Alex & Mike talk Biomutant, a game from Experiment 101/THQ Nordiq you likely have not heard of. While the AAA side of the industry tends to homogenization and imitative, cinematic presentation, “AA” games remain creative and innovative in 2021. Drawing on inspirations as varied as Dark Souls, third person shooters & kung fu cinema, Biomutant is Ratchet & Clank on acid, developed by a team of 20 people.

"Vigil Games may not be around anymore but their 2 Darksiders games really raised the bar for 3D action adventure games. Let's take a look at both titles' gameplay and worlds and see which one emerges victorious." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Darksiders 1 is a complete game but it’s obvious with Darksiders 2 they ran out of budget after the Ice world and the game just becomes a poorly paced mess.
Yeah, great game so far, and I can't complain about the PC version. 1080P @ 120FPS is just fine. It may not be the most graphically advanced title ever, but it looks fine, and allows me to apply things like AA/AF (NVCPL) and higher resolutions, so I don't mind.
But yeah, the UI modelling is very strange. Death seems to be rendered at 800x600 or something. Perhaps a patch will sort it, but it's hardly game-breaking.
"These guys busted their asses to make a phenomenal game and all over the web the console players are basically saying “Wow! This is fantastic! Thanks, Vigil!” while a few PC blowhards are going off about how “shite” THQ and Vigil are and how they’re getting “fucked over”. Come on. The game runs really well. You’re not getting fucked over."
as a PC exclusive gamer with a beastly rig that can max anything, I agree with what this man said, it looks better than console, and runs just fine, stop your bitching, you entitled twats.
