First announced back in 2017 during Gamescom, open world title Biomutant from indie studio Experiment 101 is finally available today! For the occasion, a launch trailer was released:

​

Players can look forward to unleashing these powers against surprise attacks from some of the most outlandish enemies ever confronted. Biomutant's lush and vibrant gamescape, spanning everything from snowy tundras to rocky deserts, serves as the backdrop to an epic fable of one creature's journey to save his broken world.

Biomutant is now available on PC (GOG, Steam, EGS), PS4 and Xbox One for $59.99 / €59.99 / £54.99.

Reviews have already been published for the game, and the average score is at 68 on OpenCritic and 67 on MetaCritic. But be sure to keep an eye out for our own official review coming up later!

Unfortunate that it isn’t available on game pass or anything

Shame it turned out so bad, looked really neat.
Definitely a bargain bin buy I'll pick up in a couple months.

Seems cool ... still keep in mind quite a small studio. So dont expect AAA but if you can look through that ... it is not a bad game.

small studios aren't capable of ridiculously high rated blockbuster games?

Ok I see how you could read that from my earlier comment. But not exactly what I was meaning to say. People tend to forget this is done by a relative small studio. The scope they went for is really admirable but I personally feel they delivered what I would call an AA title. Nothing bad in any sense though. But simply they did not have the time / the means to flesh out the world to make it truly be of AAA quality.

I hope the games does well and they do get to go for that real AAA spectrum later on.

@PatrickD85 Just wondering if you could please use a higher quality image for your avatar. The compression artifacts are blinding from 8 feet away. lol.

Bit off-topic but see what you mean; Weird really as the original I used in the past here seemed ok; https://gbatemp.net/data/avatars/l/309/309032.jpg?1552124593 but it seems to be using a medium variant in the sidebar in;
https://gbatemp.net/data/avatars/m/309/309032.jpg?1552124593 which then gets upscaled.
Not sure why.

I'll see if I can get that fixed, thanks for noting!

Edit; Tried using a somewhat bigger version.
But well the result is still only ok now.

I was just teasing. You didn't really need to go through that work. Haha.

Hahaha nah when a point is fair, a point is fair my kind sir!

This game is cringe as hell. Would be good for kids without few minor things that makes this game PEGI 12.

 

[Bladexdsl]

good thing i never paid money for it

 

[wartutor]

I don't know why people talk bad about this game. It looks like an awesome ass open world game just heard it don't have all the dumb ass "fetch quest" fillers most boring open worlds have now days that make simple people think they have accomplished something or got something more than they really did by adding meaningless hours to a good story line. (I am in no way talking about this games story line as I have yet to play it but have ordered it.)

I sadly pre-ordered the game and burned myself.
Combat is pretty bad. LOOKS nice and flashy, but pretty boring to play. Lock-on is automatic and not always on point.
Narrator is annoying as hell and the script is cringe for my taste.
The world is beautiful, even though the graphics are pretty dated. BUT the world is also super empty.
I bought it for 25 euros and I still feel it should cost less.

 

[Youkai]

yeah it completely destroys the immersion of "this character is me" when noone does actually talk and only makes weird noises only to have some weird narrator tell you what they are talking about.
This makes you feel like some sidekick following the Hero and beeing to stupid to understand whats going on needing a translation.

This is the main reason why I didn't buy it as it really does look nice and I don't mind if the fighting gets boring after a while as this is rather normal in most games

Heard divisive things on this game. May skip it.
