A more stealth focused streamlined Xcom-ish experience. Quite linear in it's narrative and game design. Enjoyable nonetheless, with a interesting world. Oftentimes the lore or the potential of narrative is more intriguing, than the game itself, which does follow a rather predictable plot. Still, there is something here, and as a first entry for myself into xcom-type games, I did still find some comfortability and enjoyment with this. Not enough ingredients to cook up anything you haven't tasted before but, not quite rancid enough to leave you with food poisoning either.

Great tactical RPG. Would never play this without quicksaves though, since the stealth mechanic is very important and was a bit finicky. I enjoyed the world and diverse character skill due to their races. Doesn't take itself too seriously with buffing items like a beach visor helping with shooting, which I liked.

Mutant: Year Zero is a solid tactics game. Good visuals, good gameplay and a stealth mechanic twist keeps the game engaging for the first 6-10 hours.

Over time, however, the gameplay runs its course. The stealth aspect goes from interesting to essential. Many encounters cannot be beaten without using stealth to eliminate stragglers, meaning your silent weapons must be the priority, taking away the ability to run and gun.

Otherwise, I found this to be an enjoyable game for a few afternoons. Fans of the genre will find something to like, and this game could serve as a great entry point for someone before getting crushed by XCOM.

I lost enthusiasm for this before finishing, but I think others will find the story and gameplay good enough to find it worth playing through.

Muy buen juego de estrategia con una buena ambientacion

O jogo me deixou curioso por conta dos gráficos e personagens antropomórficos, e pelo combate de tática que é um dos meus preferidos. Mas mesmo assim não esperava uma narrativa tão boa, um mundo tão completo e um sistema de combate robusto como ele tem.

O combate tem uma mistura de tática com stealth que funciona muito bem e é muito bem balanceado e desafiador. Os personagens são interessantes, algo que não eu não esperava. Consegui o jogo pela Epic Games gratuitamente, e me vi compelido a comprar o DLC. Vou ficar de olho nos próximos jogos dessa empresa.
