Over all one of my favorite games of all times. I had several breaks, but regularily came back. Exploring is so great, and they inproved the game so much. Some mechanics are not so great, for example combat. But entering your ship and exploring the world freely and finding interestine new stuff and worlds is so great!
I cannot stop playing this. I want to gather more ressources.
If you like the Gothic-like games, this is just a perfect game experience. If you don't know them, imagine skyrim with a focus on freedom, exploring and character development. I wish you could zoom in and out of the character with the mouse wheel. Otherwise, this game was very fun for me. I even stopped playing DotA2 for this completely :)
When Andreas Pankratz introduced the game, I was not really excited. I was a huge fan of gothic 1-3 and risen 1, whilst risen 2-3 seemed to be pretty bad for me. When Elex was introduced, it felt liek they just wanted to do new stuff for the sake of it. Boy was I wrong. I had a lot of fun in this game. It may not be on the level of WItcher 3 and has many flaws, that's why only 4 stars. However, I naver had that mich fun and excitement exploring the map, caves and dungeons. THe start is so hard, and you are afraid to die all the time. I played as a beserk, and every skill you learned, every new armour and weapon made you really feel stronger. The map is designed so beatifully. If you live hard RPGs, and exploring beafutiful and exciting locations, this game might be what you are looking for.
