The Classic Piranha Bytes Experience

If you are someone who has enjoyed the Gothic and Risen series you will know what to expect. Elex is a solid Piranha Bytes game that lives up to the expectations set by its predecessors. The world atmosphere and music are outstanding. Exploring the world with a jetpack is a pleasure that will spoil other open-world RPGs for you. Loading times are extremely fast. Your character starts extremely weak and becomes powerful later in a very satisfying way. Your character's choices matter and the different factions and playstyles add a satisfying amount of replayability. Bear in mind the studio that made the game is a small team of around 32 people. Many of the face textures are similar/identical, the graphics look dated by today's standards, and there are occasional typos in the closed captions. Overall a memorable single-player RPG experience with pretty good replayability.

Soulless and boring

Boring story, boring characters, boring loot, boring world, boring factions, boring progression. I'm a fan of Gothic 2, Gothic 3, Risen 2, and Risen 3. You esentially start in a tutorial corridor (why does Piranha game even have one?) before some NPC forces you into a lecture about factions, his opinions and life mottos. Who listens to this? Then he leads me to Goliet. Classic Gothic move-I lure an enemy to him so he kills it for me. Except... he dies. Yes. The first F*CKING ENEMY (a Reaver) killed him. Turns out, it had a skull icon, meaning it was way higher level. Then? in Goliet DOZENS OF MINUTES OF DIALOGUE. Everyone asks about factions. The city is huge, yet lifeless. NPCs are braindead—steal something, and everyone aggros on you. But lure them to a skull-level troll, and they all die. Free loot! But it's still just junk. Stealing? Pointless. NPCs don’t care if you rob them, but everything is junk. I stole a sword from Goliet’s second-highest official-only five more damage than my current garbage weapon. The Skill System – Wasting Time Spent four levels to get better shop prices. Turns out, it’s 5% better. FIVE. If something costs 10 Elexit, it still costs 10 Elexit after this useless perk. And it’s like this for everything. The skill tree is bloated with pointless perks. The Bugs Piranha Bytes games have bugs. It’s part of their charm. But ELEX is something else. If an city NPC is mad at you, ALL OTHER enemies on map ignore you. Combat Combat is dull. Every enemy has two attacks: 1. Stupid charge attack 2. Stupid ranged attack (because you have a jetpack, so everyone has range attack now) Bows? Useless. In Gothic, enemies staggered when hit, in ELEX, they don’t. The world is huge, but empty. Everything is a reskinned Gothic asset with a new name. Healing plants? Different name. Mana plants? Different name. Meatbugs? Different name. And I just don’t care. Looting is pointless. A "skull" enemy camp had a lockpick, wine, spoon, arrows in chests. Soulless.

Play it

The Begining is very hard, most enemies will kill you until you are level 10. I liked the skill System but i my opinion its a bit too easy to boost your character with elex Potions. The World and the Quests are amazing, it really feels a bit exploring Gothic with a jetpack. You have a lot of choices in the game and a lot of them have consequences, but most of the time it is your choice. Graphics is okay, maybe a bit out of date but i dont care about Graphics that much if the game is good. I also still enjoy playing Gothic 1 or Gothic 2 and not because of the great graphics. The fighting System is a bit rough and it needs some time to get used to it. A good tip for every beginner is to avoid most fights until you are level 10 or maybe later if you want to skill personality and crafting skills at the beginning. The factions are great but in my opinion it makes not that much differerence which faction you will choose. The story is great and you will find a lot of hints and eastereggs. Recommendation: Play it if you liked Games like Gothic or Fallout.

Loved it

Loved the game. The world is so diverse and rich. Exactly the oposite of what Bethesda is making, so we who love Gothic will feel right at home between two handed axes, raptors, and lazers!

Fun Game

This game is like Gothic but with a Fallout feel. I just finnished it and enjoyed it and left me wanting more. It's nice to play a game that doesnt hold your hand and makes you think a bit on combat stratagy. There is room for improvement especially the UI but that can be said for any game.
