Exploration Personified.
The exploration and world building in Elex 2 is excellent. Let down only by performance issues. I am running the game on a AMD 5800 X and RX 6700 XT and it should not be holding at a average 27 FPS. Adjusting the settings to medium/low does not have bring any improvements. People with much higher and much lower setups than mine have been reporting similar performance issues with both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs so it seems it is not a machine specific problem and more about optimization. Since it;s launch they have addressed the issue with the Vega GPUs and added in a static alt camera mode. I am confident given time that they will address the performance issues and bugs. As it stands right now it might be a mixed bag for some as far as performance and impacted game play goes. As far as the story, writing, acting, and sound, well, it is a PB game. It has the jank that they are known for. And yet, there is something enduring about their game design. Despite it's many flaws the world building draws the player in. Exploring the interesting ruins, seeing the changes of the first game and the attention to detail with the games geography and structures over the time between the first and second game. It is something to behold. PD excels at environmental story telling and world building. This is their strong suit. Go into the game keeping that in mind. The story continues the first game with the signal sent out by the Hybrid reaching its source as a new menace reaches Magellan. The writing and story beats are pretty average and it follows the same progression as the first game. They improved on the faction system by not rail roading you along to join one nearly as much but like the first game I dont really feel any great connection with any of them as much as I would like. The effects are nice with birds flying around, trees blowing in the wind, and there is a day night cycle but some of the textures are rough. 4 stars for the game it could be . 3 for what it is.
