Can't rebind some keys!

Seriously, ID software figured this out 20 years ago. I don't care how little or underfunded your company is, this is not complicated! PC Gamers, by and large have keys they're accustomed to using. WASD is a TERRIBLE keyboard layout leftover from two player games on Apple IIs. ALL KEYS SHOULD BE REBINDABLE! Not only is it impossible in game to bind the keys I want, there doesn't even seem to be a reasonable workaround like a .ini file I can edit. There's a big thread on Steam from 2018 where they tried to figure this out, contacted the publisher, still they haven't fixed it? Just shows a lazy developer and I'm sure the port will aggravate me in other ways. I hate being irritated by a game before I can even started playing in this way.

Piranha Bytes jank...

PROS: + large open world to explore with no hand-holding + no map full of question marks and markers + blends fantasy, sci-fi & post-apocalypse + jetpack allows for (limited) vertical exploration + actions and consequences CONS: -- combat is typical Piranha Bytes jank: it's terrible - mediocre presentation, outdated graphics, wooden animations, bad sounds and mediocre voice acting, repetitive character models - AI pretty bad - conversations carry on during combat - menues are horrible to navigate - "cold meter" (this game's version of a moral meter) is only shown as a single word - bland quests - bad writing/script BOTTOM LINE: If you are like me and love to explore huge open worlds to the fullest but hate the hand-holding and map markers and flashy GPS symbols everywhere, then ELEX will keep you occupied for a very long time, if you are willing to ignore the typical Piranha Bytes jank and baggage. The combat is clunky and bad. It is easily the worst part of the game and somewhat reminiscent of their earlier games (GOTHIC series). It also maintains key features of these games, such as the slow progression from stick wielding wimp to somewhat capable fighter, the division of the games in difficulty zones (you are free to go wherever you want but the enemies are not scaled to your level), and the different factions. On the ugly side you got the mediocre presentation: while the landscape looks good and offers a lot of diversity, character models don't, many of which a copy & paste jobs (female models in particular), animations are stiff, sound effects poor and the voice acting mediocre at best. I did not care for the writing in the game and the quest design, which kind of makes you everyone's biatch with your tedious, standard fetch & collect quests. Overall I kinda liked it for the most part, but it has some serious flaws and jank to it as well. I recommend buying at a sale ($10 max.).

Enjoyed

I bought this game on sale. Aftering readin some of the reviews I thought it best to wait for a sale. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this game. Yes, it definitely has it faults (but then again what game doesn't?). Some of the reviews about its glitchiness are legitimate, but not all. So read them with a grain of salt. Anyway, I found the transition to cut scenes a bit jarring because it seemed to happen at the most inopportune moments. Controls for the combat system seem to not register as one might expect, certainly not instant to my key presses. I am using a Razer Huntsman TE TKL keyboard so the linear switches sensitivity could have some effect, I expected a quicker response to my key presses but this was not the case, nevertheless I will test this when I do another playthough with a different keybaord. So, combat and cutscenes were the main issues for me but by no means did these make the game unplayable, for me. What I enjoyed was the exploration, the story, the build up to getting stronger in combat strength etc...as I leveled up. The side quests and choice system and its impact to the story. the jet pack. I can't wait for Elex 2 and the hopeful continuation of the story. I think it's worth a buy on sale.

My PBs Nr. 2 after Gothic.

I did not have high expectations of this game, I liked Gothic 2 a lot and enjoyed Risen 1, but this futuristic fallout-ish fantasy story did not fit so well with my PB image. And then I tried it out, and found out I could not let go. The workd is beautiful, even tranquil sometimes, much in contrast to the beasts that roam it and want to kill you with one blow :-). Exploration is rewarding. Game mechanics are good, fighting is good, and the story is captivation. Above all this, it preserves the spirit of PBs games, it is hard in the beginning, and every fight won is an acomplishment. I had a lot of fun with this game.
