Description

ELEX II is the sequel to ELEX, the vintage open-world role-playing experience from the award-winning creators of the Gothic and Risen series, Piranha Bytes. ELEX II returns to the post-apocalyptic Science Fantasy world of Magalan – with massive environments that can be explored with unrivaled freedom via jetpack, you will be able to move through the epic story any way you want.

Several years after Jax defeated the Hybrid, a new threat arrives from the sky, unleashing the dangerous powers of dark Elex and endangering all life on the planet. In order to defend the peace on Magalan and the safety of his own family, Jax has to go on a mission to convince the factions to unite against the invaders and find his own son, Dex, who got separated from him …
Dive into a huge, hand-crafted, completely unique world with multiple factions and diverse environments set in a post-apocalyptic science fantasy universe.

The game allows you to:

  • explore the planet of Magalan with unprecedented freedom, using your trusted jetpack to traverse the map and even fly!
  • interact with a lived-in world, full of unique NPCs, who
    • will remember what you’ve done and react accordingly
    • will join or leave your group depending on how you behave
    • are able to be killed, which will have an effect on the story
  • engage in fluid close and ranged combat with a massively improved control system
  • experience a story where your actions have consequences, immersing you in a world of moral decisions

Piranha Bytes studio states it is "in a difficult situation"
Over the past few hours, there have been plenty of rumors of the closure of Piranha Bytes (ELEX, Gothic, Risen). Indeed, as part of its vast restructuring plan, Embracer has apparently decided to make the studio disappear. However, the studio has come out to contradict this information, admitting that…

Well, I am conflicted about this. Second game in a serious and I am still feeling cold about it. Don`t get me wrong, Elex 1-2 is decent, but I still would rather play PBs old game design with pseudo-open world like in Gothic 1 and 2, where you had interconnected zones, that way devs had way more time ( and less space ) to populate and fine small details for immersion, instead of big and mostly dead open world.

But I digress, speaking only about Elex 2 now. Well, if you played Elex 1 then its more or less the same but with improved gameplay. Story isnt something revelation like, but it does have its own moments, cringy moments too, nobody gonna be left unattended, so to speak. Some visual glitches now and then. companions stuck and quests forgetting to tell you where to go, so you need to google or go to log and use markers are downsides for sure, but nothing gamebreaking, getting 100% wasn`t overly hard.

Soo, should you buy it? Well, if you know what PB games are and know into what are you getting in, then sure, its decent game, specially if its on discount, I enjoyed playing it.

And if you have no idea about previous PB games, then...I suggest you to look more reviews and " lets plays " since this games are not exactly mainstream friendly.
