this repetitive AAA Titels, over the past decate.

    The strong point of the game.
    - beautiful open world. So much love. The Grafik are not like horizon, but the world can compete with this Titel. But u can discover so much everywhere. Sometimes assets repeat themselves, but it's okay for 20 people, crating this.
    - combat can be fun and frustrating at the same time. But man Kung fu racoon. That's a beautiful funnything. Also u can gain tribal weapons with different combos, that are different than the normal guns and weapon.
    - dressing up, and crafting. Often I find myself lost in crating some new cool weapons and must lough about a new find. A head with rabbit ears or other stuff. So much loot and everything can be useful in its right. Maybe selling, destroy or for materials or use it to revamp a new weapon.
    -interesting element system. U can also combine for example electro and fire, and u create a lot more damage than only with one element. And with ur gun u can stack a 3rd type.
    - wonderful creative stuff. Not only the animals ore enemies are sometime so cool designed. Also ur vehicals can be changed in look and are useful for boss fights and certain situations
    -this game is so different and also the same in questing, as we know from other games. But u search for funny things, that humans needed, and the narrator explaining these things. That can lead to some funny moments.
    - everything is cute and the language of the animals make me lough a lot.
    - the world isn't empty, that's a lie. Their are parts of the world empty, but that's only realistic because in some parts u can't breathe or u are high up in mountains. The only thing that I can say is-a bit more epidemic life would make sense sometimes

    Negative things

    - the voice acting is great but also boring sometimes. Also some lines are repeated. Also in mainquests and side quests.
    - the narrator is a strange thing. Because he is the only voice u can understand in this world.
    - fetch quest are in their. Repeat this, and do this. Bring me wood to re build a city and so on.
    That isn't for everyone. But it's definetly not so much as like in AC games.
    - no lock on camera. Makes fighting harder, but u can get used to it
    - the healing menue isn't intuitive. And the time do not stop, only goes in slow motion. That is tricky in the beginning.
    - ur bad and good behavior do things in the world. But not as much as u think.
    Other villages get destroyed or some people talk differently to u. 101 could do a bit more with it.
    - some decision must be made without any warnings. And can't be changed. That's okay, but not mine.
    - playing the game nearly 30 h now, and I got the feeling u have to play it a 2nd time. NG+ times are not mine either. I am from generation. U can get everything in the first run    … Expand

The gameplay itself is simple. The “skill trees” aren’t very deep and are pretty straightforward, so there’s only so much variety between classes. Crafting is also easy enough to where you don’t stress over managing your materials, and you gain enough materials throughout exploring that you get to make changes often enough. The combat targeting/aiming could use some improvement, but once you learn to work with it and not against it fights go smoother.    … Expand

    This game is definitely meant for a niche of fans that miss the Rareware games of old. The combo strings are fluid and the crafting is fun. My only two complaint is the narrator when I could understand the language. After switching it to Russian I immediately started enjoying it more and just read the subtitles.

    I can easily recommend this game for anyone looking for something in the open world action rpg genre.

    CONCLUSIÓN
    En mi experiencia, Biomutant es un juego de mundo abierto que es disfrutable pero puede pulirse en algunos aspectos. Su forma de narrar la historia recuerda a un cuento ligero el cual considero cumple tiene resultados mixtos. No tiene algo que innove el combate, fabricación de objetos, mutaciones o la subida de nivel pero logra engancharte. Se siente como un juego que puede dar mucho más de sí con sus ideas, pero apostaron a lo seguro. Sin importar si fue un equipo indie los creadores, con el parche a día de hoy es como mínimo entretenido. Dado el caso que la forma de narrar no sea de tu agrado, siempre puedes entrar a las opciones para ajustarlo.

    HISTORIA DE BIOMUTANT
    Experiment 101 nos cuenta como una corporación ha provocado un accidente que casi lleva la fauna a su total extinción. A consecuencia de esta catástrofe, las mutaciones en el ADN animal se han vuelto el pan de cada día. El mundo está plagado de criaturas fantásticas que ahora están divididas en facciones con diferentes metas. ¿Es posible que tú seas el cachorro que va a salvar el Árbol de la Vida, cuya existencia es vital?

    JUGABILIDAD
    Tenemos a nuestra disposición un editor de personaje lo suficientemente variado para crear a nuestro pequeño pero muy importante mutante. Podremos elegir entre varias razas, la forma que tiene y también su clase en base a nuestro estilo de juego. Desde el clásico pistolero con gran fuerza bruta, hasta un poderoso psíquico de gran agilidad capaz de esquivar hábilmente. Biomutant ofrece una variedad razonable al momento de crear a tu peludo mutante.

    Antes de iniciar la exploración en su gigantesco mundo, el cual es muy colorido a decir verdad, aprenderemos lo básico. Un tutorial que a la vez funge de guía en los primeros pasos que damos en la aventura. Se enseña el sistema de combate, de creación de objetos, subida de nivel para obtener habilidades y poderosas mutaciones. Al derrotar a otras creaturas, obtienes experiencia que nos ayudará a conseguir los puntos para mejorar estadísticas, poderes y habilidades. El narrador estará presente en cada evento y traduce los gimoteos de cada criatura, como si fuera un cuento. Esto último puedes cambiarlo en las opciones si sientes que es muy frecuente, pero su valor por defecto es ameno.

    Incluso con estos poderes, no podrás realizar por ti mismo la tarea de salvar el Árbol de la Vida. Cuentas con un sistema de facciones para aliarte con una casa, cada una está ubicada en una raíz del árbol. La filosofía cambia para cada una pero tú decides a quién apoyar o incluso intentar salvar vidas de forma neutra. Si derrotas al jefe de la casa, además de tomar sus territorios, accederás a su arma emblema y técnicas secretas.

    Gracias a las misiones secundarias repartidas por todo el mundo, tendrás motivo de explorar cada recoveco en este mundo. Hay una gran cantidad de ellas, pero puedes viajar grandes distancias con ayuda de los postes que marcan el camino. Tienen la suficiente variedad para que te sientas con ganas de subir de nivel, obtener más poderes o habilidades. Cabe recalcar que al explorar podrás encontrarás los materiales para fabricar armas, objetos o armaduras. Estos se encuentran en centros de basura, como recompensa al vencer un enemigo e incluso escondidos en su extenso mundo.

    Aquí no podía dejar atrás el combate, el cual tiene muchas especializaciones. Puedes enfocarte a pelear con o sin armas, los poderes especiales e incluso dar prioridad a las armas de fuego. Con un estilo hack and slash, deberás esquivar o defenderte de los ataques, emplear tus poderes mutantes o artes marciales. Puedes emplear tu arma de fuego, la de corta distancia, los poderes mutantes o bien una tunda usando Wung-Fu. Si utilizas la esquiva perfecta el tiempo se ralentizará y el parry te permitirá marear para hacer mucho daño.

    Sin falta debo mencionar el sistema de luz y oscuridad, el cual afecta los puntos que puedes obtener. Las decisiones que tomas en las misiones, alteran tu aura junto a los psipoderes a desbloquear para tu mutante. No pasa lo mismo con el arte marcial Wung-Fu, el cual aumenta tus combos en el combate, ignorando tu aura. Debo decir que en este apartado tiene una IA que deja algo que desear, a pesar de tener combates entretenidos.

    APARTADO GRÁFICO
    Para el mundo abierto puedo decir que es bastante soberbio en color, diseño y variedad de escenarios. Biomutant quizás no esta tan poblado como debería y es algo de lo que suelen pecar muchos títulos del género. Aun así logra destacar de buena manera en el diseño de sus diferentes locaciones, enemigos, personajes, jefes y demás criaturas. Los jefes junto a los señores de cada casa, son los que cuentan con un diseño mucho más elaborado. En cuanto al rendimiento, no hay una caída drástica, solo ligeros atorones en momentos puntuales donde debe cargar.    … Expand

    For a team of under 20 people they did a good job. I don't understand the really negative reviews. Sure it falls short in some aspects (like the child speak and use of only one voice actor) but other than it it's a good rpg to sink some time into. I seriously believe that mainstream critics never really favour new Devs too much.

    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.
