Whoever did the writing on this game deserves some serious praise.Īlthough the game lacks a considerable amount of polish, Biomutant seems oddly addictive, if just to see what’s around the next corner or in the next lush valley. The same goes for the excellent sound design.īiomutant’s dialogue is also fun to read through-with lots of witty proverbs, words of wisdom, and black humor-tinted puns that had me laughing out loud. Likewise, the enemies and NPCs you’ll encounter are all very well-rendered. Its visuals are very vibrant and colorful, and the various environments that you traverse through are eye-poppingly great looking. The game’s style is very cartoonish and resembles any of the Saturday morning cartoons we’ve all seen before as kids (or grown-up kids). But in reality, the melee system is flawed, with some attacks not registering, and the feeling that everything seems floaty and without heft. In theory, Biomutant was designed to let you wield giant melee weapons such as swords and axes, or unleash ranged attacks from guns or any psi powers your character possesses. Some of the moves that I tried to pull off were unresponsive and had quite a bit of animation jank to them.Īnother issue is that there is clearly an emphasis on ranged combat.

Whereas in the game’s earlier videos, combat seemed both intuitive and diverse, in reality, it’s a pretty pared-down version of that. The tutorial was informative enough, but after getting into a few scraps with Biomutant’s oddball denizens, I quickly realized that the developers probably should have developed the combat system a little more. After designing your mutated animal character, which seems to be some sort of rodent thing, you’ll find yourself within closed-in areas-a far cry from the beautifully sprawling vistas seen in the game’s marketing stills and videos.Īfter about an hour-and-a-half of wandering through the many narrow corridors and claustrophobic dungeon chambers that serve as the game’s tutorial, things mercifully open up and you get to check out the “open-world” aspect that the developers have boasted about. Lo and behold the game finally releases and it’s a decidedly mixed bag, packed with wasted potential more than anything thing else-although there is still hope for it in the future.Īfter being dazzled by all of the snazzy trailers, Biomutant starts off with more of a fizzle than sizzle. Personally, I thought “Wow, if they can pack all of the stuff they’re promising from these trailers, etc., this could be the next big adventure game!” To me, it resembled the book, Moby Dick, suddenly surfacing every now and then with some flashy preview, only to disappear into the depths of obscurity just as quickly.

There has been a lot of hype surrounding the project known as Biomutant.
