There's some good in Elex 2 but alotta bad as well. Coming in from Elex 1, which I really enjoyed there's some things improved and some worse than it. Graphic engine is improved but the characters look terrible, no facial animations or emotions, odd skin textures give off the kinda lifeless doll-like characters. Caja's scrunched up face makes her look like she smells something terrible everytime she's on screen! Most faction armors look horrible compared to Elex 1. Combat is much improved. Melee is alot more responsive compared to the slow Elex 1 melee. The ranged combat felt worse tho, gone are the alt fire types. Playing on controller the auto-aim was one of the worst I've ever experienced. Giant mantis right in my face but auto aim snaps to a flying enemy miles away in the distant sky. It happened so much. Exploration is a mixed bag as well. Jetpack upgrades make for great fast traversal but loot felt very underwhelming, opening a safe to only get a small heal potion and 2 rolls of toilet paper! So many of the loot items are just actual trash to sell, they might seem like crafting materials but 80% is just stuff to sell. It doesn't have the difficulty curve of Elex 1 w…
The last nail in the coffin of a once great studio. By far the worst game they have ever released. Story that for some reason tries to slap some family aspects into your face. Engine was already completely outdated at the time of release. Janky combat and the last third of the main questline ist just killing the same enemies that you already killed in hordes. Really nothing to be remembered.
absolutely not worth $70
Fantastic Sequel to the first game, still complete Euro Jank, and sadly we will not get the 3rd installment, due to the rushed development forced by the published the chapters 3 and 4 felt very rushed but still did a great job on story telling, I am happy finally understand why this studio had everyone hooked since Gothic, and I am sad we will never see another trilogy concluded. 8/10
Good game, decent Story line, plenty side mission and main quest! The jet pack is a life saver be sure to use it as often as possbile!
If you like it hard and long this is your game
