Oct 18, 2017You have to play a good amount of time to really get a feeling for why its so great.
If you liked the Gothic or Risen Series this feels like home.
Also no DLC pre-order and season pass crap like most AAA Games have. -

Oct 18, 2017Elex is good. Not every game can offer you so many options.
This game is too hard for casuls, if you are trying to play it with one hand, while holding beer in another one, it won't work.
Git gud or don't touch it. -
Oct 25, 2017Perfect example if a company has no money to pay the "professional" jurnalists to write a positive critic.
This one is a fkin superb game, great story, uniqe fighting system, interesting world, infinite things to explore.
Ignore the trolls, play this gem, make 100+ hours great journey. -
Oct 17, 2017I liked game's vaste open world, story and RPG system, graphics is neat. it's not the best like in AAAAA-games there, but igood enough for RPG games, despite the haters here. So far I can recommend the game for RPG fans and for those who enjoyed gothic series before.

Oct 18, 2017Best RPG I've played in for a loooong time. Action, conversations, stealing, exploration - it has it all, and everything is made very well. Engaging as hell! =)

Oct 19, 2017Наконец-то достойная внимания рпг) Ощущения будто проходишь любимую готику 2 в новом сеттинге и хорошей графикой.

Nov 1, 2017Do not listen crap reviewers! The game is FANTASTIC! Do you like old school rpg like Gothic? This game is for you! And advice to crappy-reviewers who says that graphics are mediocre - go play **** and ****

Oct 17, 2017Game is soo VERY GOOD.. I`m fan Gothic and very love game PB.. Elex have great world, Dialogs, quests, subquests and other good elements. Combat and explorations is good
-
Oct 17, 2017Story, dialogues, characters, world, exploration, climate, soundtrack and quests are incredibly good and enticing. Fight, animation and graphics are average. I recommend to everybody who likes great stories.

-No PreOrder Bonus
-No 69,99 full price
-Sympathetic not money grubbing developer studio from Germany
Bye the way the game is also good XD -
Sep 15, 2019I'm in love with this game. It has its problems but at the end its great experience and adventure. Fantastic exploration! Maybe too much styles mixed together in one game. Should have better main story but roleplaying aspect and replayability is strong in this game. Very enjoyable. You should definitely try it!

Oct 17, 2017Huge, open, detailed world to explore with many secrets to discover. Interesting post-apo/sci-fi/fantasy setting - sometimes stupid, sometimes funny. Fine combat system - much better than Gothic/Risen. Many quests with plot, not only "bring X this to Y NPC"x100. Typical Piranha Bytes game. For me it's GOTY 2017 in RPG category.
-
Oct 17, 2017That's deep.
The developer sure has good hands.
I will have fun this weekend playing this masterpiece.
Haters gonna hate.
Yes, I am bad at writing reviews. -
Oct 17, 2017Game play on PC are more better, then on PS4, you need to play this game, lore are best since Gothic 3. Uniquely, if you want to play this game, try it first on PC, not on PS4.
-
Oct 17, 2017then the feeling when you are destroyed by a chicken, as long as you stick to the menu and do not expect trouble. 10/10 about God 10/10
but seriously, this is not an ideal game, but in 2017 role-playing games were simply not better, so it is one-to-one, for all fans of role-playing games -
Oct 17, 2017Game looks really great, everything is awesome! Love Piranha Bytes games. 10/10
You just must play this game, and then you understand why its so good! -
Oct 17, 2017Best game from PB since Gothic 2! The world design is as perfect as always, the story and characters are great. The new setting just works really fine and the mechanics are okay. The combat is challenging but fun, the music is nearly as great as Kai Rosenkranz. Im glad i bought this game:)
-
Oct 17, 2017Piranha Bytes game detected - 10/10 for a fan, 0/10 for regular player. The game is far from perfect, the same problems as before, but lore+quest+unique gothic style = 10!
-
Oct 17, 2017Its by any means not a bug free and the animations are not that good but the Feeling to interact with the game is just amazing. If you wander by NPCs they react to you and the beautiful created landscape makes it wonderful to explore every bit of the huge World. and discover many hidden treasures.
-
Oct 17, 2017Best RPG 2017, Good story with consequences on player choices, unique setting and game mechanics. Characters are interesting and fascinating. Combat, lvling and exploring the world feels very rewarding.
-
Oct 27, 2017The dense, atmospheric world got me all in once. The sci-fi fantasy setting is refreshing and innovative, a world build from scratch with a lot of lifeblood. There may be flaws to the technical aspects of the game, but the quests & story in combination with the atmosphere is so much more worth to play

Oct 18, 2017Perfect game. Mostly see criticisms of difficulty. Get,over it and enjoy this rpg, more,indepth than skyrim. Most wont get it, most wont enjoy it, find by me. PB is a small team that,knows how to make a hardcore rpg. Casual/everyday gamer beware. Looks better,on pc of course.
-
Oct 19, 2017This is a game for Gothic fans, and I am certainly that. It's getting a 10 because it's quickly becoming my GOTY 2017.
Exploration in a huge beautifully crafted world, character progression, equipment progression, trainers, skill system, faction system, challenge! These are all reasons why ELEX is excellent. -

Oct 20, 2017Finally, first RPG after Witcher 3 that drew my attention for more than 2 hours, for sure I will finish this game. Great story building, amazing world, janky combat that becomes great once you realize it behaves like a real-life turn based fighting

Oct 26, 2017Powrót do czasów Gothica 1, z większym rozmachem ;]
Dla wszystkich fanów Gothica polecam, dla pozostałych, nie spisujcie tej gry, tak szybko na stracenie! -
Oct 26, 2017I'm just wondering why those who are not RPG players would buy and review this game.
All these complains about graphics, animations and controls and not a single word from characters, skills, quests, story and decisions.
I grew up playing Gothic and Morrowind, so I'm not looking for some fancy graphics or an easy game, this ELEX is my heart's desire after all these years. -

Oct 26, 2017-+ Grafik OK aber nicht High End (wie zu erwarten bei einem so kleinen Studio)
-- Kampfsystem sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig
+ schöne offene aber trozdem reichlich detaillierte und liebevoll gefüllte Spielwelt
++ gegner leveln nicht mit
+++ extrem geile Dialoge -

Oct 26, 2017Gothicシリーズの正当進化版といった感じで、グラフィックが良くなっている以外は同じような操作や世界が広がっていてそれだけで嬉しいです。緊張感もあって楽しい~懐かしい感じがします。

Oct 26, 2017Старая добрая Готика, со всеми вытекающими плюсами и минусами. Как домой вернулся!
Пираньи, просто спасибо, что вы вернулись. -
Oct 26, 2017Из серии Risen не зацепила ни одна игра. И вот, несмотря на необычный сеттинг, я могу с уверенностью сказать, что перед нами достойный наследник Готики.
Фанатам рекомендуется к покупке. -

Oct 27, 2017Piranie przez te wszystkie lata robią za każdym razem gry niemal identyczne i zawierające te same błędy...
Fanom Gothica czy Risena polecam z czystym sumieniem reszcie pewnie nie przypadnie do gustu ta drewniana walka czy ogólnie same animacje...
ps po niecałych trzech godzinach wpadł mi "acziwek" za 80 godzin gry... -
Oct 27, 2017"Du hast dich für den schwereren Weg entschieden"

Oct 27, 2017Игра затягивает своим миром, сложностью и продуманностью в мелочах. Есть косяки, но в целом, для меня Elex это игра на уровне второй Готики.. Респект Пираньям и спасибо за вовзращение после Ризенов.

Oct 27, 2017Fani Gothica i Risen znajdą w tej grze najlepsze jak i najgorsze cechy wcześniejszych produkcji PB, ale co z tego, skoro gra wciąga jak bagno? Faktycznie nie jest to ideał, ale nie za to Gothic 1 ma do dziś fanów i zapaleńców a ta gra może być własnie takim "nowy" Gothiciem :)

Oct 27, 2017Il gioco sarebbe divertente se si riuscisse ad equilibrare le abilità dell' alter ego dal momento che queste risultano essere insufficienti rispetto alla forza dei nemici. Inoltre è complicato esplorare l'ambiente circostante a causa dei nemici troppo forti che rendono impossibile il volersi unire alle fazioni di interesse per poter vivere l'evolversi della storia del gioco.

Oct 27, 2017Зашел не туда - получил п@@ды
Ответил не так в диалоге - получил п@@ды
Попросил бармена угощать клан алкоголем - получил п@@ды
Просто бежал и случайно кувыркнулся - от высоты получил п@@ды
Всё как в готике! Мне нравится :3 -
Oct 27, 2017Elex is a typical Piranha Bytes game with all their strenghts and weaknesses. It might lack polish and might not look up-to-date, but after a while it opens up and you can experience an unique open world like only Piranha Bytes can create them... ;)

Oct 28, 2017Better than fallout 4 by a long shot. Its hard and the gameplay/world/storyline is original...........................................................
-
Oct 28, 2017Amazing game, well not easy, sometimes hard, many stories in stories hidden around, and hours of roaming just for fun.
Some minor bugs, melee combat is a little confusing on beginning, rest is awesome.
10/10 in mine personal rpg pantheon. -

-
Oct 29, 2017Classic PB game in the vein of Gothic. They've improved a lot of their systems, but I wouldn't expect anything ground breaking or new in the term of open world RPGs. It is a solid, relatively well put together game with a decent story and a strong difficulty level.

Feb 2, 2018Elex is a hard game to genuinely recommend, it does so many important things to only an acceptable level or worse. It's a game that's carried based on the strength of its quest design, or more pessimistically, one that's let down by a general lack of polish and uninteresting combat. It feels like a nice refreshing counterpart to some modern rpgs that treat their quest lists more like chores, but as a complete package, it falls disappointingly short.
-
Jan 2, 2018A flawed jewel. Beneath its layers a sophisticated game is hidden, created with love yet with bugs and poor technical design. The game mechanics are the top, but they are nowadays detrimental. Whoever wants to find a treasure in Elex, must try very hard.
-
Game World Navigator MagazineDec 30, 2017Although dialogue writers were burning the midnight oil, the team responsible for combat was obviously slacking off and did nothing to really improve that mess of a close combat which ELEX inherited from Risen. Monster fights are as choppy, unnatural and buggy as ever, for example, enemies slide right up a steep slope if they happen to dodge in that direction. [Issue#225, p.68]
