![]() The other major issue is that Biomutant doesn't give players any reason to complete all the various puzzles and fetch-based quests. Because Biomutant only has a narrator (the NPCs themselves talk in a squeaky nonsense speech), the conversations feel even more repetitive and you'll likely end up trying to skip out on as many of them as you can. The main issue is that each of these conversations is structured almost identically, which gives the NPCs themselves no real chance to display any individuality save for their folksy colloquialisms. When meeting a named NPC, players will have to slog through a too-long conversation where the NPC comments on the player's past, their affiliated tribe, and their general aura before finally giving them some sort of quest. (Photo: THQ Nordic)Ĭombined with the too-simple plot are the generic NPCs, each of which lacks any real personality. ![]() However, the game confusingly gives players the option to opt out of the Tribe War about halfway through the game, bringing that plotline to an almost too-neat resolution. The Tribe War quest has slightly more variance, as players will be tasked with taking down different outposts through different means. Players meet an NPC and help them build some sort of vehicle or mount through a series of fetch quests, and then use that vehicle or mount to defeat the World Eater. Each of the four World Eaters are resolved through the same pattern. The plot of the game is pathetically basic: players need to defeat the four World Eaters and unite the six tribes to reach the end game. Finding a fighting style that fits you is probably the game's biggest strength, as there are virtually limitless weapon combinations that change the flow of combat.īiomutant's biggest flaw is its tedious and rough quest-driven narrative. Most of these weapons can be customized using handles and add-ons found in various ruins throughout the world. They can also pick between different ranged weapons that include pistols, rifles, and shotguns. ![]() Players will also quickly get to choose between a variety of different weapon styles, ranging from the slow and lumbering two-handed blade to a multi-purposed gauntlet that can shoot flames and bust through walls. At the outset of the game, players will get to choose their character's appearance, stats, and class. (Photo: THQ Nordic)īiomutant presents itself as a game full of meaningful choices. Biomutant revolves around resolving the Tribe War and dealing with the World Eaters. ![]() That tragedy not only directly led to the death of the main character's parents, it also led to the fracture of the character's village into six distinctive tribes, who are now at war with each other. ![]() While the main character's memories of the past are patchy, players quickly learn that he left his home after a tragedy involving Lupa-Lupin, a large predator-type creature. Players take on the role of a ronin-like warrior who has returned to his home after a lengthy period of time. The World Tree that sustains the post-apocalyptic world is dying due to four World Eaters gnawing at its roots at the corners of the known world. Long ago, a generic corporation polluted the world to the point of destruction, mutating its residents and leaving countless ruins in its wake. The world of Biomutant is one on the precipice of disaster. ![]()
