    Biomutant is trying to be too many things. It can be fun when you’re comboing supernatural abilities and homemade weaponry to take down a group of bad guys as a furry little post-apocalyptic ronin. But its RPG mechanics are so clunky and uneven, and its various story threads are so underdeveloped, that you’ll end up feeling like nothing you do actually matters. If you just want to explore yet another open-world and beat up some bad guys, then Biomutant will keep you busy for a few hours. Just be ready to encounter a slew of baffling and questionably executed design choices.

    Biomutant is the story of an open world game that could have been a great Action RPG experience, but it fails in the combat and exploration systems. Not a bad game, but not the big game it could be.

    Biomutant had long been awaited. Unfortunately, we find it slightly disappointing. It offers great elements such as the fighting sequences in its gameplay, as well as an extensive customisation whether for the character’s stats or for its equipment. Exploring the world map is entertaining and discovering the various locations along the way is almost systematically rewarded. Alas, adding to the several technical and outdated aspects, the dull scenario truly becomes the main drawback of the game. We quickly understand that Biomutant is better suited to those searching for an instant dose of satisfaction and pleasure with its gameplay and for whom the narrative is of no importance. As for the rest, looking elsewhere might be a better idea.

    Biomutant is a very beautiful game to say the least, although it does not contain a dynamic mission system, how does that work then? Well theBiomutant is a very beautiful game to say the least, although it does not contain a dynamic mission system, how does that work then? Well the explanation may be difficult, so let's use an example to simplify the matter:During my visit to one of the areas, the game told me that there were several things to collect in it, so I began to explore it and harvest all that my eyes fell upon it until I arrived at a candy machine, and despite the clarity of my ability to interact with it, it did not respond at all despite my many attempts so that I considered the matter a technical error and proceeded On my way, I am not surprised later that this candy machine was related to a major task that one of the characters needed, evidently if you cannot simply say that you have obtained a piece of candy in advance to simply give it to her, but you need to go back only because the game does not contain a dynamic system in this regard and Unfortunately, this matter was repeated in my play several times, even in side missions, when I was looking for a side leader in a certain area to open one of the hidden vaults, I was not surprised that he was not present at all, so it became clear later that this leader is linked to a side mission again, and believe me when I say that I have not seen a call for this decision. In any way, it only disrupts exploration for you, no more and no less. Discussing the game technically is the most conflicting stage here, although the game is beautiful in appearance, as I mentioned previously, it suffers from many technical and design bugs alike, for example, after you defeat the enemies, moving away from them a short distance will make their bodies disappear and with it the tools that are supposed to be They give it to you, and if you move away from the area in which they were a little while while fighting them, they will not only return their stairs, but they will regain the points of their lives that you have planned to waste all this time! After you finish the game, it will allow you to play New Game +, which will provide you with all the tools that you have gathered in addition to calculating all the side tasks that you have accomplished with returning the main tasks to the zero point again, which is what I see as a great thing had it not been for one troublesome and that you have to return to All the different areas that I visited again because the fast-moving areas have disappeared and I have to go to them again in order to be able to move to them. Good luck, I saved the game before I finished the last mission, which allowed me to return and continue exploring freely, there is a problem with the protective clothing as well. Sometimes, when I was preparing to enter an area containing radiation poisoning with my protective clothing, I found that the percentage of radiation protection that appears on the screen was only thirty some percent, which is pure nonsense, as I was wearing the full shield that gives me 100% protection. Fortunately, when I entered the area, I was not harmed by radiation, meaning that the clothes I was wearing were working, but the apparent rate was not correct at all. This does not mean that Biomutant is a broken or non-playable game, not at all. Although the errors inside it are not few and may become somewhat annoying, they are not enough to spill into the overall experience, in addition to the fact that many of them will be resolved with some future updates. 

The age of the game here is like any open world game, and it completely depends on your completion of side tasks or not. I spent at least thirty hours in the game before completing it with the completion of many side quests, but there are still many tasks that I have not completed. To the many areas that I have not visited yet, there is no doubt that the game offers greasy content and with the team behind it consisting of only 20 people, this is an amazing achievement the dev team deserves to be proud on the whole, my experience with Biomutant has been very satisfactory and I quite enjoyed it. Despite all the negatives that need addressed in time, I still think that you should give Biomutant a chance, while it may be full of scratches, It has a gem of beauty, fun and content that will keep you busy for hours on end!. If you love open world games, be sure to head over to the Xbox digital games store and download Biomutant today! You wont be disappointed. I know I wasn't!… Full Review »

Physics, graphics feels like 2010, background voice for some people could be very annoying, there's no function to switch it off.
