Biomutant

Playing Biomutant made me think of simpler times, when I just turned my game console on and started playing without a care in this world, or in any world at all. It was me, my old-school 30" TV and the game in front of me, nothing more, nothing less. While it for sure has some flaws like a slow start, some combat junkiness at first and a couple of cut-scenes that look low budget-ish, by no means they hinder the end result of this great action-RPG. If these weren't present, a perfect score could have been very possible.

Small problems aside, I’ve had a great time exploring the post-apocalyptic ruins of Biomutant. It’s a world that begs to be explored, and with so much loot to be found, it’s always worth going off the beaten path. An interesting story is backed up by wonderfully fluid, engaging combat, and it’s made even better thanks to deep equipment customisation options. It might not be the most polished open world adventure out there, but it’s entertaining from beginning to end. What more could you ask for, really?

Don’t be fooled by its cuddly-looking characters with silly names. Biomutant is a robust and enthralling RPG with a lot to offer and plenty of ways to see it play out.

Biomutant doesn't deliver on some of its more interesting promises, but its earnest, bizarre world is still a joy to get lost in.

“Despite biting off more than it can chew, Biomutant is a creative labor of love with strong RPG hooks.”

Biomutant, developed by Experiment 101, is a story of survival and renewal in a world populated by mutated, anthropomorphized animals. An open-world action RPG played to the tune of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you’ll take control of a vengeful fuzzy warrior who comes face to face with a new, apocalyptic threat.

A huge open-world game with a lot of fun novelties but annoying and broken issues.

Experiment 101's action RPG has a strong foundation, but it stacks too much on top.

Biomutant presents a different take on the post-apocalypse, but a forgettable story and uneven gameplay hold it back.

A boring, broken open world treads water with beauty and charm.

Biomutant is equal parts good and bad. There is a lot to love but It’s a massive game that buckles under its own weight. It does have a ton of interlocking systems. But the issue is, a lot of those systems have broken gears. So the well-oiled machine that Biomutant could be, still blows smoke in your face at random intervals and singes your eyebrows.
