BIOMUTANT

I enjoyed this game as the nature documentary about adorable Kung fu mutants it was meant to be. While the soundtrack didn't stand out much on its own, it did well to accompany the exploration of the map and the fights along the way. I'm a bit sad that there was never a boom in mods for this game, as I would have enjoyed seeing some sort of multi-player added to it so I could go exploring with some friends. The character creation process was really interesting when it came to balancing stats and appearance, and luckily there were some spots out on the map that you could use to adjust if you couldn't quite make yourself adorable in your quest to maximize stats. Hopefully we'll see some more games with a character creator like this, as I definitely enjoyed the process. The story wasn't the most in-depth, but it still had more depth than a lot of other open world games I've played, and insured that I at least played long enough to get some way into a new game plus. The crafting system was also crazy, and the option to have multiple loadouts available to swap between at any time meant i was usually enjoying combat. The art style is also great, and I enjoyed playing an open world game that allowed itself to look fun instead of hyper realistic. I hope to someday find games inspired by some of this ones' ideas, though I'll settle for more publishers releasing games with a creative art style.

you tend to get bored really fast in this game , the map is too big and there is too little to do

Always wanted to play a standalone game about my Palico from Monster Hunter.

By the way, if this game didn't had invisible walls, i would be out of bound in first 15 minutes xD

+ Huge world with different picturesque biomes
+ Good visuals
+ Photo mode
+ Mixed combat: Guns, spells, melee
+ Moral choices + karma system
+ Easy achievements (except hunting animals)
+ Complex weapons crafting
+ Minimal and straightforward RPG elements + Gear stats
+ New game+
+ Probably perfect for kids/teens as it has cartoonish style and there's no explicit content

- Copy/pasted content, repetitive dungeons, villages, houses etc.
- Enemies are tough and imbalanced early on
- Story is lighthearted and barely noticeable
- Factions do nothing. They just exist
- Resources are scarce. it's hard to experiment with gear and weapons
- Even if you are high level and have high luck, rewards can be poor
- Many optional quests are mostly courier tasks or require lots of clearing
- Too many dialogues with NPCs. Not interesting to listen to them

A game that talks about damage to the planet while you play the game being a raccoon mutant with a gun and weapons. if that doesn't interest you then the games probably not for you. It can be repetitive, I loved the combat and all the many different styles of armor you find throughout the game. I haven't finished the game but i would already say its a great game! don't let all the negative reviews scare you, its worth it on sale!

Would recommend *if* you get it on sale. Played probably halfway through on ps4 before I got it on pc. A cute vibrant world and characters I definitely would have adored when I was a kid. Though I do agree some parts of the story can fall flat or feel repetitive in regards to the clans. If you do get it I do suggest turning down the narrator frequency, if you want to explore and not get a reminder about the main quest every two minutes. Combat is fun for me.

The game is mediocre,

it has a very repetitive gameplay loop and the narrator is quite annoying. He constantly persist you of what you are doing and what the weather is like or who your fighting but, he just is not funny and takes the feeling of the unknown out of the picture.

The games marketing say that there is so much customization but, you find outfits out in the wild that look absolutly terrible but you need to use it because it has a much higher attack power and stats than any of your cool looking armor. The thing that really drew me away from this game after I bought it was that while exploring there was only one backround song, I know that sounds bad but it feels like nothing is new and even in different areas of the map the song was still, the, same.

The choices that you make in your journey feel like there is no downside or severity so you can really do whatever you want and get the same rewards or close to the same path. Overall this game looked very fun in the marketing but, when it came to the real game it was not even close.

I hope this review helps somebody make their decision if they are going to buy this game and have a good day.

Looooved playing the game through to the end and beyond! the progression and story sucked me in and would not let me go until I felt I did nearly all of the game including the side missions/ content.

easy going. fun to play for relaxing adventure

I pushed myself to finish this game. It's not terrible or anything, but it’s definitely not the best experience. From the start, you’ll feel like something's off, and the longer you play, the stronger that feeling gets. I’d recommend buying it only if it’s heavily discounted to make it more worthwhile.

P.S. The ending is pretty weird.

This is a weird game with clashing styles. I want to like it, but it just doesn't work for me.

good game playing with the rog ally z1

despite the flaws i enjoyed it to the fullest. The Vistas are simply impressive to say the least. You can create a full wallpaper slideshow just from the game. The combat is engaging enough and the good/evil system does its job. The Map is huge. I´d say you got like atleast 100 hours of pure fun.

5/10.
I played the full game, completed most areas, crafted 7-star weapons, and finished most of the sidequests. It was enjoyable enough for the first 5-10 hours, but quickly became both repetitive and annoying. Frequent technical issues with item indicators disappearing, enemies/bosses not spawning, and the absurd choice to have the narrator voice all non-gibberish lines as an interpreter were a big part of the annoyance. While the narrator has a decent voice and reads the lines well, the quality of the writing leaves a LOT to be desired.

The side-quests with multiple objectives (ex: Find X of [insert Old-World object]) only show one at a time, so the player can't streamline the exploration process. If you're required to buy something from a character for a quest, you first have to complete that character's quests, leading to a round robin of the entire game world as you hop to different biomes. Some biomes can't be entered at all without certain resistances or protective gear, which have their own requirements (sometimes quests, but mostly having 100% bio resistance to farm bio points). While it's nice to eventually have 100% resistance to cold, heat, radiation, and bio, you still have to wear gear to avoid hypoxia in the south-western areas, so you're never truly free to choose your own gear, which you may have painstakingly crafted to suit your aesthetic/stat requirements.

While none of the puzzles or QTAs are particularly difficult, there are several puzzles that are actually impossible unless you've upgraded your Intelligence stat high enough to gain more moves (and by that, I mean to nearly 200 points). Resource totems, fast travels flags, and doors will have a pulsing circle to indicate their location, but the ones on flags don't disappear after activation, doors will frequently start flashing again at a certain distance, and the circles on loot and Old-World devices DON'T pulse, which might mean coming back to the same location 6-7 times trying to find that one last thing you missed. Plus, while most "Superb Loot" containers glow with the color of their best loot item, not all Superb Loot containers glow (especially the dig spots, which never do), and plenty of containers glow without being considered Superb Loot.

Perhaps the worst aspect of the game, and what kicked it down from 7/10 to 5/10 and convinced me to uninstall the game after completion, was the obvious, blatant and CONSTANT moralizing. Sure, the game is about a world taken over by mutated animals after human messed it up and went to space instead. Sure, there's some vague moral choices regarding which tribe to choose or whether or not to give additional help after freeing a captive, but none of the moral choices are deep and yet the game keeps throwing in your face how evil corporations and humans are and how thoroughly corrupt your soul is if you side with a "dark" tribe or how pure and virtuous you are if you side with a "light" tribe. If it weren't so in-your-face and consistently interrupting play, i wouldn't have so much trouble with it. The Fallout series does a great job with these concepts, as do The Outer Worlds and other similar games. The concept is fine when handled correctly, but the execution is jarring and off-putting.

Score breakdown:
Graphics: 7/10 - Beautiful, but character models are awkward.
Gameplay: 7/10 - Decent, not amazing. Could do with a few QoL upgrades.
Characters: 6/10 - Vague, boring, and shallow, but not egregiously so.
Plot/Story:2/10 - Sub-standard Hero's Journey full of self-righteous moralizing and overabundant simplification.

it´s fun, little repetive but awesome for family

This game is an underrated gem....best visual art style I've found in a recent game, lots of things to collect create and kill, after they updated the game to allow a higher level cap I play this weekly slow and steady...not sure how this has mixed reviews, I like this game more than elden ring.

Pros

Option to turn narrator off.

Cons

Option to turn narrator off doesn't work.

Game is full of unskippable annoyances, along with being very repetitive. The narrator will not shut up while performing said repetitive actions. Can't go 10 feet without hearing about how far up the sun is, or how this is the beginning of the end!

IT is a hidden Gem, Good RPG, and one of my favorite games

It's a fun, quirky but shallow game which themes the typical Ubisoft 'Go capture all the Outposts' type missions for 80% of it's gameplay. You can craft weapons, but with very little is meaningful difference. There's some skill progression, but not nearly enough for how long they want this game to be. I basically unlocked everything I cared about by time I reached the second zone and was only chasing gear level upgrades. The story is shite. Almost feels offensive from how directly they just copied a basic eastern/Asian master/sifu/chi plot and character progression. The setting is a neat post-apocalyptic regrown world with a lot of charming characters though and the only reason I played as long as I did. By zone 3 though, I couldn't bothered to basically do the exact same thing for another 2-3 hours as I did with the prior two zones. I wanted to like this game so bad because it tried to be different. But then it realize it was so different it just copied tested frameworks from other games leaving a bland flavor for actual gameplay.

You'll get some fun from it when it's on a steep discount. Even at 40$, I still wouldn't recommend it. Also, who sells an individual class for an RPG? I think the Mercenary was originally locked behind preorder, which is wild choice. Now it's DLC. Pretty lame.

I have noticed a lot of times the devs disrespect the player. The game's main objective is to capture different areas; these areas have been reused so many times that you start to notice the same castle, also the weird crafting material and weird UI. This game is unfinished and needs a lot of work since it's rushed.



2/10 Waste of time.

I enjoyed the combat and some of the story in this game. I feel like the developers were trying to put way too many different mechanics and stories into one game and it made me not care about any of the lore or storytelling in the game.
There are better games in this genre but on a big sale it could be a fun weekend game.

pretty good game that's all i got nothing else really

A World Full of Promise, But Stumbles Along the Way

Game Name: BIOMUTANT
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🌙 (6.5/10)

🦁 My Experience
BIOMUTANT presents a beautifully crafted, open-world experience, brimming with unique characters and an engaging post-apocalyptic setting. The game's concept is ambitious, blending action RPG elements with exploration and crafting. While the world and visuals are stunning, I found myself losing motivation after a while, as the game struggles with pacing issues and repetitive tasks. Despite these flaws, I still appreciated the rich world-building and the ability to customize my character and playstyle.

🦋 Gameplay
The gameplay is a mix of exploration, combat, and crafting. The combat system is dynamic, allowing you to switch between melee, ranged, and special abilities, but it can feel chaotic at times, especially with the large number of enemies on-screen. While the customization options and skill tree are well-thought-out, the overall progression can feel a bit tedious, especially in the later stages of the game. The crafting system adds a layer of depth but also contributes to the game's occasional overwhelming complexity.

🐉 Conclusion
BIOMUTANT is an intriguing game with a lot of promise, but it falls short in delivering a fully cohesive experience. The world is impressive, and there’s fun to be had, but repetitive gameplay, lack of proper direction, and inconsistent pacing hurt its overall impact. For players who enjoy open-world exploration and deep customization, it’s worth checking out, but it’s not without its flaws.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🌙 (6.5/10)

It fills the time, but it is nothing noteworthy. wouldn't recommend buying unless you get it in a bundle or something.

its a good game 9 out 10 game does have new game plus but make sure you do ever thing you want before beating the game bc it will push you right in to NG+ you will keep most of your stuff note i beat this game on ps4 i got it again bc it was on sale ps get this game well its on sale and wacth reviews to see if your in to a game like this theres a lot to do you will get lost in this open world lots of loot,side quest and main quest
im 15 hrs in still havent beat the game.

This is Breath of the Wild At Home, it's got the same broad plot structure of 'There are four things you need to conquer to save the world' with a bit of revenge plot and a civil war added to the mixture. Coupled with a kind of obnoxiously large amount of Things To Do™, it's a game that simultaneously has too much going on, but not nearly enough to keep your interest. (I will admit I am halfway through the main storyline with maybe an eighth of Things To Do™ done.

Gameplay: 5/10
The gameplay is okay. That's the best way to describe it without going into how mindless the combat is and how there's not really a lot going on that incentivizes creative crafting or armor/weapon management. You're going to be looting so many containers for so much stuff, but that's going to kind of fall to the side when you realize there are some vaults with some really strong gear, as well as pingdish places with outfits that offer 100% immunity to specific environmental effects. It's a game I feel that dreamed so big, that feature creep set in until there was so much stuff to think about that everything just kind of became an afterthought.
Additionally, the game has a bog-standard morality system of Light vs. Dark. The best way to describe it is Light = Good and Dark = Evil, which for this game stands out as particularly oversimplistic for what it is. A game that did this better with a similar vibe was Jade Empire, with its Open Palm and Closed Fist system. While it was nonetheless still 'good vs. evil', it at least made an attempt at coding the choices as pacifism and aiding others, versus aggression and the pursuit of freedom through struggle. Given that Biomutant also codes Light vs. Dark as 'saving the world' vs. 'letting the world end', it makes the overall message a little more simplistic and heavy-handed than is really needed to be.

Sound Design: 3/10
I'll admit I don't mind the Narrator, while their inclusion slows down the pacing quite a bit since he's translating the gibberish to you, but he's kind of pointless in the grand scheme of things. The soundtrack could be described as simultaneously gorgeous and kind of generic. It's Vaguely Eastern and at times repetitive. I've noticed a handful of cutscenes where the camera changes to a viewpoint of a specific area, and the music changes to match that area, creating jarring moments where you'd think the music would stay static to maintain the mood. What brings this score down heavily is a few times where what sounds like some sort of alarm goes off in specific areas, and there's not enough feedback from the game to know what it is, so I'm left wondering if it's just diegetic to the setting, or if it means anything. If it's the former, it's very disruptive and jarring. If it's the latter, it fails to convey the information it's trying to convey.

Level Design: 8/10
The world is gorgeous, and is a large part of why I've played the game as long as I have. While traversal is kind of hit or miss, there's enough variety in the world design where wandering from place to place is enjoyable on its own merit. The game is very open-world, and there's nothing really stopping you from going literally anywhere within the boundaries of the game. That said, with all of the content present, exploration starts to grow stale as the rewards for exploring start to feel underwhelming, which many places failing to be unique enough to really bother with going to them other than the possibility of loot, or for the sake of completionism.

Creature Design: 10/10
Your beginning stats determine how much of a screwed-up little guy you have, and it works to the game's advantage that so many of the creatures fail to be conventionally cute, while still remaining endearing given the heavily polluted nature of the world. There is a fair amount of enemy variety, even if later on in the game, it feels repetitive. That repetition does also work, because most of the time, you're not fighting unique creatures, but individuals of a predatory species that simply wants to eat you.

Story: 1/10
The game tries to set the scene of you being some great uniter who will save the world from its impending doom, but most of the time, the dialogue feels slow and repetitive. Every major NPC has the same checklist they go through, wherein they comment on your actions, your morality, and questioning your motives, before moving on to their quest. I've been playing a full-light playthrough, and I've reached a point where I've begun skipping dialogue because there's no new information being shared. Everyone has the exact same thing to say until suddenly they don't, but by that point, I can just follow the waypoint to complete the mission. The lack of overall variety despite the game having so many things to do really kills the story for me.
Moreover, the game constantly harps on about how the world is ending, but the world is so lush and beautiful despite the heavy pollution, that I never get the sense that the world is in danger. The game spends so much time telling you, that it neglects to actually show you anything meaningful. This is in spite of the fact that the world is visibly heavily polluted. I look around, and I see a world that is actively healing in spite of four big critters eating the roots of the world tree. If the world looked more sickly, but visibly grew more vibrant as you do things, I would understand the message more. As it is, it's just kind of pointless fluff that fails to underline the message it's telling.

Overall: 4/10
To put it succintly, the game is aggressively mid. It's reasonably competent enough to enjoy, while being dull and boring enough overall that it asserts itself as a game that was created because Breath of the Wild was a smash success. It's an example of what happens when people try to capitalize on the success of another IP without understanding why that IP was successful. It's an incredibly shallow game that lacks any real, tangible depth, and nothing short of an absolute overhaul of the story and the gameplay would make it anything other than incredibly mediocre.

You never run out of quests to do, many weapon combos you can do, endless possibilities for crafting, and memorable characters. overall fun game.

I played over 50+ hours and i can say it is a good game. it got good game mechanics like character creation and story and lore and it is a decent game and better at launch then cyberpunk 2077. i don't know why it received so much hate. they fix most bugs and no game breaking bugs in the game that i know unlike cyberpunk 2077 and i played both games.

I Really wanted to like this but its just not good. There's a lot of good here, and a really interesting world I'd like to return to. But most of the other mechanics ad features are either half baked or just don't work.
Morality, crafting, customization, all feel like an after thought but bombard you from the second you start completely taking you out of the game.
Also no voice acting? The characters garble speech and then immediately the narrator explains what was said despite subtitles. Honestly, removal of the Narrator would make the game better.

I hope a second game comes out that's much more streamlined, but as it is I can not recommend.

This game feels like a project the developers had so many great ideas for, but eventually lost interest and motivation in, causing it to be rushed published without much thought. The weapon crafting feature is fun and interesting, but the combat where you use said weapons is rather boring and repetitive. The "World-Eater" boss fights are sometimes fun. The open world and its scenery is pretty, but running through it becomes boring over time as well. The character designs are always either pretty cool/cute or just ugly.
If you are searching for a fun, action-packed adventure, this may not be the game for you. If you are looking for a silly game to do silly things in, I might recommend picking this one up on sale.

“Daddy, can I be a mutant?”
~The Brothel Creepers

BIOMUTANT is a game that instantly got my attention. I love such stuff. Games about weird creatures. Impossible Creatures, Darkspore... Games, in which you take some living beings and alter them in order to achieve certain effects. And in this game? That creature is you. Long story short, a young team from Stockholm, Sweden decided to take somewhat old idea about biological alterations and bring it into our typical modern open world environment. Doesn't sound like a bad idea, right? Well, in devs' heads that was just the thing. Everything we have here? We already had in other games. One way or another. And the idea was to mix all sorts of good things in order to get even better one. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

You're... Well, mutant. And that's the first part of the game – character creation. No surprise here, of course, but again, you're a mutant and that's supposed to add lots of fun to our usual formula. Like it did to our usual Diablo-like thing in Darkspore. K, our ugly mo... *Ahem!* I mean, brutal war machine is finished. Time to start our adventure. What's next? Well, our next thing is... Gothic. Remember Gothic? That early open world game, in which we were supposed to find ourselves a camp to join? BIOMUTANT does exactly that. In this game we're supposed to choose between two groups in order to eventually win against others. And yes, there are more than two, but we'll return to that later. For now, let's just throw in some other random things. Let's add Horizon-like crafting with the collectible materials placed here and there, let's add Breath of the Wild bosses, let's add something that feels like a mix between our usual “Roach” and corebots from ReCore... Again, neither of that is bad per se. In their respective games, those things worked perfectly fine (well, most of them). The problem is – neither of that feels good in BIOMUTANT.

Let's start with character creation. It's time for us to remember Spore again, but not the one I've already mentioned. Remember the original Spore? And, most importantly, press releases before the actual product came out? Will Wright promised lots of stuff. Again and again he kept saying that Spore is gonna to be, like, Sim Everything. The result, as we all know today, was nothing like that. It was a pretty casual experience, in which all of those cool features that were promised to us, existed mostly for looks, while the actual gameplay was way dumber than in some counterparts. As sad as it is, that's exactly what happened in BIOMUTANT. I mean, big f*cking deal, our default appearance depends on what type of character we choose at the beginning, while in game we'll be able to modify looks GTA style. Somewhere out there, Kenshi is laughing really hard. Yes, there'll be some customizable equipment that'll also change our appearance, but come on. That's not what you expect from a game called BIOMUTANT. If something, I've played some old ARPGs from early 2000s that did a better job with all that. In other words, they've made a game about mutants and... they've screwed up the mutations. NOICE.

OK, OK, doesn't meant that it's a bad game, right? And you know what? After I've joined one of them tribes (serve as some sort of counterparts to what we had in Gothic), I actually got some hopes up. I mean, when you join one of the camps in Gothic, that's just it. Not like you're going to war against others, right? Well, you do in BIOMUTANT. And it's disappointing as F. It goes like this – you go to the quest marker, you do some (very) basic tasks there and / or fight a couple of enemies a-a-and that's it. That's the entire “war” thing. Finish a couple of tasks, then go talk to the enemy leader. And again, you can only choose between two tribes, while others can only be enemies. Why? Thankfully, persuasion is a thing. You can actually avoid battles and do good.

And you know what? Your actions actually matter. Except they don't. BIOMUTANT comes with some basic reputation system and you can be not only good, but also evil. Most of us instantly thought of Mass Effect and technically, that's it, but this game actually goes a bit deeper and imitates another game from that period – a Wii title called Opoona. Like in Opoona, there's that starship we're supposed to use to leave planet and some friends to make. But at this point? Things just starting to fall apart. It becomes obvious that all of those things? They just don't belong together. Opoona was more about the experience. About deep conversations with NPCs you cared about. Here? The game is just full of copy / pasted dialogues (no, seriously). In Mass Effect we had those amazing and unique characters. Here? Those are bloody nobodies and the most interesting dude you'll meet be some random beaver (insert that certain Polish meme here). As the result? You just don't care about how exactly your ending will be.

That's the Experiment 101's biggest mistake – they've expected all of those things to be cool and satisfying just because. And that's not how it works. Take that crafting, for example. In Horizon, things were really thought-through. Those crafting materials were perfectly placed to keep you busy while walking from A to B. Here? You're supposed to waste time and actually look for those. And guess what? The world in this game is, like, five times bigger than needed. Don't get me wrong, BIOMUTANT isn't too huge. It's just... Not everything needs to be big. Take the first Gothic for example. It wasn't a giant game, yet everything there was placed with purpose. Here? You guessed it. Lots of boring walks.

And it's not like we've got some advanced mechanics from modern Zelda to have fun on go, no. The best thing we've got is some vehicles. Which feel a bit like those corebots from ReCore, but honestly, don't expect much. Those are just that – transportation means for certain kinds of terrain. We've got walker robot to walk over oil spills (what is this anyway – Anapa?), we've got a boat (anyone else just thought of that old meme?)... You've got the idea. It's just you, some vehicles and some distance to cover. Sure, there are quick travels, but like I said, this game tries to imitate the Horizon. You'll need to collect crap. Good luck trying not to fall asleep. But maybe, just maybe bosses aren't that bad? Well, you know what? They aren't. But there are only four of them. That's right, four bosses. In a game with 15+ hours of main story alone. Again, it's not Zelda, where you can have fun just by fooling around. Aside from boredom, BIOMUTANT also comes with a cheep aftertaste and feels even more clunky than ReCore.

So... Yeah. That's BIOMUTANT for you. And there's a very important lesson to learn here. You can't make a good dish just by throwing some random tasty things into a pot. That's what kids will do. Bacon's tasty, cereal's tasty, ice cream's tasty... Naturally, if you'll put 'em together, it'll be even more tasty, right? Well, surprise! It'll not! While technically having all sorts of good stuff in it, BIOMUTANT feels like a chore. It'll do better without such a big world, it'll do better without the attempts to make reputation, even Spore Hero did the mutation thing better, etc. Do I hate this game? Not really. Devs tried. I can see that. They've made mistakes. But they tried. Can I recommend this game, though? Nope. If something, I'd say stay away from this. We live in times when every new big project is about open world. Means you can find countless better options. And there's literally no reason to waste time on a failed experiment. Dixi.

I remember playing this, and it feels bad it never got truly finished. Im surprised they just forgot about it after release. what a shame. don't buy.

Got me with the atmosphere, music, and world, combat's fun too.

I really wanted to love this game. The art style and production value seemed like it couldn't miss. I'm disappointed to say this game is soulless. There are too many systems at play and all feel clunky. It is not that they're complicated, they are just uninteresting and add little to the game. The combat is probably the best part of the game, but it still falls short of keeping your interest. The dialogue is insufferable- the characters speak gibberish while a Dr. Susseque narrator blathers on talking to you like a child. I often will finish games in spite of their quality to feel like i've gotten my money's worth. 10$ for 10 hours of game play was overpriced, but i had to call this one.

still a buggy mess

Very basic and a LOT of corners were cut.
Big no.

I honestly did not know what to expect from this game, but after starting playing it I literally couldn't pry myself away. The area's are beautiful, the combat is really good fun and I love the way they approach the narrative.

The story is stupid, the narrator is annoying as hell but worst off the game severely lacks polish. Combat is clunky and disorganized. You can't tell half the time what you're fighting or if you're even hitting everything. The graphics are awful. Stay away. My playtime is not much because I just couldn't do it anymore, this game is that bad. It's like halfway through development they ran out of money and released whatever they had.

one of the nicest games i have ever played, good story, good story and non-story narration, and enjoyable.
really recommend it to anyone looking for a good, relaxing, and joyful game.

This is a game you have to be in the mood for, with a very tongue-and-cheek energy to a lot of the characters and dialogue. I actually ended up returning it the first time, but then repurchasing it months later to give it another chance.

The visual style is beautiful, and I enjoy the default dialogue, as it is presented by the narrator like one of the silly Asian dramas I like to watch, with lots of good voice acting. The plot itself is very environmentally focused, but the characters are often a bit outrageous and usually comedic. It's very silly and lighthearted despite some darker undertones, reminiscent of something like Kung-Fu Panda in the way it handles the conflicts of the story. This isn't the game you want if you were in the mood for an edgy apocalypse game, but if you want something that is easy to laugh at and a colorful world that is fun to explore, I would recommend it.

The combos are important, so combat is easier for me on a controller, but the easy difficulty has been accessible and fun to play. There are a lot of accessibility settings that make life easier, including auto-completing quick-time events, making your run smoother if you need it. Overall, I'm glad I came back to this game, and intend to spend a lot of time with it. The Mercenary DLC is reasonably priced, and quite worth as well, with the Mercenary class extremely fun to play.

Create your rat looking samurai character and then hack and slash your way around the world. There is also a story about a tree of life if you're interested. Help other mutant animals with quests like getting drunk. Overall it is fun so i recommend it.

Game is not in English
I tried to reinstall several times. Nope. What the Heck?
So stupid.

i beat this several times, a decent open-world action RPG game with good weapon and gear customization and decent combat. Really good for any completionist

Seems to crash all the time. Not good so far because of that.

8/10

Bought this in a sale recently and it's been great. It does feel a slightly unfinished game which is a shame but overall the gameplay is fun and pretty simple with the exception of having do some crazy combos to achieve 100% in some areas for where some chests are.

With all of it's flaws, it is a fun game which for the main story can probably be done in 12-20 hours but if you want to explore every inch of the map whilst doing all the achievements, then it has taken me 88 hours :)

Shame there hasn't been any updates or further content but for a bit of stress free fun, give it a whirl.

good

nice
