   Meilleur rpg au quel j'ai pu joué depuis skyrim. Dans ce jeu tu fais partie de l'univers et tu ne le survoles pas. Les dialogues sont la clé du jeu

   Best rpg from PB since Risen 1 imo. This is improved in every aspect from the first Elex except for performance which is worse. Combat isBest rpg from PB since Risen 1 imo. This is improved in every aspect from the first Elex except for performance which is worse. Combat is vastly improved, Amazing exploration, jetpack is improved and the graphics are slightly improved.
   
   Give it a try, there might be some jank as always with PB but this is there best game in years.… Expand

But if you don't top-notch graphics and can enjoy a game, where you have to dig in a bit before it get's great, have a look at it. Some say combat is "clunky" or whatever, but you'll get used to it quickly. If you like games like Gothic, Risen or even the Fallout-Series, ELEX II might be a game for you.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I`ve ijust finshed this game after 52 hours so I can sumarise my experience with it
   alot of content
   +some parts of story are really flashed out, loved fort and berserkers quests where you help out cultivators, get to know many people in fort and thier little strugles, the whole area feels alive and detailed.
   
   -unfortunately other factions bases and quests arent nearly as detailed or rich so I was quite a bit underwhelmed by them, I really hoped all will be as good as fort/berserkers and it would be a 10/10 game for me
   
   +graphics are good enough
   -optimization is pretty bad, on 1080ti in 1440p ultra Ive got around 40 fps in cities but luckly while exploring its often over 60
   
   -later part of the game when you focus on finishing main story start to be a slog with a lot of main missions being like kill 100 mutants, kill 100 skyanids etc. Boring and repetetive.
   
   Overall it`s descent 7/10 game but really for firsts 20 hours while I was doing fort/berserkerers quests it was awesome 10/10 game so it`s sad piranha didnt menage to keep the quality even thru whole game.… Expand

   They had more than 4 years to work on this, a bigger budget and more support from the Publisher... and this is it? A game that reuses 70% ofThey had more than 4 years to work on this, a bigger budget and more support from the Publisher... and this is it? A game that reuses 70% of the assets from the previous one but manages to have even less content. Yes, there are more factions now, but they are mostly a variation of the first 3. Morkons are just Clerics without the cool technology stuff. Albs are just Clerics with autism. Berzerkers went from Viking hippies to just hippies and the Outlaws are just as useless as in the first game. Magic seems to also be useless, at least for the Berzerker faction, as most guns you will get will deal more damage by the time you advance well enough into the game to get magic. Also, there seems to be fewer weapons than in the first game, so no more cool stuff like the Flamethrower or Chainswords.
   
   Story and Dialog are also pretty bad. The storyline of the first Elex was not what pretentious game journalists would call the "Citizen Kane of Gaming" but I liked it. The premise of bringing together Traditionalists, Anarchists and the Religious to fight a Collectivist metahuman faction that seeks to transform and homogenize the entire planet is not something you see in most AAA games, where stories seem to be specifically made for Twitter feminists and redditors. In Elex 2 you'll be doing mostly the same thing, only without the few interesting bits of the Original. Also, Jax is so whiny and annoying and now he has a stupid kid and a nagging ex wife to deal with. I guess this is PB's idea of an emotional core. Also quest design is even worse than the first game. This is Gothic 3 level of fetch/kill quests, I think even modern MMOs have better design.
   
   On the gameplay side, it still sucks. A minor improvement for the Malee combat, but still bad even compared to other mediocre AA games like Greedfall. Ranged is still OP, like in most PB games, but the newly-includded flying enemies are the worst thing I've seen in a game latelly. Not only are they small and have smaller hitboxes, but they also move around so fast that you can barelly hit. They are more annoying than challenging.
   
   Lastly, performance is attrocious. I don't have a monster PC, but still the framerates are so low for a game that looks like it was made in 2010 on a low budget.
   
   Are there good things? Sure. The environment and world design still look great. Exploration is still fun and can be rewarding and the Jetpack upgrade system is pretty neat. But this is just not enough. I was a big Pyranha Bytes fanboy and even I can't recommend this. If you really need your Gohic fix you should tryChronicles of Myrtana: Archolos instead.… Expand

   Optimization is terrible. Piranha bytes are stuck in 1998. What a shame. Simply trash
