I can appreciate the fact that this game is 100% free of BS. No monetization, no internet required, just start up and play. And I don’t know what game some of these commentators are playing, but this is far from a bad game.

[@guppy9186]

I’ve not been able to get into a game like this for a long time. It’s unique, the exploration. Like Jake said you can get lost in it. It’s a chill and fun game. If they’re a small team I tip my hat to them. Had a real god time playing this

[@unknownbytes2874]

Hope they don’t cancel the IP entirely and instead make a sequel fixing all the problems the first one had If history has taught us anything it’s that 2nd games of most major franchises just stand out (i.e AC2, uncharted 2)

[@coffinmyface4237]

I wish ac1 had been more popular, we could've had a much better series if they kept the trend of game play, story definitely needed work but the game play was, and still is, the deepest in the series

[@xJayhawkFANx]

That's exactly why I'm buying the game. This dev cares about this game. They just needed more time, help, and money. I'd support a dev who is passionate about their game even if it's lackluster rather than the money hungry hogs game developers seem to be these days. I'm going to support these devs by buying it at full price. I could wait for sale, but me giving them extra money is me showing my support.

Underrated comment

[@doomsdayng]

In my opinion, this feels like a Fallout game - or Skyrim - in that the story is weak and some of the NPCs are shallow, but the world is the real star and your time spent in it is the real draw. Add to that the best kung-fu stuff I've seen in a game since Jade Empire and soooo much fun with classes, combat and crafting, and this is a real hit for me. Plus, an indie development team of 20 people made this! Give them some fame and money and who knows what they could turn out next game?

There is nothing to do, every npc says the exact same thing just worded a little differently, the narrator constantly talks over every action you do, the only real stat worthwile is HP the rest just feels like it does nothing, the game is total garbage and it's being sold at that price, it's pathetic

@@michska53 I second this comment heartily. But then again, there are people who played less actions games/ARPG/fighting games... Or Have low or 0 expectations... I'll rate this game a 2/10.

If it was like 15 bucks ok, understandable. But god damn 60$ for this type of game? It deserves the criticism.

Seems like having a single narrator was less of a "creative decision" & more of a budget decision. Voice acting would take this game to another level.

@@luiz_flores except that hollow knight would be considered nearly unethical coming from a AAA company with the amount they worked on it. Itd be almost like lemonsky hard carrying most of the develpment while still remaining good. Plus its a very different game going for a different atmosphere. a traditional metroidvania doesnt need text at all to be good much less voice acting beyond entity noises, just look at super metroid, its almost purely atmospheric storytelling. This is an open world hack and slash which... i mean either dont have story or you do, and it feels almost obligatory that theres at least a voice saying something, especially if its done outside of a cutscene. That and theres the benefit of likely not being reworked all the dang time because it was in development hell with a lot of people contributing

I love this game so much! The developers created a game for people like me that enjoy exploring &, more importantly, getting lost in a world without being able to just skip through everything. So many games today cater to players that seem to only care about seeing the end credits asap but Biomutant makes you have to play through the entire game instead of giving you a way to skip through whatever you want. I understand that's not for everyone but it's everything I've been missing in games for a decade or so.

Personally I love this game. I don't see why a lot of people hate it. It seems all they want to do is rush through the game and finish it as soon as possible which is not suitable to this game. In this game, you need to stop and listen every now and then. The questing may look repetitive (which I do agree) but it is the World-exploring that goes into the questing part which balance the game nicely. You don't just go to an area similar to the last one. Every quest area could have different conditions, enemies, situations to overcome and so forth. The weapon and armor modification systems are very good as well, allowing you to create your own unique weapon early in the game which can help you greatly. I have personally created a shotgun which has an increased damage up to 900 per shot and it really helps out early in the game (after the first Worldeater).

I was waiting for this game, then when the reviews came in, I was kind of disappointed. After a bit of thinking, I took it anyway. And I definitly don't regret it. I think this video resumes perfectly the game, for those who hesitate. It's definitly rough around the edges. Lots of things not explained and you have to figure out (or just watch YT videos). Storytelling is lackluster and quests a bit repetitive. Menus can be overwhelming at first. It really misses a 'compare' function for the gears and weapons, and a lock for the combat. But then you start to get into it. You upgrade your character and gear. The crafting is really deep and interesting. You get a grasp of the combat system. Exploration is great. The art direction very original. All in all a very nice experience.

If you're can't compete with mega devolpers don't charge full price because you set expectations. Additionally Mass Effect is riding it's legendary status with the legendary edition. I have it and it definelty should have been touched up more but for 3 games at $20 a piece it's more palatable for me. Still love the concept for Biomutant and if it was $40 I'd have bought it 100% regardless of reviews.

Well i mean even in recent years Id say a large portion of AAA have similar issues with their games. Especially in the open world market. From bland quest systems to lack luster characters.

I'm excited for this one to come out. I hope I can have some mindless looting fun like I do with the borderlands series.

[@412JFury]

I'm still just as excited as I was before. I just want fun exploration and descent combat. Botw has very basic meh combat, no story, lame side quests... But is my second favorite game of all time due to pure exploration. I'm all in and everything I see looks so good. It would have to feel completely different from how it looks for me to not like it. Great review!

[@christiangamer3628]

@@reyalfa18 Its just his personal opinion, relax. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. I personally agree with him that the combat is meh from what I've played. "You definitely haven't played botw then" So he hasn't played a game that he claimed he has played just because he has a different outlook on it than you? He even went as far to say it's his second favorite game, and you're acting like he just trashed all over it because he pointed out some flaws.

[@CAMOHEADSHOT]

This game almost gives me State of decay vibes in terms of the first one feeling almost like a first shot that had some quirky newbie charm to it. The second game was a Biiiiig step up so who knows, maybe this will pave the way for them to fine tune and expand on things.

[@brandonatherton]

I started off having little interest in this game, but as it got closer, I found myself anticipating more an more. It's just a game that stands out. Honestly, it has some amazing and refreshing ideas, and it really reminds me of something like Psychonauts. It's just out there in a lot of ways, it looks good, has quirkiness. But there's so much that just misses too, that it's sad. Combat really needs some refining. It can have amazing moments, but also be a total frustrating, tedious, and boring experience. I think their crafting is spot on though, it seems to have a ton of depth and flexibility, so I love that. Exploration seems pretty good too. But like you said, it needs more to latch on to for those who want that, and a more compelling story. I also feel from what I've seen and looked into, that the character system, while cool on the surface, is just very lackluster. Classes need more. The starting stat choice and effect that has on appearance is negated completely later on, which is both good and bad, but defeats that early choice removing any weight. And skills, leveling, all of that feels so plain, boring, and honestly mostly unnecessary. I feel like the game could have done better without classes, in it's current state. But I really think there needs to be more depth added to every class, or them removed and a lot more depth (and stat requirement) added to skills. I'd love some sort of skill tree, or sphere grid, something that adds more of a need for decision making. Overall, it's got great bones, a great aesthetic, and a lot of uniqueness, but it falls way to short on the things it needed to hit, the things that make it a game and an RPG. I'd say pick it up on sale for like $15-$20, in it's current state, and it's probably worth that.
