Biomutant is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by Swedish developer Experiment 101 and published by THQ Nordic. The game will be released on 25 May 2021 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.[1] with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions releasing at a later date.[2]
Biomutant is an action role-playing game set in an open world environment and played from a third-person perspective in which the player takes control of a mammalian warrior in a world filled with mutated animals. Players first customize their character including sex, length, body shape and thickness, fur, fangs, and many other attributes that can be tweaked and all have direct impact on the statistics of the playable character during gameplay. A thicker character is heavier, which makes it slower but on the flip side allows it to deal and resist more damage. The combat system combines melee attacks with long-range shooting. The player collects parts throughout the game and combines these parts to create a weapon. Each part has its own effect on the statistics of the end product. The game features a variety of Affixes, including cryogenic and electrical, which are effective in battles. When a cryogenic part is put onto a weapon, enemies will freeze when hit. The player can combine the power of multiple weapons by switching between different weapons during combat. The protagonist is able to dodge to the left, right, and backward, as well as jump. Besides leveling up the playable character, the player can also use level up points to strengthen their attributes or to unlock new attack combinations. Another way to learn new moves is by interacting with specific characters in each area. Most moves are based on weapons, which can be crafted using the game's weapon crafting system.[3][4]
Throughout the game, players can also change their abilities, looks by mutations and bio-mechanical body parts such as attaching robotic legs, wings and claws which can be used to get various advantages against certain enemies or at certain locations. In order to reach specific areas, the player must change body parts, equip gear that is suited for that area, or obtain specific vehicles, such as an air balloon or jet skis. This way, the player can overcome obstacles introduced by their surroundings, such as the limited oxygen availability in Death Zone: by wearing a gas mask or an oxygen container, the player is able to venture deeper into the area and explore new places that cannot be reached without any precautions, while an even bigger part of the area can be reached by obtaining a mech.[3][5] The game's world can be seamlessly explored by the player on foot, by flying or using an air balloon, jet ski and mech. It also features a dynamic weather system and day-night cycle which affect the gameplay and enemy behavior.
The story is mission-based and mission lines are character-based. Certain characters will provide the player quest lines that are emanating from their area. The more the player interacts with this character, the wider the arc of that specific area becomes.

This is one of the strangest games I've ever played, but it's also laser-focused on giving you fun things to do. One thing I wish I mentioned -- I love how this game doesn't have things like weapon condition. There's no soulless micro-management. Hope you guys enjoyed the review and thanks for watching 💙
how much did they pay you for this ad ?
@@x0xax0x Zero dollars and zero cents. If you get paid to make a video you must disclose that information per FCC guidelines or face a fine. Go to consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=38824 and submit. It’ll be a waste of your time but you also decided to write this comment so I figure you’ll be more than happy to waste more
Bio points are wicked easy to get. There's a ton of them at every nuclear plant. You get one from killing each of the Caterpillar things and there seem to be atleast 9 at each plant, then 3 more from the boss and atleast 3 containers. I've only cleared 2 of the plants and have almost all the mutations. Then its all about maxing resistances.
It would’ve got 10’s if Kojima made it. Reviewers would be talking about it’s hidden meanings and how and philosophical it is 😭
Literally bro I love the commentary on human wastefulness and our affect on nature. When the animals call something like a gun a pew pew it hits different like these poor animals are stuck with the world we left them from the once was😢
you can't compare Biomutant childish story with Kojima's elaborate scripts, whether you like/get them or not (I love both)
Me: *Watches Skill Up review*: "Damn I really thought this game looked good"
Me: *Sees Jayvee notification and video title*: "There might be some hope"
I was surprised by his video too. It's funny because I think we touch on a lot of the same issues, they just didn't bother me nearly as much. For me it's great to hear a different perspective, I hope this helps you too :)
Tbf skill up has become pretty trash the last year or so
SkillUp, the same guy who said Cyberpunk 2077 was good lmao
@@davidmujica4363 yeah I was going to say Skillup also tried to tell us Cyberpunk was basically a masterpiece. I like SkillUp but he can be really off on his judgements sometimes. This is one of those games i'll judge myself.
@@Mr.BlurryEyes No he hasn't you triggered fool.
There’s so much to do in this game. I don’t understand why ppl are complaining so much yet there’s triple A titles with way less content and ppl praise.
You're so right Spicy. There's a ton to do in this game even with the repetitiveness of some side quests and the story missions. And you can even switch up your combat style in many ways to add even more variety.
I recommend everyone to not focus on the main story right away. Get out of the initial first area and just explore the world. Got about 30 hours in so far and barely touched the story
@@jamesgratz4771 it was ok. Could be a bit more fluid and had a few more combos. A lot of it seemed button mashey but it was an alright experience for me
@@kenboyk7419 i might get it now on sale 29 bucks sure its worth that
This game is so, so so much fun! please inform the developers MANY people love their work and see the beautiful craftmanship that is incredibly evident within this game. 10/10. Love it! In fact, I can't wait to jump back in; I have forced myself away from it to show support in the face of the hastely over-critical and inaccurate CZcamsr view(s). Bravo Experiment 101 ^_^
I played two days.
I can't stop.
Fucking love this world.
I got the game on Tuesday and I love it
emil pfp 😍
@@strawhatdac
finally had time to sit down and stew on this a bit. For me, I'll definitely be playing this one and likely dumping hours into it. The issues don't seem that too bad for me, I just want another open world to dive in to. I can only replay Ghost of Tsushima so many times I guess lol.
Thank you for giving this game a fair shake. VG reviewers are so out of touch
Whats a VG reviewer
@@andrewclarkson8645 I guess Video Game reviewer
@@BenDash84 ohhh ok thanks :)
Your summary at the end were my thoughts exactly. I feel like people are afraid of new ideas, but at the same time criticize games that are too cookie cutter or "samey". Thank you for your fair criticisms, but also your positive look on something truly new and different/quirky. This is the type of game that we need. I'm not too terribly far into it, but the ideas and visuals on display are very admirable. Chalk one up for the small developers. This is highly enjoyable. I respect other smaller reviewers opinions, but your positive take is refreshing. Keep up the good work.
Wow thank you so much for the kind words man! Thanks for taking the time to say all of this :) very glad to hear you're enjoying the game too!
Thanks for the review. I gotta say, for a game made by less than 20 people, I'd put it in my list for top 10 games in 2021.
One of my favorite games ever. I'm right around 30 hours, level 36. The game is very repetitive but for me, in a way, its therapeutic. The dialog is awful and I usually skip everything unless it's for the main story. The combat is simple yet engaging, theres always something you can do to mix it up, weapon switching on the fly based on enemy type is really fun. Although when you find a unique weapon like the Pri Murgel then the game gets really easy because you just slaughter enemies. I enjoy easy games unlike a lot of people but I've had to up the difficulty to my liking. The CRAFTING though!! Its really fun to make things but like I said before, the unique ultimate weapons kind of ruin this aspect because they're so powerful so most of the time I'm just adding new addons to those instead of making new ones. But that's easily avoidable if you just dont use the ultimate weapons. All in all the game is really awesome and I see myself playing this at least once a year luke I do FF15 and the Kingdom Hearts games. Definitely a solid 8.5/10
Fantastic review.
The last part was especially spot on.
The game may have borrowed heavily from other games, and seems to have some flaws, but can't deny that it has a charm thats missing from typical Ubisoft bloated open worlds.
I have a feeling that this will be a surprise hit.
Very thorough review, i couldn't get a grip on what this game was based on the trailer. I'm probably going to pick this up when it drops tomorrow
Glad I could help :)
The game has a lot of potential. I hope they have plans for a DLC expansion because I'd love to see the world fleshed out a bit before I dive in.
Isn't this the Just Cause team?
Guarantee there would be a rocket booster backpack just like JC3 to fly around and soak it all in from the air.
It would be foolish not to give the players such a device, looking at how beautiful the world is.
CZcams gods thank you for coming through with this notification 🙏
jayvee gods thank you for clicking 🙏
Great review. Seriously. And thank you for sharing the good in the game with some of the not-so-good (narrator and dialog). I've played more than 60 hours, have a maxed character, and have been loving this game. It's so much fun especially once you get up past about level 20+ because then you will most likely have accumulated some of the really good gear, weapons, and mounts. Another point about this game, there is a lot of room that the developers have to grow the game. Look at some of the other recent release epic fails like Cyberpunk 2077 where the game launched in a state that was nearly unplayable for many of us. I definitely recommend giving Biomutant a chance. And a suggestion is to join a faction, then split away from the story and just explore for a long while. Then return to the story later. After all, the exploration really is where this game shines.
You're welcome man! Glad you found it helpful and good to hear you're enjoying yourself :)
HOLY a fair review wtf. Honestly wondering if these bigger reviews are getting paid by Triple A to go so damn harsh on it lol
I love everything this game has to offer! It is totally 110% UNIQUE! There is NOTHING like it out there! I'm doing light 1st playthrough & dark the 2nd! I may change the dialog options on the second playthrough if it is the same dialog as the light but I don't believe it will be! Great Vid by the way, keep up the great work!
This game doesn't look completely for kids nor completely for adults. Is this made for dads to introduce gamers to their kids? Adult combat with sensibilities for children.
You pretty much nailed it.
I was waiting and waiting for this game and then forgot about it till I went to GameStop to get something for my kid. Picked it up and almost walked out without my kid's gift. Loving it so far.
I'm buying this game today because of your review. I just have a feel that I'm going to love playing this.
Great review, looks like a fun romp and the world looks amazing, will pick this up after I upgrade from my 970.
Everything looks great gameplay wise, I just can’t get over the weirdness of the game. I just hope we do get some great, grounded rpg /adventure open world games this generation
It's very weird for sure. With Horizon 2 hopefully coming this year and Ghost of Tsushima 2 hopefully coming in a few years, I think there'll be plenty of more serious ones :)
That's all wee get us grounded realistic games. We need more Jak and Dakters and Sly Coopers
I adored this game! I really can't understand all the hate. I mean, it's not perfect but it charming and fun
I agree game is great
@Sleepy Post Same. I'm so done with the Assassin's Creed formula. It's so cookie cutter and other open world games seem to just copy paste the same ideas but in a different universe.
Biomutant does take inspiration from other games but it is also doing its own thing. It's such a breath of fresh air.
@Sleepy Post yeah it not like the developers are charging 60 dollars for it right ?
@@avish878 I mean, my view is if I pay full price for a game, I'm supporting that game's future and possible expansions, sequels, etc. And from what I've seen of this game, it looks like something I could easily get obsessed with and not wanna stop playing. Even with all the negative things I'm hearing, we're going to need some kind of dlc or something to flesh this world out.
@@christiangamer3628 am sorry but a dlc is not going to fix the game and how uninteresting it is. DLCs are suppose to be short and paying that sum if money is no justification.
Thanks for making this! I know these videos take an insane amount of work and time, and I really appreciate the level of thought and effort that went into this. I was on the fence about this game, but your review is helping me to inform my decision. I think I'm definitely going to give this one a go at some point!
Jayvee and WAB are the only reviews that say anything positive about this game. I watched fighting cowboy do a Livestream we're he just bashed everything and actually sounded cruel like he wanted to insult the devs. It's not the deepest RPG as far as dialogue and combat but there's a lot to like and doesn't deserve all the hate. I hear it was made by 20 devs too!
I just picked this up in time for the next gen update. I have been wanting to play it since I saw it on launch. It has so much charm and feels so relaxing to play i can't help but love it. I'm not a big RPG guy and I know most will say this is a bad rpg but man have I been enjoying it. For such a small team they managed to create an original game without mtx and other modern day bull crap. I hope they get the chance to make a sequel or expand on this game cause it has so much potential.
22:42 Any green area. There are usually between 10 and 20 bio points given.
I wouldn't mind some form of co-op for this game as well.
Please, make more videos around Biomutant! Would love to see some builds.
Fextralife got you covered, hope jayvee make some too
Oh shit, a fair review that was well thought out.
clearly not, this game is terrible
Your reviews are awesome man!
another great video as always, jayvee.
Great work on this one. I was equally intregued and unsure with this game. Really really good break down and seeing the visuals etc im really leaning towards buying this after watching this 👌
I am loving this game and I had no hype going in. Can't understand all the "meh" review scores.
What would you rate it out of 10?
I understand the "meh" and the people who like it. I also understand the people that don't like it but not those who HATE it and say it's bad, it's like they don't give credit where it's due. I bought this game when I saw a bit of gameplay and thought it looked interesting and without any knowledge of the hype behind it. I know it has many flaws but it has so much going for it to make it likeable, for me at least.
Also that British narrator is the robotic grasshopper that is always on your shoulder haha
"YANK ENEMIES UP FOR AIR COMBOS" NERO!!!!!! noiceeee so looking forward to playing thiss
Damn if only I had cash to spend rn to get this game. It looks right up my alley in games.
was super excited on launch. didnt buy it until actual reviews and videos came out. was a bit dissapointed. picked it up a few days ago and for what it is. its a lot of fun and unique
I hope they take everything they built here and expand on it in another in-universe game but it NEEDS a better story and way to PRESENT said story.
I LOVED this world, story, tribes, and overall this game is (imo) underrated as hell
You sold me on this game! Even with the mixed reviews this game always had my attention. Now I feel confident I'll love it when I buy Biomutant. I like cheesy, fun and beautiful games. This is right up my alley.
Many reviewers point out the good and bad and have you decide for yourself regardless it still comes down to the individual and what works for you
honestly yeah the narration was super distracting i didnt even bother to read a lot the stuff, but some characters are genuinely quirky in their dialogue but especially the morally ambiguous ones. The new patch does help a lot tho
YOU PEE ON FAST TRAVEL POINTS? SOLD!! 😂 Seriously though wtf lol
Do choices matter like life is strange or infamous?
I’d say they matter less than those examples
They matter in the total outcome in the game, some of the dialog choices from NPCs (based on their being more light or dark and what your points are at), and in unlocking the different Psi powers. But your own personal morality might be tested when you have to choose between petting a cute creature or killing it. :)
Good Review Man🤘🏼
One of my 'gripes' with the game is there is no real instruction about the mounts. If you get a pip and choose a mount, you are limited to that mount in your summoning, and it is not a permanent unlock. If you go forward and get another mount, if you want your previous mount, you will have to purchase it or try to find another pip. If you go around to all the forts and buy all the mounts, they're not a collection. Each purchase changes your mount. If you progress through the story and unlock the 'sully' type mount, then you have to go all the way back to the place you got your cool automoton horse and get it. But if you come across an area that needs the tow hook, you have to go back and get that mount again. If you find a mount you like, one of the most efficient (albeit expensive) things to do is remember the fort that houses that mount. Fast travel there whenever you want to change it up. I wish the mount system had more flexibility.
All mounts you get are permanent, you can find a tab on the map that's named "Transport" i believe, there you can change your mount. Most mounts can be found in the wild there are only two mounts that can't be found in the wild that aren't e different color of the earliest mount you are able to get, so if you find pip bushes make sure to pick the berry and you can get most mounts for free.
Great review!
If they got Morgan Freeman to narrate this would have turned the game's metacritic upside down.
8:34 on: Yeah, you can. Speech to 0. You're welcome.
Great review! Bought the game after this video.
Yes here it is!
I'm 35 hours in and only half through game. I'm trying to 100% and explore. Love the game but not for everyone. I love Devil may cry and fable with a more advance fallout style crafting system. Flawed but most fun I've had with game in the past 3 years. Def not the best but love it
Good video as always
Thanks so much!! :)
This is the only Biomutant review that matters.
Is it playable first person is it stuck with just the awful floating camera?
Only the camera you see in this video
I was wondering what you'd say about the narration. It was a game killer for me.
Finally a fair review of this game.
The only NPC that will stick for me is Lupa Luppin
I also had the same problem with the narration. But I found changing the language of the narrator's voice mixed it up a bit and made interactions far more interesting. Even though you have no idea what he's saying, you can read the subtitles and picture a whole different person.
The narrator and story delivery is definitely a knock against it but I’ve been loving it. If the premise interests you, you’ll have a fun time
One thing I've noticed: All the positive reviews say different things while all the negative reviews sound the same(ie the way IGN sounds when they're trouncing a game).
It's almost like the positive views are scraping for things to highlight, while the negatives are something many people agree on and are glaring enough for more overlap.
IGN's review was incredibly fair and pointed out actual issues. I don't see what the problem is. Feels like the cyberpunk scenario where sunk cost fallacy made a bunch of people defend a broken shallow game.
@@unadventurer_ It really does feel like it doesn't it? I can't understand the positive reviews for this game at all. To each their own I suppose.
The game is dope. I think people are comparing to BOTW and The Witcher 3 which needs to stop.. every open world game isn't supposed to be like that. It's a chill game not supposed to be deep and dark. It's light-hearted and easy to get into. Feels like it was made for 90s kids that grew up on Fable, Ratchet and Clank, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon etc...
The exploration and customization are A+ and the combat is pretty fun too once you unlock skills. MANY different types of enemies.
Please just let this game be what it is.. don't forget it was made by a small team and considering what they did.. this is an amazing foundation for a new game franchise. Looking forward to whatever they have in store next for this game. That said.. it's not perfect.. far from.. combat that needs some love..could be better.. no, I don't think it's worth 60, more like a 30 -40 dollar price point. Worth it right now if only you are a fan of exploration and quirky types of games. Dont think BOtW or W3.. think Ratchet and Clank x Fable. Oh yeah we need a option to turn off narrator for good haha
Great review
I'm in my first play and being dark is awesome and I want more.
Great review Im loving Biomutant
Thanks for this. So many people kinda bashing it. It's different enough that I'm enjoying it
Was well worth the wait! Love this game ☺️
Just so people know developers said they will be adding
Hardcore mode possibly with one life
Adding more melee impact (thank God)
Also common issues
Got this game for free for ps5 this month and I’m upset that I’m just now playing it. Honestly was an amazing game
Is the narrator the same guy that’s the sassy computer that talks to Courage the Cowardly Dog?? 😂
Play the game on hard! It's so good!
Good point, Alienshade! Skip Normal or Easy mode altogether as the game will get way to easy the further you get into it. On hard mode, there is more challenge (and even some fights that require a few deaths to really get an idea of how to approach). And they added an extreme mode to the game recently.
Hope the check cleared for this.
"the parrying is really hard"
Me who's been practising my Dark Souls 3 parrying: *Knuckle cracking intensifies*
sparkatron hypicsckromp OP
Preodered was disappointed at first...alot of hype so here it is August 2022 and I see people put 1k hrs in and I'm excited. It is my second character my first was a saboteur and now I'm playing light and as a sentinel on hard and it is so good without hype I mean they hated on a game they didn't play or main storied I'm living so much now it has to grow on you for sure. Just buy it or play it I'm going to!!!
To be honest, It may not be worth $60 to me but this game is super addicting
Base PS4 performance, framerate, pop in etc....???
There is def a no narration option now 😂
solution for the biopoint problem: get the biohazard suit and go kill some morcs
These days reviewers and general population has been spoiled by triple A experiences that they almost always expect the same level each time. They need to lower their standards. Double A and indie devs deserve more love and respect. They really dont get that much. I plan on supporting the devs of this game and will be ordering my copy off amazon later today. Ive been watching alot of people react and review this game with only a small portion of people saying to give this game a chance. Id rather listen to them over ign or some other overrated reviewers opinion. Im gonna give it a shot myself. Im my own critic.
this seems... interesting... to say the least. But honestly I think if I got it I'd kinda like it.
This is really weird. The reviewers from video game and magazines are giving it top notch scores, but the players are saying that this game sucks and not to buy it.
I think it is the opposite
@@GonzalezJio Not from my viewpoint anyways. I was about to head to GameStop on two separate days on two separate occasions to buy this game, but felt like I was talked out of it by the reviews that I watched right before I went there.
@@jeffreylieberman1668 then how are the reviewers giving it top notch scores?
I love this game!!
This isn't a game for adults, in a sense. It's sort of a kids game. A GOOD kids game. Something infinitely rare these days, coming from an AA-dev.
It kinda reminds me of Knack, tbh, but you know... Good. It's a game I'd give my kids to play.
I wasn't really expecting to like this game. I dont usually dig the cartoonish art style. I much prefer realism. That being said, ive no lifed this game since the 1st day. Its one of the most fun open worlds I've ever experienced. The combat actually got really good once I leveled up and purchased all the skills.
It's way better than Resident evil village
I want it so bad.
Enjoyment and taste are subjective. The only thing that is a universal to ALL games is.... can you tell that effort and passion went into it. Cyberpunk was effort and passion. You can tell it was made by gamers. you can tell in the detail. Was it a disaterous buggy mess? Yes. That's what happens when passionate devs get overwritten by money and corporate interests. CDPR really messed up. The only things you should be asking is, do I feel like I got value for money? and was it fun? Buying any game on release is a risky proposition these days and pre ordering is just pure lunacy. I Waited for this to go on sale because I wasn't sure if it was for me. I payed £17 and I feel like I got value for money. Do I feel like its worth AAA money? No, not for me atleast. Which is why I waited. It seems to be an accepted these days trend to release broken games at full price and then fix it over time with patches..... Division, no man's sky, cyberpunk
Why haven't i heard of this game
Idk... and I have to ask if you’ve been living in a cave for the last like 5 years 😂
@@alextownley9388 well the game went silent for 3 years...
The first couple hours of this game are some of the worst I've ever experienced in an RPG. This game gives a terrible first impression. If you can stomach the first little bit, the game opens up and reveals what it wanted to do all along and kinda redeems itself
11:34 Literally set 'Speech' to 0.
I love this game and I cannot put it down .
Of course it's hard to review it takes from so many different games that it can alienate people the same way it captivates them being a collage of different games means you'll have a lot to love and perhaps a lot to hate it therefore makes sense why the reviews are all over the place fallout players might not like the devil may cry combat devil may cry players may find the fallout looting tedious the best way to enjoy this game is to enjoy all the games it's made of if you like them all this is a dream game if you don't like a lot of the pieces you might think it's just wastefull which much like the actual game is kinda unique as far as reviews go
I like it too.
I would have liked more to do in this open world - NOT 'busy-work' - just a world that was more lived in, I guess. Otherwise, I love the Narrator's role in the game, a beautiful game overall. Plus combat and fighting could have tightened up and not be so floaty with more feedback hit registering going on. I really like how you highlighted the things you do get to do - a real positive indeed.
This game is way better than 6/10 as it have got on Metacritic etc. It's at least a 7/10
I just turned off the narrator by sliding the speech slider to 0 in the audio settings. I much prefer just the gibberish and reading text. Living the game otherwise. Combat is not my favorite, but I just get immersed in the world and want to wander.
