There’s an extensive character creator, which I’ll cover in a moment. You start Biomutant like Fallout 3 in Bunker 101, a sort of extended tutorial, learning the ropes of combat and stats, upgrades and items, while simultaneously being narrated the premise of the game. It’s encoded into every strand of the game’s DNA, from mutations in character creation, to the narrative, to the world, to the constant upcycling. The Ori-esque quest to restore a broken world and heal the tree of life. The entire premise, the post-post-apocalypse world, the backstory of toxic spills mutating the natural world, and nature overthrowing humanity. It’s very ecologically minded as a game, something that appeals to me massively. At the end of each root is one of the game’s four main bosses, the World Eaters, all named Jumbo Puff or Candi Puff, just to make them seem extra scary. This tree of life began to die when the ‘end of days’ began, and monsters arrived. There’s a tree of life at the centre of the world map with four huge tentacle-like roots that splay out from it to the four corners of Biomutant’s world. That sense of a world far beyond anything human, and yet still reeling from the utter mess we made of it, is poignant but also bludgeoned home like a scrap-crafted hammer to the cranium. Humans left such a blight on the world, so much poison, toxic muck and shit, that mutations are common, and rodents have sprung up to fill the evolutionary gap left by their primate cousins. Think of Horizon Zero Dawn’s post-post-apocalypse, but if the humans really did die out and the remaining rodents and mammals evolved for a few tens of thousands of years. The world has moved on from the time when humans lived. So does Biomutant have what it takes to stand beside Horizon as a must-play post-apocalyptic RPG, or has it mutated into something completely different? We take a look deep into its DNA. It’s up to you, one lowly mammal (with some mean kung fu skills) to save the world. World Eaters threaten this new ecosystem, attacking and feeding off the Life Tree’s roots, and threatening its fragile future. Now the creatures are sentient, creating their own tribes, their own politics and wars, and also coming to grips with the dangerous monsters that have also evolved from humanity’s greed and mistakes. But as Jeff Goldblum would say, life finds a way.

Weapons are created from human scrap, items and clothes from old material, and the world is strewn with the metal skeletons of burnt out cars, chemical power plants and cracked roads. Set in a post-post-apocalyptic world, further ahead even than Horizon Zero Dawn, Biomutant’s creatures have evolved from the toxic polluted hellhole that wiped out the last humans. Biomutant feels like something Rare might have wished they’d done if they still had the same direction they did back in the 90s.
#When does biomutant come out full
There’s something undeniably wonderful about the concept of a game that unapologetically combines the animal protagonists you might expect in a platformer, with an openworld RPG full of crafting and side quests. Anthropomorphic open-world kung-fu action-RPG Biomutant is released into the wild this week, but does it live up to its ambitions, or is it a freak of nature? The Finger Guns Review:
