    Mutazione is a great example of how games can immerse you in a world in a manner that no other medium can achieve. Whilst it doesn’t push any envelopes, it is easy to recommend to anybody who is interested in games that can get an emotional response. Don’t let the description soap opera put you off; this is a movingly, melancholic and meditative experience.

    Mutazione has a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere and talks about nature and spirituality. Nevertheles is very limited in terms of gameplay and interaction.

    Mutazione is an intriguing adventure with a soap opera plot and may well end up being your game of the year but if you need your games to offer more than a bit of wandering around and a lot of pressing X to advance conversations then this might not be for you.

    Although Mutazione seems like a journey full of exciting adventures, the bad execution of its ideas led to a very boring adventure experience.

    A kind and gentle adventure that's filled with vivid life. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    At first blush, Mutazione seems like a fairly relaxing narrative game about gardening, but it is actually more of soap opera — a chill one where you get to make gardens of mutant flora.

    The most relaxing and satisfying game I think I’ve ever played. Music, art style and story are all incredible. One of my top gaming experiences.

    No complaints at all about this game. I really feel like I got to know the characters, understand the lore of the world and explore it. TheNo complaints at all about this game. I really feel like I got to know the characters, understand the lore of the world and explore it. The game takes about 5 hours to get through on average. It’s worth it to try in one sitting, although the walking around trying to figure out what to do might be tedious at first. Personally it took me three sittings. The neat thing is the more time you spend with the game, the more rewarding the game feels. Going around and talking to everyone develops the characters and builds the world brilliantly. The subtle touch to have every character’s text make a different sound gives the player a clue as to how the character might sound, as there are no voice actors. The music by Alessandro Coronas and sound design both meld together wonderfully and create this beautiful breezy aesthetic. And when **** hits the fan, the music emulates it astoundingly. Also, the writing is so damn good and surprises you at every turn. I won’t spoil too much. I recommend you play the game IMMEDIATELY, if it’s your kind of thing.… Full Review »

Finally got to play it at the weekend, and I'm really glad I did! I'm a huge fan of Night In The Woods and Oxenfree and Mutazione is very much in tbe same style. Fantastic writing, great characters and an amazing soundtrack, make this a game that is very diificult to stop playing. It's just such a relaxing and fun game to play. If like me you were horribly disappointed by nightschools follow up to Oxenfree, Afterparty (which was terrible and a massive let down) then Mutazione is the game you need to play.… Full Review »
