  The art style of Mutazione does shine, relying on a mostly-flat shaded cartoon style that foregoes dark outlines around most shapes. The style really pops on some of the mutated cast, in particular Tung, whom I would absolutely put up a poster of.

  Mutazione proved to be an unbelievably zen experience that I haven’t enjoyed since I last played Spiritfarer, which, considering how much I loved that game, is pretty high praise. There are a lot of deeper themes and metaphors throughout it. Tending to one’s garden isn’t just meant in the physical sense, but spiritually as well. If you’re looking for a feel-good casual gaming experience to shut off your brain and get lost in, give this one a try.

  Mutazione is a feel-good narrative adventure that will remind you of the importance of love and family, though with minimal gameplay to master, the experience will appeal mainly to those looking for a poignant, character-driven story.

  7.8

  All in all, Mutazione is a decent story-driven game with adventure elements. It throws you in the rich storyline of the island Mutazione and the family of Kai which makes you want to play and know more. The art style is bold and brings the game to life in a lot of ways. Without making it boring, the game manages to maintain relaxing gameplay. If we have to be nitpicky there are still some elements that they can be improved like the lack of voice-acting the game currently has.

  Mutazione only took four or five hours to complete, but every moment spent with it was magical. From its extraordinary and beautiful landscape to its ordinary tales of life, love and loss, I was enraptured from start to finish. Every character you meet has a story to tell, and they’re stories you’ll want to hear. From its wonderful art style to its expertly-mixed audio design, it’s clear to see so much love has gone into this game. Mutazione may only be a short experience, but it’s one that feels very special.

  9.0

  Initially pitched as a farming game, Mutazione is far more interesting as a mutant soap opera. This is one of the warmest, most likable cast of characters you will come across in a video game, and you’ll want to relish every moment with them. Key into its languid pace, ignore the lack of traditional gameplay, and you will find a chilled vibe that is hard to beat.
