I mean you know even the developers knew it wasn’t great when they added a narrator volume setting. However, the longer I played, the more his banter and translations became one of the most exhausting and annoying parts of the game. He almost felt like a sort of Dungeon Master in DnD. No joke, at one point he said, “Your ears pooped!” after I defeated an enemy.Īt first, I saw this narrator as a charming element of the game. Your only way of knowing what anyone is saying is through a narrator who just spouts the most nonsensical stuff that makes you question your own knowledge of the English language. However, what kills it is the lack of depth with a poorly written script and the corners cut by having all characters speaking gibberish. In fact, I felt like it had the potential to really be a special and fun adventure. He feels often like an afterthought, until much later in the game.Īs you can see, the game isn’t short of stuff to do. However, rather than becoming some big shot warlord after those events, your interactions with him are random and usually involve saving a goat or some other animal. He’s a towering figure who once destroyed your entire village and killed your family in the process, when you were a young child. Another character that Biomutant pits you against infrequently is your mother’s killer, Lupa Lupin. If you thought that was it with forces of contention, you’d be wrong. Rather, you’re forced to conquer all tribes, which, if you’ve been cultivating a peaceful morality, conflicts with it. What they don’t tell you is that there are far more tribes in this land than just those two, which is kind of a shame because there were others I would’ve much rather have joined or aligned with. However, they only tell you that you can join one of two tribes, one that is all about unity and one that is all about eliminating the weak to create a nation of strength. You’re given this task in the name of your aforementioned fallen mother who once cultivated peace between the tribes. In addition to that, you’re told that you also need to unite the tribes around this land, in order to collectively take down the World Eaters and create a peaceful nation. Although, as you probably might’ve guessed, they don’t have the means to do it on their own, but require the help of a handy ronan to take down the World Eaters for them. They are separated across all four corners of the landscape and each have their own way of defeating the World Eaters. In order to do this, you must align with characters who were once members of the tribe led by your mother. For absolutely no reason, you’re tasked with taking on this challenge. However, there are evil, dark forces known as the World Eaters that are threatening its very existence, along with the lives of all those who inhabit this world. Keeping this world together, is a massive tree at the center of this area, known as the Tree of Life. In Biomutant, you play as an animal-humanoid creature in a post apocalyptic world that has been ravaged by pollution, thanks to greedy and morally-corrupt companies. This is our review of Biomutant.Ī Story to Save the World That Lacks Depth and Character Now that it’s out, does it live up to the hype? No…not really.
