It may not be a sequel but the influences from other games, from Zelda: Breath Of The Wild to Fallout, are very obvious and almost never done as well as in the original games. The real problem with Biomutant though is that it’s not really a new game at all. The colourful visuals are a real breath of fresh air, especially for a post-apocalyptic game, and the only downside is that the animals aren’t really that cute, even though we think they’re supposed to be. There’s nothing terribly interesting going on in it but it is very pretty, to the point where we thought we were playing the PlayStation 5 version at first. In the end, the best part of Biomutant is simply the open world itself. Not because there’s a massive difference between most of them but because they’re all made out of different bits of post-apocalyptic detritus and fitting together broken road signs and machine parts with little or no restriction is quite fun.īiomutant – the combat is okay, but nothing more (pic: THQ Nordic) The most interesting element of customisation is the weapons though. The action is fine once you get used to it, and there’s a good sense of scale with a lot of the bigger enemies, but there’s too little feedback to get any real enjoyment out of it (apparently nobody wants to see blood or damage with all the furry animals).Īs you continue to level up you get access to more elemental magic abilities and psychic powers, some of which are limited by what character class you choose at the beginning. The melee combat is better but it’s not very varied, with everything revolving around getting in three combos so you can perform a super move. The aiming of the former is never quite reliable enough though, with an airy lock-on system that always seems to have ideas of its own about who you should be shooting at. The tone Biomutant takes is fairly bizarre given the combat is like a simplified Devil May Cry, as you switch between guns and swords. That not only ensures every conversation takes twice as long as it should but immediately distances you from it as well, ensuring it’s almost impossible to care about any of the characters or events. Biomutant is an open-world, post-apocalyptic RPG with a. All the animals speak in a gibberish noise and the narrator has to translate these back to you in English, preceded by comments like ‘He says’ or ‘She thinks’. Biomutant is very nearly here, and reviews for the game have gone live ahead of the title arriving on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
