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.

You know when you really really want to play something, but you can't get past how clunky it is? So, yeah.

Great PB game
Couple of hours in and i had to turn the difficulty down from ultra as i kept getting rekt. Game is smooth, some people on steam are complaining the voice acting is terrible, i actually think its pretty good. Doesn't have sli and at 4k i can't run it on a single 980 which is a shame, but 60fps at 1440 maxed.

A rough gem, but soo good
Alright, my first ever game review. Elex is an unpolished gem, in some ways. The story is a little bit of a slow starter, but ramps up realy good. The mix-up of fantasy (Clerics, axes/bows/magic), current tech (Outlaws, chems/projectile weapons) and sci-fi (clerics, energy weapons/psi powers) is nicely done. It begs you to have multiple playthoughs, as you can only join one faction at a time. Every weapon (axes/swords/hammers, current projectile weapons and plasma/laser rifles) are viable gameplay styles. Magic, Psi powers and chem-fueled bonuses are available as soon as you join the faction that uses them. [As for the balance of these powers, I can't say too much about that. I only played as clerics (psi) so far] . The combat is, at times, clanky and has annoying bugs in it (can't aim with ranged weapons from time to time). Also, at the start, basicly every enemy has a real good chance to kill you. But as you progress in the game, you get better gear, better stats and better skills. The amount of skills is also a big plus point. The reward when you finally can kill bigger enemys is sooo satisfying. It still has annoying bugs in it, like not be able to save if you have a lot of save files. Or some graphical glitches here and there (for me they were realy rare) But all in all the game, for what it is, and who made it, is a fantastic game. Everyone who can look under the hood of a game, and can tolerate some clankyness, will have a blast of a time playing this game.

awesome game
The graphics are great after you get used with them. The world has a lot of details. The voice acting is great. I do not need recognizable voices from Hollywood in all of my games. No problems on ultrawide rez, thx devs. Finished the game the first time with no game breaking issues. Great story and gameplay. I had lots of fun. Only played it twice so far.

Back to new roots
First of all: It's a Piranha Bytes RPG. You can feel it the very first minute in the game. But to compare it with Gothic wouldn't be fair. It's something new and unique. The world ist fresh, full of life and well shaped. It is made for adults and not for children and their children childrens like it was with Risen. Exploring is fun again and every faction in game has its own charm. Moreover their are credible again. The factions in Risen were a joke. Five people were forming that faction. And so I had a lot of fun with Elex. The german localization is good, while the english localization may be even better, but I can't complain. I've played over 60h so far and I am still not trough. You should definitely give it a try!
