    Jocul merită banii. Este posibil ca grafica să nu fie bună, dar lumea din jur este magnifică. Interfața nu este cea mai bună, ați putea face mai bine. Este foarte asemănătoare cu cea a lui Gothic 2, în special paladinul lui Lothar, care spune că nu ești cetățean, dar în Elex nici măcar nu ești agricultor))).

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

    Combat is weird, I average about a crash an hour, graphics are alright, overall i think they tried to incorporate too much stuff into this game without refining any of it. It's still somewhat fun but I would not recomend paying full price for it, I'd wait a few years and wait for the price to go down.

    Elex is a really really really dull and tedious "Gothic like" game, that is very very inferior to old Gothic games. Ironically its bad game on all fronts, except graphics: contrary to most reviewers graphics are quite good. Its a bad game no doubts about it and it won't be fixed by PB or fans ever, its beyond fixing. Game is worth maybe score of 4, but for PB game it is total ZERO trash.

    Had to retract a point because its incredibly buggy. Quests get stuck so i can't advance. Honestly, i want to like this game. The setting seems interesting.

    Honestly, i want to like this game. The setting seems interesting. I'm a fan of Gothic 3 through and through. But i also thought some mechanisms from Gothic needed an overhaul. Sadly it has not happened. You're still stuck having to grind for exp so you can spend it on a teachable skill, so you can be able to grind some more, get another teachable skill and so on. It's not streamlined well. I often have my character die because everything seems to be stronger than me. I don't mind difficulty, but i prefer a gradual increase. They could've fixed this in Risen or Risen 2, but no they're just too stubborn.

    And whoever says that the fight system is good is a greasy fat liar. It exists, sure, but it's unforgiving at best, and at worst completely broken. Hitboxes are completely broken, sometimes the timing of attacks changes, it's awfully bugged. I liked the idea of fantasy meets tech, but its been done better in other games. It's not as interesting as advertised. The graphics look old. Like 2005 old. Sure the models are somewhat better than older games, but the textures leave a lot to be desired.

    The story is boring, nothing you haven't seen before. It's not awful but with all the information thrown at you it's really easy to get lost in nonsense.

    If you want to play a good game, play Gothic 3 Gold. It's everything this game aspires to be, only better and with a somewhat clearer context of story. Elex on the other hand feels rushed, boring and predictable. And Piranha Bytes should know better by now.

    PS. Also a lot of "bought" reviews in here. Many of the high grades are made by new members with only one review. Don't get why they bothered, it's not that bad, and this won't make it any better.    … Expand

    Минусы:
    - Может быть атмосфера уже не та, а может и мне уже не 15, но готика погружала в свой мир значительней. Это даже не минус этой игре, а большой плюс Готике.
    - Боёвка, вертикальное движение в игре.
    - Графика
    - Однотипные строения и нпс.
    - Кружки, кружки, кружки, повсюду кружки! Задача игры, видимо была, раскидать по миру "КРУЖКИ", которые везде, и ты,♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ боялся лутать из-за кружек уже.
    - Неудобная система инвентаря и трейда.

    Плюсы:
    + За минимальный бюджет - хорошая игра, надо это понимать.
    + Открытый мир. Можешь с первых 10 минут идти на все 4 стороны - это нормально.
    + Квесты. Хочешь выполни и получи награду; хочешь предай квестодателя и получили награду у другого; а хочешь предай сначала первого, потом второго, и прояви лояльность к первому))) он оценит. Ну или убей их всех. Тут это полноценный выход.
    + Грамотное и логичное сочетание жанров, фаербол или плазменная винтовка? Как хочешь.
    + Бесконечный рюкзак

    Как плюс, так и минус: Взяли идеи Bethesda и BioWare. Соединили на свой лад. Вроде все классно, но ты понимаешь, как это было в оригинале, и оригинал, безусловно - лучше.
    1 Главу проходил около 53 часов. 2 главу за 5 минут, 3 за 20. Откуда вытекает понятно, я сам так подвел. Но все же! Серьезно?)) Добавили бы что ли событий в каждую главу.

    В общем и целом:
    Как, наверное, многие писали и будут писать, если вы фанат творчества этой студии, то вам понравится. Добротная РПГ. Хорошая игра. Если же вы никогда не играли в Готику и Райзен. Чтож. Можете попробовать, но предупреждаю, скорее всего вы разочаруетесь, сравнивая с другими рпг. Банально бюджет разный.    … Expand

    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.

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

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

Und ja man kriegt am Anfang viel aufs Maul und muss auch viele viele Gegner umlaufen um erste Quests fertig zu kriegen und XP zu sammeln. Allerdings wird man recht schnell stärker und kann schon früh Ausdauer skillen sowie eine (Jäger)Rüstung kaufen. Dazu ein ordentliches Beil und schnell den Begleiter Duras klar gemacht und man kann sich mit vielem in der Welt anlegen. Die Art und Weise in der man immer stärker wird fühlt sich wunderbar belohnend an.

    Und ganz ehrlich, ich finds geil wenn ich noch die 2 Spinnen mit zum Alb Trupp locken muss damit sich eine größere Schägerei zwischen allen Entwickelt und ich versuchen kann einen nach dem anderen in dem Chaos zu erledigen.    … Expand

    И именно покупать, а не скачивать с торрентов! Дабы поддержать Пираний за такое.

    Если серьезней - ПБ удалось повторить Готики 1-2 и масштабировать их на огромный мир (с чем они облажались в Г3). Из минусов пока (50 часов игры) вижу только невыразительный дизайн фауны. Живность розовая, похожая и нелепая. Из плюсов - больше всего радует поведение неписей. 90% лжет, преследует свои скрываемые цели. Квесты имеют массу решений, и зачастую приятнее скроить козью рожу квестодателю, чем педантично выполнить приказ. Кроме первых двух Готик игра сильно напоминает FNV (по ощущениям). Жаль, что прекрасная студия подорвала свою репутацию Г3 и "Ризенами", и продажи игры не коррелируют с её качеством.    … Expand

    Для меня ЕLEX однозначно лучшая игра, и РПГ в частности. И по своей проработанасти, большому-детальному миру, хорошо прописанному Лору, я ставлю её по уровню рядом с 3 ведьмаком, серии древних свитков. И конечно же серией готикой, и ризоном - коеми ELEX является духовным наследием.

И конечно же серией готикой, и ризоном - коеми ELEX является духовным наследием. Но Забавный парадокс до этого я ни сколько не интересовался игрой во время разработки и мне было пофигу что там показывают, какой-то странный мир, сетинг будто смешали прошлое и будущие в одно. Что было очень не правельно так думать, даже не разобравшись в игре. Что же я это дело исправил и второго дня после релиза, был с головой погружен в мир Элекса. Описывать можно очень многое. Мир игры очень большой и красивый, можно на время забыть про сюжет, и просто наслаждаться великолепием лесов Эдана исследуя строения старого мира. Игра радует доп квестами в которых нередко мы должны принять чью-то сторону, хорошая она или плохая зависит только от ваших личных маральных качеств. Действуйте так считаете правильным вы, отстаивание своё мнение, темболие что сама игра обещает адекватно реагировать на ваши действия в будущем. Диалоги тоже не остались в стороне, они сдесь вполне себе годные а местами даже очень, (выделяются серьёзностью). Персонажи - есть тут разные, есть ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, негодяи, наивные мечтающие сделать мир лучше, а также крутые пафосные чуваки каторый тебя за одно непонравившиеся выражение зохотят замочить. А в самом игравом мире основалось три фракции со своим мировоззрением, и т д. NPC пытаются симулировать жизнь но до уровень суматохи даже сельской деревушки из ведьмака 3 всё же не дотягивает. Тут я скажу о компаньёнах, они есть но их проработка далека от совершенства и тут я подразумеваю Fallut nev wegas вспоминайте какие у них были жизненные диалоги, как у живых людей. И как мы добивались их преданности, вникая в их проблемы определяя их судьбу в дальнейшем. В ELEX каждый соратник сразу же готов тебе отдаться даже можно не повышать его уровень уважения что ничегошеньки не даст кроме пары добрых слов. Сними то особо и поболтать неочем. Но при этом у них есть свои квесты в ходе которых их можно передать и убить. И они каментируют мир вокруг себя по своему характеру. Идти с ними в бой очень полезно, пока противник занет отвешиванием люлей твоиму сопартийцу, у тебя есть классная возможность навалять этому противнику мощьную серию ударов в зад. А вот навьючит их разного рода хламом как мулов нельзя у ГГ неограниченный карман(всё токи это казуальность). Сдесь многие элементы игр старых школ сохранены или переделаны под соврименый уровень, но дух старины из начала 2000годов ощущается. За что огромное спасибо Пираньям. Удачи вам.… 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]
