Dans ELEX, vous rejoignez une véritable guerre pour le contrôle d'une puissante ressource qui donne aux gens d'incroyables pouvoirs quasi magiques, mais qui les transforme en créatures d'une indifférence froide. C'est vous qui décidez ce qui régira le monde de Malagan : émotions et humanisme, ou froide logique artificielle.

Bad, and not even in interesting ways
I really struggle to understand what the people giving this game a 4/5 or even 5/5 see in it. From me, it gets 1 star for being functional *in a purely technical sense* and another for the visual design, which in a few places is pretty and somewhat interesting (even though the graphical fidelity isn't what it should have been in 2017). That's the good over with. THE BAD: - The main story is entirely forgettable. - Much of the dialogue is *aggressively* bad (both in English and German), both in terms of writing and in delivery of the voice acting. - All of the factions - and, like Gothic, you need to join a faction to progress in the plot - are completely unlikeable. Here are your choices: you can side with a) the magic tree Nazis, b) the desert meth Nazis or c) the techno-church Nazis. - The world is much bigger than it needs to be to contain what it does. It feels empty and pointless in a lot of places. - The combat is *monumentally* awful. They went for a Dark Souls-esque combat system but didn't understand what makes Dark Souls combat work on a very fundamental level. A combat system like that needs very careful tweaking and balancing to be challenging but fun. This is just a frustrating mess. I could go on about the quest design and faction mechanics and whatnot, but the game really doesn't justify the effort. As the title says: it's bad, and it's not even bad in interesting ways. The ideas put into this game were very average to begin with and then the execution was terrible on top of that. Give this one a miss. And while I have you here: *please* stop buying games just because they're "by" someone. And for the love of God stop DEFENDING/PRAISING games just because they're "by" someone. The glory days of Piranha Bytes are long gone. Even as far back as 2002/2003, only *one* of the original founders of the studio remained. It's just a company using the name to get nostalgia dollars out of old people like us, they don't need supporting or defending.
