I refused to watch all the BS negative reviews and opinions leading up to Biomutant's release because gaming is subjective and spoilers are aplenty these days. Gaming is also in a perilous position due to social media and the ever increasing crying and moaning no matter what a develpoer does these days. Instead of "thank you" it's always "more' or "I need this" or "the game's too different" or of course "It's the same game every year". I'm sure I missed a few. If I love something and look forward to it, I learned not to create this false hype. It's great to be excited, but hyping yourself up YOUR OWN expectations and getting something different does not make it a bad game. Biomutant throws plenty of ideas and functions in the mix, old and new, and it all starts coming together quickly. I love how smooth the combat and exploration are. There are a great deal of techniques to master in terms of skills and combat, and there's still a massive crafting system to mention. The graphics aren't exactly realistic, but damn do they bring this amazing, zany world to life. I love the mix of 3D, cartoon, and realism, it looks like an insane world where survival (and Wung Fu) is paramount. I'm going to be honest as always, and adjust my score as needed. Until then I'm going to say Biomutant is one of the best things to happen to gaming in a while. I'm loading back in. I hope you enjoy the game for what it is, not what it isn't!
