I put it on Quality Unleashed and haven’t looked back since. Almost two years into the life of the new consoles, it finally feels like the shackles are coming off. Quality Unleashed is the anomaly here and allows Native 4K at up to 60fps. Quality mode is Native 4K capped at 30fps and Performance mode is 2K at a stable 60fps. For Xbox Series X these are: Quality, Performance and Quality Unleashed. On one occasion I managed to move out the opposing tribe using moth nests hidden underground another time, I simply threatened them with what would happen if they didn’t leave and that was enough.įor the Xbox Series X|S versions of Biomutant, the only new features come in the form of a now-standard graphics mode option. You could simply run-in guns blazing, but there are other solutions too. The combat is quite good fun however, and Biomutant is perhaps at its best when you are taking over tribe outposts. On the flipside, if you have played open-world games before, Biomutant doesn’t require much thinking to play, and can easily help pass the time if you zone out for a bit. It is a culmination of ideas that are now tried and tested mechanics in gaming, without ever really pushing the boat out. You can then choose to trade them for money or scrap them for resources to craft new items.Īs you can see, none of these ideas are exactly breaking new ground for the open-world genre, and that is exactly how Biomutant feels when you are playing. Some of these are locked behind your moral standings until you reach a high enough dark or light aura.īiomutant is intensive in its loot gathering, so those base weapons and armor you start with will quickly become obsolete. Think of these like magic abilities and you get the idea. You can also unlock Mutations which give your character some useful and unique abilities separate from shooting and slashing away. You can unlock new abilities as you wish in the rather confusing Character menu, with various different upgrade points. In Biomutant, your animal can engage in melee or ranged combat and is equally ruthless in both. Now sans-narrator, I was able to explore this world in peaceful leisure. Even on the lowest setting he pops up far too often, and it wasn’t long before I turned him off completely. He has a habit of droning on for far too long and even when he offers interjections whilst exploring, these are far too frequent. Their grunts and noises are interpreted by the narrator for you to make sense of what they’re saying. As advanced as these animals have become, the King’s English still escapes them. Your journey and choices are accompanied by a narrator throughout. And in these, there is usually some good loot to be found. These do unfortunately boil down to a lot of fetch quests for the various individuals, but they can send you to areas you otherwise wouldn’t explore. Despite a fairly linear path throughout the main story, you will quickly rack up side quests from exploration or meeting new people. You will meet plenty of other NPCs on your journey that will be only too happy to ask you for a favour. The tribes and the Worldeaters form the backbone of Biomutant’s main narrative. Do you unite the tribes or conquer them? Do you let the Tree of Life die off, or try and save it? These choices are completely down to you. Alongside a morality system, these tribes allow you to play out Biomutant to your preferred choice. As well as these, six tribes have sprouted up throughout the world, each one with a different view on how to solve the Tree of Life problem.
