When you’re out exploring, this feels like a world that should be ripe with lots of interesting lore and world-building. It’s a shame that Biomutant’s story falls so flat, and it remains my biggest gripe with the game. Again, it falls on the player to create their own little fuzzy delight and set about either uniting the tribes to bring harmony to the world or aligning with the dark side to bring about another end of days scenario. The tree at the center of the world that provides life to the wastelands is fast being drained of its energy by the four huge bosses, and the various tribes that occupy different regions are all at war with one another. Despite humans having been eradicated, this latest iteration of the world isn’t fairing much better. It’s still the same tale of humanity having driven itself into extinction, with the world having now been taken over by mutated bipedal animals and all manner of hideous yet adorable-looking creatures. As I said above, though, the rough edges were there, and whilst the release of the PS5 and Series X upgrades don’t fix some of the fundamental flaws baked into Biomutant’s core structure, they do provide a greatly improved experience that is undoubtedly the best way to experience Biomutant on a console.īeing a purely visual and performance-based upgrade, the core of Biomutant remains the exact same, meaning anyone who was completely put off by the lack of an engaging narrative won’t be won over by the updated version. Despite Biomuntant’s undebatable rough edges, the picturesque world, with its wonderful sense of isolation, coupled with the excellent weapon customization that encouraged exploration in search of loot, completely won me over. ![]() Some loved it for its scope, ambition, fantastic customization, and the beautiful wasteland it provided players with to explore, whilst others lambasted it for its underwhelming story, a structure that was lacking, irritating narration, and combat that fell a bit flat. When Biomutant was released last year, it left its player base firmly divided. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions are set for release next week, on September 5th.Biomutant Review: A Stellar Technical Upgrade We do know for a fact that THQ is interested in bringing Biomutant to more platforms. Michael was tepid on the game in his original two-star review, but Metacritic reviews, from both critics and users, have been a bit kinder. ![]() ![]() ![]() Combat mixes kung-fu-inspired melee and ranged weaponry, and a variety of vehicles help you get around the world. You customize your fuzzy hero and navigate six tribes on quest to save the polluted Tree of Life that brings balance to the world. If you missed out the first go around, BioMutant is set in a post-apocalyptic world full of humanoid animals. But GamingReplay has outed some very real products in the past, including Mass Effect Legendary Edition. That’s very soon, especially for a port that publisher THQ Nordic hasn’t even announced yet. Last year’s furriest open-world action RPG may be coming to Nintendo Switch soon, if a product listing is to be believed.Īs spotted by GoNintendo (via Eurogamer), the Portuguese retailer GamingReplay has posted a product page for a Switch version of Biomutant, complete with box art and an October 25th release date.
