It's ok.

I bought this on sale. It's ok. I would not recommend paying full price for it though. It is very, very rough around the edges. First, there is no character creator. That would be fine if the main character wasn't so flat and generic, but he is, so this game could have really used that personalization aspect to counterbalance the lack of uniqueness, charisma, and personality. The movement controls are so, so awfully clunky. Either you don't move at all or you bound 6 feet in any direction, which is obnoxious when standing next to a ledge. There is also a "context sensitve" climbing feature that is so spotty it becomes frustrating. Looking at a ledge should prompt you to press a button to climb that ledge, but half the time it doesn't appear or is so overly specific on where you have to point the camera that it becomes a hinderance. Combat is ok. A strange blend of Witcher 3 and Dark Souls with the stamina management. Not terrible. Decently tactical. No real complaints there. Voice acting is... well, it isn't going to win any awards any time soon. What this game does well, though, is it is very reminiscent of old school single player RPGs. It does not "hold your hand" at all. This is not a game that is simplified for the masses. It is meant to be nuanced and give players impactful choices.

Almost perfect RPG

The game is a huge step forward for Pyranha Bytes in many aspects and the best game of theirs since G2: NoR. It took much time for them to find the true path after failing with G3 but finally they are on the track again. So why do I think so? 1 - apart from npc faces the graphics is an outstanding part of this game. It's not just about modern shaders, FXAA and so on. No, I mean the graphics suits the vibe and mythology of Elex. Breathtaking locations, landmarks and views. You're just gonna love exploring all game zones for hours and hours. 2 - quests and characters is what really makes Elex one of the greatest rpg ever. Characters feel "alive" and organic part of factions and post-apocalypse world. You meet noble warriors, filthy thieves and rogues, preachers and greedy merchants who offer you to complete decent quests with many options to solve the problem. Actually, nearly every quest has 2 or 3 variants of completing it and each of them holds a certain consequence from death of a character to exiling you from the city at all, from making cruel profit to destroying the whole settlement. Even a simple dialog line can affect on your storyline in future. 3 - amazing music in the bundle as well. Not great as it used to be in Gothic series but still you're gonna enjoy it while explore the locations. 4 - change of setting turned out only for the best. New post-apocalypse setting of Piranhas looks incredible and can surely compete with Fallout series (in some point even overrunning it). So that comes the game feels not a remake of Gothc but truly a new project with nostalgia references to Gothic. 5 - the way you talk to npc-s and complete the quests changes the end of the game. Not many rpg's bring the same. What is bad about this game? Technical part of the combat system. You may enjoy playing for a cleric with energy weapon and go through all the circles of Hell if you pick a melee combat berserker, for instance. This part should really be improved in Elex 2.

Enjoyable Open-World RPG

Elex has the Piranha Bytes trademark inverted difficulty curve: very difficult at the beginning, but becomes rather easy once you find the OP guns that stunlock enemies. Even then, you can still get smashed in melee combat if you relent on self-discipline. The RPG rules are fairly familiar to anybody who has played a Piranha Bytes game, where stats gate use of stronger weapons. If you don't meet the requirements, you simply can't use a weapon. I'm not sure if higher stats increase damage dealt by weapons. The world is large and detailed with four distinct biomes. Exploration is worthwhile, and there are a few secret areas to find. Graphically, Elex was not spectucular when it was first released and even less so now. However, it's colourful and easy on the eyes. Voice acting is serviceable. I don't recall it crashing much, if at all, so technically it's pretty good. Whereas many games have a simplistic choice to be made near the end of the game that determines the ending, dialogue choices throughout a given playthrough of Elex are what determine the ending, by essentially shaping the personality of the main character. I don't why I enjoyed Elex so much, but I suppose it has most of what I personally enjoy in a game. As such, I recommend Elex without reservation.

Masterpiece !!!

This game has only one flaw, the usual PB politic that you MUST join a faction (which does not change a bit to you). Except for that, you play in a fantastic post apocalypse world, what remains of the old world is stunning, full of recorded stories of the people that didn't survive, their belongings etc... plus, magic ! Everything is really cool but totally unbalanced: The monsters are everywhere, and not located according to your level. You can find big trolls and cyclops near the walls of a city or a main road or a simple rat in the woods because they live there, not because you must be cuddled. It's up to you to understand where you can survive and how...and of course it's up to your equipment and your skills. And here comes the big news in this game....the JETPACK. With that and a smart brain, you can explore the entire map even if you can't slay a chicken, and there is a lot to see.

Erwartungen übertroffen!

Technisch: - keine Abstürze - flüssiges Spiel - kurze Ladezeiten Steuerung: - die ersten 2-3 Stunden sind gewöhnungsbedürftig - wenn man's mal raus hat, kann man zeitig relativ starke Gegner schaffen (dank Jetpack und Fernkampf) - Die Gefährten sind endlich zu gebrauchen, man kann überalll hin und alles tun mit Begleiter, ohne Angst zu haben dieser kommt nicht mit oder verkeilt sich unrettbar. Spielgefühl und Schwierigkeitsgrad: Am Anfang ist das Spiel noch recht schwierig und verwirrend, man weiß nicht so richtig ob man schon soweit ist um die schützenden Mauern der Stadt zu verlassen usw.. Man wird aber schnell frecher und löst einige Quests indem man einfach die Items dem Wächtermonster unterm Arsch weg stiehlt Beim ersten mal Spielen, ist jeder Dialog und jede Entscheidung mit dem Gefühl gepaart "Hoffentlich hat das keine schlimmen konsequenzen..." und das war toll weil so jeder Dialog eine Wichtigkeit bekommt und man Nervös vorm Rechner sitzt und überlegt was man nun Antwortet. Das tollste Gefühl entsteht jedoch, wenn man im Spielverlauf stärker wird und Monster wie Charakteren, die einen zuvor weggesteckt haben, verkloppen kann. Das Erkunden von "Hauptstory irrelevanten" Gebieten macht durch viele kleine Ministorys viel spaß, einige der 50h habe ich im Menü beim Lesen der Tagebücher und Notizen verbracht, die man in Häuserruinen findet. Wiederholungswahrscheinlichkeit: 100% Ich werde das Spiel noch min. 2 mal durchspielen um auch bei den anderen Fraktionen Geheimnisse zu entdecken. Zum Fazit: Würde ich es wieder kaufen? JA! Werde ich mir den Nachfolger kaufen (wenn denn einer kommt)? JA! Ich habe viele Kritiken gelesen, welche die stumpfen Charaktere und die sperrige Steuerung beklagten, vllt auch mit Recht. Nichtsdestotrotz war ich 50h bestens Unterhalten und habe noch Lust weitere 50h darin zu verbringen.
