What other open world game stars a bipedal mutant cat-thing that specializes in martial arts? This is an RPG in which you can leap from your grotesque, grinning horse, summon a ball of mucus around yourself to roll up your enemies like ants on a moist jawbreaker, 'detonate' the mucus to send them flying, and finish with a slow-motion Max Payne-esque volley of electric bullets from a gun with a trumpet horn for a muzzle. It's tragic, then, that hollow progression and an incessant narrator suck out so much of the joy in Biomutant...

As always do feel free to come to discuss these changes on the official discord here - Biomutant discord PC Specific ● Added “Field of View Type” setting for selecting between horizontal and vertical Field of View. Vertical Field of View is useful when using a wider monitor to get the correct aspect ratio. By default, the Field of View is set to be horizontal. ● Fixed crash when temporarily losing contact with the GPU. Progression ● Increased level cap from 50 to 100. Items & Loot In order to improve the looting experience, we’ve tweaked how the loot generation works to reduce duplicate items and improve variety. We have also added several new items which have higher stats than their lower rarity counterparts. This means that an item found with a certain rarity can also be found later with a higher rarity and much improved stats. And to top it off we have also added a much-requested scrap action to the loot screen, which should reduce time spent cleaning up the inventory. ● Added more superb loot variations. ● Added higher tier relic and legendary weapon parts that will start dropping at level 50. ● Updated loot generation to provide more variation and less duplicate items. ● Added scrap action to loot screen. ● Added settings for hiding or showing head items. ● Increased damage of later tribe weapons to better fit player level and gear. ● Removed addon slots from special gear that can't be scrapped, lost or crafted with. ● Fixed issue which allowed an unlimited material supply to be gained from crafting. ● Fixed Missile Cloud to correctly fire on every fourth shot during Rapid Shot in Super Wushu. ● Updated Saw Blades to have a lower spread, higher velocity and correct pierce through enemy behavior. ● Fixed Pichu Nanchuk being hidden in inspect mode. ● Fixed issue where it was possible to equip another one-handed weapon when the Pichu Nanchuk was already equipped. ● Fixed issue which caused Valve addon to have higher stats than intended. ● Reduced resistance values for Ancient Pants to make other gear more viable. ● Fixed favorite consumables quick menu being scrambled when there are no free slots available. ● Fixed Automaton Health Injector cooldown being reset when using Automaton Boost resulting in Automaton Health Injector only being refilled after resting. Settings ● Added “HUD > Mode” setting where it’s possible to select either “ALWAYS SHOW” or “DYNAMIC”. Selecting the “DYNAMIC” option hides the persistent UI elements after a while outside combat. When “DYNAMIC” is selected the player can open either menu or quick menu for the UI elements to show up temporarily. By default, the old “ALWAYS SHOW” behavior is selected. ● Added “Quick Menu Toggle” accessibility setting. When enabled the player isn’t required to hold down the corresponding input to ...Biomutant's pesky narrator can now be turned offJun 2, 2021 - PC GamerBiomutant will finally let you roam its wonderfully bizarre open-world without an Attenborough-esque narrator talking in infantile gibberish, thanks to the game's massive first patch...

As always do feel free to come to discuss these changes on the official discord here - Biomutant discord PC Specific ● Fixed crash with AMD-based CPUs with built-in graphics. ● Fixed crash when device info contains invalid display data on AMD-based CPUs. Tutorial Area In order to improve the pacing of the early parts of the game, we’ve edited dialogues to be shorter. We’ve also added more enemies and loot to these areas to better represent the experience later in the game. ● Added more early enemy encounters. ● Added missing loot in empty trenches outside Jagni Fortress. ● Added Item drop chance for Bunker 101 crates. ● Updated Best-Before memory to decrease the distance between the Nonos and the Pensai tree. ● Removed some parts of Out-of-Date and Best-Before’s dialogues to improve pacing. ● Removed multiple dialogue fragments to shorten tutorial area length. ● Removed some parts of Goop and Gizmo’s dialogues to improve pacing. ● Removed multiple camera presentations to improve pacing. Dialogue & Narrator ● Reduced the amount of gibberish spoken before the Narrator starts translating. ● Added dialogue setting toggles for “Gibberish” and “Narrator” allowing players to select if they want to hear the narrator, the gibberish or both when talking to NPCs. ● Fixed narration and gibberish playing silently and producing an awkward pause when each corresponding volume setting is set to 0 instead of skipping the sound entirely. ● Removed the text delay animation when either gibberish or narration is disabled. Difficulty Settings ● Added "Extreme" difficulty setting, where enemy damage and attack rate is further increased. ● Fixed difficulty settings not being applied for already spawned enemies. New Game+ ● Opened up all class perks for NG+ games. When starting an NG+ game, the player will now be able to unlock perks from all classes. Settings ● Added Motion Blur slider to the settings. ● Fixed so the camera setting “Auto Adjust > Player” also applies for combat, if turned off the camera will no longer try to frame enemies while in combat. ● Fix Depth of Field toggle not being applied in dialogues Items & Loot ● Increased chances that items found have a level requirements closer to the player's actual level when found. Players will still be able to find items with higher level requirements, but player level is now taken into account. ● Removed Common item loot drops from high level loot crates. ● Reduced the amount of healing items that the player will find from crates and defeated enemies. ● Increased base damage from melee bodies, handles and addons by approximately 5%. ● Reduced base damage from ranged bodies, muzzles and grips by approximately 5%. ● Fixed resistance stats not being applied for crafted gear when adding...Steam Global Top Sellers for the Week ending 30 May 2021May 29, 2021 - SteamDB * BIOMUTANT Pre-Order; * BIOMUTANT; * Sea of Thieves; * Mass Effect™ Legendary Edition; * Days Gone; * Valve Index VR Kit; * Grand Theft Auto V; * ARK: Survival Evolved; * The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition; * Rust; View more information and data on SteamDBUpcoming Biomutant patch to make "changes based on community feedback"May 29, 2021 - EurogamerThe developer behind Biomutant has said an upcoming update will make significant improvements to the game. Experiment 101 said this update, which it hopes to release soon, will include bug fixes and "changes based on community feedback". What changes, exactly? Experiment 101 didn't go into great detail, but namechecked many of Biomutant's systems: Read more Biomutant Lost Over Half of Its Players in Just the First 2 Days on SteamMay 28, 2021 - GitHypInspired by highly successful triple-A titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Horizon: Zero Dawn, it's easy to see why Biomutant was one of the most anticipated new open world RPGs for many gamers over the past few years. But the small team at Experiment 101 might have done a little too much experimenting when trying to mix the combat from Devil May Cry, the loot from Borderlands, and even more random elements from other popular games and sci-fi franchises – resulting in feedback from players also being mixed and over half not coming back to play again. Biomutant's hype and impressive visuals were enough to bring in a peak of 55k concurrent players and place the game at #13 on Steam's list of most played games on its first day earlier this week. And while most feedback from players praised the beautiful art style, performance on PC, and uniqueness of the game; Biomutant's strange mash-up of design choices, character/narrator dialogue, lack of polish in certain areas, and repetitive gameplay resulted in a 55% decline in players during the game's first 2 days on Steam. Having a dropoff of around 50% is usually expected around the second or third week for most popular brand new singleplayer games that take around 20 hours to complete; but, losing half of a playerbase on the just the second day is certainly not great news for publisher, THQ Nordic, and perfectly aligns with the mixed reviews from more vocal gamers on Steam. Even with players split on how they feel, Biomutant launching just outside Steam's Top 10 on its first day is still likely considered a big win for THQ and the team of only 20 employees at Experiment 101 who have yet to report on the game's budget or sales.Welcome to BIOMUTANT: Highly Anticipated Open-World-RPG is Out Now!May 25, 2021 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/7564110/2b5354ef4a0adf1cd1468cfbd029da9ba72a87c4.png Stockholm, Sweden / Vienna, Austria - May 25th, 2021: It all started out with an announcement at gamescom back in 2017... After all the years of anticipation, it feels surreal to us that the time has finally come. Open-world, post-apocalyptic Wung-Fu fable RPG BIOMUTANT, is now available worldwide on PlayStation®4, Xbox One™, and PC at an SRP of $ 59.99 / € 59.99 / 54.99 £. https://store.steampowered.com/app/597820/ BIOMUTANT's ever-evolving hero has been called a raccoon, a red panda, and even a cat, but what remains most important is its unique, martial-arts-style combat system that mixes melee, shooting, and mutant abilities. Players can look forward to unleashing these powers against surprise attacks from some of the most outlandish enemies ever confronted. BIOMUTANT's lush and vibrant gamescape, spanning everything from snowy tundras to rocky deserts, serves as the backdrop to an epic fable of one creature's journey to save his broken world. Watch the Release Trailer on YouTube: https://youtu.be/I9oPugTMPBw We appreciate the patience we received from fans, critics, and partners over the years. Everyone at Experiment 1O1 and THQ Nordic hopes that you will have a great time with the game. At this point, there is nothing more to say except: Welcome to BIOMUTANT! Enjoy and stay tuned!Biomutant ReviewMay 24, 2021 - CGMagazinehttps://www.cgmagonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/news-biomutant-review.jpg I’ve often talked about the folly of preemptive announcements at gaming events. Whether it was Final Fantasy VII: Remake being announced five years ahead of its release, Kingdom Hearts 3 being announced six years ahead, or, most drastically, Duke Nukem Forever being announced 14 years ahead; publisher’s desperate to have announcements at events like E3 put the cart so far ahead of the horse that they’re pushing the bloody thing to market—and the finished product is never going to live up to the hype. This was the case with Biomutant, initially announced at Gamescom back in 2017. I remember there being quite a bit of hype surrounding it—similarly to No Man’s Sky, gamers let a game’s concept get ahead of its content. Strangely though, Biomutant completely disappeared until a week before it’s release—even Polygon cracked jokes about that fact. Biomutant – THQ Nordic And I’ll admit, I was actually pretty curious about it. When I first saw the trailer, I genuinely liked the idea of a game that looked like it combined The Secret of NIMH with Fallout. But what I played left me disappointed and dejected—Biomutant is a complete mess of unrealised ideas and bad design. Defined as a “post-apocalyptic kung-fu fable,” Biomutant is set in a world that was destroyed thanks to the cartoonishly, on-the-nose: Toxanol Corporation, which dumped so much nuclear waste into the world’s ocean that it genetically mutated much of the wildlife, and the entire ecosystem—wiping out all the humans, and only leaving anthropomorphised animals, and mutated monstrosities. Now, terrible monsters called “World Enders,” are eating away at the roots of the last thing holding the world together, “The Tree of Life,” and it’s up to the player to either save the world, or destroy it. It’s an environmental narrative that I wasn’t totally expecting from this game, and one of the few things I have any major criticisms of. The problem isn’t the story, so much as it is the way it’s told. Almost all of the game is dictated through the game’s narrator—a charming, British character who describes moments and backstory as a Dungeon Master would in a game of Dungeons & Dragons. While, initially, this is fairly quaint and adds a charming, Fable-esk vibe to the whole proceedings, it quickly becomes incredibly frustrating as dialogue is delivered by the narrator and not the character who is speaking. Biomutant – THQ Nordic Now under normal circumstances, this wouldn’t be a problem; but in Biomutant, for whatever reason, the game decides to waste the player’s time by having the speaking character make gibberish sounds for 5-10 seconds, before the narrator comes in and explains what they’re saying. There’s even an option in the settings to reduce gibberish that does absolutely nothing—even turned down to one, there was still a decent chance characters would make nonsense sounds for what felt like forever, until the narrator...Steam Global Top Sellers for the Week ending 23 May 2021May 22, 2021 - SteamDB * Days Gone; * Mass Effect™ Legendary Edition; * BIOMUTANT; * Resident Evil Village; * Subnautica: Below Zero; * Red Dead Redemption 2; * Valve Index VR Kit; * The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition; * It Takes Two; * Cyberpunk 2077; View more information and data on SteamDBWhat is BIOMUTANT in a Nutshell?
