    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

    Elex is good. Not every game can offer you so many options.
    This game is too hard for casuls, if you are trying to play it with one hand, while holding beer in another one, it won't work.
    Git gud or don't touch it.

That's why it's difficult to take the user section of metacritic seriously anymore. It's an 8 in my book but I'll give it a 10 to do my part in offsetting these unfairly low scores.… Expand

    As a veteran fan of the Gothic Series & and Risen 1 (disliked Risen 2&3) - I had high expectations for Elex. As PB messed up the console versions of Risen, I was curious, if they meet the standards for a PS4 Version of Elex.

    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.
    But as I said before - and as it is a user's review - I lay my focus on story, atmosphere and 'how the game feels to me" - that's why I gave a 9 out of 10. I'm having so much fun playing the game, influencing the story by the decisions I make, exploring the world, watching the people f.e. in Goliet doing their daily business.
    So if you're a fan of open world games and in particular of the Gothic Series, owning a PS4 PRo (i didn't experienced any fps drops there): I'd buy it! :-)    … Expand

    I'm glad they're still making good RPG's. They are a tiny dev team of 25.

    PROS:
    - Writing
    - Reward (Very hard start)
    - Compelling Chars/Factions
    - Freedom (Entire world explorable lvl 1, albeit monsters are tough.)
    - Difficulty (For me this is a PLUS)
    - Rewarding when you get good at the bad combat
    - Story

    CONS:
    - Animations
    - English voice acting
    - Combat (Clunky, older styled slow paced parry/dodge fest)
    - Bugs (What huge RPG doesnt have em?)
    - Zero customization
    - Lack of "Loot". There isn't a lot.
    - UI

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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!

    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.
