In this Biomutant Review - "is it worth it?" we’ll be taking a look at the new open-world Action RPG developed by Experiment 101 and published by THQ Nordic. We have over 60 hours of gameplay into the game, have build guides ready to go, and tips and tricks queued up on the playlist. This is a game we’ve been following for a number of years, first seeing it back at Gamescom in 2019, and we’ve been excited nearly all of that time. So what do we think of Biomutant?

Final Thoughts
Biomutant is a game that at first glance, seems like a game of the year contender. It has a unique art style, a beautiful world, tons of character customization, and flashy combat which handles very smoothly. However, things like excessive use of copy/paste, almost no decisions that matter, lots of bugs, and Abilities and Perks that are meaningless in the face of zero challenge combat really hold Biomutant back from being what many hoped it would be.

Experiment 101 is punching above its weight for a game developed by a small studio of just over 20 people, but unfortunately is asking the same price (59.99 USD) as nearly every other game in the industry, triple-A titles included. By doing this, it has opened itself up to direct comparisons to these games, games that are far better in many respects.

For all the failures Biomutant has though, it has equally as many successes, and I absolutely loved that it did something new and creative. Experiment 101 is definitely on to something, and I’d love to see what they can come up with given a larger team and budget, because there is a lot of potential in Biomutant, even if a lot of it never shined the way it was meant to.

Summary:
Biomutant is an original and creative new IP with great ideas made with love but on a budget. Charming as it might be, lackluster RPG options, repetitive combat, and by-the-numbers gameplay pair up with small but tedious bugs that detract from the overall experience. A game that will shine for kids or teens, unfortunately, falls short of its price tag for adults, who may want to wait for a sale.
