Biomutant: 7 Incredible Features That Will Blow You Away

4. It Doesn't Shy Away From Environmentalism Issues

If you thought that the gear crafting and character customization features were jaw-dropping, then prepare to have your head absolutely rocked by the game's core narrative thrust. Because, my friend, it is so on the nose that it breaks it, and that isn't a bad thing.

You see the game, almost relentlessly, tells you at every turn that this world is both one reborn from the ashes of destruction from a previous race of beings, but is itself also dying. Now that The Tree Of Life has begun to wither, Biomutant repeatedly hammers home the importance of respecting nature in all its forms.

And I mean that quite literally, as the game details that the race who came before is clearly the human race, dooming itself by over-mining, over-polluting, and letting big corporations decide for the individual what the "best" course for society was. Even saying in just as many words "We are all going to die if this repeats itself".

Sometimes a message doesn't need to be subtle to be powerful, as a brick to the head is sure to be felt no matter how blunt the expression.
