Review: Biomutant (Switch) – A Solid Action RPG Marred By A Muddy Port

Biomutant X.

It’s been a long road for Biomutant‘s Switch release. The action RPG originally came out almost three years ago, back in May 2021, with the Switch version slowly getting pushed back time and time again. However, Experiment 101’s debut title is finally here, but it maybe should have been held back for the Switch’s successor.

Biomutant takes place in a post-apocalyptic open world, where the Tree-of-Life, a gigantic natural wonder that brings life to the whole world, is slowly being destroyed by five creatures gnawing away at its roots. You begin the game by creating your mutant character who, during the adventure, can choose to save the Tree-of-Life from these creatures and let the tree heal or let the world fall to ruin. After the intro tutorial, you can visit a variety of tribes scattered throughout the corners of the world, side with them, and complete quests that meet their wishes for the world. Some want it to fall to the plague and others are united in trying to save the Tree-of-Life.

Hands On: Hades 2 Is A Hell Of A Time, Even In Early Access

Switch successor release, then?

Hades II marks a first for Supergiant Games. This is the first time the studio has revisited a world, its characters, and their stories, and as a result, is its very first direct sequel. In a way, that might seem disappointing, but this is Supergiant Games we’re talking about. Hades is a masterclass in narrative design, addictive gameplay, rewarding progression, beautiful art, etc. It’s excellent across the board. However — this will shock you — Hades II also happens to be brilliant, and it’s not even finished yet!

After 20 hours of playing through the Early Access version, available via Steam and the Epic Games Store, we can tell Supergiant already has another hit on its hands. The studio can’t currently reveal what consoles it will be released on just yet — Switch Successor, maybe? We sure as hell hope so — but we couldn’t wait that long. So we loaded up our Steam Deck to check out this God-like, rogue-like sequel.
