Studio 101. Only 20.person, created this little indigame perl. Maybe it's only worth 45 euro. 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

    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 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

Beautiful open world, very cool crafting system and very cool skills and upgrades. Additionally very creative level design, story and especially the creatures and enemies. I love this game.

    Biomutant is a product of love and an ambitious one. It is not a perfect game, it needs a lot of improvement and quality of life updates. But there is a lot to love and enjoy. I haven't seen a single bug or glitch and all the systems and activities are fun. It's repetitive like ANY major open world games out there, but there is a lot of charm and I'm having a blast.

    I really hope this game sells well and that the devs keep supporting it with patches. The game is not a "No Mans Sky". It's pretty much the same game from the trailers. A fun, charming, cool open world game. I usually am on board with professional reviewers but, in this case, the bad reviews are not fair. The game is good!    … 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,    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

    -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.

    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.

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

    I believe that this game probably won't be the game of the year, but that doesn't mean it isn't a great game.
    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.

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

    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.

    The best thing I can say about biomutant is that they tried.. does this look like a ps3 game?? Yes. Did it crash on me like 10 times including during and after an entire boss battle? Yes.. is it way too easy to accidentally sell your currently worn items to merchants so you kind of just ignore that aspect of the game? Yes. but they tried really hard to give you a content packed rpg, from weapon parts, to armour parts to find across this world.. tons and tons.. and tons and tons.. and tons and tons.. and tons and tons of dialog… however.. none of it comes together in an enjoyable way.
    Biomutant is a great idea, choose a tribe, interact with the other tribes and either switch sides or try to bring them all together… theres even a balance of lightness and darkness depending on your actions.. but this affects nothing but the ending of the game and the abilitites youre able to unlock for combat..
    Combat here is alright. .you have ranged weapons as well as the possibility to make really great close ranged melee weapons.. you can really go out into this world and craft some really great stuff as you set out to take down the 4 adorable world eaters… which are this games main bosses…
    But the problem with biomutant is everything in between the good parts and theres way too much of it…
    its like eating a sandwhich with a meter thick dry bread.. I would wager that nearly half of my 9 and a half hours was spent sitting through this games excruciating dialog… Biomutant never wants to shut up and just let you play its game.. anytime you get anywhere heres 10 minutes of hearing blabber while your brittish grasshopper translates for you… and its all always the same thing blah blah tree of life blah blah lightness darkness blah blah revenge forgive its all so unnecessary, boring, ad just pads out the game in such a bad way.. there is never any interesting dialog here.. theres no interesting story moments or cutscenes.. it all feels like a giant waste of my time.. I just want to get back into the world and take down the world eaters… along the way youll be doing other tasks to get to the world eaters.. these tasks are all basically the same, go to this building, do some switch flipping puzzles, and catch these creatures then go take down the world eater.. all while youll run into other mamals.. taking them on with your mutant abilities that you get to choose and of course your weapons you’ve been building up.. and while actually putting in the effort to craft the best items is enjoyable.. and collecting the items and materials for the best build possible.. the actual combat here is just not satisfying.. enemies are way too spongy.. so after sitting through mountains of dialog that thankfully are skippable.. you barley get to have any fun out in its world…
    Biomutant was decently enjoyable.. but overall I was pretty let down by this boring slog of a world.
    At least it has a great message.. stop polluting.

No es un narrador, más bien es tu guía, te traduce lo que te dicen y te explica a su modo lo que fue en el pasado o lo que te puedes encontrar en una zona.

    En contra diremos que, tratándose de un RPG de acción quizás deberían haber tenido en cuenta el desarrollo del personaje con la implementación de un árbol de habilidades o mayor variedad de combos, por que con la duración del juego y la cantidad de monstruos que hay no existe más que una estrategia a seguir para derrotarlos y eso convierte el juego en una experiencia un tanto repetitiva. En contra tambien, hay que mencionar que en una PS4 Slim el juego sufre parones, algo molestos en ocasiones.

    It's a nice unique game that comes around only once in a long while. The combat does need improvements especially the melee, but overall, I like it.

    BioMutant, at times, seems like a game that might have been excellent about a decade ago. Its graphical fidelity on the PS4 seems a generation behind; its "cutscenes" are extremely rough around the edges, its story is incredibly by-the-numbers, and its pretentious British narrator becomes grating after only a few hours. But despite all this, BioMutant is fun as hell. And while it may notBioMutant, at times, seems like a game that might have been excellent about a decade ago. Its graphical fidelity on the PS4 seems a generation behind; its "cutscenes" are extremely rough around the edges, its story is incredibly by-the-numbers, and its pretentious British narrator becomes grating after only a few hours. But despite all this, BioMutant is fun as hell. And while it may not be everyone's cup of tea, those that enjoy it will enjoy it greatly.

    Where BioMutant really shines is in its mechanics. The crafting system is relatively deep, and its loot mechanics are also solid. Though the dedication to the post-apocalyptic aesthetic makes some weapon designs sometimes seem unwieldy and less than appealing, the fact that the game will allow you to upgrade weapons you do like the look/bonuses of means that you can essentially make some weapons you like using worthy of endgame play. Exploration, too, is enjoyable - while there is an admitted lack of originality or diversity in terms of what activities there are to do at each point of interest, the vastness of the map means that if you enjoy this sort of open-world approach, you will not be disappointed. In terms of comparisons, BioMutant seems to bear similarities to Assassin's Creed: Odyssey in terms of its exploration (though I would say it is a slight improvement over Odyssey in terms of quality), and depending on what you look for in a video game, that may either be appealing or off-putting.

    A more debatable, middling and subjective aspect of BioMutant's features is its combat - much like its treatment of exploration, its combat seems like it could be appreciated by some, loved by others, and hated by others still. Its hack-and-slash style of play seems to resemble a sloppier Kingdoms of Amalur with guns, and possesses a similar lack of challenge. However, unlike Amalur, the feedback provided within combat feels lacking from both an auditory and physical perspective - there is no real "weight" behind the impact of your blows. Those looking for a Dark Souls-esque experience will be frustrated beyond belief at not just the lack of impact behind their attacks, but also the general ease of combat. This game does not treat combat as anything complex, and its simplicity will likely alienate many while also drawing some others in.

    Sadly, BioMutant's successes cannot prevent its players from noticing just how much this game looks like it was released as an alpha build. It is hard to know where to even begin in terms of describing these issues, because there are so many. The astonishingly unpolished cutscenes, the graphical glitches, the jumpy transitions, and the visual presentation in general are shockingly below expectations. For all the aesthetic beauty of the game's open world, there is something remarkable about how sloppy some parts of this game look. Combining this with the occasional grammatical/spelling mishaps, occasional gameplay glitches (such as not being to activate the glider before re-loading the game) and "janky," erratic combat issues (such as bullets from guns missing their target for what seems like no apparent reason), and you start to get the idea that this game could have used a lot more time in the oven.

    As far as a story goes, BioMutant seems to treat any narrative beats as secondary to gameplay. For those who don't pay much attention to the story (i.e. skipping cutscenes and narration), this will be a moot point - however, anyone looking for a rich, deep story can give this game a pass. Few characters really stand out in any way, and nothing about their "dialogue" (read: The narrator putting words in their mouths) is worthwhile or interesting. You go out into the world, you be the hero (or the villain), and get one of two endings based on whether you are good or bad. Again, this is another element of the game that will seem archaic and uninteresting to some, but appealing in its simplicity to others. Whether you can take it or leave it, it would be silly to give this game credit for its storytelling.

    Like some other non-AAA studio efforts, such as Greedfall and Outward, BioMutant is ripe for classification as a potential cult classic. Its egregious lack of polish is obvious, but for those who can see past this, there is a wonderfully entertaining open-world game that will grab your attention for hours and hours. Rather than mass appeal, this game will likely attract fans of action RPGs who are willing to stomach a metric ton of jankiness for the sake of tried, tested and true action RPG and open-world mechanics. I have personally enjoyed the game greatly thus far, but its appeal is narrow - consider what elements of video games you enjoy before buying this one, and be aware that if BioMutant does seem appealing to you, it likely will be. For those who will enjoy it, its price is reasonable - for those who prefer polish, interesting narratives and more nuanced, weighty combat, I recommend ignoring this one.    … Expand

    If you go into this comparing it to AAA games, you will be disappointed. But if you can forgive the small issues then you will find a fun, quirky game with unique characters and combat.

    There are a couple of things that i would like changed which i believe would improve the player experience.
    Firstly, the camera is quite close to the player. Whilst this is nice when exploring, it makes combat difficult as it makes seeing all enemies harder. By zooming out in combat, or allowing the user to change camera zoom this would improve the combat experience.
    Also, the game is very stop/start for the first hour or so, and takes away the immersion of the world. Whilst this is seen as the tutorial part and is probably more directed at the younger audience, as an experienced gamer i found the hand-holding frustrating. I would like the ability to not have so much interjection from tutorials.
    Also, dialogue can be a bit slow as the narrator only translates conversations after they've happened. it would be nice to have him translate at the same time, just to speed up conversations.    … Expand

    37 hours played, max level 50, platinum trophy, everything done and the game is a 6, AT BEST. (The only achievement that took any effort were the 20 glittermoths.)

    After finishing it last night, I went through my complete quest log and scribbled down the list of fetch and collection quests. It's not an exaggeration to say it's the bulk of the game. Easily 85% of it. I could live with    37 hours played, max level 50, platinum trophy, everything done and the game is a 6, AT BEST.

    After finishing it last night, I went through my complete quest log and scribbled down the list of fetch and collection quests. It's not an exaggeration to say it's the bulk of the game. Easily 85% of it. I could live with that if such quests meaningfully expanded the world, but they don't. The vast majority of them just lead you to a tiresome rotation puzzle that gives you a piece of random loot you've probably seen a dozen times before. They had an opportunity to use the old world items like televisions, radios, computers, and movie projectors to help tell the story of this broken, apocalyptic world and, inexplicably, did nothing with them.

    The combat was lackluster and felt detached throughout. Playing as a melee Sentinel class, I was disappointed to realize that guns always beat melee weapons no matter how much you invested in strength or how much you'd mod your melee weapons. Other than the few-and-far between armored enemies, every enemy could be easily dispatched with a rifle or auto rifle and kiting them around the combat area. Crafting was a bright spot early on but then I started finding "Ultimate Meleeweapons" and "Ultimate Rangedweapons" which outclassed anything I could craft by a LARGE margin. If they started losing power, all I had to do was swap a higher level addon and it was overpowered again. Playing on Hard difficulty, almost all enemies were pushovers with exception to the Worldeaters, who were only difficult by virtue of the fact that the player has to use a scripted method of defeating them rather than our normal combat skills. Bio and Psi skills do little to no meaningful damage, and only Shroom and Freeze are worth taking for minor mob crowd control. All weapons use the exact same combo button presses. Learn one, you've learned them all.

    Most damning, I felt nothing for the world or my character because the game did little to make me care. It just throws you in with an hour of exposition dump and sends you on your way. It then showers you with endless collection side quests. The tribe war was boring as nearly every outpost and fortress played out the same way every time, without fail. Plus they did nothing to really distinguish the tribes beyond a blurb about whether they were light or dark aligned.

    All in all, this feels like a game that would have been an 8 about a decade ago. With the evolution of open world games over the last generation, this now feels dated and utterly devoid of meaning. Strip out all the collection and fetch quest padding, and you have a game that is, AT MOST, 10 hours -- and that's assuming you don't skip the tribe war after conquering the second tribe (yes, the game will let you fast-foward *a main story arc* after only completing two of five conquests).

    It's a $20 game at most. It is the worst kind of open world checkbox padding, the kind of game that would have been at home at the tail end of the Xbox 360/PS3 generation, not at the start of the XSX/PS5 one.

    -----------

    And now, the collect-a-thon list for those curious:

    Old World items that reward you with crafting mats or armor (5 of each type unless noted, all are rotation puzzles): Washing machines, telephone booths, house telephones, globes, record players (3), radios, guitars, pianos, computers, televisions, movie projectors, safes, arcade cabinets, toilets, microwaves.

    Old World items that reward you with slight stat boosts to strength, vitality, or agility (3 of each type, all are QTEs): Treadmills, Dumbbells, Bench Press machines.

    15 Old World Noticeboards that reward you with cosmetic automation skins.

    Others: 4 sundials, 13 captives, 11 bandit outposts, 14 Old World storage shelters, 6 lumen shrines, 4 aura altars, and more I’m sure I’m forgetting.    … Expand

The story of my experiences with the game, both before and after release, is perhaps just as interesting as Experiment 101's debut IP.

    Biomutant first came to my attention in June 2020 when it's developer, Experiment 101, released a 9 minute trailer showcasing their upcoming project. My initial impressions after watching this trailer were interesting to say the least. From what I saw I felt that Biomutant looked fun and was different in a good way, but at the same time I got the feeling that it wouldn't be regarded as a great game, nor would it receive any game of the year nominations, it's greatest strength - the weird, post-apocalyptic children's cartoon-esque design of it's world and characters - also proving to be it's greatest weakness, as the overall vibe was so intensely alternative.

    Then, almost a year later, Experiment 101 released a gameplay demo of what the finished game would look like, and for me, Biomutant couldn't come out soon enough. Then when the game was finally released, my eager anticipation was soured by the reviews I read. Now that I've spent 58 hours with Biomutant, it's now my turn to provide my opinion of the game.

    Biomutant is an open world, action RPG equally like and unlike anything before it. It begins with a fantastically rendered cinematic that establishes a tone that the essence of the actual game never quite seems to capture. Afterwards you create your own unique 'biomutant' (or if you're like me and can't be bothered then go with the default character because that looks cool enough) and start your journey.

    At a glance, Biomutant looks like a gene spliced amalgamation of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Immortals: Fenyx Rising, Control, Mass Effect, Fallout, Devil May Cry, Titanfall, Batman: Arkham and Banjo Kazooie. While this is an impressive roster of inspired elements, the unfortunate truth is that Biomutant is a lesser imitation of it's inspirations - think Breath of the Wild at the quality level of Days Gone.

    Despite the dramatic setup of it's trailers and aforementioned intro cinematic, Biomutant's 'main story' is less a story and more a series of main quests that help you reach the end of the game. The cutscenes are rigid and disjointed, poorly conveying any sense of narrative. The cast of characters lack personality, spouting pun laden dialogue that wouldn't feel out of place at a positivity seminar.

    Quest design, both main and side, reminded me a lot of Assassin's Creed Odyssey (in a bad way) due to the simple singular 'fetch' or 'do' objectives which rob the game of any distinct, memorable quest moments. Another similarity to Odyssey was the sense of content bloat with some (if not many) side quests being linked to location objectives. In one instance I even noted that one side quest - 'The Lotus Captain' - was repeated four times among four different quest givers and were all tied to one single objective.

    Beyond it's over-simplified objectives, the real problem with Biomutant's quest design is that the payoff at the end of every quest never matches the setup. Oftentimes, most (if not all) quests conclude in a dissatisfying, anti-climactic way - which made me feel like I'd wasted my time. Another issue is that when you receive a new side quest, 90 percent of the time your new objective can be anywhere between 1000 metres to 3500 metres away from where you are. This is often immensely frustrating because you have to travel vast distances just to do simple, underwhelming objectives.

    Combat is the main drawcard in Biomutant (besides exploration) and despite being somewhat janky, is still relatively enjoyable. Enough weapon types, combos, psi-powers, mutations and the much touted 'Super Wung-Fu' keep encounters fun. The flip side is that the enemy AI is dumb, melee feedback and sound registration is virtually non-existent, and melee inputs are slightly delayed. Around the 15 hour mark I obtained a powerful shock rifle which allowed me to stun-lock enemies indefinitely, making every combat encounter laughably easy.

    While exploring Biomutant's world may seem akin to Breath of the Wild, it's nowhere near as alive. Enemies defeated in the world never respawn and NPCs perform rigid animations or pace back and forth aimlessly, never interacting with the world. I observed some NPCs trying to chop wood, but instead they simply knocked the log off the chopping block, only to place it back in position and repeat the process over and over. Colour alignment puzzles are repeated ad nauseum, depriving any sense of variation or inventiveness.

    For all it's faults, Biomutant NEEDS and DESERVES a sequel to re-code it's genetic make-up. When it comes to quantity, Biomutant is great, but this deeply affects it's quality, making it a generic mutant.    … Expand

    Yes it's a game with only 20 developers, but since it's full priced - i've taken that out of the equation. The game is £25 $30-35 at most. The price they're selling it - is outrageous.

    I'm writing this, so you don't have to play it. You don't have to slog your way through the worst game of the year so far. Got to level 50, would have got the platinum but one of the trophies is bugged, and the less said about the glittermoths the better. Really. Once they're done, I'll uninstall and never have to think about this game again. Like mass effect andromeda. It'll just be a bad memory.

    Karma - It's useless. The funny thing is you'll come across shrines in graveyards. some are dark. some are light. You have no idea what one it is until you activate it. But if you're worried and wanna be light just pick up every animal you see "pet and keep" and your light will be in the majority easily. Yes the system is useless. And feels worthless.

    Quests - You know those RPGs where you have a favourite quest, one that just resonated with you - whether it's Mass Effect, Skyrim, Final Fantasy, Tales of, etc. This game has none of those. No quest that makes it feel worthwhile. No quest with a storyline that you enjoy.

    Combat - it can be fun, but that wares off by level 25. So in the end you make sure you have a fire sword for armoured and shield enemies. And your rifle takes care of anything else. There's a variety of weapons don't get me wrong, especially the tribe ones but they're not all that good. The only one that made me smile was a burning rolling pin.

    Mounts - The only useful one is the googlide, but even then if you see a body of water and think wow the googlide would be perfec... it doesn't summon everywhere. Only in certain areas like the rest of the transports. They're mostly used for bosses or the blimp to reach an area you can't get to otherwise. (in this game if you can't pick up, use or get to an area there's usually a convoluted quest on the other side of the world in 6 parts that helps you)

    Levelling up/Gear - There's loads of loot, but most of it will be useless. In fact 90% ends up being useless. But there's plenty of it. So there's that.

    Puzzles - even with a decent intelligence some of them can't be solved in the moves given. it's randomly set up each time. So you'll get it, they're not difficult, some are just impossible given the amount of moves they give you. The only interesting ones are the X, Y and Z but they're in short supply.

    Graphics - the game is pretty and it's a fairly large world. Dark in areas especially nuclear fallout underground.

    Also if you're going to play it, as I did on the PS5. Keep a manual save updated regularly. The game only crashed twice but each time it corrupted the two autosaves that the game keeps.

    It's a 6, it would have been a 7 but the terrible fast travel system, the poorly written quests. The terrible male orientated characters (you'll come across maybe 3 female characters out of 16 and none of the tribe leaders are female). You can change the frequency of the narrator. Do that. Straight away.

The open world is very pretty but its filled with stuff to just check the box. Outposts get really repetitive with very little veriety . One of the cool parts of the game is the character customization and the 6 factions. There are good factions and evil factions. This allows you to play the game as an evil or good character.

    Biomutant has very repetitive missions and poor puzzles; they all feel really similar and give a small variety. This game's repetitiveness reminds me of Ubisoft open world games which end up having a strong first 1-2 hours and then it falls off then picks up within the last 2 hours of the game.

    Overall Biomutant doesn't bring anything new to the table for open world action RPGs and copies a lot of other games and does everything worse than them . So Biomutant ends up being a 6-10 for me which I wish I could give a better score because I have been waiting for this game for years and it's very disappointing.    … Expand

    that's what Biomutant is like, it *should* be really great but it's just not combined in a way that makes it enjoyable. (well to me anyway)

I would be happy if this game was half the price that I paid for it cuz now it just seems like a big waste of money and I don't even want to really finish the game but I will since I dished out so much cash.… Expand

    Biomutant è un gioco... Strano. Ha pochi punti forti che però funzionano bene e possono tenerti incollato al pad, ma ha anche molti punti deboli che finiscono col farti chiedere il perché siano state prese determinate scelte durante lo sviluppo... E purtroppo, non si riesce a trovare risposte a queste domande. O almeno, io non le ho trovate.

Ha pochi punti forti che però funzionano bene e possono tenerti incollato al pad, ma ha anche molti punti deboli che finiscono col farti chiedere il perché siano state prese determinate scelte durante lo sviluppo... E purtroppo, non si riesce a trovare risposte a queste domande. O almeno, io non le ho trovate.

    La voce del narratore, ad esempio, riesce ad annoiare molto in fretta, specialmente per la presenza di tanti dialoghi che interrompono le seguenze di gioco e vengono percepiti più lunghi di quanto lo siano in realtà. Il narratore è anche presente, nella forma di piccole frasi, anche all'apertura della mappa tramite i "Cartelli", l'aumento di una statistica dopo un level up e la scoperta di alcuni luoghi. C'è una certa ripetitività nella progressione delle missioni della storia principale, che si salva in parte per la possibilità di poter giocarla come un personaggio buono o uno cattivo secondo le scelte del giocatore. Scelte però che comportano dialoghi. I quali, nuovamente, smorzano la fluidità del gameplay.
    I combattimenti sono interessanti, ma a mio avviso soffrono tanto per un sistema di abilità non abbastanza differenziato tra le varie classi del personaggio. Il mondo di gioco poi è ampio il giusto, ma un tantino troppo vuoto se viene esclusa la presenza di nemici, piccole creature catturabili con l'apposito retino, NPC e cavalcature. Il comparto grafico non è dei migliori (specialmente per un titolo del 2021) ma si riesce ad abituarcisi mano a mano che si gioca. Le boss fight sono particolari, ma anche particolarmente facili, in quanto hanno meccaniche molto giocose che però lasciano poco spazio ad una differenziazione di approcci o strategie. C'è inoltre da dire che il titolo soffre di un serio problema di frame rate e della presenza di vere e proprie botte di lag, a volte anche molto invasive. Sono rare (nemmeno troppo) ma ci sono. Il punto forte di questo gioco, però, secondo me, risiede nella possibilità di assemblare le proprie armi da zero, o modificarne di esistenti. Questo apre le porte a molte più possibilità per un combat system che stagnerebbe in una concatenazione di combo che, come detto precedentemente, sono sempre troppo simili, le une dalle altre. È un buon titolo, tutto sommato. I toni e l'atmosfera riescono a strappare più di una risata e le potenzialità nella personalizzazione sono più che sufficenti. Ha però molti difetti. Difetti che rendono il prezzo di lancio un po' troppo alto, se posto di fianco a titoli con comparti tecnici e grafici molto più importanti e gameplay molto più divertenti o impegnativi. Una quarantina di euro sarebbe stato un prezzo molto più adatto. Il mio voto sarebbe in realtà qualcosina sopra ad un 6.5 che non può riuscire, ahimè, ad arrivare al 7 pieno stando alla qualità del gioco nel momento della scrittura di questo mio giudizio.    … Expand

    So I’ve put about 12 hours into the game and I’m really enjoying it so far I have not even fought one of the main bosses yet either just having a good time in the world of biomutant. The graphics are just above average and gameplay I would say the same.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Mecânica de luta até que é divertida, mas a história é chata e não vale apena pagar 200 reais por isso, eu mesmo só joguei pq saiu na plus. Mas claro, não quer dizer que o jogo é ruim, só que dizer que tem jogos melhores pelo mesmo preço ou até mais barato

    I rarely review games, as it just adds more 'noise' to what's out there, but I have to review this one. I was looking forward to it, but I feel I've wasted £50+ on this and I have no compulsion to go back to it even though I have only played 10 hours. I realise that 10 hours isn't enough to justify a full-on review, so my angle will be this:

I realise that 10 hours isn't enough to justify a full-on review, so my angle will be this:

    I can't find the motivation to go back to the game as it's suck all of that out of me.

    1. The narrator and the constant interruptions that stop you actually playing the game are the worst I've experienced. The game is action focused in the way the character is controlled and set-up, but the action is stopped every minute or so because of the narrator or some other thing freezing your progress. It makes it ponderous and boring.

    2. The quests and puzzles are boring, repetitive, childish and lazy in design.

    3. The loot is mostly useless and there's rarely anything to get excited about.

    4. The combat is a weird hybrid that doesn't nothing well. You don't fully lock on but you do hit them bad guys if you are generally pointing in their direction. It's just not satisfying.

    5. From the screen shots and trailers, I expected the graphics and animations to be much better - they are very poor compared to what we've seen pre-release.

    6. Game play aside, this game might have been put together by 20 people in a kind of Indy way, but they should have measured that against the price of the game i.e. not an AAA game but charging an AAA price. The game is a £29.95 game at most and I feel like I have wasted all of my money because I was not entertained at all and I just want to uninstall is and get my valuable hard drive space back.

    Unless you have some die-hard affinity towards the designers and what they are trying to do, then save your money.    … Expand

    Biomutant had great potential but sadly wasted most of it on very bad game design decisions. The world is beautiful but it seems that most of the budget was put into the engine and lead to assets being overly re-used, variety massively lacking, combat being clunky and quests left boring and uninspired.

The world is beautiful but it seems that most of the budget was put into the engine and lead to assets being overly re-used, variety massively lacking, combat being clunky and quests left boring and uninspired.

    The game itself looks amazing and I have to credit the devs for a lot of creative potential which is absolutely shining in this game but this is where the positive vibes already end. The game runs terrible on Playstation consoles. It is a 1080p60fps on PS5 and still has great trouble with stutters, texture pop-ins and occasional hang-ups. Whenever you travel too fast, kill an enemy or there is just too much happening the game freezes for a mere second or has very bad hiccups. Basically this disqualifies a game for me as being good and recommendable.

    Beyond that the introductionary part in this game is horrible. Players get flooded by command prompts within minutes and after that cutscenes happen every few minutes rendering game immersion and "getting used to it" to insignificance. Looking deeper the game falls apart even more because the target aim is all over the place resulting in misses or getting hit. The game is so buggy, that sometimes you do specials but you cant hit because the game engine misses the collision progress. The combat itself tries to be deep by having categories and classes but honestly... it is most of the time just button mashing.

    The UI and UX is also not the best. It seems that is has been tuned to seem modern but lacks practical placement. The menu is not intuitive by any means and you will find yourself pressing the wrong buttons over and over.

    Gamewise I do like my random fetch quests and this is fine after all but the quests are really that bad and the loot is insignificant. I found a handful of weapons on my playthrough the rest must be crafted. Most of the loot is trash and not worth grabbing at all. I think this is especially again for casual players not the best design.

    Now the game comes down to boss fights and where it matters you often dont control your character as usual but you are bound to use a device, mount or something like that. Ontop they tried to layer boss mechanics to make it appealing but failed completely in doing so leading to boss fights that are terrible finnicky and can be frustrating especially for casual players on console controllers.

    Closing with one more very existential point. The story feels very bad, the constant narration gets overloading and the gibberish as well as the words used to describe the "fantasy world" makes it even worse and uninteresting. Half way through the game I just skipped through the dialogues.

    I think there was a lot passion in developing the game but it feels bad to invest full price into a game that is just not worth it at all. I had some fun moments, but mostly I just wanted to get over with it. I do not recommend this game at the moment and even with performance and bug fixes which are needed bothways, the game still lacks. If you are still interested in this game I HIGHLY recommend to wait for at least 50% of sale and lower initial expectations.    … Expand

    This is not the worst game in the world. Sure, it is overpriced, the narrator is annoying, the world feels empty but you still can have fun with it. Just wait for a sale, and know what you can expect here.

    I really dislike that they cloned the giant rat hero from Guardians of the Galaxy without a license, and used it as a basis for your hero build. And that they copied pretty much everything else from other sources too. Like you see stuff and go, hey, dint I see that in NMS?
    Fighting is ok, rest is mediocre, and very, very unoriginal. Doubt many bother finishing this game. A massive disappointment.

    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.
