But pursue through and the world starts to really come alive, as multiple missions, side quests, secrets and conversations appear which in turn lets Biomutant come into its own, with it playing out as a loot hunter’s dream. Hell, even reaching double playtime figures sees Biomutant still sitting on the brink, ready to fold this way or that as players get to grips with the immense amount of work and detail that is found within. Honestly, I could have sat here and written about my first few hours that played out as a constant battle with boredom, with a slow opening segment and breaks in play bringing about a dodgy start. Much like the developmental process, what you get out of Biomutant will only come about after many hours have been unfurled. It all takes a while for things to kick in though. If truth be known though, there is no real need to debate for too long – once you get away from the detail and chance to make multiple changes and amendments, upgrades and abilities will be fast thrown your way as you evolve your little mammal into the being you wish. It’s here where you may initially find yourself spending longer than you would wish, taking a considered approach for each and every change you make in the hope that it will affect your adventure ahead. Multiple initial ‘breeds’ can be picked from, and then each and every attribute can be amended before you’ve even set foot in the world of Biomutant Vitality, Strength, Intellect, Agility, Charisma and Luck all need to be considered. That all starts from the character creation.Īs gamers we’ve long been treated to character classes and creation opportunities that go deeper than anything before it, but honestly that of Biomutant takes things to a new level. And it’s here where Biomutant totally focuses, with every single decision you make promising to alter the land before you. It’s here where you come in, as a lonely child looking to take in a life of revenge, of world-saving commitment, and of decision-making. I put this title up with the borderland series.Biomutant tells the tale of a world which is dying, with the Tree-of-Life at its centre being destroyed by its roots. Give this game a chance, I have not enjoyed a game like this in forever. I had no issue, I expected it to be silly and it delivers. Narrative/narration/dialog is the only thing that might be hit or miss. Every type of collectable has its own unique puzzle to solve. Being able to use it everywhere would have been so much more fun. The only downside to the mech was that you could only use in certain areas, though I felt the areas of usage were fair. Some were animals others boats and a litteral giant hand that can shoot. A host of crazy vehicles and mounts with different abilites. Huge open world with plenty of interesting things to do. I can be as silly or serious with the character creator as I want. It wasn't until I had nearly 100% the game that my loot depended on god rolls to improve my loadout. An actually satisfying loot system that makes me feel powerful. The enemy factions will surrender before you take them all down giving you the option to accept or wipe them all out. A faction system that gives you so much agency on who you want to side with or annihilate. This is one of the most fun, goofy, over the top looter shooters I have ever played. I was very fortunate while playing this game at launch and experiencing nearly zero glitches and hiccups. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
