Of course, like any open-world game, there is ample side content unfortunately, the vast majority of it is very repetitive and unenjoyable and often revolves around finding x or y, with each quest utilising identical mechanics and, in many cases, solutions. In addition to this major lockout, there are multiple smaller lockouts, such as bosses surrounding an outpost being automatically awarded to the player, either due to some gimmick such as releasing bugs into the outpost or by the captain of the outpost having a change of heart and deciding to join you. Biomutant’s rather bizarre insistence on locking players out of content.Īround two hours into the game, players are presented with a choice that essentially locks out roughly 6-8 hours of main story content for players choosing to play as a light-aligned character while offering no alternative content in its place.Lack of Content.īiomutant’s main storyline is very short, at roughly 10 hours this situation is made worse by two major factors. Image credit BioMutant - Published by THQ Nordic and developed by Experiment 101. The inhabitants of the world have strange names for everything, with some more humorous than others, such as ChugaChugs (trains), which I found genuinely funny, and others being downright ridiculous such as Munster Honter (Monster Hunter), Gnoat (goat) and Porky Puff (the name given to a particular Worldeater) I would not be unhappy to see Biomutant quality visuals in a 9th-generation first-party release, and Experiment 101 can be proud of what they have accomplished.īiomutant’s world design is particularly impressive, with dynamic weather and day and night cycles making the world feel alive unfortunately, this is the only aspect of the world that feels alive, with most NPCs and wildlife rarely moving more than a few inches from their spawn point unless in combat with the player.įor those who like to capture their journey for posterity, Biomutant includes a fully featured photo mode, allowing players to capture some truly impressive images. Visuals are one area where Biomutant punches well above its weight. As a result, they were forced to cut a few corners unfortunately, for those looking for an immersive RPG experience, one of those corners was NPC design and animation.įortunately, this lack of attention to detail does not extend to clothing, which is not only high quality but incredibly diverse, with hundreds of unique item designs players can mix and match to their heart’s content creating a unique look. Like most aspects of Biomutant, the developers tried to do too much. Most characters appear to be randomly generated body parts thrown together to make the world seem stranger and more exotic.ĭespite having so few faces to animate an entire species sharing the same face, characters rarely show any expression, with dead eyes and motionless faces, even as they share dire news or glad tidings.

Character Design.īiomutant has varied character designs, but I would not call them “good”.

Biomutant is hands down one of the worst games I have ever played, and certainly the worst game that I played in 2021 - BHReviews Points of Interest.
