A disappointing mess
Elex 2 is a technical marvel. For a team of 30ish people to create a game on this scale in a completely in-house engine, with this graphical fidelity, in which you can literally soar along through the sky like Iron Man with no loading screens, is a truly amazing feat. It's a pity they sacrificed everything else that mattered in order to pull it off. PB's desire to break into the mainstream and compete with AAA titles has resulted in further and further watering down of their games, ultimately leaving us with titles that will please nobody -- too generic and poorly balanced for core fans, and never going to be polished enough for average gamers. Here are some of the problems with Elex 2: - Very little personality/charm/humour -- staples that held together the messes that were Risen 2 and 3 - Stats like str/con/int etc. increase your damage/health by such a tiny amount as to be functionally meaningless, despite promises from the devs. I'll put it in perspective: to double your damage with an end-game weapon, you would need to invest all stat points in strength for about 850 level ups in a row -- you will finish the game around level 40. - The world is about 6x bigger than it needs to be, resulting in lots of generic nothingness. Enemies respawn everywhere so you don't actually need to explore to level up. There is very little by way of interesting loot, other than fuel upgrades for your jetpack, which admittedly are very fun to find while they last - Unfortunately, in one of the most self-destructive game design decisions I've ever seen, they severely limited the amount you can upgrade your jetpack so that you will cap it out by early/mid-game -- you won't be able to fly the way you can in the trailer, and without the incentive of finding fuel, exploration starts to feel pointless - Magic/2-handers don't work with jetpack, so you will always end up using 1h weapons regardless of build - Magic balancing is awful - oh no I'm out of characters to complain with
