CORRECTION: you CAN in fact get all tribe weapons after you end the war, even if you end early. Just head to the fortresses and pick it up!

I like how every developer leaves 10 things unmentioned in their games and you always find them 👍

The most important tip is to change the narrator's voice to Japanese in settings so the game's tone suddenly becomes like a really ominous samurai fable. And then he has to pronounce Wogglefloof. It's fucking amazing.

I love this game. I think we need to encourage devs to take chances or we will doom ourselves to yearly franchises and cookie cutter cashgrabs

“Keep the tribal war going” Solid advice.

So i got this game free with PS + and honestly I’ve had a lot of fun with it. It takes a bit to learn the systems but its actually pretty good. They seem to have patched out 99% of the bugs in the ps5 version so if your interested at all I’d give it a chance.

The best way my GF phrased the game after we started playing: "It is more like RPGs from when we were kids, like the Jak games or Fable. It's simple and easy for younger kids and new gamers to get into, and is fun for the sake of fun." Which is something I actually agree with. We kind of largely moved away from accessible/easy games as a gamer-culture as we all got older, but most of us who grew up playing stuff like Fable/Jak...that was as far back as 2001...twenty years ago. I'm 27 and there are plenty of younger kids out there just coming into the gaming landscape and THIS is their Jak & Daxter style adventure, their introduction to open-world RPGs. But even then, I am still enjoying the game itself as a nice change of pace from 'hardcore' games that stress me out. After a full day at work, it's just nice to plop down and play something fun and simple that I can just enjoy without some a-hole on multiplayer screaming into my headset or getting mercilessly stomped by (purposefully unfair) mechanics in a series like Darksouls.

It's a pain to get started but once you've done all the tutorials it's really fun

My tip for newbies is to obtain the dead zone suits asap once you’re allowed to freely explore the world. Getting them is fairly straightforward in my opinion. You just need to find and tune Pingdishes which would look like satellite bases irl. Once you properly align these dishes they’ll lead you directly to where you can find the dead zone suits. There are five suits in all for Heat, Cold, Radioactivity, Hypoxia (oxygen) and the aforementioned Biohazard suit in the video. Obtaining the O2 suit for Hypoxia zones first is your best option because you’ll need to enter Hypoxia zones quite frequently near the beginning. I won’t spoil anything but you’ll understand why you need it the most when you start playing.

I've been having a blast, glad to hear i can change my dudes appearance.

After watching 4 or 5 reviews, I was expecting a janky, disjointed mess of a game. I just played for 5 hours and it felt like 5 minutes. Its unquestionably a AA title with issues, but I had a blast with it.

I honestly love the voice acting for the light and dark aura character!!!

You can actually activate the super wung fu ability with only two special moves, not three as the game suggests. I found this out by accident, you basically use one special, then the second and then the first again, so no need to switch weapons mid fight early on to activate it

Another hint. If you're in a village and you're looking for the weapon/armor upgrade benches, they're on the platform under the hot air balloon. It's like that in a few places and it took me way too long to find them lol

#11: If you activate the Levitate psi-power as soon as you touch a mushroom from Fungi biogenetics, you'll be sent a LOT higher, which is useful for traversing some mountainous terrain and even shortcutting to some chests/loot in some high places, like near the "exit" of dungeons (bangshelters, gutways, etc) or above rooftops and on billboards . Combine it with the Helipack and walljumps for maximum performance.

I bought this the other day and I can't put it down. I'm in love with this game yes sometimes the camera view and angles get in the way but I'm going for the platinum trophy on ps5!! Best $40 I've spent! Outpost, bosses, open world, goofy gibberish characters. Crafting, and so much more. Light or dark aura or both, the game is also full of surprises so yeah let's get to it!!!

Just a heads up not sure if its a bug, but you can in fact get the appearance you want in character creation. Just get to the stats page and decide where you are putting them. If you dont like the appearance you get, go back to the race selection shuffle around a bit and then go back to the stats selection and you'll notice your stats/appearance are different now

I paused it halfway through the video to say THIS GAME IS AWESOMEEEEE! Playing the hell out of it and it’s just so damn weird and fun to explore. The positives out way the negatives by a mile in my opinion... hope you all are enjoying it as much as I am

My dude's snout is as long as his sword and tall, because he's a charismatic mercenary.

Fun extra info I learned. While making your character, if you randomize your stats and hear a ding, it changes which face is assigned to which stat.

So many reviewers complained about the frequent narration but didn’t mention you could turn it down.

Loving this game. For a team of just 20 people this game for me is impressive.

tip, you can upgrade your region specific vehicle using the summon menu from inside the vehicle, you don't have to go back to the region's npc to do it same goes for the mounts, once you ride it once you can switch back to it any time

I love that there's loads of things in the game that isn't in your face. When I first ran into mirage it immediately made me want to explore everything. Talk to everyone and wow did it add hours onto my playthrough. Loved it.

what i find out on the dialogue choices - left is dark, right is always light (the tutorial tell us "left can be right sometime" and "right is always right").

My tip: Go into the accessability options and set the QTE to finish automatically. No game should have QTE for looting or opening doors with a crowbar.

I like the fact that u can add a banana as a handle to your weapon during the crafting tutorial. Played for like 3 hours, super fun experience. Thanks for the tips dude.

This would've been a good co op game

Its actually a really good game for me i like the combat and honestly the world being empty in a lot of parts made me relax and i seem to need that some games this days felt like chores and never ending grinds

DARE I say the combat in this is ENJOYABLE 😳

Excellent tips for a new player, I didn't expect them to be that helpful.

incredible game. A little rough around the edges but a solid breath of fresh air.

I'm glad I didn't listen to the bad reviews and actually tried this game for myself! Love it

I got one!! Huge tip below!!! During character creation. You don’t have to have a big headed - high intellect character etc. Example: Say you move the cursor to high intellect then Hit randomize now move the cursor again to high intellect and your character won’t look the same as the first time. Just saying good way to have a cool looking character with different stats right off!

I'm glad so many people seem to be enjoying this. Will definitely give it a go once I have some free time. Shouldn't be much of a gamble thanks to GOG's return policy.

I love the levitate skill, using that with guns is like a life saver. I've been aiming for a luck build, so far at 29% loot chance I've found about 4 legendary pieces, and I am only at level 8. I tend to just scrap all loot though, unless they're fetch me a pretty penny. Those parts make for a good custom gun.

Glad I watched this. I wasn’t happy with the color but didn’t wanna start over.

Watching this while waiting for it to download. I'm hyped.

Ngl I'm glad that people are enjoying the game and supporting the devs. I don't even have the game but hey it makes me glad to see all the support

Think I'm going to get this game. I need some mindless fun.

0:40 Jake’s Canadian roots coming through

I'm looking forward to NG+ but I'm taking in the first play through slow. It's fun af so far

Just got home from work can't wait

I know this doesn't quite help since this video is relatively old, but when choosing stats try to keep all the stats on a number of 10, ex: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50... Doing so will keep your stats looking quite neat, and you can see easier if you fail a persuade check and lose a core stat, so you can reload a prior save.

The cuts of the mutants faces in the face creator are hilarious nightmare fuel

I'm really enjoying this game so far

I got this one yesterday and Ive played the hell out of it, it gives me a mix of Automata + Borderlands 2 vibes, story is lil blegh but I want to craft and explore in this game for a while. I like the combat, it actually gives me a challenge on some of the bigger groups and bosses even on normal. The more skills you learn the more combat can change in a million ways. This game is very dense with the mechanics and menus and takes some patience on that part.

Be careful and save before using mutation pool because there is a game breaking bug that resets your resistances and you lose a bit of crit rate if the bug happens

I like how you Can get a haircut and change your apperance later on in This game but not in cyberpunk ahahah

I absolute adore this game, I can't get enough of it. Big THANK YOU to Experiment 101 for making this game. They did an amazing job, for me Biomutan is 10/10 and I really, really hope there's a sequel. And thank you gameranx, the video is essential since the game can be a little confusing at the beginning.

Almost done downloading it rn. I really wanna try it myself and get a feel for it. I love this style of game and gameplay mechanics look like a good time

Playing a year later game was free for ps5 on ps plus and the upgrade fixes the frame rate and really ups the graphics loving it

Character creation tip: If you dont like how the character looks like when you set your mutate circle, go back and select the same species again. The circle will behave differently.

I bought my daughter this game, turns out she hates it but I love it lol

I feel like the perk for Psi-Freak to make powers crit should be changed to just allow them to crit, then be based off of Luck. Would add more choice and be better than just a flat 10% chance to crit, and that's all you ever get. Scalability of skills and builds is super important in any RPG, and the game needs a lot more of that from what I've seen. Locking things in at a certain power level is just bad. Gear scales up, but powers seem to do much less of that, especially when you have perks like that. All stats should be valid for any class in some capacity.

I'd rather spend full price on a game like which you can tell has passion behind it, no microtransactions, no deluxe editions, is unique and not just part of a cookie franchise with a yearly release, just a pure fun full featured and enjoyable game. I hope to see more indie and AA devs give more like this, because it's definitely better than what these AAA studios are giving us these days.

I just finished the before you buy for it then this is uploaded. Loving the content.

For the "Elemental suits" i highly recommend A. Either just doing every little area you see, i haven't explored all the areas yet about 30-45% and i already have 100% on almost all of the elements naturally, the rest is 100% via armor... or B. use the Outfit menu, it's essentially a "quick" equip. You put your desired armor in those and you can just point and click and tada it's on you. The bad side is that you gotta pay attention what you sell and or scrap because they do not highlight armors that are used in other Quick load outs, but the one that is in use.

I am really enjoying this game it’s very funny and doesn’t take itself to serious! This video will help so much

I havent even played the game yet and want THQ to start making a sequel. Games like this are so creative and unique they NEED to be supported so we get more of them, and better quality ones as well.

It's not exactly what i expected and the combat mechanics seem a little out of date, but I'm really enjoying it now that I've grasped the mechanics. Very unique and reminiscent of Fable.

A thing about character creation I've seen no one mention: If you like a certain head shape but not the body, going back to breed selection and then selecting the same breed, will randomize the heads with the body (for example I had a cute head I like but it was on the strength bulky body, and with this method I was able to get the same head but on the agile tall and slim body, after 3 or 4 going back and forwards in the menu) Just something I think would be useful for the people who love having an aesthetically pleasing character from the get go

Been playing since last night and so far the only thing that gets wonky with me is the combat, especially when I’m hitting enemies and they just ignore my attacks and knock me out of my zone. I love this atmosphere and tone of the game. Story isn’t most solid thing in the world, to me it kinda jumps all over the place at times but for what this game is I really love it.

The game world is absolutely massive, and you being 2 feet tall makes it seem so much bigger 😂

I been playing this game and it’s great don’t listen to these reviews play it for your self

When choosing stats you can go back and re enter for different body types. Also randomizing may also change body types for your specified stat.

I turned up the narrator to 75! I love it. Makes the experience less lonely and it reminds me of Little Big Planet, which was one of my favorite games as a kid.

I love this game, it's so good and who else is a Mercenary and what tips you got?

The way this game is sounding ima hold off on watching this and just wait to play it haha need all the surprises i can get

The mutagenic pool I found to change appearance also reset my resistance. I noticed I had 8 points back when I changed appearance and my resistance which was 89% prior was at 10%.

been playing a few hours. so far i love the narrator aside the fact I had a string of him mentioning to go out and do the story in different passive-aggressive ways while I was running around Suburbia collecting items. aside that i liked his little quips

Here is a piece of advice for those who are on the fence bc they read a negative review of the game. BE YOUR OWN JUDGE! this is literally the point of these videos to help YOU make the decision for YOURSELF. Just bc some journalist “gamer” didn’t like the game for whatever reason does not mean you will dislike it as well. I think this game will end up being an underrated hit you will either really enjoy it and want more of the game or you won’t. It is good fun, a solid enjoyable RPG and an excellent foundation for the future of this game and dev studio. All imo of course. Happy gaming everyone!

As a frenchspeaking lad, you pronounce "saboteur" weirdly, try this: sabotuuuuurrrrr! :D

The tribe weapon's are apparently bugged, as you are meant to be able to acquire all of the weapons you didn't get when ending the war early, since you have free roam in all the bases.

Thank you guys, was trying to figure out what resistance to start with. Was going to leave it at 5% everything because I wasn’t sure but I’m gonna go 25% bio.

ive seen a lot of negative feedback on this game but i must say, not of that has discouraged me to buy it. this game looks fun and adventerous. going out of the norm and taking the risk of something is not always a good thing, but this seriously looks fun. it'd be fun if they made it a multiplayer down the line. being able to conquest other tribes with the homies would be seriously fun.

Despite the mixed reviews, I'm really enjoying this game personally!

You can wall clutch in this game if you jump and run into a wall and quickly jump again (without doing double jump) you can scale mountains without having to go around them. Also the levitation psi power is really useful for defeating enemies that tunnel underground for attacks as you can shoot them from the air before they tunnel. If you dismantle the Old World weapons and add them to your own weapon you can make more powerful versions of those weapons because some parts in the game are more powerful than the legendary class parts

This game was a blast to play, this video just popped up and now I'm considering a replay of the game

10+ hours in, and so far, i'm having a blast.

Imma have to try this one out. It's been a pretty dry first half of 2021

A small tip, if a merchant has an item or addon but only has one to sell, you can save then load and it will restock the merchant's stock. Useful if they have legendary addons or armor you want multiples of.

Fun game but the beginning was overwhelming with all the customization, stats, breeds, etc... But the cool thing is I think it'll have some replay value to try different classes / breeds. The story, narration, and style are a little kiddy and weird (reminds me of old rareware games like conkers bad fur day or banjo kazooie) but it is alot of fun! I think I'll be putting some hours into this one

i'm enjoying this game!

Yeahhh I wish I watched this earlier, I did the option to end the tribe war early not knowing it wouldn’t give me the tribal weapons of those left over :(

Some great tips! I just started playing the game (it was in a PlayStation Stars mission) and have been enjoying it quite a bit.

“Giant panda guy”... that’s some very otter looking pandas you got in your local zoo my guy

I'm just tied between getting this or Scarlett nexus both look great

I'm absolutely loving the game so far

I can honestly say I love playing this game and look forward to some DLC. I'm still pretty far in the beginning. I've died one time so far and that was from the freezing biome. I've been doing nothing but side quest. One area at a time which seems to be a lot. When I tell you the side quests are plentiful 🥰. I haven't done the main mission except to open the boat and robot (not the correct names).

If you choose to avoid the main quest and just do all the side stuff and explore the open world it can be a really fun game how you can just stumble across stuff that is not marked on your map and some of the stuff you find is amazing

Can you do a before you buy on rust console edition i will like to see your opinions on it

About to start my playthrough, pretty excited.

When you are on the balance rope just move forward and keep jumping you wont fall off and womt lose your balance makes it much easier to traverse

This was super helpful, thanks Jake🥰🥰

I like this game a lot. Im now 6h in and it is real fun. People should give it a try

I'm enjoying the game just started. Im usually fine with the tutorials

Best game Ive played in a while. I like how creative you can be in customizing and developing your rodent. The whole setting is cool as well. I dont regret buying it and unfortunately thats not often the case.

You can have multiple preset outfits so you can quick swap between the biohazard suit and regular gear. The biohazard suit is easy to get and allows you top easily farm biopoints in order to up your resistance so you don't need the suit! So basically use the suit so you don't have too !

Switching clothes is not a pain, unless you missed the Outfits menu. Still better to go for full resistance, but yeah, changing clothes is easier in this game than in most others.
