You have this massive world with gorgeous lush jungles or arid deserts with stuff to do, and nooks and crannies to poke your head into, but a lot of it just feels like busywork. It feels very much in the vein of an Ubisoft open-world with a litany of things to do but not much substance to them; perhaps the biggest comparison I could draw is to Breathe of the Wild. There’s a very definite “what’s that?” as you spot something in the distance and want to go explore closer, and for the most part there’s a reward waiting for you in the form of loot; it’s just that this is repeated ad nauseum. Movement feels slow as well, as the vehicles or animal mounts you can acquire move *just* slow enough to make it annoying, which is compounded when you have to trek back and forth between locations for quests. My issue is that I’m just not a fan of this style of open-world, I’m very much aware that this is a “me” problem and know friends who would totally dive into this game to explore every inch of it, but this style of open-world isn’t something I’m huge on.","2025-05-12T18:00:01.734708-04:00",{"id":699,"logo":711,"name":712,"slug":713,"tags":26,"bluesky":26,"twitter":713,"youtube":714,"facebook":713,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":715,"website_url":716,"score_format":280,"average_score":247,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":717,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":284,"reviews_editor_email":718,"editor_in_chief_email":719,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fmonstervine-logo.png","MonsterVine","monstervine","@MonsterVineOfficial","We Cover Video Game News, Reviews, Previews, and More.","https:\u002F\u002Fmonstervine.com\u002F","austin@monstervine.com","will@monstervine.com","diego@monstervine.com",{"id":721,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":722,"author":723,"original_score":729,"normalized_score":108,"review_url":730,"review_date":611,"summary":731,"created_at":732,"updated_at":732,"author_id":724,"last_edited_at":269,"outlet":733},21894,25,{"id":724,"bio":26,"name":725,"avg_score":726,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":727,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":728,"claim_token":26,"article_count":448,"claimed_by_user_id":26},2654,"Blaine Smith",77.99259259259259,"2024-12-03T11:56:29.495935-05:00","2026-06-30T12:08:44.151917-04:00","75%","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamersheroes.com\u002Fhonest-game-reviews\u002Fbiomutant-review\u002F","Players will be able to step into a vibrant and colorful anthropomorphic world with Experiment 101 and THQ Nordic’s open world kung-fu inspired adventure Biomutant","2024-12-03T12:51:19.740649-05:00",{"id":722,"logo":734,"name":735,"slug":736,"tags":160,"bluesky":737,"twitter":738,"youtube":738,"facebook":739,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":740,"website_url":741,"score_format":188,"average_score":222,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":742,"stats_updated_at":743,"headquarters_city":744,"news_editor_email":745,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":746,"reviews_editor_email":747,"editor_in_chief_email":747,"published_authors_count":199,"published_reviews_count":748},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGamersheroes-logo.jpg","Gamers Heroes","gamers-heroes","gamersheroes.bsky.social","GamersHeroes","GHeroes","➡️ Honest Reviews 😇\n➡️ YouTube Guides (330K+!) 📺\n➡️ Poor Journalism 😂\n🔗🌲linktr.ee\u002Fgamersheroes","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamersheroes.com","2026-06-02","2026-07-15T10:53:02.221303","Alameda","casey@gamersheroes.com","North America","CaptainCamper@gamersheroes.com",532,{"id":750,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":92,"author":751,"original_score":759,"normalized_score":137,"review_url":760,"review_date":611,"summary":761,"created_at":762,"updated_at":762,"author_id":752,"last_edited_at":762,"outlet":763},62867,{"id":752,"bio":26,"name":753,"avg_score":754,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":755,"profile_id":756,"updated_at":757,"claim_token":26,"article_count":758,"claimed_by_user_id":756},3923,"Kim Snaith",74.35960591133005,"2025-01-17T06:40:44.005933-05:00","9831ce29-32fc-40dc-b7d6-342d11d31842","2026-07-29T13:40:39.989875-04:00",812,"8\u002F10","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespew.com\u002F2021\u002F05\u002Fbiomutant-review\u002F","Small problems aside, I’ve had a great time exploring the post-apocalyptic ruins of Biomutant.
