Biomutant - Review After 100%

[@buddykaiser2380]

Instead of taking points away from other stats to boost others I found a little sweet spot on the wheel that gives you a few extra points in any two stats without taking any from any of the others. You can skip through the gibberish parts if you're careful to move the conversation along faster. I'm really enjoying the game. Once they fix a few things and enhance a few things I think this game will be that much better. I really hope they get to make a sequel because I can only imagine what more they could do with a bigger budget and more devs. I mean this game is amazing especially considering how many people worked on it. It has a few problems, true, but for me it hasn't been a lot. They could and hopefully will add a few more combos in to give it a little more depth.

You finished the game in 30 hours? Man my side quest list is still huge, only beat one world eater so far and already played 50 hours:) i think 60 bucks is completely fine as you can play this forever or rush through the main story. I really love the game and cant stop playing. So many great ideas, so much loot, crafting and so much Stuff to explore. Plus the mounts are awesome. Animals, a mech robot, a boat and a flying thing.. many cool skills, magic etc. One of the best games i played in the last couple of years. Just to show what i mean: i played uncharted 4, the last of us remastered, days gone and now biomutant and i have just as much fun if not more with it:) P.s yes tutorial was too long but some games need a little longer to get great. Elex was one of these as well:)

[@iamgamer5879]

[@DNFHistory]

The game is budget priced here in Canada (costs $44 USD here when you do the exchange). So I was pleased with it based on the budget price and the amazing zen gameplay.

[@devinmounce1838]

This game, more than anything, has prime potential to have an excellent sequel. Instead of having the narrator, they could add an item or automaton upgrade that translates the NPC’s in their own voice. Also they need a ledge grab mechanic, it’s not super necessary, but it would help a lot. Those were really my main two complaints about the game.

[@squelchotron8259]

I think having multiple narrators you can switch between would be cool.

[@devinmounce1838]

@@squelchotron8259 they already have the female light side voice even just alternating between the two. Talking to a male NPC the dude talks and talking to a female and the female voice plays. I know that doesn’t fit current gender roles, but it will help make the point. Plus these are animals in the end of the world, they probably only care about multiplying and surviving so I doubt they have stuff like that! That’s just me trying to rationalize my point in a pretty shitty way. Lmao

[@ameanasaur]

This game is really fun just for the sake of being fun to play. The story is barebones but the environment is so fun traversing and the freedom of movement and the solid combat mechanics make this so much fun to play. The crafting system is alot of fun to tool around with and I found myself trying tons of different builds. Admittedly some of the mechanics are a bit shallow but not unwelcome. I'm hoping there is a sequel, there is too much done right to ignore.

[@thevenerablezhin4489]

Just finished watching the review. I have to say, this is my first video of your that I'm watching and I appreciate not only that you 100%d the game, but also have this laid back approach. Thanks for not copying and pasting the other review formats too, I don't really care about "sound" and the soundtrack all that much, they do what they're supposed to do. Anyway, the review pretty much sums up my thoughts about the game. I sunk 20 hours in and personally, I don't think I'm willing to complete it and enter NG+. Shops are heavily underutilized, currency is meaningless from the mid-point towards the end, and as I continue on, it's the same game experience, whether fighting or looting.

[@omfgloot302]

Over 72 hours and loved it. Some minor gripes but nothing that can't be patched easily. Everything everyone's complaining about can easily be fixed and actually improved. The game itself is wonderful, and they have a lot to build off of to make something incredibly memorable.

[@thomashewitt8104]

Couldn’t agree more, this game feels so unique, it’s rough around the edges but can definitely be polished up over time. And I do think it does some things better than any other game I’ve ever played, like the sheer amount of visual variety and satisfaction in the crafting system. I really enjoyed the narrator too, particularly the little quips he has during exploration, it makes the game feel so unique

[@kbkoolin7505]

You can tell some of the reviewers didn’t even play past the prologue. One guy was talking about how the game isn’t vertical, but I have been “skyriming” up rocks and hills like it’s nothing. In the start of the game it was linear and it lead you in a specific direction, but after that you could go anywhere. I have basically unlocked the whole map and I haven’t even beat the first world eater. I didn’t even get the engine upgrade till I was level 16. I found the level 3 before I found the level 2.

[@101qberty]

I kept losing a lot till I started playing serious. Most of the time i was laughing out loud, this game is hillarious! Like when you cast Ice magic on the floor, they looked so funny sliding all over the place. Or when you cast your mushrooms they bounce all over the place. I played lots of RPGs in my time,none made me laugh like this one. I love it :)

[@weihoozie]

I pretty much agree on everything you said, especially about the price point. The game is gorgeous and I love the enemy design, especially the Worldeaters. There are even huge lizards who wear pajamas for some reason. The lack of voice acting is really bad, though. It made me not care about the dialog at all and I skipped 90% of it. The side characters seem nicely designed but they have no personality because they aren't animated or voiced. This game kinda reminds me of Assassin's Creed: Valhalla to be honest. It's a pretty big open world to run around in, and there aren't much to do apart from certain side quests which are fun. The combat gets tiring after a while and the taking of outposts felt like doing raids in AC, where it was the same thing for each one. The crazy thing is that AC: Valhalla is also a $60 dollar game and it has fully voiced characters, animated cutscenes and so much more. Overall I think Biomutant is more fun, but for $60 it's hard to justify that.

[@SirCowpoke]

The main story doesn't take to long to complete but the replay value I haven't checked out just yet. Interested to check out for different endings.

[@7dayspking]

Apparently there's 2 endings and in my opinion that isn't really replay value. Going through basically exactly the same experience again just to see a different ending isn't for me a reason to replay. The game has to give me reasons to want to continue playing. Because there's still a lot of the game I didn't experience, there's other ways to play I haven't tried yet, There's a LOT of outcomes I haven't seen (not just 1 ending) because the game's open enough for me to roleplay different characters or because it's just that fun.

Cause it is a very cool world. Add things like: - fleshed out towns/cities - More unique characters - Survival elements like food and drinks - Allow us to buy or make a home (can collect things and be little goblin raccoons) - Less Ubisoft openworld filler and more fleshed out quest etc I feel like there's enough in the game for a solid foundation. Hope the IP isn't shelved

[@TjPhysicist]

Great review. I saw a channel i follow play through this game briefly and i LOVE open world games so I bought it, as it was on sale. I would mention on other thing though: The one issue for me is the randomness of some of the objectives. I have never played a game that required more googling before. Most games i've played i've had to google "how do you solve this puzzle" at least once or twice, some games more than that (early AC games with their physics and acrobat puzzles were especially bad) but this one takes the cake. There's the puzzles, most of which aren't too bad, then there's the "point and click adventure" type stuff which is common enough in these games but this one is especially bad in terms of how unrelated stuff is. It really does take me back to those old games - you'd have a locked door, which needs a key, but they key to find it would actually be a quest halfway across the map. Lastly, there's the "area objectives", sure i don't HAVE to do them all but there's NO help whatsoever, this is the worst one for me. Every single area i've gone to i've missed at least 25% of the objectives because it's in a random spot somewhere, or i missed that one small spot i could use to climb up somewhere etc.

Of all the things that have been talked about in this game, the fact that you can skip half of the clan wars is just...idk unacceptable. It's a blatant admission that the gameplay loop is subpar. I understand it's a small team and this isn't a AAA game. However, the fact remains that if you are giving your players an option to not play your game then something needed to be changed.

[@FrostiKing]

Honestly I think skipping the clan wars is acceptable for new game plus.... for the first time around absolutely not. Plus it doesn't warn people very well that you lock out clan weapons if you do it. Also I am more upset that the clan swapping mechanic isn't fleshed out well so, switching is a chore.

@@AcornSmokes420 apples and oranges. The point of fast traveling is to reduce the time player spends backtracking through already completed content. This game gives you the option to skip content you have not yet completed. Imagine in breath of the wild that you completed two of the divine beasts and the game came with a pop up saying "ohh you released two of the divine beasts, would like to just skip the other two and go straight to Ganon?" If you personally would like shorter games, then by all means its your decision. But from a game designer perspective it is counter-intuative to have a mechanic in place to skip over uncompleted content. It screams "this is boring and we know our players won't want to play it." Which then begs the question, why even put it in the game in the first place? Why not just have two 4 clans controlling the map instead of 8? Why not make the map smaller to only contain those first 4?

[@darth_dan8886]

Alright, so I've not 100%-d the game (yet), but I've got to note a couple of things. But before even all that, a very quick note. The game is very console-y. It feels, it _really_ feels that it was made for a controller. There is target locking in melee, making it feel rather awkward at times, auto-aim when pointing your ranged weapon at an enemy, and, out of 20+ different abilities you can unlock, you can only equip and use a set of 4 at a time, which is obviously extremely few. Now, to the point. Firstly, the tribes. While the tutorial does indeed railroad you into joining one of the tribes (I've tried refusing one, it autojoined me with the other), you don't have to stick with that for the entire game. You can in fact go and join any other tribe out there, and as a result have to fight your former tribe first in the war. Second, the crafting. While the armour crafting does feel weird and awkward (you just stick random parts on your armour piece, put valves all over your helmet and metal plates on top of the metal plates on your shoulder pads), it is very useful. Because not only does it allow you to easily gain 100% resistance to all 5 hazards by mixing and matching some armours (and perhaps investing a miniscule amount of points into inherent resistances), but also at the same time affect things like your HP pool, your Ki regen speed (Ki is both stamina and mana here, so pretty important), your crit chance and even your loot chance. Third thing I want to note is the alignment system. While, depending on your points, you can be classified as "light", "dark", "somewhat light", "somewhat dark" or even "balanced", the game really wants you to play either light or dark. The "somewhat" alignments are treated as fluff, most of the dialogue will be same as for someone with full light or dark alignment respectively. Balance, though, is the biggest letdown. Not only does getting even ONE point instantly tip it over even if you have 50+ in both light and dark, but a lot of dialogues and interactions (e.g. Psionic altars) treat it as if it was light. Only random Pilgrim dialogue appreciates your balance occasionally, and, well, many characters would prefer you to be light or dark in its extreme instead. If this game taught me anything, it is that whatever you do, there are people who's gonna hate you for it. Be you light, dark, or anything in between. So you need to climb a tall tower and find the one person who will appreciate you no matter what path you took.

Thats just because games have gotten allot more tainted by multiplayer and people are just... steered towards more of what’s new and more complex versus what’s straight to the point, I get it. I like this game for exploration and simple nature, it’s not trying to nickel and dime you,it tells a story similar to our own society and how we function consuming more and more until there is nothing left, we brought our own destruction and life adaptation took place. This brought a new generation more conscious of what took place before them. How can we not support self conscious games and support more of the “breaking down off” or the “Hey this is more popular by public opinion” thing. It’s that same ole sheep baaaaaaa and follow the others into a den of wolfs for slaughter. Think before you comment. Think before you judge. It’s not just a game,it’s an 💡 idea that makes a ripple in the ocean of content given to us making us question what’s really going on.

I was born in 1975 This game just looks like another over hyped open world game that brings nothing new to the table.

[@Mr.BlurryEyes]

Great review got a new sub! Honestly this is the most fun i had have in a game in so long and now with the big update with combat new game + ext

[@Kittsuera]

This game has a photo mode and as such, a game play feature can be setting up photos.

[@matthew1106]

Dude high quality reviews like this are really appreciated. Keep it up. Subscribed!

[@timbusbee1483]

This game is one that needs a sequel. Had some cool designs that needed public feedback to focus on and flesh them out.

[@brendenalexander6178]

I've been playing this game for a week. It literally has that Jak and Daxter and FarCry 3 type vibe to it. But it's wacky at the same time. And totally agree on the price. $60 isn't worth it cause it doesn't have online multi-player option. But I was lucky enough to snag it on the Xbox store for $40 cause it had a 33% discount on it for a week. Totally worth the steal! The map look small at first, but damn! It's fucking huge! Which that's great cause I can explore the world more. And the achievements, or trophies for PSPlayers, is a little more challenging to get and do, which that's not bad. I like challenges for the achievements, little slow progress, but totally worth the award. Other then that, so ready to beat this game fully 100%! Hopefully this game would be my third one to complete with all achievements.

[@JUStCALLMEZIMM]

I beat it also in around 30 hours and went with two handed, auto rifle so kinda easy. But I won't play new game+ because I already maxed out those class trees. In NG+ is kinda ass, gota get all your stuff for the googlide and mekoton or whatever.. loose all the fast travel and have to un-fog the the map and redo every mission . And biggest thing that pisses me off is NO WEAPON for defeating the world eaters no special suit or anything! Same for NG+ . BUT if I was going too restart I'd go psi freek, evil, dual wielding. Because reminds me of a sith or something.

[@Chumpy819]

It's awesome to see a review of someone that actually finished it. Even if it came to a relatively similar, although nicer, review.

[@gameghost7837]

I definitely disagree with this review. I found most of the quests to be uninteresting. I found the combat to be flashy, but unresponsive. The rough animations, jump cuts, and lack of good dialogue don't equate to a good experience. It's also $60, and it was a conscious decision to make it so. When you've played other games such as Breath of the Wild, The Witcher 3, Devil May Cry, Ratchet and Clank, games that they've compared Biomutant to, it doesn't hold water. The boss fights had jump cuts and terrible animations. Hitboxes were all over the place. I loved the idea of this game, and I think a development team of more than 20 people should be doing it, but this isn't a good game. Not when we have polished games already that do the same mechanics, but better. The narrator makes every conversation the same, and while exploring and crafting can be fun, it doesn't help that the main combat just feels underbaked and lacking polish. Valheim was $20, not $60. If you want me to treat it as an indie game, don't advertise it as a grand, open world, Breath of the Wild experience. I really wanted this game to be good, but it's biggest flaw was that it was already out of scope before the developers started making the game, especially for only 20 people. The work that they've put in is incredible, for sure, but if you don't have the resources to make a huge open-world RPG, don't just keep making one because it sounds cool. This game could've been a lot more in the right hands, but it's unfortunately just an unpolished mess.

[@SuperKratosgamer]

I agree with you.

[@xxbioklismxx1850]

It's fun to a point. Great atmosphere but repetitive. The puzzles are kindergarten level. Even on it's hard setting it's comically easy. Most side missions are open a door grab item return to mission giver. Not to say i dont like it but its flawed. Hope they do a sequel for a more adult audiance in the sense of harder difficulty and missions. Deeper combat, tho, it's good framework.

[@saintsaber8491]

You can turn off the narrator in audio options under speech, but it also turns off the dark and light fairies but thats no biggy. And as for the several hours before you can explore properly is a bit out, when you leave the bunker just do the first mission to join a tribe and take over the first outpost then after that you're free, less than 2 hours for me.

[@Kirkmichals]

Subscribed. The review after 100% is a great concept 👍

[@ThatOneWater]

are the bugs fixed now (the major ones)?

[@hobbes1232]

I'll try the platinum for this game, this video has convinced me

[@leonefurlan137]

Reminds me of Ratchet & Clank...

[@nigl2807]

Thank you for a very solid detailed review :). Awesome!!!

[@Kozu_the_Tiger]

I wish that they added combos for the special powers and super wung Fu as well and added dual wield crush weapons

[@shadowsinsomniacs9943]

Small dev team and relatively small budget kinda meant they were limited. I don't expect to see any DLC, or any future Biomutant game as I don't believe this sold very well (hope I'm wrong). I think they should have sold the game at a lower RRP to entice people in, plus it really is a lower budget game...

[@abraxis59]

Great review! I have played myself and 100% agree with everything you said.

[@joshuadecker580]

Hey Morti, hope you're well! Awesome vid and looks like it's blown up for ya! I loved your DOS2 story vids from a while back and this was dope, officially subbed :)

[@dage2079]

I've watched a bit your reviews and gave you all like the games you play cause I play majority the ones you 100% on Xbox though.. Anyways wanted to comment since I usually don't and say gg man I apperiate your review over ign GameSpot bolt etc...they play 20 hrs take Info from there subordinates and complie a spew review for all games.... I like honest and true reviews.. I rock with you bro, you should do half/50% experiences, not a review just your thoughts that far cause even that be more time than majority reviewers

[@britesterling4731]

Great job and your welcome I’m enjoying the game very much

[@garthd1627]

"First negative: tutorial, Jesus Christ what a bad intro to this game" That line spoke to me so much haha. I was so excited to play this game, looked interesting right from the reveal. I got it, put it in, and didn't get through the tutorial. I think I made it a few hours to your old town or something for a long flashback and that was the last straw. I was so damn bored. Shut it off, never played it again. I wish I'd known it got better after that section at the time because wow...just wow, the beginning is terrible. Thankfully I borrowed it from the city library so I didn't have to pay for it.

[@andygeary3531]

Have you guys heard done a review of warpips? If not can you do one?

[@darkshadowlord]

I'm surprised you didn't go into the combat balance, it seems like they put a lot into the melee systems but everyone is saying "just go guns". I haven't heard a peep about the spells, you also barely mentioned them. Did you have any more thoughts on this?

[@MortismalGaming]

I liked them, you can only use up to 4 of any combination of any of the powers though, so again it's really easy to find something you like and stick too it, but there's a good mix there. I was playing a psi freak and used the psi powers a lot actually. Melee is good for damage but you get knocked down etc a lot, ranged does okay damage but it's usually more because you don't wind up getting knocked down as much

[@darkshadowlord]

@@MortismalGaming Thanks for the follow up :)

[@davidmurray3542]

I find it worthwhile to do a bit of both for versatility and to execute combos to trigger super wung-fu. Melee should be able to outclass ranged for pure damage because it scales with strength but I didn't find it underpowered with fairly average stats.

[@HowBigistheMap]

I like the game but the map is pretty small. It takes 26 minutes to run across the entire map from side to side.

[@MortismalGaming]

There's a lot of underground stuff as well to be fair

[@HowBigistheMap]

@@MortismalGaming Ok, I didn't know that yet. Thanks!

[@sweetchilliheat4559]

it looks like a more serious version of jak and daxter with a mix of ratchet and clank. But from what i heard im avoiding this game

[@drakewilliams6069]

Great review! Keep up the good work!

[@buddykaiser2380]

I know you shouldn't have to but if you just reload if you're having any bugs or glitches it usually fixes anything.

[@MortismalGaming]

In most cases yes, which is why I just mentioned the side quests that just permanently broken no matter what I did

[@lowenmurray6747]

Haven't played the game yet, but it sounds like its taken some dialogue techniques and story branching methods from the Fable series?

[@scottarrowsmith3649]

Thanks dude. Amazing review, made me purchase it!

[@AsbestosMuffins]

the ending was pretty rushed but the experience of going around just exploring is pretty great

[@Calgula]

Do you have to do a second playthrough to get 100%? Im stuck at 92% and dont know what else i can do

[@BrendanoftheDE]

It literally came out a week ago, there are people still defending cyberpunk but people have an issue with this? I watched the whole video and there are some points I agree with, but a lot of this issues are very minor and I reckon they’ll sort them with the first wave of patches of not the first one, but the game itself is solid I don’t regret spending a penny on it

[@smokedobbs6121]

does anyone here remember the classic game Fur Fighters that came out on the SEGA Dreamcast? I get those vibes just a little

[@dustinh9509]

I had such high hopes for this game. I waited for years for it. I followed the production, after I got it I really enjoyed my time in it, for awhile. After about a week of playing I felt bored with it and I’ve never felt the impulse to go back to it, I wish it was more.
