True successor to Gothic series.

Piranha Bytes truly went to the next level with this game. This game borrows all the good aspects from the previous PB's games, while creating a completely new setting (because of this, I initially viewed this game with extreme skepticism) and adding a new semi-morality system (it's complicated actually). As mentioned above, a new feature in this game (compared to previous PB titles) is the "cold" system. Essentially it's a theme of "emotion vs cold logic" (NOTE: it's not "evil vs good", although you can be a dick if that's your intention) , during quests you will be able to choose different outcomes which will affect your aligment and will unlock new choices on later quests based on your aligment. The atmosphere is by far the game's best aspect. Elex's world is a mixture of Fallout, post-apocalyptic natural sceneries (you know, those melancholic wallpapers of forests "swallowing" rusted sattelites) and some high-tech cities. Awesome ambient music also further enhances the experience. Finally, you can actually discover a LOT of the game's lore by exploring as there are many old notes,diaries,recordings and knowledgeable people to interact with. Also let's address the elephant in the room: the combat. First things first: it's not polished but it's not bad either (it's actually an improvement over previous PB's games combat). Just remember 3 facts: - some bugs sexist. - it's not designed with button-smashing in mind, you are supposed to wait for an opening in order to strike (dodge/block till the opportunity arises). - use ONLY combos (light attack + heavy attack + Q etc). and you should be fine (you might even enjoy it as I did). A final point I'd like to raise is that Elex's devs had promised that this game will be one-time buy, with full content. And since they kept their promises, by supporting them you are in a way contributing to combating this recent mess about excessive DLCs or predatory microtransactions that's plaguing the video game industry.

True Open World. Great Fun.

This was a game I will remember. I played it all last winter and it got me through the tough winter months. It is a TRUE open world experience. And it has a LOT of variety. The thing about this game which you should be aware of is that it starts off kind of lame...but begins to chug after about 7 to 12 hours of game time. At first, the combat might feel kind of dopey, but again, in time, it gets really fun. There's a lot of 'timing' to the combat, so unlike other games, you actually have to get good at it as opposed to mindless button mashing. The world is vast and very fun. The weapon selection is super cool. Yes, you CAN become incredibly overpowered if you work to get a hold of the strongest particle beam rifle in the game, but even so, it can take a long time to get it...and once you get it, the game will be at least half to 3/4 done. The game can be pretty tough if you wander into an area where there are a lot of high level enemies...so if you wish to explore the vast world ahead of the story...be prepared to do so only at night, while sneaking... which is what I myself did, and I enjoyed it very much. The variety of factions can be fun, and a few times I actually laughed out loud at some of the quest characters delivery. Which reminds me : You like quests? More quests? And lots more quests after that? The game has an abundance of quests. I had some experiences with this game that I will never forget, and the game allows you over come certain higher level enemies with a creative use of what is available to you, be it explosives, or any number of other things like fire arrows etc. It is just a fun game if you truly love playing TRUE open world type games. Graphics : Somewhat out of date, but not really. It holds up as it is, and it looks pretty good, and in some areas of the world, it looks FANTASTIC. I'm picky about graphics, and this game never had me feeling bad about its 'look'. In all of the 200 hours or so that I played, I did not encounter a single bug, and I think I may have had to restart only once or twice...so, for me, it was a rock solid gaming experience and I truly hope they make another one... I myself paid full price for this game when it was released, and I don't have any regrets. Just remember that the game's first few hours can be somewhat bland....before it gets going and becomes super fun. I enjoyed being able to play one faction against another. I also liked the whore-ish companion with the tattoo's and bad language.

Meh, not even good as a Gothic-like game

Due to the interesting general concepts and story introduced at the start of the game, and because the game borrows heavily from Gothic series (especially Gothic 3), I started playing this on a hopeful note. The moralizing system for classifying the player based on decisions is good, and the mobility of the character is probaby one of the most enjoyable parts of the game. Unfortunately, the more I played it, the more I despised the game designers for ruining something that could have been great. It's a space magic game filled with tedium.
