Forbes - Unscored
Still, my 75-hour playthrough didn’t feel like time waster. Biomutant has charm and heart; everything more or less works: there’s always the promise of something weird and wonderful around the corner, even if you’ve seen something similar before. It’s definitely unlike anything else you’ve played before, even if it reminds you of everything else.

GameInformer - 6.5
Despite bursting at the seams with cool ideas, Biomutant is a largely hollow experience that only provides fleeting glimpses of greatness.

PowerUp Gaming - 9/10
The wait to explore this new world may have been a little long in the tooth but Biomutant has emerged as a game about, and of, spectacular evolution.

Push Square - 4/10
Biomutant could have been something special, but the ambitious project fails to capitalise on what it does differently. Trapped in the clutches of an open world from a generation past, its own ideas are thwarted by an overload of other mechanics and overwhelming menus. By trying to do so much, Biomutant skipped the part where it built a solid basis to work from. While there's still potential here, Experiment 101's first attempt hasn't realised it.

PressStart - 5.5
As the credits rolled on Biomutant, I couldn’t help but wonder why there was so much in the game and yet so much that was distinctly unmemorable. It’s got jet skis, horses, Titanfall-esque mechs, and even bug catching. There are psychic powers, real guns, boomerangs, and a mountable walking mechanical hand that shoots from its fingers. But none of it ever comes together in a way that makes sense, and that’s Biomutants biggest problem. It’s just trying to do too much and, in the process, lost sight of what it sets out to do.

Gamespot - 6/10
There's still an enjoyable game here, but a lot of unfortunate caveats come attached to that statement. Yet while it might not always hit the mark, Biomutant is an ambitiously flawed game from a small studio, and the games industry could always use more risky endeavors like this one.


IGN - 6/10​

Biomutant has a lot of the building blocks of a top-drawer action RPG but its cookie-cutter approach to objectives and puzzles starts feeling very repetitive very early on.

Damn

I knew this would be shyt, my prediction was 67.

Yall were the ones hyped
The multi plat wonder

Mid-ly plat.

Mid-ly plat.

Xbox fans never get tired of having to explain why reviews don’t matter, look at this shyt, copied directly from notepad

Games like this will always score a bit lower. They’ll give whatever boring Ubisoft game good scores despite it being “empty and cookie cutter” for reasons.

This is a new franchise from a new dev so they will always have an uphill battle when it comes review scores.

I like the setting, the presentation is a nice change of pace and the combat/traversal looks fun.

Basically this.

I also expect the users scores to be higher than review scores.

Either way scores are all over the place but it's just about what I expected.

I also don't depend on scores or reviews to determine if I'll enjoy a game, I'd miss out on alot of fun games if I did

Ironically enough, the game's structure sounds to be a bit more like Ubisoft games than you may like.

Even though the reviews are mediocre, Imma still play this thru EA Play Pro($15/mo), then prolly cop it if I like when on sale.

I didn’t expect it to be much else. The draw for me is the combat and unique setting

I'm two and a half minutes in, and homie done emptied the chopper already.

Imagine dismissing user scores over review scores.

True Hype beast

User scores are easily manipulated.

User scores might be more unreliable than the critic scores, anyone could just go rate a game a 1 without even playing the game, and they do it all the time for reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of the game itself.

What’s more likely that all these people playing it for the past week are lying or that fans with less disposable income are gonna dig their heels in because they already financially and emotionally invested in the game?
