BIOMUTANT

This is a very attractive looking game with great visuals and a large world to explore with conflicts and discoveries to be found. However, it soon becomes repetitive and while the environments and monsters change, the battles and gameplay doesn't. The story too is lacking any real depth and inevitably, you just stop caring after a while. It isn't all bad though, there's still a lot to see and experience within the game, with a fair bit of customization for character attributes, weapons and armour etc. Overall: Not bad, just not that great either.

I will admit this game has a lot of dialogue especially at the beginning but if you are willing to get through it the game is actually very good. The combat will actually make you feel like a badass if you take the time and learn to do the different combos. This game is something different and I really enjoy what they did with it.

This game caught my eye entirely because of the dazzling colour and light of the scenes I had perused among marketing screenshots. It's a post-apocalyptic world which appears to have benefitted from the demise of the previous apex species, and in their wake an innumerable collection of new species, and utterly unique mutants, have risen from the ashes. If you can't stop taking the unserious too seriously you won't like this title, but if you can embrace your inner problem child it's a playground of creation, destruction and unhinged furry mayhem. The open world is like an 80s anime, filled with bright colours, wildly impractical everything, and ten tons of fun in every wushu squirrel. "Wung Fu" that provides blade and gun action at speeds so frantic my partner is easily able to identify what I'm playing from two rooms away by the key clacking. Dodging, pouring gunfire from your handmade...thingys...only to roll in close and batter a foe to death with customized toilet plungers dangling with wrench heads and other assorted junk. Yes...high speed plunger combos executed by a seemingly infinite potential range of custom mutants that get droopy ears in the rain. Plot? Sorta, yeah, in the same sense the droopy eared plunger ninja is an identifiable species. Kill the bad narration and run through dreams of madness with only Gibberish heard spoken. Trust me. The apocalypse never seemed so inviting, the protanist both pettable and lethal, and the very land beneath your pattering paws so vivid and unreal. Where Fallout is grity this game is clever and silly. Given the massive discount you can get on it these days, pick up the Mercenary Class DLC addition. You'll see why the minute you roll out with your low budget ninja movie costume and twin blades.

This game is awesome! I have to play on the lowest settings because of my laptop capabilities but it's still playable and I'm having a blast learning the game so far.

Tried Biomutant to scratch my Horizon itch...open world, exploration, cool fights, character development. I have tried it for some hours and refunded it - the UI is plain bad (obviously made for a console, a PITA on a pc), full of long cutscenes with a narrator that killed my nerve, and a tutorial that forced me into one bossfight after the other. The dozen different attack types are distributed between a lot of buttons, and fighting degrades into hectic button mashing. A shame for the cool creatures, and the promising story, but just isn´t fun to play.
