crashy crashy

crashy crashy, five dolla ... FIFTY? I was looking forward to Elex II after Elex, no, really. I liked the world building, stories, factions, and even the quirks were feeling OK to me. Reusing the world map - well, that's kind of cheap, but it also can provide an interesting take: revisit all the locations and see what's changed, what's developed... so, my expectations were about story, characters, lore. I didn't need much technical improvements, but I would've of course welcomed them; the list of possible improvements was pretty long. Again: I even would've accepted the same engine with new content. But what I got is a game so unstable it is unplayable. And it's now 10 Months after initial release, during which they could've fixed it. Kind of sad. Crashy Crashy, but this disappointment costs not 5, but still 50! So, unless they get it fixed - or unless you can get it for 5 - spend your time and money on something else.

Disappointment

I really enjoyed the original Elex game. I loved all the previous games studio was responsible for, more or less I enjoyed them all. Now this abomination... When playing it on my ps5 or PC, I felt all the negative emotions I ever felt playing Piranha games ever. Like, emptiness of the world a.k.a gothic 3 had, very bad and pointless dialogs, horrible faces of npcs, bad optimization, etc. I just don't understand, how could they bring this abomination to life. Most probable I'll end the game, but I hate myself for playing it.

Great as always

BTW there is a mod for FOV, on which everyone is complaining on Nexus.

It's....Ok.

I've played much much worse. It is trying to give off Witcher 3 vibes, but with the janky controls and graphics of Witcher 1 and 2. Voice acting leaves much to be desired. Controls are infuriating. Trying to move one foot to the left makes you move ten feet to the left. Story is ok. Quest objectives are completely vague and nebulous. If you were to walk away from the game for a long time and forget what was going on, you'd be lost on your quests. I can forgive lack of quest markers, that is just immersive. But I cannot forgive that your quest log doesn't even give you directions.

Another Elex

I played Elex II from it was released. Apart from a super sensitive mouse issue that was fixed ln the first day I encountered no bugs during my play through. Elex II was fun to play, a bit easier than Elex I on normal setting and included many quests and places to discover. Compared to Elex I, I found Elex II to be quite similar. Some things are better in Elex II and some are better in Elex I. After getting used to the NPCs (anyone remember Mass Effect Andromeda?) I enjoyed the game. A big addition this time was the Mor(k)ons, but as I didn't particularly liked that faction they were basically non existing in the game to me. So they felt a bit like an odd addition, but if you like them then there is lots new to explore. Elex I had the advantage of being new and novel, while in Elex II you know the background (if you played Elex I). Eventhough Elex II had better technical graphics, Elex I had IMHO a better art style and feel to the graphics. Fighting was better in Elex II and some of the interactions. As I said somethings are better in each game. Given what I know today, would I still have bought the game? Absolutely. Elex I, I gave a slod 5 star. Elex II, I would give 4.5, but as that is not possible and it is not a 4 star game I rounded up to 5. Hope that helps. As to the camera they have now fixed an option in the menu for that.
