Not a "review". More like "thoughts"

First and foremost, Elex is a grand world designed in classic PB architecture and design. It's huge. It's open and it's dangerous. It's also quite beautiful, the world that is. However, things start to fall apart slightly when taking your eyes OFF of the world and start looking at everything else. Textures don't seem to scale properly. While I have beautiful world textures everything else from facial textures, armor and clothing textures and even set design pieces are lacking in proper upgraded textures. Some of them are downright ugly. On a UWHD monitor playing at 3440x1440 (21:9, which is supported!) some HUD elements and menus are stretched oddly. Which makes me think they didn't quite implement 100% 21:9 support. Keyboard controls need fixed asap. When I stop pressing the W key I expect my character to STOP moving. he doesn't. He likes to keep walking a few more steps every now and again. This can get you in a clutch in combat quickly. Dodging? Iffy even more. If I'm in combat sometimes my character will want to roll (I do press 2x with WAS or D) but he'll jump and fall off a cliff. Not fun. Combat focus gets wonky as well with it sometimes not properly keeping your enemy focused when battling. Again, annoyance that will get you killed. Sound design? It's not the symphonies we've heard in Gothic 3 or the Risen series but it's good. Sound effects are spot on. Weapon effects, procs, all done well too. Dialogue? It's good. I keep reading "reviews" about how terrible the voice dialogue is and I'm like, "Are we playing the same game?" It's done well. However, lip synch is atrocious at times. Other times, it's decent enough but it still could be better even for a low budget game. Voice actors do a good job also. Set design and world design is fantastic though. Thoroughly well done with secrets and dungeons, different exploration options, etc. Easily a 6-7 for now until a few patches fix what problems the game does have.

Welcome back PB

This game is a gem amongst mediocrity. Fans of Gothic have been waiting for over a decade for PB to return to their roots and they finally have with Elex. The world is brutal and you will spend your first 10 hours running away from creatures. The characters you meet are interesting and the world is beautiful to explore. You can tell PB have really thought about what made Gothic such a wonderful game and applied the same principles to Elex. I do wish they would work on their combat system, as Elex is more like Gothic 3 than 1 and the new stamina system is woeful. You should not buy this game if you're expecting something in the vain of Skyrim, Fallout or the Witcher. This game is very much a spiritual successor to Gothic and should be treated as such.

Combat issues

I loved Gothic 1 and 2. The story was great. The leveling up was great. But the fighting... oh boy. Terrible. I loved Risen as well. Grat story and everything but ther combat system... After so many complaints about Piranha bytes combat system you would think they going to improve it, but no. Elex would be a great game if they have had changed the combat system. Great story. Great characters (voice acting not so much, but hey). Great open world. But miserable combat system. Sometimes you get completly lost in combat. And the foes they follow you forever. I'm beeing attacked and my follower does nothing unless he is being attacked. Frustrating. I would have given 5 stars if the combat system were different. So just 3 stars from me.

Severely underrated

It's hard to get into. It's janky. The beginning is brutal without tutorials and monsters that kill you with one hit. I put it down for months after my first try, because the beginning was so off putting. But then I tried again and I got sucked into it. The worldbuilding and story is fantastic and full of love. Progress is really rewarding. If you like RPGs you should give this a try.

The greatest game ever by Piranha

Pluses: 1. Open world 2. Good story 3. Several endings that depend on your decisions during the passage. 4. A lot of type of weapons that changing gameplay and tactical movement Minuses: 1. Bugs, many bugs (like a jam in textures) 2. Bad adaptation of gamepads for fighting more than one enemy. (Sometimes I could not change the opponent and as a result, I was dying)
