They all blurred together as this single-voiced cast. Thus, they lose all personality and ability for me, as the player, to connect to them and separate them from one another. Nonetheless, this narrator translates all the characters in the game. Hearing him say, "this could be the beginning of the ending of everything", became rather tedious for the twentieth time. This same narrator will randomly drop lines while you're in the world and point out objects and locations of interest. You see, in Biomutant, all the characters speak their native languages - that's fine - but you have all of what they say translated to you by a narrator. The character designs, world, and lore behind everything were intriguing, but I struggled to connect to anyone, and for a while, I couldn't put my finger on why? Until I realised it was the narrator that drives your story. Overall I found the narrative in Biomutant to be a bore. I won't spoil all the rather silly pieces of armour I've found, but I will say I found a duck mask about two hours into the game, and I kept upgrading that, and I haven't changed it at all since then-no regrets from this mighty duck. It's all very a-typical RPG stuff, but all Biomutant's gear, from armour to weapons, are built from old things from our planet Earth. The look of your character continues to grow as you progress through the game, finding different outfits from cupboards and bins, which also provided defensive stats. Overall the stats don't matter too much in Biomutant, but you may want to build a small, slender mutant or a thick one - the choice is yours. At the end of this process, you can colour your character from stark yellow to bright purple, which is fun. You're then able to tinker with the DNA of your biomutanted creature by moving a diagram between different attributes, which also shapes the size and shape of your character. Each has various perks for example, one is simply a tank character, another a stealth-based breed. But it made me wish for a smaller world, fewer missions, and a more polished experience overall, rather than the scope presented here.Īs you begin Biomutant, you're presented with a character customisation screen for your little mutated creature, of which you can pick from six different breeds. You may love that, and there is some charm to it, that's for sure. But that also comes with many negatives, and the game simply doesn't feel as polished as AAA open-world games. There's no way of understating how big of an achievement a game this size and scope is from a small and new team. I like it I love the ideas - but it's just very messy. In 2019 I played a demo for Biomutant at PAX Australia, and oddly the thoughts I shared then are very similar to those I have now. The whole game kept me hooked with that same curiosity to know more and desire to seek out the world's interestingly designed characters there are just a few un-shined bolts behind this machine. A couple of years ago, that trailer was the reveal of Biomutant, an open-world action RPG from the small and new team of Experiment 101. The teaser trailer showed off a small mutated creature fighting a massive monster, and that world instantly captivated me. Every year there's a game trailer released that grabs me and jumps to the top of my most anticipated list.
