So after a few hours of playing, I'll give you a little review here. So far I really like Elex 2, as expected. Of course, the shortcomings in terms of graphics cannot be overlooked. The landscapes are well done and there is once again a lot to explore and discover. However, the faces and their animations are really not that good, to put it diplomatically. Especially the faces of children (yes, they exist now, a first in a Piranha Bytes game) look terrible in parts... But otherwise the presentation has really progressed, despite the somewhat dusty engine. A large part of the negative reviews here and on other platforms result from the, also in my eyes, weak design decision to place the camera too close to the player character. I don't really like that either. But overall I really like the game so far and it has made good progress in many areas, especially the battles are now much smoother than in the predecessor, although there are still some clunky moments here and there. I hope that Piranha Byte will improve here and there, which I strongly suspect. But even so, I give it an absolute thumbs up, especially for players who already liked the predecessor. Thank you Piranha Bytes, I'm looking forward to playing your game again and that's the best thing you can say about a game :) Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
