Nah, it’s definitely AA.Based on these reviews even "AA" seems like a stretch. Reads like an amateur project with a cool aesthetic.
The tutorial is pretty crap. Once you get past that, You'll have more fun. That's how it was for me.Something really odd with the steam reviews. The game was mostly negative yesterday but today it's almost at 60 percent. People leaving negative reviews playing for 40 minutes. For a game that it's not a performance clusterfuck, or has predatory MTX that seems really odd.
This looked like a 6 to 8 out of 10 game to me. We need more AA games like this one. Otherwise the industry would be made of your odd AAA single player, lots of free to play crap and indie metroidviania, first person horror survival crafting early access.
quoting myself to add more to it.Having performance issues on a GTX 1080 here, in 1080p.
In most places it's fine, though the GPU usage is most of the time rather high (around 80%), but in some places I get fps drops to the low 50s, in places that don't seem that demanding, sometimes even in interiors.
I tried different settings and I noticed it's caused by the shadows. Max and high are identical with the same impact on performance, but lowering shadows to medium made it go from 52 fps at 99% gpu usage, to 60 fps with 70% gpu usage, quite a difference. But the shadow drawing distance at medium is really bad, you can see the shadows being drawn right in front of you and big parts of the environment missing their lighting.
I also noticed that the v-sync for me acts like a double buffered vsync, meaning that if the framerate drops below 60, it immediatly locks itself to 30, no inbetween. I tried changing it to tripple buffered vsync in the nvidia control panel, but for some reason it's still the same. Only changing to borderless fixes the issue, but then I have the usual problems you get with borderless like weird framepacing / stuttering and such. Wish there was a way to fix this, or just improve the performances in general without making such a drastic change in the graphics.
I don't think the game looks ugly, it's fine, but it definitely doesn't look like it should be that demanding.
You should play the game...That's part of the "nailed the customization". Combat is garbage and map is pretty empty, and quest are below average. You should watch more reviews.
Who the he;; is Quarter of Three? Do they just allow all sites to get games and submit reviews? Looks like another site that gives a low score in order to get clicks. This game is a lot of fun, colorful, unique and a great, ambitious first effort. I guess people want another Last of Us or another COD.Quarter of Three gave it a 2/10
Biomutant tells a cautionary tale about cleaning up your own mess - Quarter to Three
A colorful post-apocalyptic open world populated by intelligent mutated animals. Tthe usual Ubisoft style open-world with a touch of Gamma World and a Secret of NIMH vibe. Over-the-top brawler gameplay, intricate stat-based character development, and a hearty crafting system. Mounts...www.quartertothree.com
Kinda cool that they use the whole scale, but I doubt that this is anywhere close to being fair. 2/10 is Big Rigs or Superman 64 territory. At its worst Biomutant is perfectly playable.
Who said it was AAA? What is wrong with AA? There are dozens (hundreds?) of mid tier games that are great. Small studios, gameplay janky at times but they still take risks on something new.Exactly what I expected, the dev talent just isn’t AAA, we knew this by their resumes. Hopefully they gain more experience and eventually get there though.

The game doesn't like button mashing at all, until people doesn't understand that, nobody is gonna look good while fighting.That combat tho.
Haven't bought this yet, but every streamer I've watched in combat...oof.
You know, just to see I looked up the score of a game I finished recently and loved - Onimusha: Warlords. Well, on metacritic It's rated a 67 with a 6.4 user score.
Just a nice reality check to get me to try out Biomutant.
I won't discount the possibility of spiked reviews because of agendas. But if we're being fair, would there be nearly as much review criticism if there were other new gen games for people to play?Kinda wonder if some reviewers are shitting in the game too much due to the whole ThqNordic / 8 chan debacle from years ago. Resetera pretty much spammed that shit into the ground a year ago where they kept saying they wont support this game
That combat tho.

Oh okay. The original reviews are more in line with what I thought it deserved. I didn't have one problem with the game on PC lol.Onimusha: Warlords
Delivering all the survival horror feel of the classic Capcom "Resident Evil" series, Onimusha Warlords pits the player as a the great swordsman Samanosuke Akechi, who must brave hell to save the fair princess after the Inabayma Castle has been overrun by evil demon zombies.www.metacritic.comOnimusha: Warlords

never trust critics with re-released games like this. that's my experience.
I played it on Switch and had a blast with it.
I was not going to be that brutal, but yeah...Most streamers can’t play anything for shit. I couldn’t imagine watching some rando finagle their way through anything game related. I’d rather do it myself Guess I’m just old fashioned.
It does look really good, they’ve done a cracking job. Enjoy!Been cranking at resident evil village so this will be a nice change of pace lol
Hey, it's me, your long lost brother. I'll talk to our other brother later, but go ahead and just pop me on the family account, Mom said it was cool.I quite like it. It's no masterpiece, but I find it very fun to play, granted I'm only 2 hours in. This game passed under my radar until now, I only got to play it because my brother bought it in our family share steam account.
See it's weird that people are saying there's a problem with the reviews being overly negative. Currently it's sitting at 67 after 52 reviews, which is almost 7/10. I think that's perfectly fine and probably what it deserves given the issues I'm hearing about, like lack of feedback in combat, some sound issues, janky cutscenes, characters seeming flat because everything's narrated by one guy, and the game being very repetitive without many meaningful side quests. With some issues fixed it's probably a solid 7.5. Nothing wrong with that.I've spent 6 hours with the game. It has some issues, but it's fun to play. Time just flew by without me noticing.
For now, I'd say this is a solid 7/10 game.
I can certainly say that I have enjoyed it a lot more than many big budget, open world games.
What I have issues with should not be impossible to fix in a possible patch or sequel.

So... I'm a bit confused about the combats. I kept reading that it was apparently way too easy, even on hard, but somehow I'm quite struggling with it and it feels like something is wrong.
I'm playing with the saboteur class, but I still haven't really got better gear than what you start with, only added a few armor piece and one upgrade on the starter weapon, I don't know if that's normal or not.
Here's a little clip of a place where I died several times, I don't know, it takes quite a lot to kill level 3 ennemies (the combat started quite a bit before I began recording) and I'm level 6.
It really feels like I missed something because right now it's just weird.
Maybe that's just normal, but since the beginning something felt weird about my combats like if I really missed something, like unnecessary long / tedious, which seems to go against the general consensus that combats are way too easy.
Because he told a fact?
It's not that i'm complaining about the "difficulty", but given that everyone, even journalists, are insisting on how easy this game is, I was wondering if I missed a feature or if I was supposed to have far better stats or something, because my experience is not really reflecting that.Dude, be grateful that you are having some difficulty because you are probably gonna get super OP by mid game like in the majority of open worlds, it means that every upgrade and loot is gonna be more meaningful.
I started with the weakest (but funniest imo) class just to have some more challenge.

I think because 8 chan is a 'bad' website that the snowflakes don't like and THQ did an AMA on it a couple years back either on purpose or not knowing that it wouldn't sit well with some. And now, years later all THQ published games are apparently blacklisted. Doesn't matter if the hundreds of developers that had nothing to do with that, in their eyes. Don't penalize the developers. These people need to chill out and let shit go.What does the whole 8chan thing have to do with the review scores?
Well maybe the journalists were talking about the game in general and not just the first hours.It's not that i'm complaining about the "difficulty", but given that everyone, even journalists, are insisting on how easy this game is, I was wondering if I missed a feature or if I was supposed to have far better stats or something, because my experience is not really reflecting that.
You mean the gun? It's still the default one.When you paused to go to the wheel what were you using?
I read it but playing mostly with guns feel more repetitive and end up being more boring in my opinion, but it's indeed a lot safer. It feels like it's not perfectly balanced.I edited my post with some tips.

So 31/40. Quite a bit worse than Sonic Forces (35/40).Famitsu
Biomutant (PS4, Xbox One): 7/8/8/8
Comparing games of different genres is useless. So did Sonic Forces accomplish what it set out to do? If it did the score is warranted.So 31/40. Quite a bit worse than Sonic Forces (35/40).
Sonic Forces is universally agreed to be a garbage game. The point is that Famitsu scores are basically meaningless (even compared to other sites). FFXIII-2, Death Stranding and Nintendogs all got a perfect 40/40.Comparing games of different genres is useless. So did Sonic Forces accomplish what it set out to do? If it did the score is warranted.
