As noted, Biomutant doesn't go the atypical route of a player-character slowly-but-surely making sense of the world around them. Piecing together why such a once-prosperous/possibly-utopian world crumbled in such a fashion. There are suggestions to some past era here, but the game's take on ruin is more akin to something like NieR: Automata -- floral nature in its many shades of green, melding with the gritty, hollowed-out semblance to some technologically-competent period of yonder. The former, as a result, gives Biomutant a welcome jolt of artistic vibrancy. Even amidst the high-pace antics of its combat, where a player's self-created mutant-creature fends off a group of other similarly-oddball foes with their own weapons and strategy to match. While one could essentially lump these designs together as mere animalistic -- albeit, animal-like with a greater degree of intelligence -- the game carries with it that children's story-like semblance of innocence. Albeit one twisted, turned upside down, by the premise on show -- a world on the brink of collapse, the planet's great world tree suffering due to corruption from an emerging, once-sealed away poison.
