    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.

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.

    This game is stunning and I have loved every minute of it so far. I can't understand why it has had such bad reviews, The combat system I think is intuitive and you have a real variety of melee weapons, guns Psionic abilities, and mutations.

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

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.
    IT'S BRILLIANT.

    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.

    As usual the review bombing doesn't convey correctly what this game offers.
    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

    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.

    Simply an incredible game to be made by so few people. It goes from less to more at all times and makes very wise decisions as soon as you delve into the video game. The narrator is the most prominent negative point but it is difficult for me to negatively assess the work of this small studio and that it has brought us an adventure of exploration that is very worthwhile.

    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.

Three abilities non consecutive fills your bar and you can make a great attack. Doing that right after I cast an ice ground, which makes the enemies slide, is a pleasure to do. I'm very happy with this game. Now I have 11 hours of gameplay and counting. Pc never crashed, I don't have any problem.

    The names of things like the microwaves or another things of everyday uses really kicks me into the game.

    Third: I really love the exploration in the game
    Fourth: the vehicles are so creative and refreshing to the game it almost seems like you're playing a whole different game. You just can't get bored. All you need to do is change the area you're diving into and it will change the gameplay drastically.
    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. I just can't stop playing it

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

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.

    Game is perfect for me at least. My son loves it too. It's not too hard but still has lots of depth. It's also the right length. Not 60 hours and full of junk like AC Valhalla.

    Game is perfect for me at least. My son loves it too. It's not too hard but still has lots of depth. It's also the right length. Not 60 hours and full of junk like AC Valhalla. I hope there's a sequel. This, along with RE8, were two great choices for preorder in my eyes. I got burned on outriders (it wouldn't run without crashing for 2 months).

    If you think you will like this game get it. The gameplay is exactly what it looks like. I have zero complaints. I especially love the goofy characters, the way they talk, the way they look, and the crafting system is so cool. Toilet plunger stapled to a butcher knife? Check. Magic? Check. Upgrade systems galore :). I've never seen a game so panned that i liked. Usually critic reviews guide me but i think this is an 8.5 out of 10, but my son thinks it's an 11 so I'll compromise and rate it 10 for both of us. Get it if you can afford it or at least get it on sale in a month. Devs are also patching in new features they said. Just look at the biomutant reddit. It's full of love. Like i said, I've never disagreed with critics so badly before. I really don't understand why they panned it because after beating RE8 i needed another good game and i definitely got it. And the fact it was made by about 20 people blows my mind. Add in the pubkishers self aware jokes and you have a recipe for a winner. 10/10 would preorder again (i RARELY say that)

It is not perfect though that is for sure. But it does a lot of things right and the atmosphere stands for itself. The narrator though can be annoying at some point in time. Than turn it off.

The Monster hunting in here is better than Monster Hunter and Witcher 3 and Witcher 3 is my favorite game of all time. The story is good enough. But a game that has this good of a combat system and exploration you really don't need a story hens breath of the wild again. This game does so much right, I really don't have any knit picks. Do not do yourself a disservice and pay attention to all of the negative reviews. Give it a try for yourself. It's probably the most original game I've played in the past few years. The gameplay Loop is one of the most addictive I have ever had the pleasure to be addicted to. I have to pry myself away from this game and I can't wait to get back to it. Expand

Yes there’s a few visual bugs and it might not be the next GoW or HZD but for a team of 19 people the game is incredible. Full of charm, a fun combat system, in-depth crafting and more things to do and collect than I was expecting. For me this is my game of the year. It’s the David and Goliath of this years releases. For such a small team they’ve delivered a knockout blow and I can’t fault them at all. I can’t wait to continue to look under every rock and in every trash can for that next piece of sweet loot.

    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.

It's my honest opinion that the combat in BioMutant feels a LOT better than Breath of the Wild's, and the world feels less empty to boot. 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.

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

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.

    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.

    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.

    Love games like this. I can forget the story and make my own adventure in a new take on the post apocalypse that is a breath of fresh air. Beautiful graphics and charming aesthetic that you can get lost in exploring for hours. Plenty of mounts and unlockable, customizable vehicles to play with.

Combat is fair but can be fun as you unlock abilities and craft new weapons(and there are A LOT of parts). 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.

    I don't understand what is the reason for such a large number of negative reviews. Game journalism sucks these days. I definitely liked the game, it has flaws, in the narrative, in the technical part (some issue with shadows on ps4), but nothing critical.

    This is a game about exploration, in a strange and funny world with unusual characters with complex customization and a fun entertaining combat system with a huge amount of homemade weapons and armor. The game also has philosophical thoughts about good and evil. It's such a weird and nice hybrid of Ratchet and Clank, Fable and Borderlands.
    I played 22 hours and continue to enjoy and surprised of what is happening on the screen.

    It’s an exploration based game and the amount of fun content is great. If you like interesting and rewarding exploration you should give this game a fair chance. It does indeed have some jank but it is not game breaking and I think most people that are into these types of games will find a lot to like.

    This game is not nearly as bad as some critics and reviewers are saying. Is it rough in certain areas? Most definitely. But I cannot put this game down.

But I cannot put this game down. I am having an amazing time playing through this and it is a truly unique game. Some minor bug fixes and tweaks need to be made but the foundation of Biomutant is a remarkable experience. The combat is surprisingly deep with a crazy amount of combinations making replayability a highlight as you can approach combat in a completely different way on a new play through. My main take away is to give the game at least 2 hours before making a decision. The first bit is a drawn out tutorial and honestly quite boring, but as soon as it opens up and you’re bombarded with loot and skills and combat, this game is a blast!! Highly recommend. Expand

    Un gioco di ruolo open world sorprendente. Complimenti ai 20 sviluppatori che hanno creato un piccolo gioiellino.

    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 don't understand the bad rep this game has been getting. I've been loving it. On a base PS4 there are definitely some frame rate issues, and there are some minor annoyances I have discovered, but with that being said it's still a great game.

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

    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.

    Ok was going for 8.8 same as rpgfan but just some of my own quibbles sticking out. Dreamcast guy and wab another youtuber i follow said good things so i thought hmmm. Initially i was lined up for Rust but this won out and im glad. Rust will be there hopefully at a lower price point, its a great game but not in the feels department whereas Biomutant hits a personal sweet spot. department

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
