Horrible sequel

I love Elex 1 in almost every aspect of the game. I did wait this for a long time and....i got totally disappointed. 1) The map. How it's possible that I have explored Magalan more than 20 times and in this sequel I can't recognize it ? They cut around Tavar, stretched and deformed it, adding places that never existed before, and call this mess a world. 2) the combat system. What can I say ? totally boring, nothing else. The "Ironman" experience is disappointing, the 2 handed melee weapons are useless, no tactics are required. Just click the mouse fast as much as you can. In elex 1 the Jetpack was well balanced, useful to escape but not too powerful to totally avoid danger. 3) Quests. The quests are stupids, almost useless even to tell a story. The "Crater Siege" is the worst, 1 hour on the mountains to kill 3 animals and walk 3 minutes to reach the next 3, for a total of 100. 4) the technical requirements. Not only the ground seems more fake than Elex 1, it requires a LOT better hardware to run. The game itself was unplayable for months, before they puke out the DX12 patch. In short: Is it so difficult to KEEP the same map and the same mechanics and why not even the graphic models, sparing some time in order to focus on writing a good story, instead of making a mess to improve (and here I laugh) the graphic engine ? Bad, very Bad, useful only to know the story of the comet.

A flawed yet captivating experience

Good stuff first. One of it's best qualities is the sense of exploration and adventure. The world invites you to explore. Once you set off on your journey through Magalan, you will almost allways have something new and interesting on your horizon to check out. The jetpack adds another layer to exploration and is very much appreciated. If you like open world games and exploring, you should dig what Elex 2 has to offer. The main story is OK. Where the meat of the game (story-wise) for me lies in ppl's stories in the world. Their inter-personal relationships, their past decisions, conflicts between factions and so on. Since I also played Elex 1, it was interesting to see how the world changed between the two games. I also like the presentation fo the game. The game can look quite pretty at times. The lighting system in particular, mixed with fog and some god rays, can make the scenery look quite striking. Voice acting is done well, making most characters believable. The music, well, it's there. I didn't feel the need to mute it so there's that I suppose. Now for the bad stuff. This game feels very dated. The best comparison I can make is Fallout 4. I said earlier the game CAN look pretty but only from a distance and in specific situations - when there's strong source of light in the scene. Otherwise, the game looks like it's 10+yr old. Same goes for character and facial animations or controls. It all looks and feels janky. The biggest flaw of the game is performance. I can go from 110+ fps in Ignadon to barely 60 in the Fort, what the hell ? It was even worse with the DX11 executable... Dips like that are very noticeable and distracting. I also had a problem where the game would just hang after the first two intro movies. The only way I could make it work is deleting Elex 2 folder from AppData/Local. It was quite annoying. If you are willing to put up with the game's jank, performance issues and other issues, it does offer a captivating experience. You decide :)

Good Game Thus Far

I'm not experiencing any performance problems, although I have to disclose that I don't have a little number somewhere on the screen that I obsess over. Just playing is fine, no input lag or stuttering, all good. FoV is too small out of the gate, but easily enlarged in the config file after which you just set it to read-only. Looks real fine at 110. The facial construction is a bit wierd, but once you put your shades on you look pretty good! I don't like being cast as a deadbeat dad or the snippy reparte between self and former lover, pretty lame. Same with having to drag a "magic kid" around. The severe uptick in f-bombs isn't helping either. But I guess PB has elected to dumb down to Bethesda levels to grab some of that market. Probably inevitable, but really breaks my heart. Melee combat works a lot better, no getting beat to death ten times by the first bird you encounter as in the first game. Much more forgiving, and you aren't forced into ranged first thing. I'll update as I go, just a few hours in at the moment. Overall solid good thus far.

a good piranha bytes game

pros + combat feels smoother than elex 1 + 3 main fractions and 2 sub fractions with nested quest lines + way better attribute and skill progression than elex 1 + huge world that is fun to explore + piranha bytes formula cons - lighting sometimes does terrible things to the character models, especially their eyes can get creepy - graphic bugs (textures sometimes disappear; but I'm playing on linux with wine - so maybe thats the cause of that)
