Biomutant had its moments of humour and weirdness, as well as a nice artistic style with a bright and beautiful world to explore, including different biomes. The mounts, of which could be purchased or tamed, felt good to traverse the environment. Combat was also chaotic, with a lot of options, from melee to ranged.

Unfortunately, it suffered a great deal from Open World Syndrome, where most of the locations were copy-pasted, especially the interiors of buildings. It wasn't saved by its cast of characters either, who spewed the same rhetoric over and over, their utter lack of personalities not helped by the use of a narrator. A mixed bag if ever there was one.
