Actually, it feels like a lot of the content is gated behind short quests. The game has a couple of different biomes with one dominant element (snow, heat, poison, etc), and to fully explore everything, you’ll first have to find the appropriate protective suit.

The downside of mastering that crafting system is that pretty soon you might end up with an incredibly powerful gun (or a melee weapon) and just use that to cheese through the game, never feeling the need to perhaps test out the PSI powers or any other tactic. A couple of hours into the game (thanks to my video game hoarding syndrome) I managed to craft an automatic rifle that looks like a clown threw it up but on the bright side it has a radiation status effect and it melts almost every enemy. Every gun piece, melee weapon piece, and clothing piece can be used for something. It’s a game where you should never ever throw anything away. The crafting system in BIOMUTANT could be the selling point of the game, along with its quirky visuals. You unlock more moves after leveling up, get to amp up your stats, and get acquainted with the crafting system. This is the game where exploring and doing sidequests is highly rewarding. You have some martial art skills at the start, a gun and later on you will unlock plenty of PSI abilities (let’s just call those furry magic from now on). The combat system in BIOMUTANT is deep and engaging, but never complex. So yeah, the story might not be anything spectacular, but what about the gameplay? Well, this is the part where things start to get pretty interesting. So let’s dig in deeper to see what BIOMUTANT is all about. Or we could just assume that the devs did a lot of mind-altering substances during the development. Check out any prerelease trailer or a preview and you’ll see that the game has some strange visuals and character designs. But that weirdness is what got me interested in BIOMUTANT as well. Such things could be said for Zeno Clash, Killer7, Deadly Premonition and I’d say that from one of the more recent releases Death Stranding fits there as well. After all, it is a great selling point when a game is recommended to you with “this is something new, different, you should definitely check it out”. I’m talking about games that want to bring something new to the table whether that is in regard to story, gameplay, or just visuals. For games that dare to try and be different.
