ELEX

It's rather comedic that if you turn on German voices, the characters suddenly start talking in full sentences, instead of some stilted, barely grammatical nonsense. Whoever translated ELEX into foreign languages shafted this game for real. Otherwise it's a fine and inventive spin on Gothic 3, this time including plasma rifles and a jetpack. Both make this iteration of Gothic 3 so much less tedious it's insane. Is it better than Risen? Yeah, maybe. Is it better than Gothic? xd

I rate this game (0) Zero. Worst piece of crap I ever played. Don't waste your time and money on this garbage game. There is no fun to be had playing it. Try something as simple as joining a faction. You will run quest after quest after quest after quest with no progress of any kind. And when I say no progress I mean NO Progress. You will just be told to run more quest. The game is a never ending list of fetch quest. Piranha Bytes needs a kick in the pants every single one of them. Robbing me of my money wasn't enough. Just stole hours of my life.

Great RPG. Open world. Decisions actually matter. Kinda nice when a game says that and delivers.

Honestly, couldn't get very far into the game as EVERYTHING required RIDICULOUS skill levels. Combat is completely unexplained to you at the start, and even on normal i struggled with even 'basic' enemies, by which i mean died repeatedly. Is there a good game somewhere deep down in ELEX? sure. Am i going to put in the sisyphean effort of finding it? ♥♥♥♥ no. I've better titles to play if i wanna be beaten down arbitrarily.

No. It's not a hard no, but it's a definite no. I don't mind jank... I don't mind hard games... but I really dislike hard jank games, they are the worst. There is joy to be had from this title. Not from the dialogue, of course, as it's just cancer in audible form, but in general the game comes across initially well. That is until you scratch the surface, then the gloss quickly fades and annoying jank difficulty sets in. Get it for free? Sure. Do that. On sale? Hmm.. depends on how much. It's a 75% discount as I write this (£25->£6) and for that price, again, sure. Less than half price and/or full price? No, no and thrice no. At that point you are actively paying for something to give it to you from behind without the common decency of a reach around.

Really good RPG with good story and story switches, with nice big world full of unspoken stories, i really liked it but watch out on level ups, because you will receive nothing for points, only for perks you learn :) i find it out after level 11, then when i focused leveling and was puting points where i need them for better weapon or some perk, it starts go much more smoothly and there was not panick run after 2 rats starts attacking me :). So overall if you like rpgs with good story elements, and easy to learn fight systems, try it and it. P.S.: And for all berserkers : Let the machines rust. Let the roots grow!!!
