Not only is Mutant Year Zero aware of its limitations in terms of budget, scope, and narrative ambition but it excels with everything it has to offer. From the motion-graphic cinematic sequences, to the in-game chatter and banter, to the engaging tutorial that showcases the blend of turn-based tactics, exploration, story, and adventure. Even core mechanics like stealth take on an immersive quality thanks to the interplay with the impressive lighting and animated fog-effects that highlight the beautiful eeriness of the opening over-grown forest meets suburbia environments.
