Biomutant Reviews
Biomutant is a game that surprised me and continues to do so with colorful characters, a great line of unlocks, and the general pacing that lends itself well to the story being told.
Biomutant on the PS5 is a greatly enhanced experience that, whilst unable to fix some of the more fundamental issues baked into its core, is a much better-realized version of the developers’ vision. Running on significantly more powerful hardware than that on which it was originally released, Biomutant’s exploration and combat shine brighter than ever. If you were put off by the technical limitations that held Biomutant back, this version is very easy to recommend, and even easier to sink hours upon hours into.
For those with the original, it's a bit of a no-brainer to download and resample this version.
Biomutant isn't a terrible game -- the fighting and crafting systems are both top-notch and give players a ton of choice. But while the world of Biomutant is hauntingly beautiful, the game lacks any sort of narrative substance or character. If you're looking for a strong story or even a weak story, Biomutant will leave you unsatisfied. However, if you enjoy exploration for the sake of exploration, then you'll probably lose yourself in Biomutant.
A game that tries to be many things at once and barely makes it out alive. A good example of why looks aren't everything.
Biomutant doesn’t do anything well enough to make you care–ultimately its most grievous disappointment.
Biomutant provided a unique experience for me as it demonstrated the team’s passion for making a great game with a lot of things to do as your alliance with tribes and the presence of good and evil ways, discovering the world and assembling pieces and configuring weapons and equipment was fun, but with technical problems and a non-combat system Perfect, it may not suit some and you feel bored because there is an empty world most of the time.

It pains me to say that Biomutant feels like a lot of rough drafts of ideas were cobbled together to create an incoherent whole. Experiment 101 has a lot of interesting things at work here and I really hope they keep making games, but focusing in one or two of their best concepts instead of tossing everything they have at a game would serve them well.
Even with a couple of previously mentioned hiccups, Biomutant is a broad and altogether engaging open-world exploring game that devotees of Fallout may appreciate.
Biomutant is a beauty to behold with environments begging to be explored, and the combat is fluid, agile and a heck of a lot of fun. The mini boss creatures are challenging enough, but the worldeaters are something else entirely. The wilderness does feel a little too empty at times, even with mounts and vehicles, and fast travel doesn’t help in this regard. However, when you do get in and explore that cave, abandoned ruin or underground bunker, you’re rewarded with copious amounts of loot and components.
Biomutant certainly has its moments. Unfortunately, many bugs, unbalanced fights, and the sheer abundance of systems always give the little rodent a leg up. Many things seem monotonous, the tribal fights get boring after the second round and those who always keep their distance can even defeat the strongest "Lupa Lupin". In addition, there is the storyteller, who has too little to say on the one hand and far too much to say on the other. Biomutant definitely has potential to be much more entertaining. It seems as if the developers simply put more on the plate than they could actually squeeze out. It's a shame, because the little ball of yarn has grown on me a bit, despite a few quirks.

Biomutant is like listening to that song your friend just adores but you don’t have it in you to tell them you don’t like it. You smile your way through it but the experience you really like is watching them talk about it. You stomach the song because you love your friend.
A kung-fu fantasy world of teenage mutant "cats" and a choice-driven narrative.
BioMutant features a lot of interesting components, but they convey a feeling that none have been truly polished. In fact, the recurring feeling is one of lack of purpose, leading to a somewhat salty and simplistic experience. Despite everything it is visually appealing and it has a fun and diverse combat mechanics. It is mainly a game suitable for those who like to explore every corner and always have some content outside the main quests.

Biomutant is a game that is entertaining yet bogged down by the challenges of the open-world genre. The story is very interesting, but the repetitiveness that comes with open-world games is on display here. Yet there is a lot of entertainment value that can’t be ignored. The world looks amazing and there are a lot of fun moments when you create a character and level up into a powerful mutant. It may not be a perfect game, but I think it’s worth trying.
Those were the first words mentioned about Biomutant, found in an advertisement in GamesMarkt, a German gaming magazine. However, it was officially announced a couple of days later on the 21st of August 2017: since then, the hype and expectations have been growing and growing. Personally, I haven’t been following Biomutant‘s development from the very beginning. I purposely avoided looking too much into it, first learning about it I believe at E3 last year. For open-world RPGs, I love experiencing them with just a basic idea of the story!
Biomutant has some structural problems; the game tries to be much bigger than it can, and it ends up unable to shine in any field. However, the game still gets to a good general level, being able to entertain the player for a considerable number of hours.

Away from the diluted AAA experience and the quirky Indie market, Biomutant slots somewhere in the middle, taking the best and worst aspects that these two extremes have to offer.
Biomutant doesn't revolutionize action RPGs, but it's a title that will be worth playing after a few more updates or a price drop.
Biomotent is an interesting game that could have been better if its creators had more experience and resources. The Biomotent experience is recommended when there is a significant discount and there is no better game on the market.
