Well, things are complicated further by six tribes fighting over the land three want to heal the Tree of Life and three want to expand their territory, using the chaos to seize power. Your role is to go after these creatures, destroying each in turn to save the tree and allow it to heal. The tree though is split into different roots, which come under threat from five different creatures who begin slowing gnawing at them. Here, themes around global warming and climate change seep into the story, and it works pretty well to give this some depth. The main plot revolves around the Tree Of Life which is struck by a natural disaster and becomes polluted by poisonous oil beneath the soil. If you stick with it though, the game does open up a bit and it’s here where Biomutant is at its strongest. The story is pretty barebones in truth and the opening few hours are particularly rough. (Hello, Valhalla.)īiomutant has a lot of moving parts here – some that work better than others.
Don’t me wrong though, it’s still too big for this game, with large stretches of roaming through empty wilderness or rolling hills, but it’s at least aesthetically pleasing and a shorter distance than the many mile treks seen in other games. In an age of 100+ hour Persona games and bloated Assassin Creed titles, it’s somewhat refreshing to find an open world like this that strips everything back for a smaller scale. The world is also pretty barren – despite its biodiversity – and there are some mechanical issues that are hard to look past. However, the gameplay is undoubtedly moreish, although don’t expect to spend more than 20 hours with this one. Developed by Swedish team Experiment 101, Biomutant is a fun, open-world romp that suffers from a repetitive mission structure, an annoying narrator and a story that doesn’t quite hit as well as it could. In fact, the first cinematic reveal was way back at E3 in 2017. It feels like a lifetime ago when Biomutant was announced.
