If it would have helped the product by cutting 50% content... they should have spent those resources into polish! But maybe the engine is just not capable helping them out enough. I dont know. Again... exploring the hand crafted open world is cool but the game has far too many issues otherwise.… Expand

    I'll start by saying that objectively this games doesn't deserve a score higher than 6. Combat is clunky, the skills and character progressions are broken, and the world is a strange combination of classic medieval setting and science-fiction, which sometimes makes you think of fallout, and at other times reminds you of.. mass effect?

Hafer of IGN who obvious only touched the surface of this game) and then dismissed it. The developer, Piranha Bytes, develops games that places high difficulty at the beginning of it's games and expects players to be smart enough to figure out how to advance to where they will be stronger than their companions and it takes time, a lot of exploration, and quest completion to get to that point (about level 12 to 15).

    This is a well conceived game, with great world building and atmosphere, decent graphics and decent voice acting. The quest construction is amazingly well developed in that you can complete a quest if you happen upon it and can instantly complete it when you speak to the quest giver. In addition, your actions really have an impact on the world and what happens and how you are treated in future. It also has the world change at the end of the campaign and you can continue on in that altered reality - something most games don't do. When it tells you that a character will remember something or that you have changed the story, you really have and often it's not small.

    This game has few bugs (I had some loading issues when playing on PS5 via backward compatibility) but are not game breaking and yes the combat can be a bit wonky. One thing to note is that effectiveness of your companions is based on your relationship status to them - the better the relationship, the more effective the companion. It has some minor issues, but they really are minor.

    The economy is hard and forces you to make a lot of choices and forces you to refine your character so that you can afford the best gear once you join a faction.

    All in all, this is a great action adventure RPG but may not be for everyone. It sure is a hell of a lot better than the 4.9 IGN gave it. For me it's a solid 8 of 10. Looking forward to PB's Elex II this spring.    … Expand

    Loved the game! The open world is great, exploration is so much fun! And there are almost no markers on the map (unlike e.g. Ubisoft games) which makes much fun to explore the world by myself instead of running from one map marker to another. The dialogues are great, the faction mechanics are great. The side quests are better than the main quest, but the main quest is still fun. TheLoved the game!

    After trying assassin's creed odissey, I was more than happy to play this old school rpg with NO level scaling.

    The strong point is definitely the quest & faction system. Almost every quest give you multiple choices and decisions may alter your possible alliance with a faction. eg. I was denied access to the berserker faction because I stole and betray too many npc.

This is what I called a real rpg. World design is really good imo with a lot of variety, hand placed rewarding loots and some vertical exploration thanks to the jet pack.

    Combat is really average with bad hit boxes. Progression is too hard due to a lack of mission for low levels players. You have to spend 10 hours hiding behind a friend npc who will do all the fighting for you in order to level up. Graphic is last Gen. Music is average. But despite all this, it is still a better game than a triple A assassin's creed... Looking forward for the sequel.    … Expand

    I could no longer enjoy Skyrim after playing it, so pale and shallow it seems compared to Elex.

    Combat is an acquired taste, thanks to weird hitbox issues, but mostly enjoyable and serviceable. I’m not a pro gamer, but finished both of my playthroughs (ranged cleric and melee barbarian) on Medium difficulty.

    Generally speaking I love Piranha Bytes games since Gothic, and this one is definitely among their best.

    My biggest problem with it is terrible performance on original PS4, FPS is not great to begin with, and suffers even more after about 1h of play, soI had to restart it once an hour.

    If not for this I’d happily give it a 9, but such technical problems really detract from the enjoyment.    … Expand

    Elex was a tricky one to score.
    I actually wanted to give it a 9.5, not a perfect 10, but since I can't, I'll go with a 10 ... after debating 'tween 9 & 10, that is.
    Anyhow, there's more of a story to this. I would've given this a 6 back when I first tried it in 2018, but that changed a few years later, now having over 20 hours into it. Indeed. I'm finally taking this off my backlog in    Elex was a tricky one to score.

    Anyhow, there's more of a story to this. I would've given this a 6 back when I first tried it in 2018, but that changed a few years later, now having over 20 hours into it. Indeed. I'm finally taking this off my backlog in 2020, which is rather large, and I'm glad I gave it a 2nd chance and stuck with it this time.

    Short story: I tampered with this a few years back, but died almost anywhere I went, so I got fed up & rage quit, put it aside with no plans to pick it back up. Then, sometime later, I remembered what Piranha Bytes games are like -- going from wimpy fragile boy to almost god-like – and that gamers either love PB or hate 'em for this, so I picked it back up with a better prepared, more opened mind, and now I can't put it down.

    So, at 1st I'll be a weakling. Then I'll endure. And then I'll "more" than endure.
    (but can still die easily with some of the bigger baddies).

    Yes, once I figured out that a Piranha Bytes protagonist is "supposed" to start off as a tin foil weakling, with no armor and a practical stick for a weapon, and then grow stronger gradually, the "like" hit me all at once. Now I LOVE "some" of PB's games, especially this one (this is the most polished one I've played yet, on home console, anyways). Moreover, after the later patches, fighting feels a bit tighter -- I like the weighty feel of Jax’s attacks with a heavier 1-handed axe, and the quicker ones with lighter 1-handed swords. Plus, AFTER you start a game, there are many more options in settings, for difficulty & otherwise (difficulty for enemies, difficulty for player, etc.).

    One thing I do like (that some say they don't), is the b-grade voice acting. I'm also drawn into how the story's unfolding, based on the differences between factions, feeding only bits of the story at a time. And I find exploration in this game amazing. The jet pack opens up MANY options & secrets.

    In closing, I'll only say that if you found this game too hard & frustrating in its opening hours, all I can say is stick with it & give it a try, because Piranha Bytes games are “supposed" to be a growing experience, so you just might end up loving it once you FINALLY earn armor. The fragile weakling character I started controlling at the beginning of the game is no longer fragile, and I could feel his strength growing gradually, and, thankfully, I still have many hours left to later take on the bigger, badder enemies. I find this more rewarding than most RPG's progression, in fact.

    EDIT 2 weeks later:

    Now having finished this game, I can say that the story kept me captivated, and at the end left off at a good spot. NOW I'm intrigued for the sequel.
    I can also say that this is the best game P.B. have done thus far. There's only a couple of things that irked me during battles till I changed the settings. One thing that makes life easier during battles is to TURN OFF FOCUS (lock on) in settings, and switch it to Manual. Then you'll just have to remember to face the enemy you want to attack. Makes life easier. And if you hit the attack button 3 times, he won't stop attacking till after the 3 times are over. Once gotten used to, it's awesome.
    I'll easily give this game a 9.5. Can't wait for Elex 2.    … Expand

    The game is painfully challenging, but in a good way. Games like Witcher 3 are ridic easy to beat for a veteran gamer, so having something genuinely challenging was a joy. In Elex, you need to think before you do anything, and you need to always be on a lookout of safe spots in case you get chased by something you cannot kill or outrun. But with those in you mind, you CAN explore lot of the map even early on, so as to find quests to up your skills and stats.
    And its only by the very risky exploration that you can find all those, often cunningly hidden, villages and other spots that have quests for you to do...
    Luckily there is fast travel, so once you do find such locations, you can fast travel back and forth via teleports.
    Grinding is something you wont be doing much, as monsters do not yield much in the way of XP. Its mostly for resources that you hunt monsters, and for XP, you do missions. Although later on, when you are tougher, you can get more XP from killing some really nasty critters.
    Skill trees are a challenge. You pick wrong skill sets, you are in trouble. For in this game, with limited ammo and resources, you really, really need to focus on close combat and strong armor to survive. So, spending your skill points on lockpick, mining, hacking or whatever, will only leave you too weak to survive what is to come. So care must be taken there.
    Combat is not all that good, especially shooting. Limited ammo, so you really do not want to miss all the time! So, again, one more reason to focus on close combat, as then you will always hit something!
    But anyways, enough ranting from me. I give this 8/10 for the beautiful and atmospheric game world, and for the challenge. And for all the laughs. Solid game, but not for sunday gamers. Only true, hardened RPG fans need apply.    … Expand

    Most dicisions wont do anything.
    Best weapon is bow/gun - they give only 1 skill for it. But for melee weapons - 5(five!!) skills!! that you'll never use (since shooting is best choice)
    Worst platinum ever - 40 hours of standing and doing nothing!

    This game requires a bit of patience to begin with. This is a truly hand crafted world that rewards you for exploring. The story isn't ground breaking but keeps things moving. Combat system can be clunky but once mastered is acceptable. Great game, especially if you can pick it up on sale!

The starting character is a action hero built out of wet paper that can't even wipe his own arse without dying.

    The mix of very diverse factions like the high tech clerics, old world looking battle mages and post-apocalyptic junkers was very cool. The general story made sense and was engaging enough. A big fun huge map to explore with many a interesting local really helped.

    The VA and the general writing is bad. Combat and animations feels Gothic/Risen bad. The overall dated game play holds this experience back. Old school gaming ARPG with a semi-modern face lift. This is a game I really want to like, but really have a really hard time doing so. The amount of times I have stopped and started this game is unreal. Performance is not that great and the frame rate badly dips the more stuff is going on the screen.    … Expand

    1. KAMPFSYSTEM
    Ich weiß nicht wer sich bei Piranha Bytes dafür entschieden hat. Es ist so... unbefriedigend. Ich mache erst nach ein paar Schlägen brauchbare Treffer. Dazu kommt die Ausdauer, die danach ausgeht und man erstmal auf Abstand gehen muss. Funktioniert in Dark Souls besser (obwohl ich eigentlich Elex in keinem Fall mit Dark Souls vergleichen will). Mein Lieblingskampf-System der PB-Spiele war übrigens für mich in Risen 1.
    2. DIE KAMERA
    Diese macht einfach was sie will manchmal. Zu oft bin ich gestorben, weil ein Fokus auf einen Gegner nicht wegging.
    Und 3. BALANCING
    Dieses Problem hatte ich bis jetzt noch in keinen PB-Spiel. In einem Gothic 2 wusste ich immer spürbar wo die zu schweren Gebiete und die leichteren Gebiete sind. In Elex ist alles vermischt. Da ist einfach zum Beispiel ein Level 1 Vieh neben einem Level 50 Monster (übertrieben).

    Alles in allem liebe ich nach wie vor PB für ihre Spiele. Bringt mir in Elex 2 ein optimiertes Kampfsystem, dann habe ich schon weitaus mehr Spaß. Den Rest verzeih ich, weil es eine gewisse Art von Nostalgie bringt.    … Expand

    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

    This game is soo much better than it has been given credit for.

All game-breaking bugs are long since patched out. I'm blown away about some of the criticism it has received. Ugly? To me it looks just as good as the ps4 version of Witcher 3 but often with more interesting and exotic locations. Bad combat system? Sure, it's not the smoothest I've ever seen but if you like Dark Souls you are gonna like this, plus the difficulty (early game) is similar. The game however does get a lot easier after just a few hours in and I had to turn up the difficulty. Story-wise the game is quite bland but what it does have in spades is character (and great characters!). From gathering a crew to building up your home base, reminded me of Mass Effect Andromeda but done better in my opinion (not on the level of previous Bioware games though). If you like Western RPGs such as Witcher 3 - and especially previous Piranha bytes games (although this is by far their best game in the last decade, up there with gothic series for me) - I'm absolutely certain you are gonna adore this game, even though it's a little janky here and there.… Expand

    Don't get me wrong there are some good aspects of the game open world do what you want, the idea is sound, just how its been implemented could have been improved more, even pushed back the launch to fix the issues.

    its getting a 5/10 due to the bugs broken, quest lines, animation issues, graphical issues, frame rate issues, latency problems only thing making it worthy of the 5 is the concept of the game.

    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.

    Часть же...
    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

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).

Začátek je trochu pomalejší, ale jakmile se do toho dostanete hra vás pohltí svým příběhem.
    Bojový systém by chtěl asi vylepšit je to takový no... I po 16ti hodinách mi to moc nesedí, ale neříkám že někomu to sedět nebude, jen pro mě je to trochu nepohodlné. Taky bych měl výhrady k výbavě, protože přeci jen musíte dlouhou dobu běhat s jednou zbraní a zbrojí než se talenty posunete na něco lepšího, což je taky trochu otravné protože nepřátelé jsou čím dál silnější.
    V závěru musím říct že této hře jsem vůbec nevěřil ale po tom co jsem to zkusil musím říct že je to super hra, takže jen doporučuji.    … Expand

    An excellent RPG overall. A very fun and engaging experience with a lot of heart and soul. A complete and beautiful game.

    Pros: +Very original, breathing, and deep world. +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    An excellent RPG overall. A very fun and engaging experience with a lot of heart and soul. A complete and beautiful game.

    Pros:
    +Very original, breathing, and deep world.
    +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.
    -A few balancing issues between combat paths. Certain faction-combat style combinations can make the game a cakewalk, at least on lower difficulties.    … Expand

    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

    -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

    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.

    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

Хардкорчик имеется даже на среднем уровне, бьют сильно, а ты слишком хилый бомж, чтоб напялить более-менее нормальные шмотки. По итогу получилась новая готика со старой душой, достойная крепкая РПГ в коллекцию.… Expand

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

    Для тех кто знаком с 1-2 Готикой от пираний, недолжно вставать даже вопроса играть или нет.
    Ибо Еlex это игра с той самой атмосферой+интересным миром.
    Однозначный респект ребятам за возвожность вернутся в детсво)))

    Отличная игра. Скачал с торрента и, поиграв несколько часов, понял, что это настоящая Готика (ИМХО). Не долго думая, купил игру. Поэтому призваю всех, кто по тем или иным причинам решил спиратить игру, честно ее приобрести, поддержав тем самым разработчиков.Отличная игра.

    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.

    Elex 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.

    It's a very good game. I loved all the Piranha Bytes games, but this is the best till now. It sets up a sequel pretty well, and overall I found it exciting and full of adventure. It's a great game for sure, and I would recommend it to anyone!

    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 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

    For anyone who played the Bethesda "RPGs" (Fallout, Skyrim etc.) and similar games:

    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.

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.

    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.
