The value story

The value story

40 discounts in the 6 years on record, a median of 67 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 84 percent. Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen ($29.99, scores 76) outscores it, and so does Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning ($39.99, scores 44). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

More about BIOMUTANT

Steam's global achievement data puts about 13 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 13-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 799 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 27 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written February 2024 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,872 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 273 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 30 percent of the 2,270 reviews written there were positive, against 66 percent overall, and those are 17 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 13 hours. Doing everything runs 42, 3.3 times as long.

What players say

I've returned 5 years after release to play it again. Doing so has been on my mind for quite a while now, but I just couldn't find the time. I understand that this game is "special" in all of this word's meanings. To me, it's positively special. I like the general idea behind the game, the story, the slightly comic-y graphics and the commentator. It's an overall nicely mixed experience between funny, enjoyable...

The silly names became too annoying to overlook, but the rest of the game felt fine or a bit unpolished at worst.
