‘Biomutant’ Review: Full Of Great Ideas, But Many Fall Short

A four-year wait has turned ‘Biomutant’ into one of the most anticipated games of 2021, but it isn’t the sleeper hit many are expecting.

75-85.

 

[amigastar]

74-80

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Because I find many people other than myself to have mediocre or shit taste.

Says the dude who posted this banger in the other thread:

In my mind the first good game Crytek ever made that I wanted to play was Ryse.

It is down.

70 I reckon, has promise but too many open world games now, it needs to really do something new to not get boring after the initial buzz of entering a new world.

 

[RedWhiteBlue]

I wish I could trust reviewers these days but I really don't.

Even the likes of Skill Up after Cyberpunk have left me feeling like I want to know what's actually going on behind the scenes.

I like ACGs approach of at least buying the game himself so I feel like there is no secretive relationship with publishers or developers.

Some guy sitting in his shiny yellow Cyberpunk gaming chair telling you the game is actually quite good. Or some other guy making agreements with his buddies on some email list to "get" devs and publishers that they don't like.

Biomutant seems like the kind of game that doesn't have enough hype to be an 85+ but probably not broken enough to manage less than 65.

I don't mind Eurojank so I've bought on PC. I don't expect it to review super well but I got my money's worth from Elex and this looks light years ahead.

[Elder Legend]

updating as we speak, be patient with me!

 

[Entroyp]

Seems like a hard pass. Cool idea though.

 

[Arcadialane]

Yikes. this is looking bad

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

Aye, looks like a pass. A shame considering it had nice little quirky ideas (like travelling around on a carpet or a mechanical hand), but it also looked quite rough around the edges.

 

[Jadsey]

Yikes...straight to GamePass

 

[Fredrik]

Bummerrr! Low scores at Gamereactor
Will still play it!

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

Garbage incoming

Expected review scores so far.

 

[Danteyke223]

I don't trust this guy since he shilled Cyberpunk, and shat on Assassin's Creed Valhalla and kept moaning about being underlevelled.

 

[Karak]

Mine for ACG
Wait for Sale

 

[Miles708]

Yikes. this is looking bad

Are we rating the same article?

Forbes review ends exactly like I hoped it would.

 

[Putonahappyface]

"Score - 3.5/10".

Holy shit this game is going to flop like a donkeys flaccid cock.

 

[Werewolfgrandma]

I don't understand complaining about repetitive combat because I think I'm yet to play a game with combat that wasn't repetitive. Seems like a weird complaint.

 

[Raphael]

"Score - 3.5/10".

Holy shit this game is going to flop like a donkeys flaccid cock.

It already pushed big numbers on steam. Has been in top 1 or top 3 for quite awhile.

Added ya buddy

Console is where it might struggle especially ps4, ps4 pro and ps5.

 

[Interfectum]

Seems like a good straight to Game Pass game.

 

[skit_data]

Reviews all over the place, fz.se gave it 4/5. They gave Returnal 3/5 so...yeah. Returnal is way better than that IMO.

I’ll probably reconsider my stance on them as my go to source for reviews.

 

[amigastar]

Expected nothing more, honestly.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Game is getting destroyed. Will probably end up in the 60s.

 

[elliot5]

Damn, I'm good. Guessed Returnal and this on the money.

 

[TheMan]

Yikes, this is disappointment. I was looking forward to this and I know this game has been in development forever. Damn.

 

[FunkMiller]

Ouch.

 

[Arun1910]

It's at a 67 on Metacritic My Mid 70 was way too high.

Guess this will be on Game Pass in a few months.

 

[SecularIX]

Still the best (and only) good game of 2021.

 

[Putonahappyface]

I wanted and hoped this would be a sleeper.

 

[Shane89]

bam

 

[*Nightwing]

OooIt is down.

I screenshot in browser history since Forbes trying to make me a liar

Spoiler: Forbes article screenshots on my dying tablet

 

[Arun1910]

Still the best (and only) good game of 2021.

Are Returnal, ME Legendary Edition, RE8 a joke to you? HMM?

 

[Kilau]

I give it $2.99/$59.99

 

[Hayabusabruh]

I thought I was going to have something to hold me over for Scarlet Nexus. Nope.

 

[Ailynn]

Maybe it'll be better after the day 1 patch?
(Hopefully)

 

[[Sigma]]

The PS5 BC nonsense seems to be the least of this game's problems now. That's unfortunate but I still plan to play it at some point likely soon.

 

[Fredrik]

Are there any PC reviews out yet?

 

[AnotherOne]

 

[Spukc]

Shame would have loved to get this game..
seems not worth it right now.

 

[Dolomite]

Solid 80. Will imo have longer legs than expected because of the recent controversy but I'm 50/50 on if the publisher will risk a sequel

 

[dorkimoe]

So what’s the consensus. It’s shit cuz it doesn’t run good on consoles or shit cuz actual gameplay

 

[Skifi28]

Ouch, I thought it looked pretty interesting. Let's wait for a few more...
