Biomutant Reviews
This game has lost even its fun due to the three-year delay in development. It shows a combat system like a puppetshow and a hollow open world which only have frames at all.

For me with more than 60 hours of playing the game and 100% completion of the game, Biomutant is one of the best open world action RPGs of recent years. It really surprises me with its beautiful world, level up elements and so many beautifully designed creatures, for reaching every part of the world and its "World Eater", you must first prepare yourself with proper vehicle and equipment that made the game so much fun. Of course the game has some issues like some elements in battle system and balance of the weapons, but its many strong aspects completely overshadow these issues and make Biomutant a very enjoyable game, I hope gamers know the value of this huge action RPG that made by an small team, because creating such a beautiful huge game by an small team, makes it double worthy and we should encourage them to make more games like Biomutant. If you like action RPGs, Biomutant can give you really enjoyable hours.

Biomutant is very uneven, almost like a “best of” AAA mechanics of the past few years. At the same time, its world is so evoking, so full of life and interesting stories – if you are willing to put the effort to find them – that’s hard not to feel compelled to enjoy it to the fullest.

Biomutant is briskly paced but also a drag at certain points. It’s frequently overwhelming and somehow deceptively simple. Most of the time, it exists in this superposition of contradictory states where its successes and failures coexist and commingle, which lends an undeniably singular quality to a game that, at a glance, doesn’t stray too far from the open-world mold. I haven’t played anything quite like Biomutant before and neither have you. Not everyone will be able to look past the price tag and a parade of minor flaws to appreciate that uniqueness. Regardless, I’m glad that this exists.
With its stunning views, excellent combat, and fantastic audio design that is marred only by the incredibly slow pace of dialog, Biomutant is easily one of 2021’s more exciting titles. Few games in recent years have encouraged multiple playthroughs the way that Biomutant does and that in and of itself is a feat to behold; engaging combat, smart environment design, and an enjoyable leveling and crafting system are held up only in its initial run by odd pacing. Fewer still can say that the subsequent playthroughs are actually better than the initial experience- a rare feat indeed. As it stands, Biomutant is an enjoyable experience, if not perfect, but given time may sit in the pantheon of greatness with the very titles that gave it inspiration irrespective of their specific genre.
As a $60 title, this one is a hard sell. There is enough content here, but I found it so repetitive that I wouldn’t imagine most would go through it. The story is decent, the gameplay can be quite fun at times, and supporting smaller developers is never bad if you feel so inclined. I enjoyed most of my time with Biomutant, and I can’t wait to see what developer Experiment 101 has coming next.
Biomutant has a lot of heart, and really tries to put out some new and exciting ideas, but eventually fails to execute them in the best possible way. It's still a fun game to play, and can become a big franchise, but the devs need to find that killer idea and shift their focus on it.

Biomutant has plenty of room for improvement and the best way to describe it is as an utter waste of potential.
Riddled with repetition, Biomutant is as grand in ambition as it is bland in execution. Where it shines in character creation and choice, it fumbles in its narrative and empty morality system. Where building your powers, weapons, and toys is great, finding all the parts to do so is simply a chore. Odd to say, but in this case, less might have been more, but what is here is fun. Just not as fun as it could have been.
Biomutant is a statement of intent, a deliberate step away from the excess of old and toward a genuinely exciting reinvigoration of the genre.
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.
A kung-fu fantasy world of teenage mutant "cats" and a choice-driven narrative.
Biomutant’s positives ever so slightly outweigh its faults and with more time (and patches), it could grow into a much more entertaining game. Its unique world, extensive customisation and pool of interesting moves and tricks in battle make this game fun to play but for now, a colourful but empty world, a wealth of glitches, and dull objectives make it a tough sell.
Biomutant sags under the weight of its various disparate elements, leading to a game which looks gorgeous, but is frustratingly mediocre.
They fell short on a few, or a lot depending on your perspective and expectations, but I still see it as a very decent outing that shows us what this studio is capable of.
Anyone looking for an RPG with a fascinating story and depth in mechanics and characters has to look elsewhere.

Outside of its charm, BIOMUTANT brings nothing to the table, and feels like it's lacking in all the important places.
Cute post-apocalyptic Kung-Fu world with lovely creatures. You just have to love it.

I don’t feel Biomutant is a failure since it still offered what I was expecting. A crazy RPG set in a weird setting filled with mutated creatures and fun combat. I definitely I got that. I also unfortunately got way more than expected, which ended up diluting the entire package.
An ambitious open-world action-RPG from a new studio that does a lot, but doesn’t do a lot very well.
