I very quickly grew to hate any dialogue encounter because it felt so needlessly roundabout, and was made the more frustrating by the uncertainty of knowing when the gibberish moment would be quick or long, and trying to skip it with a button press would result in skipping the narrator instead.īut I could have overlooked the narrative annoyances, had the gameplay been enough to get past them sadly it isn’t. There’s even an option in the settings to reduce gibberish that does absolutely nothing-even turned down to one, there was still a decent chance characters would make nonsense sounds for what felt like forever, until the narrator told me what they were saying. Now under normal circumstances, this wouldn’t be a problem but in Biomutant, for whatever reason, the game decides to waste the player’s time by having the speaking character make gibberish sounds for 5-10 seconds, before the narrator comes in and explains what they’re saying. While, initially, this is fairly quaint and adds a charming, Fable-esk vibe to the whole proceedings, it quickly becomes incredibly frustrating as dialogue is delivered by the narrator and not the character who is speaking. Almost all of the game is dictated through the game’s narrator-a charming, British character who describes moments and backstory as a Dungeon Master would in a game of Dungeons & Dragons. The problem isn’t the story, so much as it is the way it’s told. It’s an environmental narrative that I wasn’t totally expecting from this game, and one of the few things I have any major criticisms of. Now, terrible monsters called “World Enders,” are eating away at the roots of the last thing holding the world together, “The Tree of Life,” and it’s up to the player to either save the world, or destroy it. But what I played left me disappointed and dejected- Biomutant is a complete mess of unrealised ideas and bad design.ĭefined as a “post-apocalyptic kung-fu fable,” Biomutant is set in a world that was destroyed thanks to the cartoonishly, on-the-nose: Toxanol Corporation, which dumped so much nuclear waste into the world’s ocean that it genetically mutated much of the wildlife, and the entire ecosystem-wiping out all the humans, and only leaving anthropomorphised animals, and mutated monstrosities. When I first saw the trailer, I genuinely liked the idea of a game that looked like it combined The Secret of NIMH with Fallout.
