If you are someone who has enjoyed the Gothic and Risen series you will know what to expect. Elex is a solid Piranha Bytes game that lives up to the expectations set by its predecessors. The world atmosphere and music are outstanding. Exploring the world with a jetpack is a pleasure that will spoil other open-world RPGs for you. Loading times are extremely fast. Your character starts extremely weak and becomes powerful later in a very satisfying way. Your character's choices matter and the different factions and playstyles add a satisfying amount of replayability. Bear in mind the studio that made the game is a small team of around 32 people. Many of the face textures are similar/identical, the graphics look dated by today's standards, and there are occasional typos in the closed captions. Overall a memorable single-player RPG experience with pretty good replayability.
