BIOMUTANT is a post-apocalyptic open-world ARPG that delivers real-time melee, shooter and mutant ability action. Replay ability is enhanced by a varied and deep character progression system, exploration of a systematically generated surface world and underworld by foot, mech, air-balloon, jet ski and much more. Biomutant also features a fully customizable (MMO style) character and mutation system, bionics and creative item crafting, plus an interactive narrative featuring a contextual storyteller where the players creates their own story of survival in a vibrant colourful world.
Features:
* A NEW TAKE ON 3RD PERSON COMBAT: The martial arts style combat system allows you maximum freedom of movement and agility while mixing shooting, melee and powers from your mutations. Acquiring new Wushu combat styles through progression, and learning from masters you’ll meet, constantly adds to your choices and makes sure combat never gets old.
* EVOLVE YOUR GAME-PLAY: You’ll be able to re-code your genetic structure to change the way you look and play. This will of course affect your attributes and in addition to this, exposure to bio-contamination in the world will lead to physical mutations such as mantis-claws and barbed tails, while exposure to radioactivity found in bunkers from the old world will affect your mind and unlock psi-mutations including telekinesis, levitation and more.
* NEXT LEVEL OF CRAFTING: Unleash your creativity when crafting weapons. Mix and match parts to create your own unique single- or double-handed slash, crush and pierce melee weapons. Revolvers, rifles and shotguns and add modifications from cork-screws and battery-powered chainsaw modules to bio-contaminated sludge vials, that’ll give edge to your combat arsenal. There are even characters you’ll meet that’ll craft cool stuff for you, like bionic wings, a jump-pack and even let you modify your Automaton - the scrap-toy sidekick!
* GEAR UP FOR ADVENTURE: You have full freedom when equipping your character. Not only when it comes to choosing weapons you created, but also what type of gear you wear. Equip a gas mask and an oxygen tank for exploring the Dead Zones, thermo-resistant clothes for venturing into cryonic areas or protective gear for taking on bio-contaminated creatures, the choice is up to you.
* SURVIVE IN A VIBRANT OPEN WORLD: You’ll create your own adventure as you journey explore the open world and what lies beneath its surface, by foot, mech, jet-ski, air-balloon and more. Traverse the dying wildland, the tunnels and bunker networks of the underworld, and find your way up the mountains or out in the archipelago. There are lots of discoveries to be made, mysteries to unravel, creatures to confront and weird characters to meet in this vibrant and colorful world.
* AN UNUSUAL STORY WITH AN UNUSUAL END: Your actions play a major part in the unfolding of a story where End is coming to the New World. A plague is ruining the land and the Tree-of-Life is bleeding death from its roots. The Tribes stand divided, in need of someone strong enough to unite them or bring them all down... Although you are guided through the world by a Storyteller that narrates every step of your journey, it’s your actions and choices that’ll decide how your story of survival ends.
Game is last gen but Xbox Series S|X and PS5 are backwards compatible with an update for current gen consoles on the way.
And is also native 4K on current Xbox but is 1080p upscaled on PS5 due to Microsoft having better backwards compatibility.
Ah sorry for the delay with my thoughts, been busy over the weekend but managed to play about 7 hours of Biomutant.
Considering the dev team is 20 people and it’s not a AAA game, it’s decent. It’s been in development for quite a few years I think but I’m not sure it should be charged at a full price game though.
It’s got some jank but there’s a lot to like in my opinion. The start of the game is a bit slow and repetitive but I like the combat and the world is fun to explore. Visually it’s hit and miss but looks surprisingly good at times especially when running through the grass which is a very nice shade of green indeed lol.
The crafting and upgrading is more extensive than I was expecting with options to create your own melee weapons being a pretty cool feature. There are dialogue choices with decisions that appear to have consequences for the playthrough.
A lot of this game is just weird though from the characters to the names of everything but that’s part of the charm I think and makes it somewhat unique when compared to other open world games.
There’s also a constant narrator commenting on everything as well as translating dialogue. I can imagine he will get annoying for a lot of people but I think he can be disabled in the game settings.
Overall I’m enjoying it and will continue to play it. I suspect reviews will be about 7/10 but it will be interesting to see.

Aka it sucks in headshot language "but i'm trying to justify myself into shelling out 70 euros on this"
