2019 Games You’re Probably Sleeping On
BioMutant – TBA 2019
With open world games being a dime a dozen these days, new titles have to do something unique in order to stand out. Luckily, that’s just what BioMutant does, and why it should be on your radar.
In a post-apocalyptic world filled with mutated creatures, you create your very own mutant with an intense degree of customization, altering body shape and size, fangs, length, fur thickness, and more.
All of these customization options will directly play into the stats and abilities of your creature. The story of BioMutant has you journeying around the world to try and save the Tree of Life, which is in danger of being destroyed by a mysterious poisonous oil that has seeped up through the surface.
Along your journey, you’ll be able to recruit companions, and customize your mutant with new weapons, abilities, and even bio-mechanical body parts. By doing this, you can change the look and function of your character, outfitting them with mechanical wings to fly, or mechanical legs that let you jump and dash at crazy speeds.
BioMutant’s combat leans heavily into action-RPG, and the entire game has an almost comic book-y element to it, with exaggerated effects and action words popping up when you cause damage in combat.
BioMutant looks incredibly ambitious, and its art style and mutation mechanics are definitely unique. Only time will tell if all of that ambition pays off, but at the very least it’s at least a game that open world fans need to have their eye on.
