Biomutant review for PC, PS4, Xbox One, PS5, and Xbox Series X. Is Experiment 101 and THQ Nordic's open-world game worth buying? Let's take a look.
Biomutant has finally arrived on Switch! Dive into a world of cute mutants and monster-bashing combat. Find out what we thought about it!
This game could have been huge, but sadly it fails big time at just being a lot o fun to play... Which is what it should be because that's how it looks when you first hear about the game.
-But at every turn they fail at fun to play.. What do I mean? Glad you asked -(remember Mario from Nintendo, any Mario, the first time you played it, there was one thing really clear right off the back) -It's super fun to play... Period, no matter what your doing it's fun.
Bungie once said the secret to good game design is take something that is really fun about the game, and extending it to all over the game.
Biomutant could have hit that bar with very little effort. The game has so much going for it. In my opinion the only thing they needed to nail was how it plays / and that's where it fails the most. This is a game that could have sold 23 million copies and instead did 1 million...
Biomutant received a surprise release by THQ Nordic on the Nintendo Switch and while it has various compromises to run on Nintendo’s now aging Switch hardware, it is still good fun.
Good for them, I miss games like this is, was rough at some points but by now I feel it must have got better. Maybe I'm just a sucker for fuzzy things like Ratchet and Clank, and the old Conker and Jak/Dax games. Don't know, just reminds me of those times.
After launching three years ago in a relatively disappointing state, how does Experiment 101's open-world action title hold up?
I played it on the PS5 in 40fps mode and it was pretty decent. Looked great, gameplay was a little but clunky at time, and fairly repetitive, but there's a large map to explore, LOADS of things to do, and you're a gun-toting, kung-fu'ing racoon !!
Accept the game for what it is, and you'll have a good time like I did.
Can't speak for how it was at launch, but the game I played was a 7.5/10
I would like to see this game get a sequel with all the lessons learnt from the rocky launch and with newer tech.
I finished this not too long ago, definitely one of my most favorites I was really in tune with it, I didn't silence the narrator cause it always felt like I was being told a story, lol just like real life I enjoy old people telling me stories every since I was a kid I've always enjoyed that, biomutant 2 would be so mf nice to happen, definitely going for a 2nd playthrough on ps5 this time around
I don't think I've ever seen a game with reviews as polarized as this. Some reviewers are saying its great, others say its mediocre, and others say its abysmal. I don't get it. Are the high reviews from people that are overly forgiving? Are the lows from people that are being overly picky?
Looks like I'll have to wait and see for myself, because none of this makes sense.
Reviews these days are getting completely useless. As with everything in life your own personal experience and views are are really all that matters.
I'd like to thank Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb, among others, for kicking off the eventual death spiral of "journalistic gaming reviews" that's made the entire endeavor of game reviews and recommendations completely meaningless, unreliable, and an exercise in both baseless "journalist" ego-stroking and blatant commercialized bias.
Well done guys. Your careers get a 1... out of 5.
This seems like a game where your own personality will determine how much you like it. It's not objectively good or bad.
