    Everything is this game is terrible. The story feels like it was written by kids, the combat sucks, animations are horrible, bad voice acting, and the worst graphics on ps4 i have ever seen.

    This is by far the most buggiest game released on the ps4 this year. The developers should be sued for releasing a game full of technical issues on console but slightly more playable in the pc version.

The control layout is terrible, essentially every single animation/cutscenes in the game is very bad, the voice acting and scripts are very bad, the terrain and map are horrendous biomes shift similarly to MineCraft (There is a lush forest an invisible line then all of a sudden a wintery wonderland? That's not how nature works), combat is not fun whatsoever the animations don't match command inputs, there is an absurd amount of bugs (Get ready to fall through the floor forever all the time), movement around the world is clunky and is not enjoyable even if you get a very weak/crappy jetpack, and the game struggles technically it runs around 20 fps regularly. The game has some good quest ideas and story elements but the general awfulness of the game far overshadow them. An example, the world although it doesn't look very good it has some cool areas, they however are terrible because it sucks to explore them with the crap controls, animations, and character given to you. The moral is that this game is very bad and the developers shouldn't legally be allowed to sell this as a complete product, it very clearly is not.… Expand

    Normally I’d give it a 4 but seeing as how THQ Nordic is charging $59 for this hot garbage, to me it deserves a zero. A complete waste of money. For perspective, I played Gothic when it originally released. I’ve been a gamer since the days of Atari and Commadore64 and am in no way a casual gamer.

    Do not buy. I was the last to defend this game among my friends.
    Long story short:
    One of the worst games I've played in last 5 years.
    Nearly impossible to progress on any difficulty other than 'Easy'.
    Horrible combat.
    Horrible lighting. Especially at night, can't see a thing.
    Boring story.

    Lore,story and world would deserve a good 8...but battling is pure **** on ps4...really it has no sense, it looks like an Amiga game, it is frustrating to do again and again the same battle cause animations suck so badly...
    I tried to play this game like 5 times, cause the story looks awsome and interesting...
    but and action rpg where the action sucks,it's like an horror movie with no fear...

    Starting positive, it's alright, the graphics are not great, but that's not a major factor, for me at least, the vast open world is neat, and well executed, character dialogue is varied with multiple choices and not so boring information, and lastly the variety of things to battle, keeps the surplus of challenge relevant.

    Now for the not so good things, lip sinking with character speech is off, but not game breaking, character movement is a little sluggish, though not too bad, and the feel of the game sways a little at times, sometimes wondering what the hell to do.

    Now, for the things that this game failed at, for the lack of a better word. Story, shame, it seemed wobbly, unsure to exactly what the hell was going on, now I've only played a couple hours, but even now I want to put it down, the story had promise at the beginning with the opening cut scene, but fell off the radar soon as the game play instigated, leaving me with the though of, what just happened?

    Combat, appalling in today's standard, Skyrim did it better, and that games ancient now, hell even Oblivion had richer combat, and that's even older, to put it into perspective, it's like soon has you engage battle everything around you is unimportant, as the character is solely focused on the enemies, animations don't make it better, often feeling slow, and with combat being an important item it's a real shame.

    On a final note, it's not unplayable, it's more don't get your hopes up for another, kinda like Skyrim game, cos it's not, more like the by-product of the failed prototypes of Skyrim, it had promise, and that's all it had, the outcome was half decent at best.

    If you plan to buy it, remember this is not the next Skyrim or Witcher, it's what they never were, for the wrong reasons.    … Expand

The game runs at maybe 20 fps, sometimes, so you slideshow yourself through the plain, empty, unimaginative world. The NPC's have voice lines from different voice actors, combat music will play loudly in the background while you are talking to an NPC, in fact all sound volumes are randomly spiking. Sometimes you hear a gunshot and realize it's just one of your own footsteps that randomly made a boom. The story is bland, the NPCs generic and there seems to be some sort of trust system with NPCs but it's so badly made you get the first NPC you meet to idolize you after you have done one quest. And they are trying to pass this off as a full game for 50 €. Worst game experience I have had, ever.… Expand

    It's not very good. The melee combat is bad, the ranged combat is bad (hitboxes are an issue in both cases), the RPG mechanics are mostly bad, and the exploration is hampered by the absolutely atrocious placement of enemies, which is probably the single worst aspect of the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think those giving this game 0's and 10' are both ruining how we should really be scoring games/films on this site. Lets be straight for once whether you love or hate the game.

    I am waiting for A.C Origins so over the past couple months I have re-visited a lot of games, a couple RPG's, that is Skyrim and the Witcher 3. I bought Elex to help pass the time before launch of A.C Origins at full price Canadian bucks on the PSN = $79.00 (NOT WORTH FULL PRICE MORE LIKE WORTH $49.00). I have spent the past couple days playing this game and its an average game. Well, everything is average except for the environmental visuals. At the core of this game I think the developers/writers have something, there is potential to perhaps break out of its shell of an average game for the next follow up to Elex. I had some fun reading about the lore and learning about the history, and some of the weapons and upgrades as well as armor were cool. The combat was sluggish and kind of slow almost like Dragon Age Origins but hey it was alright definitely wasn't game breaking just kind of annoying at times. The only real issues I have with this game so far are the framerates dropping while on my PS4PRO and the jetpack! Its like a super jump mod in Skyrim.

    I don't understand some of the pure hate for this new IP but won't deny its not nearly perfect. I also don't understand the perfect scores of 10 and praise for it. Its an average game people, true RPG fans looking for a new IP should enjoy this game and I will most definitely keep playing it until A.C Origins releases.

    Thanks for reading. :)    … Expand

    Мир большой, он наполнен разными персонажами, мутантами, животными и растительностью. Причём никто не мешает натравить одних на других и потом собрать что останется (подсказка ;) ) Интересно иногда походить и посмотреть на различные пейзажи в одном кадре - тут и снег, и лава, и пустыня и деревья.
    Множество точек интереса никак не обозначенных на карте подстёгивает каждый раз осмотреть "вон тот домик и пора спать, а то уже 00:42" и ложиться только в 2:30.

    Pros:

    +Great progression and character building (you actually feel the ascent from random vagrant to epic badass).
    +Satisfying combat that doesn't get stale.
    +Varied enemies to fight, from battle droids and big mechs to giant rats and trolls.
    +Three interesting Factions, each with their own lore and styles of combat (Magic, Guns, Bows, Melee) that add greatly to replayability
    +Excellent implementation of verticality with the Jetpack. A fun, easy to control and to handle way to get around, escape from encounters, find hidden loot and bypass pesky guards.
    +Engaging and fun lore. Lots of side lore that can be found as loot in journals and recordings adds meat and depth to the world.
    +Decisions will affect the ending, which is satisfying and extensive for all major characters. The best story of any Piranha Bytes game ever.
    +Character Models, movement, faces, and conversation environment vastly improved over past Piranha Bytes games.
    +It's not clunky, junky, ugly, or messy at all, in my opinion. Graphics are beautiful and only slightly dated, and controls are just fine.
    +Soundtrack is excellent, and voice acting is not bad at all. Sound effects are also okay.
    +Largely bug-free. Any bugs I spotted were few, negligible and certainly not game-breaking.

    Cons:
    -Merciless at the beginning of your first playthrough. Will require patience for the first few hours of gameplay.
    -Melee combat could use a better tutorial. It's not buggy or broken. It's just not explained properly.

    Игра прекрасна своим окружением, но очень быстро начинаешь замечать, что погода всё время одна и та же, небо почти одинаковое, если вдруг в лесистой местности пойдёт дождик, то это будет мелкая морось иногда с практически ясного неба. Ни грозы, ни молнии, ни песчанных бурь в пустыне вы не найдёте.
    Монстры... тут тоже засада. Мало что есть различные версии одного и того же монстра, причём молодй/детёныш не отличается от взрослой особи внешне, так ещё для модели многих монстров одинаковые - каких-нибудь рогопса и шакала отличить не так просто. Ещё в игре есть разного рода большие крысы, падальщики из прошлых игр, ящерки и т.п. Чуть изменён дизайн и вуаля - новый вид.
    Неписи аналогично - одно дело безымянных "изгоев", "труженников" одинаковыми делать, но уж для именных персонажей можно было бы уникальную внешность подобрать.
    Ну и всякие мелочи вроде того, что течёт бурный поток, а вам идти/плыть хоть по течению, хоть против - всё равно.

    Это, конечно, атмосферу несколько ухудшает.
    Теперь что в игре есть хорошего - огромный открытый и разнообразный мир. И он действительно огромен и открыт - и не только вширь, но и вглубь и ввысь. Вполне можно случайно упасть в какую-то пещеру, полную разбойников и выбираться оттуда на тяге возможно не только реактивного ранца. Перепады рельефа очень радуют.
    Мир красивый, пейзажи живописные.
    Кто-то ругается, что мир пустой, но это не так: повсюду какие-то строения, тайники, дневники, записки, мини-истории и т.п. Думаю, что мир - одна из самых сильных сторон игры.
    Квесты действительно интересные. Постоянно нужно выбирать, информации для выбора очень мало, неписи охотно обманывают протагониста, выбор, сделанный где-то в начале, могут припомнить через многие часы игры.

    Итого, на самом деле - отличная игра, которая, тем не менее, на каждом шагу говорит - "у нас было мало денег, да и людей не так много....". Но скоро к этому привыкаешь и спокойно наслаждаешься игровым процессом.    … Expand

    The reason we see a continuous rehash of games that seem to be copies of one another is because we give no leeway for smaller companies trying to break into the AAA scene.

    -Actual open world. The degree of mobility the jetpack allows you to have is something that anyone would appreciate. There are tons of hidden areas and secrets scattered about in some crazy places you wouldn't normally consider exploring in other RPGs. Ranged combat can be done, hovering in the air; sure, that giant rat might have pushed your **** in a little, but who'll be the one laughing when you're flying above it, raining rockets on it and its friends? The only obstacle are the enemies that you will not be able to take on, but all it takes is clever use of terrain to get around them and where you want to go.

    -While your choices are limited, they actually mean something. Many of them aren't just black and white, either; there will be grey area that will make you stop and weigh the consequences. Even some of the smallest actions and mundane tasks can be the first domino falling in a chain of events caused by your choice to turn a small profit fetching something.

    -Quests are actually pretty varied. There are still fetch quests and the like, but there won't be 7 different fetch quests from one place. The differing factions and their ideologies plays a big part in what you'll be doing, as well; the order in which you do quests can impact other quests pretty dramatically, too. If you aren't afraid of trying something new in subsequent playthroughs you will get a very different perspective on the world.

    -There's an actual sense of progression. How you level matters. The world is a harsh place, and the main character's life spent relying on Elex for any semblance of strength is over when you first begin. You are supposed to be weak. You get stronger. You develop new skills. You forge a place for yourself and slowly but surely become more and more capable. Small victories from rotboars and hasty retreats from a single reaver will turn into assaulting strongholds, obliterating mechs, and clearing entire groups of well equipped enemies without too much trouble.

    -Vastly different playstyles. It may seem really odd to have swords and bows in a world of magic, guns, and sci fi plasma weaponry and assault suits and jets, but a comet full of a resource of unlimited power is an odd occurance, indeed, isn't it? You'll start off just surviving with a rusty axe, but there are plenty of ways to go. Craft your way to victory with potions and chems, dominate through technological superiority, run around incinerating everything-- you're sure to find something you like.

    -Enemy spawns. Nothing just teleports into existence from my experience. It never feels like there's some random bush producing an endless supply of bandits. A cleared area stays cleared for a long while, and you'll most likely come back to different residents anyway. There is no real area scaling; you'll run into runt tier enemies at level 50 that die faster than you ever did starting out, and you'll run into something you'll have no choice but to retreat from early on. It makes the world feel organic, rather than a case of "Oh, you got an ebony sword! Time to replace all the common bandits with super advanced variants for no reason other than you happened to find such a sword."

    -The cities and towns. They are pretty much the perfect size. There are well placed NPCs mingling with generic faces; none of them feel too small, like in a Bethesda game where a major capital city only has 6 houses, and none of them are impossibly huge and full of nobody important, either. Many of them are interesting and fun to explore.There aren't a lot of them that just stand around all day, and those that do are often named and looked down upon by their respective communities. It's a shame that most of the conversations you'll overhear don't back this up too well, though.

    -The world is vast and interesting, full of opportunity, but it's not so crowded either. It strikes a good balance between things to do and so much to do that none of it feels special or worthwhile.    … Expand

    Yes, animations are, i woulds say, not as good as i hoped they will be.
    And yes, there are some technical issues but i think its a matter of time to patch it.
    Overall - i would like to give it a 7,5 score(or even 10 just for the sake of haters), but unfortunately there is no option to give half scores, so it gets 8 from me.
    I think that this is the game which you can hate or love, so there is no way to say if it's waste of money or not if you don't play it.

    The graphics can't compete with a AAA game of nowadays, but as I'm more the 'older generation' of players, graphics aren't that important to me than atmosphere & immersion.
    The graphics are somewhat ~ 2011 / Skyrim-Level (on it's release version, w/o mods). The sounds are well, but from time to time clunky.

    Although this game might be a bit "oldschool" it creates an intense atmosphere with great dialogues and a dynamic story. I recommend this game for fans of classical RPGs.

    Classic 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.

    Petite astuce, se servir des compagnons comme Tank aide vraiment au debut. Et si la créature est trop forte... Fuir^^

    - Les combats sont punitif façon Gothic, autant pour le joueur que pour les ennemis

    - Le melange des univers est plutot bien pensé. Mélanger des chevaliers en armure et épée, des pillard de MadMax et les Clercs du futur (armures et armes à la Mass Effect) peut paraitre surprenant, mais l'histoire du monde arrive à souder et expliquer le tout.

    - Progression des caractéristiques (force, dext, int...) à chaque niveau, mais compétence (récupération de trophés sur les animaux, spécialiste CaC, etc) se débloquent auprès d'un "maitre" de la compétence.

    - Equipement utilisable sous condition de caractéristiques (exemple 30 en force et 40 en dext), frustrant car on peut tomber sur une super arme qui ne sera utilisable que dans plusieurs niveaux, MAIS ça empêche d'avoir une arme surpuissante dès le début (donc pas de chasse au lapin à coup de lance grenade^^)

    - Multiples façons de résoudre une même quête, plusieurs quêtes se croisent et ont parfois des fin inverses.
    Certainent impactent l'histoire, d'autre seulement la faction, ou encore le personnage qui vous l'a confié, ou celui qui est la cible de la quête.
    Il n'est pas rare de voir après un choix "XXXXX s'en souviendra" ou encore "XXXXX n'aime pas cela"

    Je n'en suis qu'a une vingtaine d'heures, mais je me régale depuis le debut, ça faisait très longtemps que je n'avais pas accroché comme ça.

    Alors oui graphiquement il pourrait être mieux, mais ça reste très jolie sans être exceptionnel (en 3440x1400 Ultra).

    Mais je préfère très largement des graphismes en dessous de certain jeux AAA mais une profondeur supérieure.

    Je trouve très décevant les critiques des magazines ou sites de jeux video qui vont le comparer à des jeux avec des budget dix fois plus gros.
    De plus, certains jeux AAA ont eu des points négatifs plus important dans les résumés de ces même sites mais la note était toujours plutot bonne, alors que pour Elex je les trouve beaucoup moins sympa.    … 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.

But I 100% agree that your hard-earned money should go for what you want, so wait for a discount, but do give it a try. It's much, much better than you probably expect. I love Skyrim and all those, but they are far buggier. As for major problems, I've experienced no frame rate drops, no buggy AI, no crashes, nothing like that at all. It's not an easy game, which forced me to readjust what I was doing and figure the control scheme better and now I love it. A "0" is not fair at all.

    ELEX is an Action RPG developed by Piranha Bytes, a studio that many should know, not always for the best reasons, but that has brought us the Gothic franchise. At ELEX, the studio set aside the purely medieval aspect and joined fantasy with technology. Settling into an apocalyptic era, the protagonist joins the war over a powerful feature, called "ELEX", which gives people magical powers.ELEX is an Action RPG developed by Piranha Bytes, a studio that many should know, not always for the best reasons, but that has brought us the Gothic franchise. At ELEX, the studio set aside the purely medieval aspect and joined fantasy with technology. Settling into an apocalyptic era, the protagonist joins the war over a powerful feature, called "ELEX", which gives people magical powers. The game world is a mixture of futurism and medieval locations along with icy mountains, volcanic mountains and desert environments.

    The events take place on a planet called Magalan, after being hit by a meteorite, the survivors formed groups and fight for their survival and the destiny of the planet. The protagonist is a member formed of the Albs, a group that consumes ELEX to put aside the emotions and to base their decisions only in the logic. Recovering from an accident he had with his ship, the protagonist goes through the abstinence of ELEX experiencing emotions for the first time in his life, turning him into a traitor. As a consequence, the protagonist will have to hide his history and his old identity of the factions that previously were his enemies.

    The player can cooperate and join one of three factions: The Berserkers (renounced modern technology and the use of ELEX), The Clerics (fanatically worship a god called Calaan and operate as a religious police state where consuming ELEX is expressly forbidden) or The Outlaws (they have no leader and operate through the "survival of the fittest" mentality, using improvised and deadly weapons and consume the ELEX in the form of specialized stimulant drugs). A plus for the ELEX story mode is the amount of unexpected twists.

    As soon as I started playing my first few hours on ELEX, it reminded me of games like Fallout (3, New Vegas and 4), Mad Max and The Witcher 3. The player will be able to do a lot of things, complete missions, crafting and pick up objects (eg ELEX), among other things. Of note is the fact that the map is super vast, with its colorful scenarios, although the game has some visual bugs, for example, there was something that sometimes bothered me when I was using the technology (to see the map, see the purpose of the missions, etc.) of the protagonist. Scenarios and buildings are sometimes filled with monstrous creatures and machines that we must defeat or sneak through without being discovered.

    Each time we kill an enemy or complete a quest, we gain experience and if we level up we gain 10 attribute points that we can use in 5 options: Strength (increases melee damage and unlocks certain items and abilities), Constitution (increases the life energy bar and unlock certain items and abilities), Dexterity (increases ranged damage and unlocks certain items and abilities), Intelligence (depending on your faction, increases mana or PSI power and unlocks new abilities) and Cunning (increases our skills social, if you are Outlaw, increases the chem capacity).

    The protagonist can also learn new skills depending on the amount of Elexit, Skill points and Strength, Constitution, Dexterity, Intelligence and Cunning. ELEX has a huge range of weapons, armor and items, which offers a good amount of equipment options to use in combat.

    The ELEX combat is a bit weird and unbalanced, due to inaccurate hitboxes and animations, especially in the attack area. Not to mention that the game has an exaggerated difficulty, even in easy. There are certain quests that made me pull my hair. For example, there is a quest in which I have to save an individual from four armed robbers to the teeth. Obviously it would be suicide to face the four at the same time and to avoid this, I had to go to the back of the enemy who initiates the attack and face them one by one along with my companion. The AI of our companions is to take the hat... by the negative. During the fights, it seems that their brain is frozen for about 5-10 seconds to know whether or not to attack the enemy, and it was my desire to send them a beautiful scream.

    And the conclusion I get is this, unfortunately for Piranha Bytes, the inconveniences of ELEX have screw up what could be a good game, and instead, it's just a medium game. Too bad, because when I saw the first gameplay of the game, it seemed to have great potential. I advise the people to wait for updates and a promotion of the game.    … Expand

    Playing Elex and the older PB gams is like joining a D&D , DSA or other Pen and Paper group without actually knowing what you're getting into...took me several restarts to finally have a build that makes the early game with all the "run there and talk your self through it" quests a little easier.

    And yes it's not comparable with any AAA title the industry throws at you with their high end budget.
    Despite the fact that the UI and Combat is very very clunky and old school i like this game for the various quest choices and rewards it gives you so u have that nostalgic feeling the Gothic series gave you. (including the various Bugs and broken game machanics lol)

    I will be looking forward to play this game as a high personality craftsman thief as this is a very good way to earn Elexit
    until i can afford all the stuff and upgrades to actually make me stronger. (stealing weapons and stuff outside containers doesnt even require any skill whatsover just dont get caught and you'll have some pretty nice weapons you will be looking forward to skill)
    I can also strongly recommend to get a companion and upgrade the group skill as progressing through the first Edan quests as it will make your life a little easier.

    I know the release version of Elex is buggy as hell (freezing bow while doing a side roll, camera, cutscenes etc.) and not everybody will like the fact that leveling up and getting stronger is actually a darn piece of work, but i think if PB is listening to the community and actually getting♥♥♥♥♥♥done to make this a little more playable (just downloaded a first update) this game will be a nice alternative to the "get exp thrown at like money in a stripclub" games out there.

    Conclusion:

    YES its a non AAA title from a german developer and
    YES the game is hard and doesnt really appeal to people new to the series, but if you bite your way through it without getting yourself devoured by it it's really not that bad.

    Смотрю, клирики сражаются с ящерами
    Ну ок, помогаю
    Сразу один из них ко мне подходит
    Здравствуйте, а вы верите в Калаана? Хотите узнать о нём по больше?
    Нет, не хочу
    Ваш навык убеждения недостаточно высок
    Да, хочу
    Начинает мне что-то рассказывать
    Через пару фраз я просыпаюсь в городе клириков и мне говорят куда идти на посвящения в адепты

    Two things you need to enjoy the game. The first is the time it takes to get into the game and level up, I am 22 hours in and I am enjoying the trip. The second is to understand what you are in for, this is not a hand holding over powered at level one walking simulator.

The first is the time it takes to get into the game and level up, I am 22 hours in and I am enjoying the trip. The second is to understand what you are in for, this is not a hand holding over powered at level one walking simulator. Being weak and penniless in this game at the start can be felt for many hours, as you cannot just guns blaze in to situations in you power armor after the short tutorial like other games out there. Be ready to learn how to ovoid, outrun, and trick opponents for a good portion of the time, as you will die trying to see how to overcome puzzles. This is not kill small creatures focused leveling game like most RPGs, actually trying to level by killing things in the early game would be slow to futile. Like any game learn how the leveling system works, luckily in this game there are not truly bad choices for the early game, as sneaking and running around for task is the name of the game and few skills will help you in the early game. The game is an AA title, the voice acting will not win awards. But there is allot of script within the game and it is not a bad. I am not done with the game but I am enjoying it and would recommend for those that like RPGs.… Expand

    Gra dla typowego fana Gothica. Jeśli ktoś zwraca uwagę na samą grafikę lub szuka gry idealnej jeśli chodzi o animację, teksty, walkę to tego tu nie znajdzie ale jednak każdy kto kupi Elexa kupi go ponieważ jest fanem serii Gothic i Risen i dla tych osób jest ta gra. Ogromny świat, interesująca fabuła, typowo Gothicowy poziom trudności gdzie na początku omijamy najmniejsze owady. Mi sięGra dla typowego fana Gothica.

Ogromny świat, interesująca fabuła, typowo Gothicowy poziom trudności gdzie na początku omijamy najmniejsze owady. Mi się podoba połączenie Sci-Fi Fantasy i średniowiecza i z chęcią mogę polecić Elexa każdej osobie która zagrywała się w serie Gothic czy Risena szuka dobrej opowieści i czegoś na długie godziny.

    Wiadomo grafika mogła by być lepsza ale nie jest jakoś brzydka.
    Jedyne co mnie trochę denerwuje to jest jednak ten drewniany system walki ale do tego przyzwyczaiła Piranha Bytes. Więc cóż ja lecę grać dalej i mam nadzieje że wy też :D    … Expand

    il gioco verrà sicuramente aggiornato e rifinito nel tempo, ma già dal dayone dico che questo è il miglior gdr 3d in terza persona dopo Witcher 3, sicuramente con aggiornamenti e patch verrà ulteriormente rifinito e migliorato,se vi piacciono i gdr seri e non vi fate pippe mentali inutili questo è, e sarà un gran gioco, poi chiaramente fate come vi pare.

    Bock Schwer!! Also ich kenne ja die alten Gothic spiele von früher noch, konnte damit aber nie etwas anfangen und habe sie auch nie richtig gespielt. Aber genau deshalb wollte ich diese Lücke füllen und habe mich auf Elex eingelassen.

    Also ich sag mal so, es ist Geschmackssache. Die Grafik is altbacken aber die Welt ist trotzdem sehr schön gestaltet. Die Geschichte ist interessant und    Bock Schwer!! Also ich kenne ja die alten Gothic spiele von früher noch, konnte damit aber nie etwas anfangen und habe sie auch nie richtig gespielt. Aber genau deshalb wollte ich diese Lücke füllen und habe mich auf Elex eingelassen.

    Also ich sag mal so, es ist Geschmackssache. Die Grafik is altbacken aber die Welt ist trotzdem sehr schön gestaltet. Die Geschichte ist interessant und wird quasi von der ganzen Welt in allen Quests immer wieder weiter erzählt. Das Kampfsystem is echt großer Mist. Glücklicherweise wusste ich aber worauf ich mich einlasse und nutze direkt nur Fernkampfwaffen aber auch das geht nur mäßig. Die Monster sind stark, alle. Jedes Levelup ist schwer verdient.

    Und dort greift einem das Spiel. Es fühlt sich unheimlich befriedigend an all diese Hürden zu überwinden und mit jedem noch so kleinen Schritt stärker zu werden. Ich kann mit dieser Art eigl nichts anfangen aber Elex hat mich trotz seiner Schwächen einfach gefangen und ich kann behaupten das hat lange kein Spiel mehr geschafft, unglaublich.

    Also einfach Geschmackssache, aber mein weiß nich was einen erwartet bis man es getestet hat. Auf jedenfall daumen nach oben für mich!    … Expand

    Peli on todella hyvä ja Fallout ja Wither tyylinen ja ei tue ehan 32:9 kuvaa

    The game is really good and it's like the Witcher and Fallout style and does not support 32:9 pictures please new update to supporting the 32:9 picture

    Elex is a raw diamond full of flaws but with too much value to consider it as an ugly and wrong game. Give it time, be patient and it will capture you.

    Elex is the RPG game of the old era, made by the old guard for the old guard. It has a lot of charm and magic hidden inside its massive world but its clunky elements will probably prove to be a dealbreaker for newer gamers that didn’t grew up with the same issues that persist Piranha Bytes games since Gothic.

    Elex is far from perfect. It can be a frustrating experience and the horrible combat system could be a deal breaker, but it’s undeniably an ambitious title with a promising future.
