Oct 20, 2017Combat 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.

Oct 28, 2017The weakest Piranha Bytes game. **** story and dialogues, poor combat system and game mechanics, graphics and animations like in 2001, unlogical mix of fantasy, postapo and science fiction, empty world and many other disadventages make this game crap of the year 2017.

Oct 28, 2017Give me my money back! This is the worst game I played this year. I can call yourself as a fan of Gothic games but Elex is a big dissapointment for me.

Oct 28, 2017This game cost 50$ like AAA game while this is like indie game with very low budget. Graphics are like in 2007 and animations from 2000. What a piece of wood...

Oct 28, 2017This is just the next Piranha Bytes crap. They are just too weak to make good and playable game like Skyrim or Witcher 3. They are still in 2001 when first Gothic was released. Nothing changed to this time - Elex is their next same, bugged, outdated and unplayable game.

Oct 28, 2017If you know end of this game you know that developers just cutted story in half and now they plan to release Elex 2 with the rest of story. What a shame... I will not pay twice for the one game!!! 0/10.

Oct 29, 2017Elex is een zeer grote teleurstelling en ik ben als fan van Gothic denken dat het het slechtste Piranha Bytes spel is. Het is onvoltooid, verouderd en niet speelbaar. Ik kan dit spel niet aanraden.

Oct 29, 2017Nini mchezo dhaifu. Picha mbaya, michoro na mitambo isiyo ya muda. Elex ni maskini na haipendi. Siwezi kupendekeza mtu yeyote wa mchezo huu... 0/10

Oct 29, 2017Terrible game, it's so boring and easy. The quests are cliche, the main character is an emotionless robot and the soundtrack is awful. One of the worst indie games i have ever played.

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]
