ELEX II

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.

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.

Being a fan of Elix 1 I had high hopes. Game play was still challenging and yet exploration was dialed back. The mix between game play and cut scenes was average. Decent controls. However, the story can be extremely frustrating. If you made certain choices in Elix 1, like whom you hooked up with, your faction of choice or how you ended the game; it does not carry through. The only used one possible outcome of many and it killed the story line and did affect the game.

Old Style hardcore RPG. Love it

Super game. Love it same as Elex 1
