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

    In the over 100 hours I have spent with Biomutant I have had a enjoyable experience in the world crafted by Experment 101.

    But even with these positive there are a few issues I have one of the biggest one I have is a lack of emeny placement I can go running though the world for half a hour and not see a single enemy A second is lack of variation in different kinds of quests most of the quest are go find X number of objects or go get me this thing

    Biomutant is an action-adventure RPG

    + Gorgeous world to explore
    - Overbearing narrator is very annoying
    - Doesn't explain some game mechanics very well
    - The Story is boring

    For instance it’s a very charming and unique game, where you can really feel that the developers put a lot of effort and heart into it. On the other side the story and especially the structure of missions are really unoriginal and get repetitive really quickly.
    Heck, most of the side quests are just like this: go to a certain place, activate something by always solving the same puzzle and then get an item, you will never use.

    Combat feels on the one hand really smooth and fast paced. But it can get really annoying sometimes due to the lack of basic features, like manually locking onto enemies. And believe me, it will happen a lot of times that the game locks onto enemies you don’t want to attack.

    Character development is basically really cool. Create your own mutated creature, choose which environmental dangers it is resistant to, decide whether you are good or bad and decide if you want to unify all tribes or become the sole leader.
    But all of these mechanics are really shallow and always feel like they get deeper at some point, but it never happens.

    But in the end, it is still kind of fun to play. It has a big, beautiful and detailed open-world and lots of content. It’s really more or less a mediocre game. But if you like it more or less than that really depends on you individually. Especially if you like exploring open-worlds, you will definitely like it more.    … Expand

    The game feels empty. Combat lacks oomph. Plenty of glaring issues that 99% of reviewers have already covered. Game has good "bones" and could have been something great. Just mediocre at this time.

    Edit: After completing the game and suffering through 67 hours of game play, I have to reduce the score.
    Could not 100% due to bugs. The game got so incredibly boring, I had to force myself to play.

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

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.    … Expand

Biomutant is all about CRAFTING AND LOOT. The good: Crafting and looting. Zen style combat. Character customization galore. Custom mounts.
    The bad: The story/narration. Not enough waypoints for exploration. Unbalanced Combat system for melee and ranged. More Perks needed. Oil sludge death isnt necessary.    … Expand

I always make sure to workout before playing videogames.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Never before have I seen a game being treated this unfairly by our beloved professional game journalists.
    Biomutant surely is no masterpiece but it´s still a fun game.
    Exploration and crafting is great. Combat is ok once you get the hang of it.
    Biomutant is little rough around the edges but don´t let that fool you. You can still spend dozens of hours in this world without regretting it.

    With one voice actor the entire game it makes exposition (which there is a lot of) very annoying, combat is clunky and not the most responsive. That being said however crafting and customization is pretty well done as well as environments.

    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.
