BioMutant (PS4, Xbox One, PC) – May 25
Best Open World Games in 2021 to Keep on Your Radar
After a seriously long wait, BioMutant finally received a new release date just last week. Set to release for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on May 25, the title will allow players to create their own mutilated, mammalian warrior in a world struck by a natural disaster that sees poisonous oil rising up from beneath the surface and polluting the Tree of Life.
What’s really piqued our interest with BioMutant is how the character customization via mutations will turn out.
Developer Experiment 101 has promised various mutations and bio-mechanical body parts that can be equipped and utilized to get the upper-hand in combat, or to navigate the environment. It seems as though it’ll provide a ton of freedom in how players approach the game and its hazardous world.
We don’t really know a ton else about BioMutant. We know the game won’t have fetch quests, according to an interview with Gamereactor back in 2017. This certainly makes the premise of its side quests that little more intriguing, but details on these are still scarce.
What BioMutant will have is branching storylines, a Karma system for NPCs that you meet, and a companion system so you can recruit your favorite mutilated mammal buddies.
Fortunately, we don’t have long to wait until we can go hands-on with the game. Will it be worth the wait? We certainly think it could well be.
