Biomutant devs say patch will improve basically everything that's bad

Whatever thing you don't like about Biomutant is probably getting patched, according to the devs' giant list of plans

Biomutant review here. Suffice to say the game was a disappointment, and the devs are working on a big patch to address many of the complaints.

"We are working on an update for Biomutant which we will hope to get into players' hands soon," the devs say in a tweet. "Most likely we will be able to deliver the update to PC platforms first and then to consoles. The update will include bug fixes and changes based on community ."

The list of issues the devs are looking at is, uh, ambitious, to say the least. "We are working on the pacing of dialogues, narrator settings, difficulty settings, video settings like depth of field and motion blur, loot and enemy tuning as well as sound and combat."

I mean, if you fix the combat, enemy tuning, loot drops, and story pacing, Biomutant could be pretty good - but it's also going to be a fundamentally different game if those issues are 'fixed' to a point we might consider 'good'. I wouldn't expect a single patch to go that far, but hey, maybe the devs are planning to stick with it for months and years. (They've certainly already spent a long time with the game.)

Smaller tweaks to allow new settings and tune the gameplay would certainly improve the game, but Biomutant's flaws are substantially deeper than that.
