Good start, meh mechanics, poor ending
Elex is a type of game that makes excellent impression at first glance, but the further you go, the less appealing it become. At start, you got blasted with vast and open post industrial (or post apocaliptic, depending, what part of map you visit) world, that can be explored on foot or by jetpack, quite engaging main plot, factions with different lore and viewpoints, important choises to make and so on. It's like typical Gothic game, but with enhanced story, better graphics and pretty well made blend of fantasy, sci-fi and modern references. NPCs have quite a lot of line to tell and even main character moves without typical Piranha's stiffness. What could go wrong? After initial part of game, you get into endless string of standard "go there-do thing-come for reward" quests. Sometimes you get some more complex, but also not really memorable task, which sometimes goes so silly, that you hardly believe what you just saw. One taskgiver need you to bring master tactican to lead nearly impossible to success massive siege. You bring him master tactician, who order ... frontal assault. No stratagems, no tactics, just human wave running straight into enemy line. Job well done. Main story goes fine until halfway, then dev team simingly ran out of time, because the quality goes down in shocking pace. From tight net of seemingly inscrutable intriques to ... well, heap of wet cardboard. It was very disappointing. Exploration is ok, however you'll keep finding either some basic stuff or unique items, that you won't use unless buffing yourself over the charts. Character progresssion in as painfully generic as it could be. Figthing is less lifeless than in previous Piranha's productions, but it quickly come obvious, that way to success is through repeating certain actions rather than adapting anything new. To sums up: Is Elex worth to try? Yes, but overall it goes as mediocre as possible, so waiting for discount is advisable.
