Oct 17, 2017This has to be the most pointless game released this month. Mixing science fiction with fantasy? who's brilliant idea was that? This game feels like you are just playing a poor mans version of fallout, witcher and Mad Max all rolled up into one game. "Jack of all trades, master of none" is the perfect tag line for this game.

Oct 30, 2017Classic 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.

Oct 17, 2017definitely the worst game released on xbox one so far this year, everything in this game is broken, it's basically still in alpha. The worst animations i have seen in my life, combat is laughable and the soundtrack is painfully bad.

Oct 27, 2017Il 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.

Oct 30, 2017Best game ever! Wait till you reach higher level's meaning level 8 or so. Nothing like having a sword,shield than switch to gernades or a bow than toss some spells into the mix. Freaking great!
Mad props to this web site for making the game look even more amazing than it all ready is.

PB great job and thank you for making the best RPG of all time. -
Oct 17, 2017This is by far the worst game of 2017. This game won't even run probably on my xbox one, constant frame rate drops and just full of glitches. Whoever the developers are, they should be given a medal for making the most awful game i have played in a very long time.
-
Oct 17, 2017This game seemed interesting but i cant play it, the game keeps crashing. huge frame rate drops. my character keeps falling through the map. Why did they release such a buggy mess???!!!
-
Oct 17, 2017Boring, that's the best way to describe this game. Boring armor, boring weapons and boring loot. Boring story, boring characters and boring world
Also no character customization, in an rpg! You are forced to play as some bald guy who tries to act all tough, its so boring. -

Oct 18, 2017Elex 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. -

Oct 27, 2017Its like The Witcher 3 + Skyrim + Fallout + Gothic. Pick it up . The combat is meh but its fine . Storytelling and the world is great.................
-
Oct 28, 2017Although 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.

Oct 19, 2020ELEX is the most underrated video game of the last 10 years because has mixed reviews but is really very good.

Oct 30, 2017In all aspects of this game its mediocre at best. Judging by my play time I just can't get enough. I feel the heart of PB in this game. I know that compared to many games it sucks but damn that heart is so big and trying! Thank you PB for your hard work! Take the criticism, build on it and make Elex 2 the best game you can!
-
Oct 26, 2017So this game got really bad reviews but i gave it a chance, and oh was i disappointed. Where to even begin, the combat is a complete joke, the animations are like from a game 30 years ago, the soundtrack is pathetic. And worst of all, full of bugs, glitches, frame rate drops and crashes.

Oct 18, 2017This game tried to copy skyrim and fallout and put them all in one game but failed. These indie developers need to learn to make their own games and not copy other legendary games.
-
Oct 18, 2017Its Incredibly Boring throughout the entire game – No real “Epic feeling moments”. The game is filled with Broken Quests, Glitches, Bugs, and Framerate hitches (every time you kill an enemy). Crude graphics and Pathetically Sloppy Textures.
-
Oct 17, 2017if you like the gothic series, you will also love elex. i dont know why everyone is giving negative ratings - yeah the graphic isnt a highlight - the combat system is ok on xbox - but the story, quest design and the complete world is just phenomenal. please play the game for more than 2 hours and you will love it.

Oct 8, 2018So many 10/10 shill reviews tells you everything you need to know. At least they paid for multi-language fake reviews. Too bad Metacritic turns a blind eye to such behaviour.

Oct 27, 2017Elex is a typical Piranha Bytes game with all their strenghts and weaknesses. It might lack polish and might not look up-to-date, but after a while it opens up and you can experience an unique open world like only Piranha Bytes can create them... ;)

Oct 30, 2017Для 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))) -

Oct 30, 2017Llevo con él unas 6 horas, tiene mucho contenido y muchas cosas por hacer. El mapa es enorme y tiene una dificultad elevada, es algo que me ha gustado bastante, en este mundo no eres el mas fuerte desde el principio, tienes que ir adaptandote y conseguir equipo, etc... Tiene algunos bugs que no afectan fucho pero que estaría muy bien pulir. Recomendado!

Oct 20, 2017- The UI is terrible. It looks bad and the usability is also not great.
- The combat is atrocious. It's just a wonky mess, that has bad feedback, bad hit boxes and doesn't feel direct enough.
- The story so far has been super uninteresting and I have yet to see quests that aren't cliches and plagued by bad writing. -

Oct 28, 2017Świetna gra. Niesamowicie wciągająca, pomimo licznych błędów, lekkiej toporności, niewyszukanych dialogów, niezbyt dobrej grafiki jak na rok 2017 i wielu innych wad. Czuć Gothica na każdym kroku i jako fan studia Piranha Bytes czuję się zadowolony i tylko czekam jak ogram 3 frakcje.
-
Oct 28, 2017Very happy to of paid full price for this fantastic rpg, if you can over look the odd floating cup or rat clipping into the wall...jump on in, no more hic up,s then what i came across in skyrim(floating mammoths and dragons half stuck in tower,s) the world is huge and missions interesting, will keep me tiding over untill the next Elderscrolls entry,
-
Oct 29, 2017Это велеколепная и потрясающая игра! В лучших традиция пираньи, спасибо большое разработчикам, за такую славную игру! 10/10 Обязательно покупайте и поддержите Piranha Bytes!
-
Oct 30, 2017Это Готика!!! И этим все сказано! Советую всем скучающим по "пираньям". Плюс отличная оптимизация. 10/10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
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 31, 2017By far the worst indie game ever made. These nobody developers basically copied games like skyrim, fallout and witcher. The developers should be sued for stealing ideas from these better and more amazing games.
worst indie game of all time award goes to elex. -
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 30, 2017This game looks like a cheap mod to Skyrim stylized on Fallout 4 and Mass Effect. I would not recommend this even to download, not to mention about the purchase.

Oct 27, 2017Fani Gothica i Risen znajdą w tej grze najlepsze jak i najgorsze cechy wcześniejszych produkcji PB, ale co z tego, skoro gra wciąga jak bagno? Faktycznie nie jest to ideał, ale nie za to Gothic 1 ma do dziś fanów i zapaleńców a ta gra może być własnie takim "nowy" Gothiciem :)

Oct 29, 2017Игра просто шикарная!!! Наконец то немцы смогли выпустить что то достойное серии Gothic. 10/10, по началу бесила боевая система до жути, пока не привык! теперь всё супер, за уши не оттащить от игры.

Oct 30, 2017Gothic III è tornato.... nel futuro.... col Tiberium...... e un pacco di bug..... ma è bello ..... come gothic III solo che ha un combat system che mi fa cagare un poco

Oct 30, 2017Piranie przez te wszystkie lata robią za każdym razem gry niemal identyczne i zawierające te same błędy...
Fanom Gothica czy Risena polecam z czystym sumieniem reszcie pewnie nie przypadnie do gustu ta drewniana walka czy ogólnie same animacje...
ps po niecałych trzech godzinach wpadł mi "acziwek" za 80 godzin gry... -
Oct 30, 2017Standartmäßig gute Piranha Qualität auf ähnlichem Niveau wie Risen 1, aber mit noch besserer Spielwelt.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oct 30, 2017Jocul 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))).
-
Nov 18, 2018A fantastic RPG and totally worth getting, if you're able to get through some of the bugs, jank, and some lack of polish
-
Oct 10, 2021Im amazed at how inaccurate the critics are on this game! Everyone i know thats played the game fell in love with it! Its like a cross between Fallout and Skyrim. Ill have to look at which games these critics dump on to find awesome games in the future

Mar 23, 2022Un juego a la vieja escuela, combate muy tosco pero también muy satisfactorio después de asimilarlo, ese es su punto debil, y todo lo demas es excelente, exploracion, mundo abierto, historia de facciones, historia principal, vale la pena realmente.

Mar 26, 2022Je connaissais pas ce jeux et franchement pas déçu .Très bon jeux, j'ai passé un très bon moment et une très belle aventure et mon aventure continue sur le 2

Dec 14, 2017The biggest disappointment that I have with Elex isn't the poor control system, or the colossally horrific voice acting, or the overpowered enemies, or the character modeling from the 1990's. No, my biggest disappointment is that all, and I mean ALL, of these issues could have been addressed and refined if given two things: more time and more money. I feel that Elex could have been one of the best open world RPG games we have seen in quite sometime had it had the time and funding to develop into something wonderful, not just passable.
-
Official Xbox Magazine UKDec 12, 2017A wildly ambitious fantasy fighter that's sadly lacking the fundamentals.
-
Nov 9, 2017Sadly, for all its premise, Elex has to be one of the most uninspiring RPGs I have experienced in a long time.
