Being able to swap out individual aspects of a weapon-like the handle or the stabby/smacky/slicey part of a melee weapon-means you can find new ways to reiterate on a build you’re comfortable with. The weapon crafting system is also pretty fun, as its open-ended approach allows you to make powerful weapons from whatever scrap you find lying around. If muscle isn’t working, you can try your luck with magic instead. Players can also spend their points however they like after level ups, meaning you’re not really locked into following one specific archetype. Yes, I did dump everything into a two-handed strength build early on. At the start of the game, you pick from a selection of breeds, which each have their own specialisations, but afterwards you’re allowed to really tinker with your stats to create that one-sided build that’s right for you. The character creator is kind of a masterstroke too, allowing players to create a build that focuses on what they want to specialise in. Dodging and parrying enemy attacks creates thrilling moments in each fight, and there’s enough weapons and abilities to allow players to create a fighting style that’s right for them. The combat is certainly a lot of fun, feeling like a mini-character action game rather than a clunky RPG. From a character and class perspective, Biomutant is incredibly enjoyable. You explore, complete quests, level up and find loot, which you can also customise and upgrade. The Tree of Life is dying because 4 big monsters known as Worldeaters are gnawing at the roots, your parent’s killer is terrorising the landscape and the six clans that own various parts of the world’s land are too busy bickering between themselves to do anything about it.įrom the outset, Biomutant is your typical open world RPG. With a story best described as Wall-E with furries, you control a lone wanderer in a world that’s been decimated by humanity’s blatant disregard for the environment. Unfortunately, the end result is an ambitious game with plenty of bright spots that strains under its own weight. Well, as cute as furball characters can be when they’re packing more heat than a US Army battalion in the middle of a post-apocalypse. When it was first announced, I was immediately attracted to the colourful world and cute furball characters.

Developed by Experiment 101, Biomutant was an extremely ambitious project, that unfortunately launch to very middling reviews, though it was praised for its impressive visuals and interesting custom character mechanics. Players guide a fully customizable character through the anthropomorphic society on a mission to rescue the Tree of Life, the roots of which are decaying due to the corruption’s presence. Released in the spring of 2021 after a particularly lengthy development period, Biomutant is an ecological tale of a fantasy world under siege from a mysterious and creeping corruption.
