From the all-around solid Rex type to the mentally-focused Fip type, each breed gives the player a direction to focus their character in. The breed determines the character’s physical shape and their starting combat emphasis if any. The first choice that the game asks players to make is to pick their breed. Now we should talk about character creation. This lack of connection extends to the larger cast as well, with no character ever growing beyond the simple function of dispensing missions. As someone who thrives best in games where I truly care about and grow attached to the player character, this put my experience here solidly behind other recent offerings in the genre. With only one short flashback sequence utilized to flesh out the character’s backstory, the silent protagonist never manages to become enough of a person to gain any real attachment. The protagonist’s journey to save the Tree of Life and right a wrong done to him is largely a soulless one. To start, we have to talk about Biomutant‘s weakest aspect, its story. Into this situation wanders an exile that returns after a traumatic event that drove him out years earlier. It is only a matter of time before the Tree dies unless someone does something. But now, four monstrous creatures are consuming the roots of the Tree. Anthropomorphized creatures have gained sentience and have built their own world in the ruins of the old one and centered around what they call The Tree of Life. And their presence has brought new life into the world. The biohazards and toxins that were poured into nature linger. But while we are no longer present in the world, our fingerprint remains. Biomutant is an open world, 3rd person action RPG game developed by Experiment 101 and published by THQ Nordic. Now here, I can say that Biomutant delivers in a great many ways while still suffering from a stumble or two. Since I first got my hands on Biomutant at PAX East 2019, where it was my Best in Show, I have been eagerly awaiting my opportunity to get my hands on the finished product.
