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 love it

I liked Elex 1, but I really love part 2. It has a lot of improvements, such as a much more appealing inventory, better quick inventory handling, a skull mark for enemies stronger than you (!), five really interesting factions and new jetpack abbilities. It is still not the game I would recommend to everybody, but it has this very unique and enjoyable overall tune that made me enjoy every minute in Elex 2. A lot of nice decisions have to be made, there is good environmental story telling, a lot of humor, and... whiskey and pills.

PiranhaBytes open world

the kind of rpg you want for relaxing nights of gameplays without any stressful content. The atmosphere is sublime and the graphics engine offers charming landscapes. No boring content. Modding community is already vast (you can find mods in nexusmods website). Good optimization and directx 12 just added. I loved the risen series because of pirates and tropical islands but elex world is interesting too. World is very varied

Great as always

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

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.
