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 embarks on a mission to convince the factions to unite against the invaders, as well as a personal quest to find his 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

lol @Mista and @Bullet Club dropping the same thread at exactly the same time.

We all know there's only one way to solve this:

LSD, closed cage, oil, Hotline Miami style masks, fight to the death.

The game looked very unpolished in the latest gameplay bits, but I don't know if moving the launch to Q1 of next year is a good idea. It's already packed with big games.

I quit the first one about 10 hours in. The combat was just soooooo shitty.

I thought the exploration was good in the first one but it was janky as fuck. The combat was a mess, WAY too confusing inventory management/training/and skill allocation, and it looked pretty bad. So yeah, I'll probably pick this one up.

I'm sure I'd enjoy parts of this game, but I don't know if I have it in me to accept all the jank.

I've decided I'm going to give it another go, despite quitting for the same reason.

I want to see how the sequel plays, because if it wasn't for the shit combat it would have been a game I happily sunk 50 hours into. Especially with the 3 different factions to play through and all the abilities that come with them.

Let me know how you get on. Whether you can endure that crap they call combat. I was actually quite enjoying everything else, but it just became too much.

Their cinematics always make me groan/laugh. So much cringe.



Gives me the feeling they're trying to appeal to 12-yr old white males in the 80s and 90s. If I could get past the awful character designs, I feel like these games would be a guilty pleasure of mine.
