What Biomutant is
Biomutant is an adventure game developed by Experiment 101 and released in 2021. It was published by THQ Nordic. It is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unreal Engine 4.
The premise, in the publisher's words
"A plague is ruining the land and the Tree-of-Life is bleeding death from its roots. The Tribes stand divided, in need of someone strong enough to unite them or bring them all down…"
How it plays
It is played from a third person perspective. Its themes are action and open world. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 46 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
Biomutant holds a critic score of 73 out of 100. That places it above 44% of the 7,527 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2021 averaged 74, so it scored about average for its year. Players rate it 67, 6 points lower than critics did — a gap worth knowing about before you buy.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 25.5 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 58 hrs, roughly 2.3 times the length of the critical path. At its current cheapest price of $8.49, that works out to about $0.33 per hour of the main story, or $0.15 per hour if you finish everything.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for AMD FX-8350 or Intel Core i5-4690K or newer running at 3.5 GHz or higher, 8 GB RAM and 4 GB Direct3D 11 capable video card - GeForce GTX 960 or Radeon R9 380. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 25GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.

All of them reviewed better. It arrived 1 year into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Resident Evil Village, Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.
