    This game is great, everytime I find new loot I get excited to see what I found and it just has a bunch of cool mechanics and things to explore, reviewers are haters, how can they give games like call of duty good scores and **** on this, its like a cross between fable and zelda with way better combat, dont listen to reviewers or haters.

    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.

    This game is a mess in all of its aspects, it feels like a joke, one you have to pay for LOL The amount of people who worked on it has nothing to do with the game they delivered. If you cant make it, don't overscope, and more important, don't sell an unfinished pile of assets and nonsense like an AAA. If you really like this game, you need to play more.

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

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

    i really tried and want to love this game but it just feels like an indie game rather than AAA and the narrator... stopping you play the game every other minute, its 1min gameplay then unnecessary cutscene where you lose all control.

The developers have created a unique and gorgeous world to explore with different biomes and creatures, mounts and mechs, blimps and whales.

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

    Yet another disappointment in a long line of disappointments. Narration gets irritating VERY fast. The the environments look nice at first glance but there is some serious texture popping and most of the game world is somewhat empty. Then there's bad combat, audio issues and just the general blandness of the entire game. And being a small studio is not an excuse for putting out a bad game.

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

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

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

    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.
    But it is really enjoyable and i can't keep playing.

    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.
