All the combos are part of your Wung Fu martial art skills, and performing different skills in combat can allow you a Super Wung Fu overdrive state which allows you to do more damage. Some combos even combine the melee and gun attacks, which is interesting. But as you progress and level up you can learn special combo attacks which can be melee based or ranged based. Biomutant encourages you to mix up your melee and gun attacks as some enemies are more vulnerable to one over the other. The combat is generally pretty good and there are so many different options that you can handle combat in different ways. As the game is an open world, you can spend a lot of time roaming the land and there are a variety of mounts to obtain and tame to make travelling quicker and more fun. The movement and control are as fluid and responsive as you would want in this type of game. I stuck a lot on the default option so I chose dead eye which is a more gun-based character and that served me well as I was much better at fighting at range. These have more of an impact as they each hold special skills related to that class so you need to choose wisely.

The last choice you make is your class with five to choose from. After then there are still a few customisable options like your fur type and colour to put a personal touch on your character. You then get to choose a resistance preference which I think is probably a step too far as there are enough different clothes, costumes, and ways to build up resistance in the game that I feel this part is a little redundant. After you select your breed, you can mutate the character slightly to lean towards a certain attribute like strength which will give you a stockier build but a smaller head, while leaning towards intellect gives you a short body but a much bigger head. You get to customise your character by picking from six different breeds of animal, each with slightly different starting stats. The gameplay has a great foundation to it and it provides a lot of optional extras depending on how you want to play. So when you talk to any of the NPC’s, rather than having it translated with subtitles the Narrator translates and summarises their speech from a third person perspective a really neat touch. What is interesting is that the animals have their own language they talk in which reminds me of the way The Sims talk. In a similar style to Immortals Fenyx Rising, you have a narrator that talks over your adventure which at some points it is comforting as you travel, but it can also become a bit exhausting when he constantly keeps talking. The background music as you play, although is not as memorable as other games, still captures the mood greatly. Even in the areas which have been ravaged by the toxic waste, it still looks amazing.

The game looks beautiful as I play on an Xbox Series X. It is up to you to bring the tribes back together, battle against the World Eaters and face your past demons as you seek out Lupa Lupin and face off against the beast who killed your family.

Now, you have come back home to find your world in ruins and the tribes now at war with each other, Lupa Lupin is still at large and now four powerful beasts called World Eaters are devouring the Tree of Life which could bring the end of the world.


With the tribes in ruins and your parents killed you left your home to survive by yourself. Lupa Lupin not only killed your mother but your father too who were trying to help you get to safety. The protagonist’s mother, who is the leader of all the animal tribes that occupy the land, was defeated and killed by a beastly animal called Lupa Lupin. However, the animals closer to nature who were in some way mutated by the toxic waste are trying to heal mother nature by nurturing the Tree of Life. Dumping toxic waste into the oceans causing mutations that were ignored and covered up before it fittingly became their ultimate end. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where – although not directly blamed but implied – the humans abused nature to fuel their selfish lifestyle with no regard for nature and consequence. There are a few lumps in that smoothie however, though it remains rather enjoyable. This feels like Immortals Fenyx Rising, Breath of the Wild and the film Kung Fu Panda have been put into a blender to make a rather satisfying smoothie. Developed by Experiment 101 and published by THQ Nordic, Biomutant is an action RPG with a lot of adventure and whimsy.
