    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 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 itBiomutant 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! Expand

    Solid RPG with great depth in character creation and leveling. Gear and weapon crafting and modding is really well done and a lot of fun. Combat had real death as well. Traversal and exploration are very zen and chill. Really great game!

In this review I'll address the major problems from critics. The games story isn't as enticing as one would hope. I can't recall an open world game in recent memory that had a really great story. There isn't a connection to the characters throughout the game because you were just thrust into the world without much backstory. As for the narrator you'll either love or hate him but that was a design choice and I can't hate them for it. In the future I hope they can bring some famous voices to the game like Morgan Freeman or Gabriel Iglesias. The world isn't full of enemies but when you run into them that indicates a point of interest and I prefer it that way. A world full of enemies would leave you unable to compete tasks in my opinion. Speaking of tasks they are repetitive but every game has them plus they lead to more loot. In regards to the sounds of the weapons I think they're fine. It shouldn't have the weapon sounds of fallout because it's not as serious as a fallout game so goofy sounding weapons fit right in. The complaints about how combat is too easy with guns is justified but if you want to knock the game for being too easy with them then just switch to melee or magic. That'll surely raise the difficulty. I don't think enemies variety is an issue because they may be reskinned by they have been given different looks and resistances as well as elemental abilities. This game isn't prefect but it is far from terrible. There are bugs in the game but that's just an industry norm these days. Is it worth $60? It all depends on what you prefer in a game. If you like exploration with a great crafting as well as some combat sprinkled in then I would recommend picking it up today. If you prefer a more action packed open world with a good story then it's not for you. Expand

    You can turn the narrator off in the audio settings. This game is a fresh take on the open world genre, and that’s something to really appreciate in this climate where everything’s a remaster or doesn’t live up to expectations.

The world is beautiful and the characters are very interesting. The weapons are some of the best in gaming. The magic system is one of the best magic systems in gaming, which is always what I look for, a great magic system and man does this nail it. The Monster hunting in here is better than Monster Hunter and Witcher 3 and Witcher 3 is my favorite game of all time. The story is good enough. But a game that has this good of a combat system and exploration you really don't need a story hens breath of the wild again. This game does so much right, I really don't have any knit picks. Do not do yourself a disservice and pay attention to all of the negative reviews. Give it a try for yourself. It's probably the most original game I've played in the past few years. The gameplay Loop is one of the most addictive I have ever had the pleasure to be addicted to. I have to pry myself away from this game and I can't wait to get back to it. Expand

I am about to conqur the Myriad tribe which is super in the beginning. There are no spoilers in this review. X101 delivered on there promise for a complete game and exciting experience. Most reviews state the world is empty and without action; this is false. Once I started exploring after allowing with one of the two tribes, I have ran into NPC's and battle after battle. I am playing on an Xbox One S and have had some soft and hard crashes, but I believe this to be due to my consoles age. Ark, Diablo, COD and even Fortville crash it on occasion. X10Q did have some missed opportunities with allowing voice acting over a single narrator, but he is not S annoying as most journalists and streamers make him out to be.Comvat Combat ireminds me of the Aekham series blended with Hyrule Warriors and may seem clunky in terms of the latter. The combat system forces seems to respond better to slower input over "button mashing," and can be quite regarding when you land combos right and unlock super wng-fu. The camera can be a bit if a hindrance but, the premise is you are meant to be fluid throughout combat. I think it takes just practice and finding the right rhythm per player. Glitches:  I have obtained the mexhton but cannot spawn it. I do not know if I simple have not obtained proper quest pieces, story progression or this is simply a glitch they did not foresee. The Google and Gnats spawn and work properly, although the Google needs to be leveled to enter harsher waters. I am not there yet. When you modify or craft gear it appears your bioharzard resistant stats decrease and increase as a result. I am not sure if this is a glitch or a subtle strategic mechanic. Currently, there is a glitch if you mutate your physical appearance at a bio-pool, it erases your bio-resistance which X101 has said they are working on patching. While traversing, there are times where you can get stuck in the terrain, but I have been able to jump my way out or my character slides out. Storyline: With either story arch, their are present, although it seems the revenge one currently takes a backseat it seems. The light and dark choices are severely diluted as with most games that promise a good and evil system. I honestly think only Fable did it proper IMO. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes RPG's and even children as it is very comical throughout the game currently. I gave it a 9 out of 10 because it is very complete, because of the current glitches. This is the best release in a few years as someone who fell for AAA titles like 76, Anthem and CyberPunk. Game journalists and streamers are hating on this game way too much. Expand

    OK, that out the way I'm playing on Xbox Series S and I must say the graphics are great. I'm currently 6 hours into the game and have done most stuff so have a good indication of what the game has to offer. The combat is fun and fluid you can chain together a number of combos which then unleashes a super Wung-Fu that is fun. Not only that you can switch between weapons on the fly so can make the combos look impressive.

    The crafting in this game is probably one of the best I have played, everything you find in the vast and beautiful open world you can put together to make epic weapons and gear.

    There is alot to do in the world not just story missions which for me are really fun. You have a lot of side stuff us also a huge number of places to explore. I haven't encountered any issues but that doesn't mean there are any.

    This game is unique and fun to play I struggle to put the game down.

    I had and issue with the narrative but that's easy to deal just turn it down in the settings and I found it much better.

    I would recommend this game to anyone it's not just for kids.

    I gave this a 9 as the game is fun it looks awesome its unique and for what the team have done I'm impressed.

Always discovering something new every time I play. Anyone who has reviewed this as a zero isn't an honest gamer. Though not quite the same game, Biomutant reminds me of Zelda Breath of the Wild, and as highly regarded as that game is, I found it a very empty world with bare bones combat and minimal crafting. Biomutant offers up so much more. For example, the developers haven't just given you one mount, they've given you a huge selection, including a mech. People have slated the narration but I find it quite whimsical, along similar lines of Fable or Little Big Planet, but if one does find it grating the developers were kind enough to put a function in the game settings to tone it down. I've played so many open world games over the years and this is a good game in my eyes, far more varied and in depth than say, the recent remaster of Kingdom's of Amalur, which is currently scoring more on Metacritic, plus graphically it's far superior.

    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.

    Very short (20 hours) even with the filling of the repetitive missions. The enemy AI is very poor.
    After the repetitive missions will make you walk away from the game

    What Meh:
    The name seems the most inappropriate to me, being able to be called "kung-fu animals" or "Fist of Furry" or “Kung-furry” or something more striking and less remote from something as "unpleasant" as "mutants"
    Reminiscent of the Kung Fu Panda movie series. This game has low marks but it is not the infectious garbage that everyone says. If they give it to you or you find it with a juicy discount, go ahead and have a good game that will entertain you for at least 20 hours. If you like Furry/Furros, go ahead

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While the initial thrill of this beautiful game didn't last til the end, there is no denying it's got fun combat and tight, fluid controls that lend themselves to easy and fast sandbox exploration. The world itself is gorgeous and the furry monstrosities that populate it move naturally and aggressively. The upgrading and crafting is fully realized and very fun to get into. Feeling the dramatic improvements in your gear after investing in some upgrades is truly pleasurable. The thing about this game, though, is everything else. Structurally sound, but narratively lacking. At first, the narrative voice over of the story had a kind of Doublefine/Rare appeal that was charming. But as the main quests got completed, and the story progressed, I felt like this storytelling method kept me a few layers separated from the world and the characters within them. I never fully felt the urgency of the world dying, and it was made even more perplexing by the Ark at the end (SPOILER: Why are we leaving? Did I not save the world? Was the world going to end anyways? If so, then why did I just run around every corner of it saving the tree? What about the thousands of furry people down there with their homes and lives? It just didn't add up - saving the world for seemingly NO reason?? Did I get the bad ending? Do I care enough to go back and try to get a better one?). Also, the complaints in other reviews about too many game mechanics that never really get fleshed out are accurate. The last world-eater battle (SPOILER) takes place underwater (a realm you never get to touch again outside of this fight) with a new vehicle and everything. Would have been really cool to have access to underwater elsewhere in the world. The jet ski, the mech, and the hand (???) really have one purpose/mission each and then you don't have any reason or place to use them again. In theory this is disconcerting, but in the actual playing of the game it's just a passing strangeness. The complaints are true, but they didn't really ruin the experience for me. Just kind of perplexing. But the bottom line is that this is a well-made sandbox experience and if you're into that kind of thing, you could do a lot worse than Biomutant. It doesn't pull you in narratively or distinguish itself mechanically as well as other open-world action RPG's, but the bottom line is it's fun. Expand

    I've played my share of games that deserve a 0 to 3 rating. This game is definitely not one of them. People who are complaining about graphics went into this game expecting something looking like Elder Scrolls. This game was never meant to look like that. Its a comic book style art style akin to Borderlands. Others are complaining about the narrator. This I can understand because II've played my share of games that deserve a 0 to 3 rating. This game is definitely not one of them. People who are complaining about graphics went into this game expecting something looking like Elder Scrolls. This game was never meant to look like that. Its a comic book style art style akin to Borderlands. Others are complaining about the narrator. This I can understand because I didn't understand at first, until I realized it's basically telling the tale of a Kung Fu master who saves his world. This style of story telling isn't often used in games and people are used to fleshed out NPC characters. This game focuses on the main character and NONE of the NPCs though. I found the gameplay to be on par with all open world rpg's. That being said it does get repetitive. But this doesn't make the game less fun. I can't stress enough that people going into this game expecting a visual masterpiece instead of a comic or cartoony art style are the reason for 90 percent of the low reviews. The rest are people who don't understand the style. They weren't prepared for a narrative instead of normal ARPG. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A really fun game to pass time .. from the character customization to the crafting system it’s almost limitless possibilities while crafting .. menus and perks and skills are very simplistic and easy to navigate Gameplay fast and fun .. overall I am really enjoying it .. others may feel differently to each their own .. biomutant does have some minor quirks with combat at times and some repetitive missions but over all it’s solid . I Have not encountered any game breaking bugs or any issues in my play through everything has been solid ,the characters that I’ve encountered are unique and you definitely won’t be forgetting any of them !, a lot of them are just tooo funny one guy even looked like he belongs in the 1950s with his leather coat and pompadour hair cut sounding like a ferret/beaver looking Elvis haha Expand

    The game was very fun for me throughout my entire time playing it. The combat was clunky at first but I got used to it and ended up enjoying it in the end. The game is just a good rpg with choices, loot, and a big world to explore.

    Ich kann den ganzen Ärger um dieses Spiel nicht verstehen. Diese ganze Welt ist so nett gestaltet und wirkt ganz und gar nicht lieblos oder nicht fertig. Sicher ist es nicht perfekt, ganz sicher ist es auch kein GTA, Red Dead, Witcher 3, Zelda, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon Zero Dawn, aber es ist allemal besser als dieser Einheitsbrei von Ubisoft. Ich spiele alle Assassins Creed Teile, ja,Ich kann den ganzen Ärger um dieses Spiel nicht verstehen. Diese ganze Welt ist so nett gestaltet und wirkt ganz und gar nicht lieblos oder nicht fertig.

Ich spiele alle Assassins Creed Teile, ja, sie sind auch gut, ja, aber sie sind gefühlt immer gleich. Noch schlimmer ist Watch Dogs Legion. Diese Spiele wurden auch nicht so zerrissen. Beschäftigt Euch mal mit Biomutant, nicht nur 10 Minuten. Klar, besser geht es wahrscheinlich, aber bei einem Entwicklerteam von 20 Leuten wurde meines Erachtens sauber abgeliefert. Wird ja auch noch fleißig nachgepatcht, wie bei jedem anderen Spiel auch. Ich spiele sehr viele Spiele, sofern das als Daddy noch geht, deshalb überlege ich mir sehr wohl womit ich meine Zeit „verschwende“. Gibt dem Spiel eine Chance, ganz ehrlich, lasst Euch darauf ein und Ihr werdet nicht enttäuscht. Peace Out;-) Expand

    After a slow introduction the world of Biomutant is spectacular in its scenery, quirky yet philosophical feel, and plethora of quests and loot. An outstanding effort from such a small team!

    The best game in years. Captures from the first minutes. Yes, the game had problems, but the developers have already fixed a lot, I advise you to go through.

    Biomutant is a game that works technically well and sounds fantastic on paper, but in reality, it has nothing interesting to offer to the open world adventure genre.

    As beautiful as the world of Biomutant looks, so ugly is its filling. Cringe-inducing dialogues, a completely negligible story and bad boss fights and puzzles almost distract you from the fun aspects of the game. Exploring and figuring out the unique game world and a nice sense of progression for example.

    Biomutant has been conceived to awaken great loves in the public, but it will not conquer everyone equally. His personal way of presenting himself and posing his gaming experience is a break from the more classic format and feels like an evolution of the old PS2 and Xbox games.
