ELEX

I like the graphics, characters, quests... but sick of dying in one hit every 5 minutes! Even with all difficulty settings on easy, the quests make you travel very far through a world filled with overpowered creatures. Time to quit.

Can't say anything about the story as I quit the game after a few minutes. The reason for that being the unbelievably bad feeling of interacting with the game. Me playing with the Xbox One controller the whole movement and orientation, the interaction with the surroundings, i.e. picking stuff up, fighting, movement in fight, felt like I played an alpha version which just got controller support. Can't enjoy a game this way, sorry.

This game looks good, but it just does not work. The combat controls do not work in any logical way. It is open world, but yet every enemy can kill the player with one hit until high level. This game had high expectations, but just does not deliver. This game is just not worth buying at all, let alone at full price.

"It's not that I don't see the advantages of this game. Quest structure, branching like a spider's web and full of consequences for the player's actions, is very impressive; just like large, bustling cities, putting the settlements from Risen 2 and 3 to shame; the ambiguity and originality of the coldness mechanic; custom in-world alphabet that one can learn to read; or the vibrance and diversity of Magalan. However, these elements are not the core of the game, they only add variety and context. The core is [...] combat and exploration: as gamers say, "Gameplay is king". Well, in our case, the gameplay is a jester kicking his legs on a toilet seat."

And no, it is by far NOT like Gothic 1 or 2. It is not 1/10 of the first PB games. It is like the boring unmature and unwanted sister of gothic 1. And considering when Elex came out it has bad graphics (which i could live with). But PB tried to go new ways with the option to focus around ranged attacks. While this is a nice idea it has the worst handling and feeling for ranged combat you could ever imagen for. But the real problem of this game is, that it is just boring. I can't remember when i was last time so bored by a game. The quests are boring, the world is boring, the story is just annoying and boring and stupid. Maybe the worst game of PB, as i cannot compare it to Gotrhic 3 which i stopped playing after the Beginning due to the broken fight system. Wasted my money fo trash.
