Description
ELEX II is the sequel to ELEX, the vintage open-world role-playing experience from the award-winning creators of the Gothic and Risen series, Piranha Bytes. ELEX II returns to the post-apocalyptic Science Fantasy world of Magalan – with massive environments that can be explored with unrivaled freedom via jetpack, you will be able to move through the epic story any way you want.

Several years after Jax defeated the Hybrid, a new threat arrives from the sky, unleashing the dangerous powers of dark Elex and endangering all life on the planet. In order to defend the peace on Magalan and the safety of his own family, Jax has to go on a mission to convince the factions to unite against the invaders and find his own son, Dex, who got separated from him …
Dive into a huge, hand-crafted, completely unique world with multiple factions and diverse environments set in a post-apocalyptic science fantasy universe.

The game allows you to:

  • explore the planet of Magalan with unprecedented freedom, using your trusted jetpack to traverse the map and even fly!
  • interact with a lived-in world, full of unique NPCs, who
    • will remember what you’ve done and react accordingly
    • will join or leave your group depending on how you behave
    • are able to be killed, which will have an effect on the story
  • engage in fluid close and ranged combat with a massively improved control system
  • experience a story where your actions have consequences, immersing you in a world of moral decisions

I'm happy with it thus far.

2 1/2 to 3 hours played, I think, and I am not having the performance problems others report. I play at 3440x1440 and max settings with a RTX 3090 and a Ryzen 5800X. I don't monitor fps, but there have not been noticeable drops. I almost took pass due to reviews of the FOV as well as checking it out on some streams. The FOV zoom does not bother me, though. I don't doubt it's a problem for some, and while a FOV slider would be nice, the game's not making me sick. I sit just over an arm's length from the 34" monitor. Otherwise, the cosmetics, mechanics, voice acting and story are consistent with expectations based on the first Elex. I agree with those reviewers who find the combat with monsters more forgiving early on. I'm playing on Hard, which is the second highest difficulty. The economy is about the same. Three stars out of five is good.

5 out of 5 stars

Everything is great about it, the performance, the combat, the world, it's everything I expected from a sequel from Elex, and everything I expected from Piranha Bytes, which is a good thing. The storyline is a great sequel to the first game. The exploration is a lot of fun, also enjoyable to see the changes of some areas from the first game. The combat is a lot of fun. Flying with upgraded jet pack is "weeeeeeeee"!!!

better visually but still the same.

Sadly the developers didn't update elex 2 very much except visually over the first game. Basically the same game just better looking, and slightly more boring. The game mechanics and camera are the same, all the problems of the first game just carried over into this one, and really none of the old problems fixed. Like the first game, its a good game but not great. For those who play these games, any good game is a must have to grab on sale and play but i suggest playing Elex 1 first and decide if you like it. If you do or don't, just remember Elex 2 is exactly the same and you will like or dislike it exactly as much as you did with the first game. The only thing i think they upgraded and did better in the 2nd was adding a couple features to your jetpack to let you fly and travel much faster, which was nice.

If you like the previous RPGs by Piranha Bytes, you will probably also like this one.
