ELEX

Really good game with nice open world which doesn't feel empty. Beginning is rough, which makes each early progress feel very rewarding. I like the identity of the fractions, all of them feel very different, so you can choose the one, which fits you well. Companions are memorable, all of them have a nice background, so I actually wanted to have them travelling with me. Sure, there are some parts, which can be improved, but pros surely overwhelm them.

I did enjoy the game a lot more then I thought I would since it had such a weird mix of middle age and sci-fi in the game. It actually worked out very well. The story, characters, music and the world is great. There is so much to explore and many times you get rewarded for it. Combat felt a bit like Risen 3 again and I didn't like it then and I still find it to be the weak part of the game. These teleporting attacks are just silly and yes you can learn how to deal with it but still. Hitboxes are also weird especially with 2h weapons. There is crafting in the game for weapons, foods, potions, chems and gems. You also have to pick a faction but you can wait to do that until very late so you can do plenty of quests for each one. Many choices you do will affect the outcome of quests, characters, companions and the ending. For some reason they made nights almost bright as days. Luckely there is a mod to fix only that. Enjoyed the game even with its flaws. If you will play it on ultra difficulty don't worry. You can do so many quests without fighting. Also use companions, guards and other ways to get things handled. Be creative!

Buy this instead of those AAA games plagued with expensive-as-sh** DLCs and micro-transactions. Get "games as a service" back to the ash heap of gaming history!

I dont regret buying it. Nice looking world,diversity between frozen wastelands and lush forest etc Clunky but not annoying combat(at least i test so far old fashioned meele and bows) Story seems to be consistent without any plotholes so far. Enemies are challenging sometimes even very annoying due their tactic quantity over quality and hey diffrent species of animals or whatever other things are fighting each other wich can be taken as advantage Companions are actually usesfull(i highly recommend u to get C.R.O.N.Y asap if u play on highest difficulties,very usesfull little one) Jetpack good remedy on that blasted mountains and open up new way to run for urs life or tactical advantage(in my case mostly running) Music is okay nothing special yet nothing that would make my ears bleed Main character is likeable(i like his collected nature) Good optimization stable fps no drops.no crashes.

Got this as boxed version. In short: If you already know and love other games from Piranha Bytes, this should be a no brainer. Even if the setting might put you off at first, give it a shot. It's a cool game in the way you came to love them. Everyone else: I can only encourage you to give Elex a try and have some patience. You really need to invest a couple of hours to come to grips with it. Do this and it might well be you'll catch the Piranha Bytes bug, well... no pun intended, but yeah, their games got bugs. Just save and quicksave the s**t out of it and you'll be fine. Speaking for myself, I'm a complete sucker for any PB game. IDK these games just have a certain groove that I totally dig.
