    I don't entirely agree with a lot of the critic reviews. I don't think the game is hollow, I feel like it is a vibrant and oddly both dark and uplifting world that THQ Nordic has created. I'm astounded that such a small team was able to make such a big vibrant world. The combat is so-so, definitely some fun but not very rewarding, and some of the early game plot stuff was a bit of a drag,I don't entirely agree with a lot of the critic reviews.

    it never excels at anything. there’s no intrigue in its exploration, mediocre in multiple ways, Biomutant is a waste of resources which could have been used for a better project

    game is not funny, it's flat and ordinary. It could have been a nice game if it was released in early 2000s but nowadays the gamestyle it offers is too simplistic. You will get bored in playing it from the very begenning. And training lasts long, is annoying and irritating.

    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.

    Poor Quality & Poor Narrative.
    I recognized about 5hrs playing this game, It was "Copy & Paste".
    If you buy full price, must be regrest. I bet you.

El sistema de combate, sin embargo, se lleva la decepción más grande: lo mostrado hace un año emocionaba, ilusionaba, pero lo que se nos ofrece (cuando no está bugueado) es un pobre y muy flojo sistema de piruetas y unas pocas habilidades...

    Hay bombing injusto, como lo que le ha ocurrido a TLOU 2 y, recientemente, a Returnal. Sin embargo, este juego merece todas las críticas negativas. En ningún apartado es destacable. En todo fracasa.    … Expand

    The world large and beautiful.the battles are fun but Challenging. I enjoyed biomutant so much that I'm doing a second playthrough. Game does start off slow with the tutorial which seems to hold yur hand more than it has to. The gear and weapon has a mass Variety.
    As well as a large choice of skills and abilities to unlock.

    I can't fathom how people could like this game - I last 8h 47m and couldn't take it any longer; the endless narration (even with the frequency on 0), lifeless world, average (at best) combat, hollow characters, bland world design (on PS5).

    This game utter fails on everything, it tries to do a lot and managed to fail on every single part.

    First of all the combat is a joke, its boring, it feels clunky, it has low skills, just button mash, its a tedious boring part of the game. The bosses are like, build a mech and fight it....so ok something else then the actual combat and they are not hard or anything just build, repeat.

    The narration is honestly an utter joke, could be one of the weirdest thing I have ever seen, the characters all speak in Gibberish and then the narrator explains what they say, so u gotta listen to the gibberish and then have the narrator say what they say................WOOOT

    Fake open world, invisible walls etc.

    This is yet another miserly game with zero creativity or any good ideas, it just tries to take from other games and performs worse in every aspect.

    Dont pre order stuff from this publisher, they always fail, they are unable to get actual competent people, only thing they can do is do these bad copies of actually good games.    … Expand

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

    I don’t reviews game because I feel somebody else said what I think… BUT THIS GAME IS PISSING ME OFF; IS IT A PS3/XBOX 360 GAME? Graphics are the worst I’ve seen in years, It’s not a AAA, gameplay sucks because its voice off, battles are way worst than a PS2 game… KEEP YOUR MONEY AND DO NOT BUY IT

    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.

    The game looks like a total garbage on ps5. There was a patch that made everything nice and beautiful and 4k and then they launched hotfix for this patch that made everything even bigger garbage.

    Developers should launch the games when the games are ready. Make yourself a favor and don’t buy this 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

    Combat is super enjoyable and accessible for all levels of gamer, map is large with huge areas of exploration. So far the story has been interesting, and i'm keen to see where this goes, as well as have a second play through using the opposite aura.

    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

The world is vast, unique, and a joy to explore every nook and cranny, also exploration is actually rewarding with plenty loot to be found, puzzles to solve, and bosses to defeat. My only complaint is the narrator, due to his childish tone I decided to turn down how often he speaks as well as switch him to Japanese to make him less annoying. But overall fantastic game and speaking as someone who has been following this game for 4 years my expectations were blown out of the water, great stuff.… Expand

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

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

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