    The 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

    Elex is a Gothic-Game for better or for worse. And that makes it difficult to review, because what some people view as features of this game, other would view as severe flaws. That's why I'll simply give you an impression what you are signing up for:

    Long story short: yes, this is Gothic 2, with all of its pluses and minuses. And I mean ALL of them.

    If you haven't played Gothic before and are trying to decide whether to grab this game or not, you should understand what Piranha Bytes games are and, more importantly, what they are not. Speaking generally, despite having dialogue choices, character progression and inventory management,    Long story short: yes, this is Gothic 2, with all of its pluses and minuses. And I mean ALL of them.

    If you haven't played Gothic before and are trying to decide whether to grab this game or not, you should understand what Piranha Bytes games are and, more importantly, what they are not. Speaking generally, despite having dialogue choices, character progression and inventory management, I wouldn't call ELEX an RPG in the same sense as, for instance, Pillars of Eternity or Divinity: Original Sin. Mechanics of ELEX are much more straightforward, the stamina-based action combat is simpler and easier to understand, the conversation options are mostly limited to either accepting quests or rejecting them, leaving no room for a philosophical debate akin to Planescape: Torment.

    No, the real backbone of ELEX is its sense of adventure and real, hand-crafted world to explore. The game doesn't feature randomly generated items or level scaling for enemies, meaning that everything and everyone you meet out there is hand-placed by the developers. This, in turn, means that no matter at which point of the game you currently are, you're free to use your skills and speed to discover and loot whatever you fancy. Fall down a pit and emerge with a hefty pouch of coins, explore the dried well and find a forgotten sword stuck in a stone, fly to the top of a cliff and be rewarded with a valuable amulet that'll increase your abilities - all of this feels extremely satisfying, because it gives you a real advantage in both conversations and combat. Since the content always remains set, every small item you get, every little thing you find brings you one step closer to achieving the heights of your power.

    Speaking of heights, I can't help but ask myself whether it's ever a bad idea to include a jetpack in your game, because you'd better bloody believe it makes the world of ELEX so much more enjoyable to traverse. Can't win a fight? Fly to the top of the nearest cliff and flip your opponent a bird. Want to check an interesting spot far away on the map? There will definitely be a way to get there without putting yourself in mortal danger. Love to chill and enjoy the scenery? ELEX has plenty of vantage points for you somewhere up top. It feels good. It feels right.

    Anyway, the worst thing I can think of about this game is getting used to it. Even in the days of Gothic, the control scheme and clunkiness of movement took me several hours to get accustomed to. I suppose that's just the way Piranha Bytes operates - the movement feels a bit heavy and carries a certain amount of momentum, and that is true for both exploring and fighting. However, once you put an hour or two into ELEX, this won't be a problem anymore, and you'll be able to enjoy the game to its fullest.

    And there's plenty to enjoy even without venturing to the farthest points of the vast world, because every NPC you meet will most likely greet you with not just one, but two or more tasks to handle. Earning their trust to eventually join a faction is also a trademark of Gothic, and this just makes the characters you meet more believable and likeable.

    In the end, I think ELEX is not a game for everybody, because some of its aspects could definitely use improvements, and it's not even that polished yet - I had the game crash on me twice during the first two hours of playtime. However, for those of you who are sick of the silly open worlds a-la Ubisoft that somehow found its way into so many modern games (sorry, Geralt, but I don't feel that destroying my 837-th drowners' nest only to find a chest with useless loot counts as a good exploration experience), ELEX will be a welcome relief.    … Expand

    What the heck? How is this a 7 rating? This is the worst rpg I have played in the last 5 years. I couldn't even finish it because the fighting is so boring and repetitive. The game lacks any character. There is too much repetition, too few combat options, very bad movement, and oh my god the inventory... Stay away unless you like generic copy paste RPG's.

    Elex 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... ;)

    Il 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.

    - UI

    For what it lacks in polish it gives back in story, nostalgia, writing, and general role-playing experience. If you can get past the old school RPG feel (or even enjoy that) then you're in for a fun surprise. It won't be GOTY, but it's a nice refresher.    … Expand

    People say the the combat system is janky, but the truth is once your character becomes stronger later in the game, the combat system actually becomes much more enjoyable. The reason it feels so janky in the beginning is because #1 PB does a horrible job at explaining the combo system #2 they dont give you enough stamina to even use the combat system as its meant to be used #3 the enemies can kill you in 2 hits. and #4 the animations are meh (which is hard to get used to). That is where PB truly screwed themselves over.
    I truly hope they release some patches that balance the game early on, because as it is now, doing missions and fighting enemies is absurdly difficult early on (even on easy mode), to the point where you really cant even fight enemies, in fact 9 times out of 10 you have to avoid them at all costs to even have a hope at progressing. they also seriously need to fix the companion AI, its atrocious.
    A few more tidbits. When it comes to leveling up, stats dont make you stronger. Buying skills from trainers, and better weapons from traders is what truly "levels you up" and improves your combat capabilities. stats only effect what weapons and skills you can buy. so dont expect to get strong just from leveling your stats alone (unless you get skills and weapons, you will still get two shot in edan even if all your stats are 50)
    Lastly now is what i love about the game. Each faction is like a different story, so its pretty much like being able to play a completely different game 4 times, which is awesome.
    Each faction has interesting characters, histories, and conflicts, which adds a lot of depth to the game. The world is huge and diverse, you can easily just run around and explore for hours on end. The companions are hit and miss, but a couple are very interesting and good to have around. While the graphics are admittedly weak, the world itself is quite beautiful. There is well over 100 hours of play time in this game, and once you get past the annoying beginning, it becomes extremely immersive and enjoyable. And lastly YOUR CHOICES ACTUALLY MATTER IN THIS GAME. finally a modern rpg game got that right.
    Do i recommend this game? yes, but only to fans of rpg games. but i would encourage people who are uncertain to wait for a few patches to be released (or maybe even a price drop).
    I will say to uncertain people, this game is well worth it once you get past the opening areas, and thats coming from someone who's never really enjoyed any other PB game he's played. Consider it. (My score of 8 for this game is totally subjective due to the level of enjoyment i personally got out of it. I understand it has technical issues such as looking like an xbox 360 game, pathetic ai, etc. but i was able to look past that and truly love it for what it is, and i feel that many other rpg fans will be able to enjoy it as well)    … Expand

For a small game with a few active players, there are too many reviews and lot of new accounts that seem to only review this companies games, and of course all the scores are 9s and 10s. They are likely paying for these reviews or they are reviewing it themselves to keep the score high. Dont be fooled. This game, at best is a 4/10 and that is generous. Its generic and very shallow.
    My score is heavily weighted on the combat portion of gameplay. Combat is terrible. Further, this game is designed for console and not the PC. The way movement is designed is better suited for a analog controller with 4 buttons. The console style camera is absolutely atrocious. Its clearly meant to address the limitations of a console but the bottom line is that when youre in combat, you arent really fighting enemies, you are fighting the camera. If you can fight in an area where there is little movement, then no problem, but forget any sort of tactics or thinking outside the box because the camera will get you killed. In fact, if not for the camera, I probably would have never died in this game. Of course you can always cheese your way through the game from range but want to know how many arrows it takes to kill a random animal? Try over 150 for some lame raptors and thats on normal difficulty. If you set it to the highest difficulty, you are looking at 400+ arrows to kill 1 enemy using your level 1-6 bow.

    Graphics: Are a mixed bag. Some stuff looks good like vegetation and architecture but some stuff looks pretty bad like faces, creatures and water. I mean... the water looks like it came from a 90s Tomb Raider game.

    Combat: Terrible with no redeeming qualities and shameful for a real time action based game. They fans call it "difficult" but if you read my other reviews I give examples of difficult vs bad design. This is bad design. For one thing, they decided on a demon souls style movement scheme which means that you move like a 60 ton tank rather than a human (except when you use the jet pack...). Luckily there are not as many camera collisions making movement slightly better than demon souls but this is still completely artificial handicap and it distracts from game immersion. It has some environmental problem such as slow pivots and at times a little pebble mound in the ground can cause collisions preventing you from moving. When you execute a move, you have to wait for wind ups which is fine but the problem is that most enemies do not have this problem which means you are being crippled simply to balance the game. When you hit things, it has little to no weight despite the long wind up. For instance you can do a power attack against an enemy and it will not phase it in the least and it will continue through its own attack as if nothing happened. Its the same with you, you can be flying and when you get hit it seemingly just passes through you and you feel no impact. Then there is the invisible hit box which appears to be huge for you but fine for the enemies. For instance, an enemy will swing and even though I am clearly 3-5 feet out of their reach, they still hit you. This makes it hard to get immersed into a battle since contact is not respected. From what I can tell in the 1st 15 hours of the game, there are only 2 attacks, a light fast attack and a heavy attack. You can also finish a 2 hit combo with a special attack which always seems to be the same. Ranged attacks are clumsy which is fine but I hate (loathe) the auto-aim feature that happens you take aim (it actually messes up my shots more than it helps since it does not seem to take into account physics). All in all, combat is terrible which is too bad since the rest of the game is actually ok.

    Quests: Are not bad. Many complain about dialog but the time I spent in the Berserkers camp was actually good. The quest givers have good voice acting (most of the time) and a lot of what was said was reasonable in the context of the game. There were few MMO style collect 20x of this but the few that did exist were extremely boring and cumbersome. One required you to harvest 50 plants which was not fun. 10 would have been more than enough. But again, quests and quest givers were not bad overall and the factions were not as clearly defined as their laws state. For example, even though the Berserkers are supposed to be the faction that cares about people, some are actually corrupt and others go outside the laws seemingly regularly. But in the end this is no Witcher as characters were not as interesting and a lot of interactions were comically unreasonable.

    Since combat is the most important part of the game for me, and the combat aspects of the game are very poorly designed, I had to pull the score for this game way down to reflect the fact that I did not enjoy the 1st 15 hours at all. Definitely wait for a steep discount before buying. Im sure you will see this for about $10-$20 by years end so dont rush    … Expand

    Elex 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.

    A 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.

    Although 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]
