First of all, I would like to say that the basis of this game is a superbly designed open world. The same cannot be said about the quests and plot. The quests are very similar and some are generally repeated over and over again without introducing anything new. The game has a very nice crafting system and a fairly large set of different techniques that can diversify the gameplay. However, after finding certain weapons, the complexity of the game drops sharply and it becomes no longer so interesting to fight and explore the environment. I recommend this game to those who want to relax and spend time exploring a large open world because otherwise there is not much else to do here.

I have no earthly clue what this game needs, but it feels so close to being actually great. As it is, it's just alright and feels very unfocused. That being said, I turned a raccoon into Emperor Palpatine and it was a super busted build, so you'll have to excuse me while I go laugh my ass off.

In brief: I enjoyed Biomutant & would recommend it, but I don't think it's worth the full price... I'd recommend holding out for it to go on sale. It's a gorgeous world with engaging characters & fun mechanics. Good-not-great story. Lot of choices, yet limited outcomes. But many small problems/annoyances that can stack up. In more depth? I think there are a lot of positives, and I clearly enjoyed the game enough to play it through completely - but there is a very real sense of incompleteness at points. The environments are beautiful, even gorgeous at times. The world is worth exploring and can really pull you in. The major named non-player characters are fun to meet and have their own quest-lines (which I wish were longer, but enjoyed). There are lots of fun mechanics to play around with. Many mounts are just variants of one another, but several are unique/fun in their own rights. Even so - I spent most of the game running on foot (erm, or all fours, I suppose). The main story-line feels a little simplistic, but was fun/engaging enough. Without spoilers, I will say it improved a bit towards the end - but I still feel like there were some missed opportunities. Many side-quests won't allow progression until more of the story is completed, but the game won't necessarily inform you of this... Just direct you to places where objectives can't be completed at the time. Which can be frustrating, but you learn to expect/anticipate. The combat system took me some time to get used to, but as I learned it I did come to enjoy it. That said? Once learned, is does feel repetitive. In theory this is augmented by the variety of weaponry & skills, but...practically? There's a very limited number of weapon-skills per weapon. Also, there's a handful of gear in the top-tiers that you'll end up (likely/presumably) favoring - and, as necessary, deconstructing/rebuilding with better parts. There's not a TON of casting/bio-abilities, either. So...variable styles of play, but not a ton of selections. Most of the puzzles are simple affairs that will only be challenging if you don't invest some skill-points in intelligence. That said, a couple/few feel insufficiently explained (you'll still work them out, but it's a little frustrating). Also? The puzzles feel like they lose a lot of their weight/importance in that the consequence for failing is minor damage and waiting a few seconds to try again. The third-person camera isn't the worst I've seen, but it can/will be problematic at points (from managing to obscure itself in the environment during combat - to preventing the player from gauging the height/scale-ability of a mountain). It even landed inside one of the world-bosses (Porky Puff) during a battle, almost getting me killed. Several locations glitched for me (and other players) after the initial clearing. Example: Guppo Grotto's elevator is intended to be reusable, but the door glitched on me and wouldn't let me interact with it (workaround was going backwards through an earlier pipe using creative jumping/items/skills). Another example would be certain mobs failing to respawn as intended (more frustrating re certain achievements than limiting game-completion). Also - I found some invisible walls that seem unintentional at one point -specifically Punkle Peak's island not allowing one to completely circle it. And 1 of the (I believe 14) Fluff-Hulk locations isn't tagged/indicated on the map. If you're doing the side-quest connected to the keys they carry, it will still give you an idea of the area... But here's the (spoiler blocked) general location: 10M Ah, and I managed to get 100% of the game's achievements in ~84 hours. Which isn't horrible, but pales in comparison to many games at a similar price-point. Again - I enjoyed the game, but it does feel like an incomplete (or insufficiently polished) product, and thus only worth buying on a (preferably steep) discount.

This game is really charming and beautiful. I don't understand why it was rated so terribly when it first came out. Maybe there were some problems initially and they were patched out? Not sure... I also haven't encountered any bugs, crashes, or performance issues so far. I am really enjoying the game mechanics, the art and music direction, and the story. The story reminded a little of Kung Fu Panda. Some reviewers didn't seem to like the narrator, but I honestly thought his voice was perfect. I think it's worth mentioning that all the side quests I have played so far seemed pretty distinct and interesting compared to other open world games made with bigger budgets. I regret not picking this up sooner. I picked it up on sale for close to $5 and I feel it was the best deal so far this year. To close I always wanted to play Zelda Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom but never got a switch, and this game gives me strong strong impressions of those Zelda games.

Got mixed feeling about this one. Original concept, but missed in a few area. The world is massive and the scenery is amazing but it takes quite a while to get from one point to another if you haven't gotten the fast travel points. The enemies feels repetitive, would have loved some more beasts with different abilities. The combat is ok, not amazing but not too bad either. The story starts really slow and then out of nowhere you can easily end up having 5 main objective.\ Didn't like it a lot until I got the ultra gun form the vault after hunting the first beast, attached a big magazine to it and the rest of the game was too easy, didn't even use any other weapon after that. The narrator was a bit annoying. Would not buy it full price but since I got it discounted I still feels like I got my money's worth.
