It's seemingly impossible for him to create a thread where it isn't about him. Madness.

Anyway as for the game looks like your typical love it or hate it eurojank™ game. I still very much like the look of the game and I'm a bit divided because while Skill Up didn't like it Fextralife did and those are the two I typically look to for games like this.

FightinCowboy was also mixed on this and he's the best RPG/action game let's player/streamer around IMO (seems like he really wanted to like it):




It will be dirt cheap or all over subscription services in no time anyway.

I'll get it at 20$ and by then I'm assuming some bugs will be fixed.

It's a shame considering a lot of people worked hard on it, I expected a lot more. On a personal note, it's one less game to worry about in my backlog.

A lot of people in this thread in HEAVY denial and rationalizing - this isn't a good game. Sorry if you pre-ordered, maybe try to get your money back?

A 70 is firmly in the "This should appeal to fans of the genre." Not every game needs to have a "Universally appealing" score of 90+. It is opinions like this that give us:

"Biomutant is a boring, repetitive and simply anachronistic video game with a lot of problems in the quests and world design departments"

coupled with a score of 6/10.

Wow, didn't expected reviews to be so harsh 😭
Won't stop me to grab it, the game is appealing to me for an unknown reason. Will see.

If everyone says it's mediocre or at least the majority then why play it? Some of us aren't made of money and free time.

Everyone = reviewers or everyone = players? Pick just one.

And don't get me wrong, I have no interess of playing this game because he don't get my attention, but the level of hate this game is getting is embarrassing. He don't need to be a GOTY contender to be played. People need to get out of their bubble and forget Metacritic a little.

BTW, the OP behavior is beyond embarrassing.

As long as performance isn't an issue, then I'm still very interested. None of the complaints I've read or watched are anything I personally care about.

Some people like pineapple on their pizza and others don't. Still looking forward to this.
I love pineapple on my pizza! And Biomutant now sits on my Steam library 😏 Looked too interesting from a design and idea standpoint to skip. I guess the wise choice would’ve been to wait on a sale or Gamepass release, but nah. I had only bought Assassin’s Creed Unity so far this year, dirt cheap, so I thought I could manage a full price purchase for once.

I don't agree. And that's fine. I'm not trying to start a fight. I think there is a fair amount of people who hyped this up because of the dry console season so far. Most reviewers are middling at best on this game. I don't know how players reacting because I don't see anyone talking about that.

People just want to have fun. Thats all. You don't need to make a research about 'why' people get hyped about mix bag games. This happens all the time and you miss a loads of great games just by using Metacritic.

Mario Paper for NS don't get the 'best scores' ,but is a hell of game. I can't see people ignoring a game just because the score is medium. Read a proper review and if they have courage to point if the game have bugs, perfomance issues, story inconsistence. This is the most important.

The hype was there when it was revealed back in 2017. People just really wanted this to be good because of how charming and unique it looked
 
Was hoping this game would score in the mid 70's or low 80's, similar to Immortals Fenyx Rising. That game was a great surprise, hoped Biomutant would be more of that.

I literally never readed someone comparing this one to ratchet, at least in biomutant topics.

The games are pretty different even leaving the budget aside.
I did but mostly for the animal character and weapon creativity, besides that they have nothing in common, it’s a mix of ingredients from all kinds of games really. I just hope they don’t drop it but tries to improve the things people don’t like. There is so much good stuff in there and I haven’t heard of any complaints that seemed unfixable.

i would wait if i were you. reviewers get paid to play games, i wouldnt trust who gets paid to enjoy something.
 
so disappointed by the reviews. i hope this is a case of Days Gone. Game is freaking awesome and critics suck. I'll wait for the real reviews when steam user reviews come out.

Destructoid has a nice and balanced review where the reviewer don’t just focus on the shortcomings but tries to see the positives as well and in the end came away entertained.


”I honestly think that Biomutant's potential isn’t going to be fully realized until a sequel, spiritual or otherwise, but what’s here is perfectly entertaining.

I had a lot of trouble tearing myself away from Biomutant, and a lot of my grievances didn’t really surface until I’d finished it and had time to digest. Before that, I was absorbed in exploring its well-designed world, plumbing ruins, collecting dopey looking mounts, and dressing like I just survived a landfill explosion. There are some unwanted mutations in its genes, but they're covered in fur and easy to overlook.

8/10 - Great”

Biomutant is far far worse game than Inmortals Fenyx Rising.

Fenyx rising is actually a great game.

The biggest negative you gave for Biomutant was unresponsive controls - which for an action game waiting for inputs is a no go if it is the case and destroys any fun.
