biomutant is getting bad reviews

[SnoLight]

title kinda says it all i dont think anyone is really happy with what they played i pre ordered so im along for the ride i dont really give a crap about ign or anything its just kinda interesting

at the end of the day, its all subjective. Sometimes I hate games, that a loved by most, and love games, hated by most. Just adjust your expectations accordingly.

Honestly half of the reviews should be thrown out anyway. So many of them are mad that their homemade hype wasn't real or outright unethical.

i feel the same way tbh im with you guys im not the type of person who puts so much hype into a game that when it doesnt do everything i want from it then i think its bad like its weird i put in over 100 hours into cyber punk 2077 and i loved it ya know i just feel like this is gonna be the new youtube click bait video game

This review makes the other ones sound like they don't like weird stuff. Luckily for me I love weird stuff.

Returnal got excellent reviews and it was a waste of $70 for me, so it's all subjective.

I don't even know where the hype came from. People were intrigued by the theme of the game. Then we didn't hear anything for almost 2 years. And suddenly there is a hype train out of nowhere (which I luckily didn't really notice until a month ago).

Not gonna lie the gameplay videos looked kinda cool and I'm really hype for the character looks (not due to the hype train. Had this game on my list when the release was still supposed to be 2019). That video that was released a few days ago about the story and setting really did the rest. Had to pre-order today after all. But the hype train had anbsolutely no realistic basis. Just media outlets hyping stuff up for clicks.

Fingers crossed it's not as much of a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ as Cyberpunk was. Luckily I avoided that one because I didn't pre-order then but it was still massively disappointing what we got there. Actually makes me kinda happy we didn't get any information on Biomutant the last two years :)

I feel the same. Tomb Raider games are a prime example for me, specifically Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Many people loved it, yet I am one of those who eventually hated it.

And it is just as bad as the rest of them. Bought into his own hype and expected something that was never going to be.

Honestly his only good points were about the bugs, everything else he said was just...well...stupid.

have you guys seen the skill up review?

[crazycupmuffin]

I watched Cohhcarnage play this for 3 hours and I loved what I seen. Looks a little clunky in combat, but I have never minded games being a bit janky.

Yeah, the same guy who praised Wolcen for 30 minutes.

The guy who called some isometric game 'It's like Fallout... but turn-based and isometric'? :D

But other than that, the reviews aren't exactly bad. They're okay-ish. As far as I've listened to them it still looks like a game for me. The stuff that bothers reviewers isn't always something that would bother me. I'll buy the game after a few patches :3

The guy at IGN was bored by the narration; the guy at Eurogamer pointed out that you can use the settings to reduce the amount of narration you hear. Either the IGN guy didn't know that or it didn't matter to him.

The IGN guy played on PS5 and had a crash an hour, which is very annoying no matter who you are. Still, he admitted that the skilling system allowed you to pick up just about any weapon and be handy with it, which I find attractive.

So, it all comes down to what you like, which no reviewer can tell you. The best they can do is lay out their experiences and you have to decide whether you'd come to the same conclusions they did if you were presented with the same situations.

If the game is as buggy as it appears it is, it will get trashed no matter what else it offers.

But for my bucks, an ambitious RPG is worth a look see.
