Just finished - lvl 45, 95 hours. I do everything, pick up every stupid piece of trash, but it pays off in Pirhana Bytes games. When I got heavy weapons my game changed, but those guns are expensive to shoot! If I play through again I will try melee. Elex is Pirhana Bytes evolved. Fantastic world to explore, truly original world and lore concepts, but the jank is real. In it's time Skyrim was the best of the open world rpg's. Then Witcher 3 was top dog. In my mind the Elex series is the reigning champ...for now :) Elder Scrolls 6 is coming, Starfield, Avowed from Obsidian - exciting times my friends! I wish CDPR had gone a different direction that cyberpunk. I have no desire to play that one.
OH MY GOD!!! I have to look at Slitherine's splash screen to get to my game!! STFU you whiney little vaginas. Slitherine saved this game, and they're making a sequel. They let Seravy sell his awesome mods on top of it. I'm going to buy Caster of Magic for Windows right now just to spite you snivellers. This game is the best 4x ever .
I really want to get into the old crpgs, but they are just so boring/slow. This game is full of action, interesting dialogue and pretty much open world with tons to do. This game is hard, but very rewarding. It's the kind of game where after you play awhile, you want to play again with a different build. A guy said it crashes all the time on him??? I play this on a laptop potato and it's never crashed, though I did have to go and download some weird windows patch for it to work - it's a 2 second download and it's direct from microsoft. For $15 this is a steal :) The psi update sucks, but if you're on GOG it's super simple to just load up the previous version, which is what I play on.
