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

Loved this

Now on endgame. The game delivers what it promised. I had lots of fun. If you are a gothic fan like me. Or elex 1 fan. You’ll like this very much. The story and the characters are as compelling as always with piranha games. The combat is fun. Abit more easy at times. But fun as always. It’s always abit different experience than the previous games. The different factions. The aliens artwork. The whole open world experience. The full immersion you get with PB games. That’s the thing. I have to say that elex and gothic are my favourite games. Risen I didn’t like so much(finished all3).

Piranha Bites at its best

Still not too far into the game, but I feel just at home in the world of Elex. Great exploration rewards everywhere.

Fun with mods

It is janky but like allmost all PB games it has some charm to it. Especially when played with some mods, that correct the most egregious shortcomings it can be quite fun.

Even more gothic in Space :)

And this is meant as a compliment ;) Absolutely solid RPG Old-School. No Hand-.Holding, no tutorials that just bore to death, no pc (!!!), but very solid story telling and gameplay. At the moment i have not tried any other language then the native german, and i hope the translations do it justice. But the german language track is one of the few game speech tracks that absolutely nails it, and not some lame-ass excuse for real talk. Love it :) In case you never played Gothic 1 or 2- this feels like it. In the best way possible imo. I can't understand what in some reviews is pinted out as eye-strain when combat starts. I got nothing of that, whith all grahipc options maxed out. One single point of critique- Jax now looks a bit like a Waschlappen. Then again, might be what is to expect after years of loafing ;)
