The coolest part about the character creator though is how it actually changes your character’s visual appearance. While some mixtures will go best together depending on how you want to play (melee, ranged or psi-based), you’re not hampered for choosing one over the other. You’re some sort of a Racoon/Cat/Squirrel-like creature and you start by choosing your breed from six different choices, each of which has its own advantages and traits, then your attributes and class. The world is so full and so rich with characters and narrative that it’s hard to not get sucked into someone’s side quest simply because of their personality or spend an hour in an abandoned town looking for every piece of hidden loot.īefore you begin your adventure though you’ll first need to create your character. The campaign itself should take you about 10-15 hours or so, but that’s only if you ignore the massive amount of side quests, exploration and puzzles you’ll come across during your journey. Which faction will you side with? Will you show mercy or destroy everything in your path. Whatever choices you make along the way, the Narrator is with you every step, describing the story about your actions and consequences. The land is also controlled by six different factions, all divided up via their own specific ideologies and these nations are in need of someone to either unite or defeat them. You will determine how you want to proceed, and thus, the fate of the world is in your hands. Its roots are massive, spread into different corners of the world, and it is bleeding due to four massive World Eater creatures trying to destroy it. The Tree-of-Life is what keeps the world going but over pollution has caused it to become sick and dying. Oh, and you play as some sort of Racoon/Cat/Squirrel creature, so there’s that.Īn unusual story with an unusual end is how developers describe Biomutant’s narrative, and after getting through it all and working on a New Game+ playthrough, I’d have to agree. There are other nods to many other games like the Zelda franchise, Devil May Cry, Fallout and more, but I kept getting that Fable feeling the more hours I sunk into Biomutant’s fascinating world. If I had to compare Biomutant directly with another game I’d lean towards Fable, but with a post-apocalyptic setting filled with guns and kung-fu. Biomutant does what many games do, taking inspiration from other great titles while having their own take on certain aspects. This was the case with Biomutant.ĭeveloped by Experiment 101, it is a smaller dev-team comprised of former Just Cause developers and a few other industry types, for a total of about 20 staff. Every now and then there’s a title or franchise where I don’t have high expectation or wouldn’t have thought much of it, but then once in awhile I get to play a gem that I’m absolutely blown away in the best way. Then something magical happened it arrived in my lap to review and I have to say, the game has seriously surprised me. Truth be told, I wasn’t really following its development until the past few months when it seemed the release was finally going to happen. Since then, development goal dates have come and gone, but not anymore, as its' long awaited release date is almost here.
