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

Game itself is good

Like the first episode, like this one. Not much has changed. Overall fine even if at some point it gets repetitive. 4 star because on a relative strong hw the vga (4k monitor but game running in 1080p) is acting like a jet engine during take-off.

Clunky, but worth a try

I would say that game is 3.5 stars. Main issue - clunky combat. Spells/skills are missing, it's very, very annoying. Still, story/quests are at least "ok", music is "ok+", completed the game, and faced just a few minor bugs. If you liked the first Elex - you will like this one.

Great successor to the original ELEX

The game is very, very good. I love what seem to be random events in which you can choose a side while exploring or walking around cities. I also love the characters, both Jax's companions and others in the world of Elex. I can feel a strong connection to them much like in Mass Effect, which is the benchmark for that imho. Magalan has also changed a lot since the original Elex and additional factions are a breath of fresh air. Pretty much every game system/mechanic is improved over Elex 1. Not sure what that FoV and camera zoom issue people are complaining about is, but I've been playing for three whole days without any issues. If you liked the original game, I strongly recommend this one as well. If you're still not convinced, I advise you to dig deeper and find those few game review pages where people actually know what they're talking about and are not trash talking the game just because it's not from a major studio or does not have the same mechanics like some other hyped up recent game. I am truly baffled by the awful reviews this game is getting. P.S. Game runs fine maxed out on RTX2080 @ 3440x1440. Unless you're totally obsessed with playing at 144/240/360fps, you'll be fine.
