Another lovely Gothic successor

To make it short: I've always loved the Gothic-Style RPGs and am quite happy they stay true to their roots whilst experimenting with other settings. There's nothing quite like these sort of RPGs, they are rough, unpolished and often unforgiving... yet I love them to pieces. And for this review to not be completely irrelevant, here's a pro and con list: PRO: + Atmosphere an Immersion + Soundtrack + Feeling of Secrets hidden everywhere + Open World + VERY long game + Lots to do and explore + Interesting Setting + Story is quite good CON: - Unpolished, often clunky (especially combat) - Graphics not really up to date - Very unforgiving, especially so in the beginning - The Menu structure and descriptions are horrible and are flat-out lies sometimes - Some dialogue trees make no sense ("We will meet as enemies on the battlefield, I'm afraid" - then fights alongside you) All in all, I'd recommend this game to anyone that has enjoyed a GOTHIC or RISEN game before. If you haven't... I suppose it's pretty hit-or-miss, I can imagine the difficulty at the beginning driving a LOT of people off.

Very nice surprise

When Andreas Pankratz introduced the game, I was not really excited. I was a huge fan of gothic 1-3 and risen 1, whilst risen 2-3 seemed to be pretty bad for me. When Elex was introduced, it felt liek they just wanted to do new stuff for the sake of it. Boy was I wrong. I had a lot of fun in this game. It may not be on the level of WItcher 3 and has many flaws, that's why only 4 stars. However, I naver had that mich fun and excitement exploring the map, caves and dungeons. THe start is so hard, and you are afraid to die all the time. I played as a beserk, and every skill you learned, every new armour and weapon made you really feel stronger. The map is designed so beatifully. If you live hard RPGs, and exploring beafutiful and exciting locations, this game might be what you are looking for.

Labor of Love Award

The mechanics in this game are somewhat outdated. Graphically it will win no prizes either. Main story is somewhat bland. At what point do PB just introduce a character creator? Not like Jax has any more personality than a blank sheet of paper. But god damn if this game doesn't pull you in anyways. The world is vast and lively, the side quests are interesting and the random roadside encounters you can have while just... wandering around trying to get to where you want to be are amazing. Every corner of this world feels lived in, which is a massive feat considering how many there are. Watching Rat in Tavar go from beggar who thanks me for 50 shards to basically pimp of the town because I made it so is amazing, even if it's not relevant to the whole "where's my armor and why is the world ending?" bit of the game. And while combat is clunky, it also feels great once you are actually strong enough to fight through some of the areas that were softblocked from you at the start by way of big scary thing in the road. This is not a hack'n'slash, you have to pick your encounters. Is it worth it to kill that Rotboar if I might have to take a potion or eat some food afterwards? Maybe just go around. Oops, there's a big scary crawly spidery thing there. Better just kill the pig even if it may do some damage. Overall great game I'm still not done after 30 hours and I won't be for another 30 I'd guess.

Fun game with a unique setting

This game has a bit of a learning curve. Check out some youtube videos if you feel like you aren't progressing. You can also tweak some things in the ingame options menu like setting the stamina cost to low or off if you want more fast paced combat. Don't sweat it if you die alot even on easy and normal difficulty. Several quests can be completed without combat and early game you are better off running away and avoiding enemies. This game has some jankyness with the controls but don't let that turn you off from it. The open world is beautiful and unique with large expansive areas to compliment the jetpack mechanic. The different factions are interesting and they do add to the replayability of the game. Voice acting may not be the best but there is lots of funny dialogue. The ambient exploration music is actually very well done. Elex has some rough edges but IMO this roughness adds charm to the game.

Quite amazing

Of course this is difficult to recommend to the masses/casual gamers, but it can be an enjoyable game and is definitely unique. If you are not bored/annoyed/freaking out within the first hour of gameplay, then this is probably for you. It's good to know what to expect though (PB style). It definitely lacks a proper modding community though (due to no official support), but there are some useful mods existing already and it seems that more are coming with time. Who knows, maybe someone will remaster this in future.
