ELEX is a handcrafted action role-playing experience from the award-winning creators of the Gothic series, set in a brand new post-apocalyptic Science Fantasy universe that puts players into a huge seamless game world full of original characters, mutated creatures, deep moral choices and powerful action.
In ELEX, you join the war over a powerful resource that gives people great magic-like powers but turns them into indifferent cold creatures. You decide if emotions and humaneness or cold synthetic logic will rule the world of Magalan.
Completely seamless Open World experience without borders and loading zones for the ultimate exploration experience
Vertical Exploration: Use the jetpack to reach any place in the game world
Simulated game world where everything reacts to the players actions and provides for an authentic atmosphere
Highly interconnected quest system that support true player choices
Tactical and challenging combat system for close and ranged combat
Universe set in a post apocalyptic science fantasy universe that combines the most interesting aspects of all genres
Elex has a lot of issues, from janky hitboxes to very unintuitive progression, the story is okay and exploring is fun, but since progression is weird you rarely get to to it, it's one of those "have a wiki page open at all times so that you know what to do because the game never explains it" kinda game, at least as far as progression goes
Put around 100 hrs on xbox one. The game isn't perfect and does have some bugs, it's still one of my all time favorite rpgs. The atmosphere, factions, lore, world building and exploration are all 10/10. There is a ton to like here. It also looks pretty nice too!
For every thing you find you really love about this game there will be 10 other things you hate,avoid.
i can't tell if the developers were incompetent,spiteful or stupid but playing this game is like fighting the mechanics every step of the way.
Before I start my rant I would like to point out that this game had so much potential
- the story is interesting
- the voice acting while clunky is charming
- the environment design and lighting is top notch
- costume and weapon design is amazing; even low level armour looks amazing.
- interesting factions and well optimised at launch.
However, the game has too many issues that it really should not have.
- combat is completely unbalanced, your stamina and hp do not reflect the strenght of the monsters.
- the AI follower lacks any capability and is more of an annoyance than a useful gameplay mechanic.
- crafting has lower yield than costs, mostly because of perks.
- Jax looks like a malformed potato and lacks any emotion in his speech.
- no character editor or even points to start out with at least something so you don't get mauled by the first creature you see.
- a general lack of good combat mechanics. They feel dull, empty and clunky at best.
That said, I hope the devs will eventually solve these problems so that game can rise to its full potential instead of being lost in a sea of better games to play.
