Biomutant beginner’s guide, tips, and tricks
Biomutant is a role-playing game where your experience tends to be differentiated more by character alignment rather than by their build of attributes and gear. The first two hours of Biomutant onboard the player to the world’s lore; its combat, crafting, and other systems; and then send them off on their first main mission.
This Biomutant beginner’s guide will help you understand the game’s story, the ethos that informs the choices you have to make, and the initial choices themselves, so that you can shape your character and your story in a sensible way.

A character’s aura — whether they have a light or a dark side to their behavior — is a key distinction of Biomutant. Not only do the choices you make push this aura toward lightness or darkness, but your dialogue responses affect it more subtly, too.
NPC dialogue also changes based on your aura, as it changes what in-world characters expect from you. But a good rule of thumb, when presented with a choice, is that the option or dialogue on the left expresses your dark side, and the option to the right is the light side.
